    Goldeneye Wii controller setup

    I just got goldeneye Wii from gamefly and am really enjoying it. There is just way too many ways to tweak the controls. Does anyone have a good setup that I could try out? The one I am using right now is: Dead Zone: 50 (top) by 32 (side) Maximum Turn Zone: 90 (top) by 75 (side)...

    Trauma Center for DS - 1 or 2

    So, long story, but my nephew is a gaming prodigy or something. When he was 7 he would beat disney DS games in mere hours. I thought that he was just skilled for his age, but I asked anandtech a while back for a tough game. I ended up getting him Castlevania games (dawn of sorrow and portrait...

    Just finished Penumbre:Overture

    Game was awesome. I can see where they could have improved but for the first in a series I was blown away by the immersion/story/creepiness. Is Black Plague worth getting next? Any major differences?

    Gamecube Games for the Wii - Memory Cards?

    So, I found a copy of Rogue Squadron II for $5 at a gamestop and heard it was pretty good. I already had a gamecube controller but didn't have a gamecube memory card because I figured I could use my SD card. I guess I was wrong... Anyone know where to get a cheap gamecube memory card...

    Dragon Age - How far along in the game am I?

    [Spoilers ahead obviously] ... So, I got all the alliances back and just got the Ashes from the Urn (and killed my first high dragon, woooo!). Besides a few sidequests, I think I just need to head back to Denerim. My question is, how far along am I percentage wise? I'm just...

    CoD: WaW (wii) - worth hanging onto once single player is beaten?

    I just beat it last night and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think its the first FPS on the Wii that I could handle. Is the game worth hanging onto for that zombie mode or multiplayer? Or should I return it and look for a new game from gamefly? Thoughts/experiences?

    Call of Duty: World at War [Wii] - First FPS I have enjoyed on the Wii

    I have tried a few FPS for the wii (including the new metroid), and I havent really cared for anything until WaW. I think it is really well done. I feel like, for the first time, that I don't -have- to have a keyboard + mouse setup to play a FPS. (I only own a wii and a PC).

    I'm pretty close to beating the game with the girl and wanted to know if it's worth it to play the other character. Is it just the same, or does it complete another 1/2 of the game?

    Muramasa: The Demon Blade is pretty awesome

    I just got this from gamefly after wanting a good sidescroller. This game is pretty fantastic and a lot deeper than you would think. I just beat the first boss so I'm only 10min in or so, but I am loving it so far.

    Noticeable performance hit from installing Vista on an 5400rpm drive?

    I have a unique HDD predicament, but and easy fix would be to install Vista on a 60gb 5400rpm WD drive. Would I notice a significant sluggishness from using an older slower drive just for the OS? thoughts?

    Endless Ocean 2 - what's it like?

    Why do people buy movies?
