    Facebook on the 360/PS3/Wii

    I've been searching around for information about this, but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. With the new Facebook integration on both the 360 and the PS3, can either of them play the goofy Facebook games like Farmtown, Farmville, etc.? The same with the Wii...can its web...

    So, it has come to this, Wii!

    The wife wants a Wii for Christmas, and with the WalMart deal starting this weekend, it looks like I cannot refuse. Thus, as I am resigned to the fact that I will inevitably own a Wii, what are some good games for a "core" (lol) gamer? I know the new Super Mario Bros, and Metroid Prime...

    Are there any differences between the PS3 and 360 versions of Madden 10?

    I've been thinking about buying Madden 10, since I've been hankering for a football game, and I haven't played one since Madden 2005 and NFL 2K5 on the original XBOX. I own both a PS3 and a 360, and I've been reading reviews on different sites, and nobody has really mentioned any difference...

    How bad is Intel GMA graphics in a laptop?

    I've been looking at purchasing a cheap laptop, since my old one is broken, and I've seen most laptops come with Intel X4500 HD integrated graphics. I know that these Intel integrated graphic "solutions" are pretty pathetic, but will it be able to: - Run Windows 7 with all the UI features...

    Does the "new" XBOX 360 Elite come with an HDD transfer cable?

    The title of the topic pretty much speaks for itself. I've been considering selling my 20 GB Pro once I get it fixed by Microsoft, and I'm wondering if the new $299.99 Elite bundle comes with an HDD transfer cable included? If not, where is the best/cheapest place to buy one? Thanks!

    My 360 RROD'd Last Night...

    So, I think that Microsoft heard me talking about how my XBOX 360 is working after two years, and decided to hit the killswitch to make mine RROD. :( Almost exactly two years after I bought my XBOX 360, it RROD'd last night. It showed no signs that anything was wrong...just boom, dead. I...

    Cataclysmic WOW Polls!

    I thought it would be fun to have a poll on how folks felt about the announced new race/class combos and Worgen for the Alliance/Goblins for the Horde. People got all bent out of shape about Blood Elf Paladins and DKs, so I wonder how folks feel about some of the more interesting new combos...

    Which PS3 Do You Own?

    With all of the news and discussion due to the official announcement of the PS3 Slim, I thought it'd be interesting to see what versions of the PS3 are most prevalent on the AT Console Forums. And also, to see who has been holding out for a major price cut/form factor change. Myself, I have...

    The PlayStation 3's PS2 Upscaler seems quite poor...

    So, I'm playing Final Fantasy XII on my MGS4 Edition 80GB PS3 model. I check the PS3/PS2 compatibility site, and it says there are no known issues with Final Fantasy XII. I have the latest PS3 firmware update. I set the PS1/PS2 Upscaler setting to Full Screen, the PS1/PS2 Smoothing On, and I...

    Mass Effect: Platinum Hits Version

    So, I had an urge to play Mass Effect again (I rented it when it originally came out), seeing as how Mass Effect 2 is right around the corner, and I deleted my save games from the HDD a long time ago. :o Also, I had played it on a 27" SDTV, and I wanted to see what it looked like on a 42" LCD...

    Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

    Final Fantasy IV is my favorite game of all time. I heard about the sequel, The After Years, and it intrigued me. Then I started learning more about it, and the problems really started jumping out at me. Which is really a shame, because I think a sequel to Final Fantasy IV would be awesome...

    Do Folks Still Play MGS4 Online?

    Does anyone still play MGS4 Online? I know a few expansions and what-not have come out in the (nearly) year since it was released. I'm just wondering if it would even be worth my while to try and jump online with regular MGS4. Can I even play online without the expansion stuff any more?

    Economical Upgrade to an 8800GT?

    I built my computer in November of 2007, and I got a BFG 512 MB 8800GT as my video card. It works okay, as I really only played WOW, but now I'm possibly looking at playing newer games that are more demanding. I really haven't paid attention to video cards for the past year and a half, so I...

    Inconsistent FPS in WOW with an 8800GT

    Hello everyone. I obviously play WOW, and I have noticed that I sometimes encounter some very inconsistent FPS problems. My computer far exceeds even the recommended specs, and I don't play at super high resolutions or with a lot of AA (2x only), so I don't really understand why I am having...

    Performance Issues With An 8800GT

    Hello all. As of late, I have noticed some performance issues with my 8800GT with 512 MB of RAM. All I have been doing is playing WOW, and there should be ZERO performance issues with that game. I have all settings maxed in WOW, except for AA, which I have at a meager 2x. I run the game at...

    Subpar WOW Performance

    Hello all. I just recently got back into WOW, and I figured with my new rig, I could max everything out and run it smooth as silk. Unfortunately, this is not the case, with frame rates often dropping into the single digits in large outdoor areas. This is nuts. My computer can run Gears of...

    BFG OC 512 MB 8800GT Fan Speed

    I have been hearing rumblings of the 8800GTs running pretty hot because the fan speeds don't ramp up according to the temperature, and it's locked at a constant 29%. I downloaded nTune, and it's pretty neat and all, allowing me to ramp up my fan speed (I keep it around 50%...cools it down about...

    Dell Inspiron 6000 Onboard Audio

    Hello all. I've been wondering if there is anyway to disable the SigmaTel onboard audio on my Inspiron 6000. I checked the BIOS, and there is no way to turn it off there. I've heard that onboard audio can suck down the resources like crazy. I'm not going to be using it, unless I'm out and...
