Anybody play World of Tanks? I love this game because it's casual. You can pick up whenever you want and stop whenever you want. Great game. My account is fdu. Feel free to add me.

Purchased another mic. Got a code for the game included with the mic. Free to the first person that pm's me. Instructions on the back say windows only.

I bought this game a while ago and only last night had a chance to play it and it is fun. The single player that i've played feels like you're in a battle. Enemies are smart and take cover in a way that feels realistic your teams mates are on par with the enemies. I'm glad I spent the money and haven't ever tried the multiplayer yet. I'm going to get some friends over here this week and give it a try.

I've been playing this quite a bit recently; does anyone else on here play? If you haven't heard of it before, it's a realistic zombie survival simulator that is simple AWESOME! Imagine hopping on vent/skype with a few friends, and spending 1-2 hours to find each other, and then try to survive. You can die by zombies, which are all controlled by AI, other players gunning you down (or you can cooperate with them), or by hunger/thirst/injuries, so it is not just another zombie game where you gun down everything you see. This will give you a good idea of the teamwork/fun involved! Lots of hilarious moments. Or you could encounter bandits, hostile players that …

Was in the middle of GTA4 and it froze up and shut down. Now when I try and turn it on it stays on for 3 seconds then shuts down and beeps 3 times. The light flashes red as well. Anyone know if this can be fixed or is it going to be a trip to Sony? I've got one of the early 80 gig ones that has the hardware emulation for older Playstation games.

Did any of you goons buy into this one during the kickstarter? I was a bit wary of buying into a game so early in development, but the scope's looking pretty damn big now, and it's still in alpha. It's a huge space simulator in a huge persistent universe, but it also has some more simplified sub-games like arena combat and space racing. There's a free weekend going on right now, so I'll probably fly around and shoot at junk. It's a bit of a behemoth download at 27gb, so my condolences to any of you recently inflicted with Comcast. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/ for more info on what the game is about. It won't be listed on steam or origin, since it's b…

Continuum Not sure if anyone here has heard this, I started playing in 2001 and still log on every once in a while, it's that kind of game. Either you will hate it or want to get good - there is a fairly steep learning curve. Try playing in the zone Extreme-games. Figured I have enjoyed this for a while, might as well pass it on.

Shakesville: I Write Letters <-- blog about Fat Princess So this girl e-mailed Sony about this new "Fat Princess" game being discriminating. I'm a bit confused about the following statement.

I'm normally a run and gun kind of player, but after repeatedly playing Firing Range map so much and losing to the biggest camping whores (lying down in the garage, hallways, etc.) I decided to show them what REAL camping is about. Here's a video of a match from last night where I went 37-0. Attack Dogs + Chopper Gunner = Massacre. Follow through click to the Youtube link for the 720P version. -Ed

Aside from games, the interface seems like a game-changer. Poor presentation (typical MS) but good substance I thought.

So this game is coming out in a few days and I'm pretty sure that more than a few of us will be getting this game. What system will you guys be buying it for. I'll probably pick it up for whatever system seems to be the majority here and we can make a clan or something.

This is as cool as can be, and something I know that Shell will love. It's just amazing to me how it works. Watch the 3 videos for the math and such. http://www.loop-the-game.com/ So I got interested and emailed the guy for pricing. Turns out they're quite expensive, not surprising since they're handmade and quite tricky to get just right. Cost is £15,000 plus shipping. Gulp.

Thanks to the efforts of a redditor, some previously console-exclusive DLC for GRID is now available via P2P. It adds 20 new cars and a new track to the game. The files are also available here and here.

I've been feeling somewhat nostalgic for all the Infinity Engine games (BG series/Planescape/Icewind Dale series), and I was wondering if anyone has ran them successfully via BootCamp/XP? Any problems that I should be aware of?

After being curious about the game for years but never knowing anyone who played, I finally found a group about six months ago and headed off to Wildemount. I absolutely love this game. Since then, I've started running my own games, all online (due to COVID and practical restrictions). Any other dorks of this particular stripe on HC?

I am not much of a gamer but my brother sent me this link for 8 popular (although a little dated) games. You essentially pay what you want and the money goes to charity, except that you have to pay at least above the average (which was $4.73 when I signed up). Could be useful for some folks and the money is going to a good cause. https://www.humblebundle.com/?utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Introducing+the+Humble+Origin+Bundle!&utm_campaign=20130813_m116906107_Introducing+the+Humble+Origin+Bundle!&utm_term=Humble+Origin+Bundle

Not sure if this really belongs here or in the computer advice forum, but here goes. I'm considering picking up a PS3 for its Bluray capabilities and occasional game fun time. What wireless router do you recommend that will work well with the PS3? Other uses will include iPhone around the house internet access, and who knows, maybe a wireless music server a la Squeezebox at some point in the future. I was actually just at Best Buy (which I realized, tonight, without a doubt, that I hate, and I will try to never go in there again) and almost bought a standard Linksys router for $80 or so, but I got cold feet when I realized I didn't know if I'd need something more…

READY FOR ACTION! And coming to the XBox 360 Arcade. http://snowblind.com/Death_Tank_1280x720.wmv Fuck yeah, it's about damn time. I like the updated graphics, yet they still kept the core controls and feel of the game, right down to how the force shield behaves. -Ed

Ok, so the Boy wants a video game console. I want to get him one that we can use together. My initial assumption was Wii U, but it is getting mixed reviews. What do you guys think? XBOX with Kinect? Basically, I want something that has good multi-player, non-shooting games. So lots of sports titles and things that the Boy can physically do instead of just using the controller. Don't care about Blu-Ray, etc.

I just started playing Persona 5 and it is incredible. You don't get a lot of games with this level of style, deep storytelling, and variety. Persona 4 also had a killer soundtrack and I'd say this is one of the best reasons to get a Playstation. The only weakness of the games is their linear design and the slight repetition of the battles. In a way, I think the Persona games tell you more about modern Japan than Sega's Yakuza games (which are also legendary).

Gears of War 2 was announced at GDC today and it's scheduled to come out for the 360 in November.
