    Gran Turisomo 5: Terrible Driving Game, or Worst Driving Game Ever?

    I agree 100%, I felt Hot Pursuit was a much better game - however, like GT5 I felt it was a disappointment from earlier games in the franchise. The old NFS Hot Pursuit games were muuuuuuch better overall.

    New monster truck game

    Here's another vote for Monster Jam. Truth be told, I actually played through it on the 360 (not the PC), but I would assume they are similar - I found it rather fun. It's not something you will play for countless hours, but it does provide some entertainment if you're interested in the...

    Black Water in DiRT 2 DX11

    You could try installing a previous version of the Forceware driver. Installing old versions of drivers has worked for me in the past when I encountered similar graphical glitches.

    Anyone remember the NES Advantage?

    I actually own one of those lol :). I also had the NES Max and a bunch of other lesser known joysticks. Nowadays all we have are the MadCatz's of the world to innovate with their controller designs.

    What was your #1 rated game of 2010?

    Mass Effect 2. Second place would have to go to Starcraft 2 :)

    PS3 Must Haves

    Don't forget God of War 3 (and God of War collection). Though you could probably finish GOW3 during a rental, its still an amazing game :).

    Split-Screen CO-OP Games

    In addition to the others mentioned in this thread, I had a lot of fun playing Earth Defense Force splitscreen with my brother as well as all of the Dynasty Warrior and Samurai Warrior Games :)

    Someone gave me DS Lite as an early xmas present? Keep it?

    The DS Lite is an amazing system. I currently have a DSi XL which I play almost every day when I have some time. You should look into the features of the DSi and the soon-to-be-released Nintendo 3DS. If the additional features don't seem to interest you, I would say keep the DS Lite. Plus, its...

    Free XBLA games

    They're both not bad. I actually liked the t-rex game they released for free as well. Doritos is pretty good at making arcade games - plus, you can never argue with free :).

    Epic Mickey - A Mouse To Atone For The World He's Wrought

    Most of the reviews I've read basically complain that its like an N64 platformer (like Donkey Kong 64 and Mario). I don't really see why they view that as such a negative - N64 had some amazing games. I'm also glad to see another positive review.

    Underrated Games

    Daikatana......just kidding, that game did suck lol. I would say Star Trek: Legacy. It was hammered by critics, but I really liked the game - you got to play as each of the captains and pilot each of their ships. The missions were interesting and varied. And the best part was that they...

    Any good DS titles worth the buy?

    Agreed. Although it does get kind of hectic during the later levels. It had a nice, original concept.

    Best place to buy a 360?

    If you are willing to wait a few weeks I would suggest trying to get one on boxing day/during boxing week. Most of the big box stores (Wal-Mart, etc.) always have major clearances on consoles every year after Christmas to sell their excess stock.

    Battlefield Bad Company 2 Single player any good??

    The single player was great, albeit short. However, I would quality over quantity any day of the week when it comes to FPS games these days. Plus, you always have the excellent MP to fall back on once you are done with the SP story.

    How's Dead Space?

    Dead space was amazing. One of the more original games in quite some time. It wasn't particularly "scary" but the game produces a great atmosphere and had excellent controls. Now would be as good a time as any to pick it up as I believe the sequel is coming out in about a month.

    How's the reliability on the PS3 Slim?

    That's exactly what I've been doing since the Slim came out. I bought it immediately so I would have less wear on my launch system. Since I got the Slim I have only used my launch system to play PS2 games to get the slight improvement in graphics. Neither system has caused me any problems...

    Craig Ferguson is funnier than Conan or Dave

    The first few episodes of Conan were okay but they kind of seemed to go downhill from there. That being said, I do prefer Conan to Jay Leno. I agree that of the current late night hosts that Craig Ferguson is the best, I watch his show at least twice a week. I used to enjoy watching Craig...

