    Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)

    Have you guys played the newest Sonic game, Sonic Unleashed. I've played the demo and Sonic moves so incredibly fast at times that you almost can't tell where you're going. I find it funny that the previous game they released, called just Sonic the Hedgehog, was probably the slowest Sonic game...

    Yoshi's Island's levels are too big for my taste.

    Super Mario World (snes)

    I'm sure you can save more often than at a castle or ghost house. According to Wiki's Super Mario World page, you could save after every other level.

    Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)

    I haven?t played this game in a long time, but I remember liking it less than Sonic Adventure 1 because Sonic's levels no longer felt like riding a speedy rollercoaster. I got Sonic Adventure 2 today and have already finished the game with the good guys and I?m half way through the game with the...

    Dreamcast & Sonic Adventure & Games of Today

    Specialty I haven?t been having much fun with current games lately. There are a few here and there, but not enough for me to be interested in gaming as a pastime. I think it started back when my original XBOX died. But more importantly, when I made the realization when my XBOX 360 died...

    Dreamcast & Sonic Adventure & Games of Today

    Adventure I ordered Sonic Adventure soon after getting the VGA cable. I ordered a non-Sega All Star version, but one came anyway. The one I used to play back in the day was also a Sega All Star, but the original art looks better. The Sega All Star logo seems to cheapens the experience. I...

    Dreamcast & Sonic Adventure & Games of Today

    Renewed But I got a little ahead of myself. The S-video cable that came with the system didn?t work. The screen displayed only black. This forced me to use the composite cables that came with the system. I didn?t think much of it since that?s how I used to play back in 2001, but because I was...

    OS Poll - Do you like Windows 7?

    I Just had a thought. Instead of Libraries, can't you just create a folder of and put shortcuts in it from various locations. I think that would work. The only difference then would be the fact that you wouldn't be able to see the contents of multiple folders at once.

    Windows 7 includes its own wallpaper changer. Although it's not obvious, its a cool addition.

    OS Poll - Do you like Windows 7?

    I still can't find a use for those Libraries. It just doesn't make sense to me. I'm sure there are some of you that can benefit from it, and I agree that it can be useful in certain situations, but making the whole User Folder Library-based is a bit much. It's nice that I have a Libarary in the...

    OS Poll - Do you like Windows 7?

    Coming from Vista, there are a few things I like and dislike. The speed is great, but the GUI doesn't blow me away. I'll still get it though... to get away from Vista. The new taskbar is refreshing, but overall, the GUI is OK. The reason is simply because most of it was already done in...

    Vista networking issue... and a slight rant

    It's not IBM Thinkpad anymore, it's Lenovo Thinkpad. However, bloatware still exists, which is the reason I reinstalled Vista as soon as I got the laptop. Surprisingly, Vista didn't automatically install the drivers, so I had to use their System Update software and it wants you to install so...

    Vista networking issue... and a slight rant

    Out of the three OSs I've used, XP is the only OS that worked great 95% of the time. I'm at a point in my life where I don't feel like I should have to tolerate these issues. I want things to work out of the box - just like they promise. I know everything can't work, but how many POS things do I...

    Vista networking issue... and a slight rant

    My experience with Windows Vista has changed. I used to recommend Vista because of it almost never crashes and other positives. That was before I got a laptop. Vista on my laptop sucks because I have such a difficult time getting on the internet. It has constant difficulty connecting wirelessly...

    Who games on a 120Hz tv?

    Yeah, you mean you can't stand playing @ 30fps @ 60Hz. You need to play @ 30fps @ 120Hz.

    Regenerating health

    I prefer getting health packs. Remember those? I just think self-regeneration cheapens gameplay. But I wouldn't mind a mix, such as in Resistance, or Condemned 2.

    ps3 vs. 360

    I have the 40GB PS3, my bro has the 60GB PS3 with backwards compatibility. His PS3 is at least twice as loud compared to mine. Not as bad as the 360, but up there.

    ps3 vs. 360

    I still maintain that, due to hardware issues, both suck so it doesn't matter which one. However, the 360 does have XBOX Live and the PS3 has Blu-ray.

    Just curious...why does everyone care about achievements so much?

    Nope, I think achievements are total crap and ruin the fun of gaming. Although that was before I found out in this thread that you can disable the notifications. It's not such an annoyance then. My 14 year old brother likes them though. He and his friends compete and brag about them.

    Purchasing from Gamefly

    Netflix is great as well, for movies. I am very satisfied with the service. Actually there is one disappointment. I wish the Queue list could carry more than 500 titles at once.

    Purchasing from Gamefly

    I had that problem too, except it would take more than a week to for the game to get there. This is because Gamefly only has one shipping center in California. I live in New Jersey. Now I use Gamerang, which has four shipping centers - and one of them is 20 minutes away from my house :D. I...

One reason for this is because I want get rid of the extra headroom used up by analysis and judgment...

    GTA4 resale value = crap.

    So I just sold my brother's GTA4 for the XBOX 360 on ebay; and it sold for.... $10. Yeah, I can't believe it either. Resistance for the PS3 sold for 40% more than that.

    I just got Pure and its impressive playing it for the first time. It's filled with personality and attitude. Since I haven't played any of the other games Warcrow mentioned, I'd say he has it spot on that it is like SSX. You get to customize every single tiny piece of your ATV. I think there...

    Sony PSP 3000 interlace problem

    Metal Gear Solid 4 (PERIOD). Although I do agree that they aren't doing great things. But then, aside from XBOX Live itself, everything from all three current generation consoles is mediocre.

    IGN review of Saints Row 2 Audited

    I've gone through GTA vs Saint's Row before, so I'm not going to do that here. Instead I'm going to point out, as many of you probably already know, the crap that IGN still is. The author said some things about GTA4 that made me think twice. How is GTA4 a small game?! He also says GTA is...

    Just got a 360.

    Although I don't like putting consoles on top of other consoles, the each exposed vent needs at least 4 inches of room. It looks like the layout on the left would do that. And keep the doors open when it's on.

    Interesting article about Xbox 360 defects (RROD) by Dean Takahashi

    My original Xbox died after about the length of time it took my 360 to get RROD. It was due to DVD Drive issue that would've cost me at least $100 bucks to fix. As if I'd pay a third of the price because their supplier was an A-hole. And the worst thing is that even the 360 has some DVD drive...