    Srs Business...SF4 or Halo

    In that case, I would change my vote to Halo Reach. Too bad I can't change my vote now :(. Oh well just reduce the overall vote for Halo to +1 and SF4 to -1 lol.

    star wars unleashed II

    Overall, I thought the first one was okay. I liked the story and the force powers. My favorite part was the prologue where you got to control Vader. Force Unleashed 2 felt like more of same and I feel it should have focused instead entirely on Vader - it would have probably been much more...

    Srs Business...SF4 or Halo

    I would go with Street Fighter 4, but only because it has more replay value and lasting appeal (finishing the game with every character and unlocking all the medals can take a long time). I would likely become bored with Halo after the second or third playthrough. Now if the poll was which...

    List some movies you've watched recently. Theatre, rental, TV...

    Jonah Hex: 1/10. The story was totally non-believable and the acting was just awful (with the exception of Josh Brolin - I guess his performance was adequate). Hopefully the next western released will actually be good. I'm hoping for one based on Red Dead Redemption :).

    Why does SC2 skip/hang on my desktop?

    I know this will probably sound obvious and you have probably already tried it, but just in case I thought I would mention it - have you installed the latest drivers for your video card

    OFFICIAL Kinect thread.

    Im considering purchasing Kinect not for me, but for my little sister. She really likes cats, and I think she would have a lot of fun with Kinectimals. It would make a good Christmas present, since she isnt old enough to own and take care of a real pet :).

    OnLive MicroConsole review

    Me too. My ISP already has a bandwidth cap in place of a few GB per month, so, just like Netflix, it will not work for me :(.

    GT5 vs DIRT2 vs Forza vs F1 2010

    Right this second F1 2010 has the most realistic graphics. That being said, once GT5 is released it will likely be pushed down to second place :).

    Black Ops Single Player w/ out shooting

    I did find the AI pretty bad, but the game was pretty fun (for the few hours that the single player campaign lasted anyways). I wouldn't be surprised if they increased the AI with a patch, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

    Anyway to slowdown SC2?

    I don't think there will ever be a way to slowdown SC2 without the aid of an external program (or running it on a really slow computer lol). That being said, if you prefer to take longer to think out your moves/execute you should probably just pay some turn-based strategy games instead. My...

    PS3 or 360

    I have to agree with others on here, if you're going the 360 route definitely buy new (the hardware has way too many potential issues). Since you want to play GT5, I guess the choice is clear, go with the PS3. I personally play my 360 more than my PS3, but I feel that PS3 has much better...

    Call of Duty: Black Ops

    Reminds me of Halo Reach's flaming helmet that came with the collectors edition - I like to call it the headshot helmet :D. They as may as well paint a target on your characters back, it will be just as useful lol.

    Marvel vs Capcom: Fate of Two DLC Characters

    That's what I did with Ultimate Alliance, I waited to purchase the gold edition to get all of the characters. Marvel sure does like doing DLC this way lol.

    Should I buy games or get them off of steam?

    I always buy all my games retail if I can. I guess I'm just paranoid that someday Steam might go out of business and I would lose all my games :$. Something similar happened to one of online distributors of Prey a few years ago I believe (though the parent company sent those users retail discs...

    CoD Blops worse than MW?

    Modern Warfare had a much better single player campaign, and I actually preferred the multiplayer portion over Black Ops. If they would just have given Modern Warfare dedicated servers it would have been perfect.

    Official Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit thread

    I tried out the demo, but it seemed a bit too much like Burnout Paradise for my tastes. I still miss the original hot pursuit for PC, that game was great.

    Any good DS titles worth the buy?

    The Professor Layton series and the Dragon Quest series (both the remakes and the newest one) have kept me busy for a while. If you want to go somewhat old school I would recommend any of the Pokemon titles.

    Do you think that WoW might be here to stay?

    I think that it will be be here to stay until Blizzard releases their next MMO. Imagine how awesome a Diablo MMO would be :awe:.
