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

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

I really enjoy this series. Has anyone else played it? I find it as good as Final Fantasy and unique because of its gameplay/combat and storyline. I recently saw they are working on the 3rd installment of the series for DS so I'm pretty happy. This is one RPG I reccomend anyone with PSP/PS2 to try out. The original is for PS1 but those cost around $90used and $250+new on ebay nowadays because of it's supply and demand. I'd say just play the PSP reprint with enhanced CG cutscenes.

I've been thinking. Bad habit, I know... The PC, as a gaming platform, is superior to consoles. It is more powerful and more customizable, it offers unparalleled support for third party controllers as well as support for independent developers. It is cheaper to develop for, and its native keyboard and mouse interface is significantly more precise than a dual analog stick controller. But all of this comes at a cost - a good gaming PC is a lot more expensive than a console, and it also requires time to set up as well as some technical skill on part of the user. Consoles, in the meanwhile, are cheap, easy to use, require almost no effort to set up, and offer a platform t…

Purchased it when it came out and bought it again when I got the Orange Box, so I have an extra copy. First PM gets it.

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.

Since I live in the orient, where real, legal PS3 games are a thing of the past, I have to order physical games online. I ordered "Last of Us" on father's day (or to be precise, I ordered it and told my wife that the dog ordered it as a father's day present) and finally got it in. Open it up, dust off the never-used PS3, and it can't read the disc. Can't read any other game disc, either. It just makes the "eject" sound, and fails to initialize. FFuuuuuuu... So I order another drive after wading through a goddamn WaReZ nightmare of finding part numbers and sifting through descriptions of long-since unused parts. That will be here in another 3 weeks or so. …

Anyone ever play Desert Bus? I'm serious.

Has anyone played this yet? The reviews are really good and it sounds like an RPG done right, with the decision making.

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 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).

I think this may have been released a bit ago, but just stumbled across the trailer today. Anyone play Limbo?

Anyone else playing this? It's like those old Streets of Rage/Ninja Turtles/X-Men arcade side scrollers on crack. Get 3 friends and it's incredibly fun. Anyone with a 360 owes it to themselves to spend 12 bucks on it.

I've only found Mask of the Betrayer and The Witcher. Mass Effect is boring compared to those two. Any suggestions?

http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ They've updated this again in a big time way. I'm going through this game right now and I just marvel how much depth and texture and complexity there is in this game to this day and how well its aged thanks to the mod work and tender loving care from the creators themselves on this project. http://uqm-mods.sourceforge.net/ There's a few side mods that go with this that I'm really happy about not the least of which are time dilation mods that hold back the Kor-Ah Borg like March some 200 years so you actually have time to enjoy the damned game. That always my one biggest complaint with this game. http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/…

Anyone played it? When I was in high school I was pretty obsessed with DDR and ITG, but once I got into college I lost my access to any local machines so I picked up the pc alternative. For those not in the know, pretty much you mash the shit out of a keyboard in attempt to hit different combinations of arrows that are matched up with keys on your keyboard. It can get pretty nuts.

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…

I'm on the "Mind Flayer" server. Anyone for some occasional adventuring at unpredictable, intermittent times?

I just started playing this game last week and I have to say it's pretty amazing. It really reminds me of the classic Need for Speed games (Most Wanted, particularly – the first one). I didn't know there was an in-car view... that's what put me off the game when it was released. The graphics and physics are pretty good for an arcade racer. I'm looking forward to getting more cars and leaving Rookie status behind... life is all about money and rep. Also, the soundtrack is entertaining for the period. If you follow cars, this game will really date itself (2008). A lot of the cars (like the Cadillac XLR-V) are long extinct.

Is there a game for Appleseed? We watched Ex Machina recently, and I thought there was (it's safe to say that based purely on the visuals, there should be), but can't seem to find anything.

http://forum.1cpubli...ead.php?t=15109 Release date supposedly Q4 2011 at least according to Gamespot. I hope so. http://www.gamespot....ies3/index.html From 1C: http://forum.1cpubli...splay.php?f=178 Main thread http://forum.1cpubli...ead.php?t=16101 Previews Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uIA8bXJObo YES! For those uninitiated to the series you can get both previous game together on Steam for about $25. Well worth it IMO. Think a really nice Hitman clone set during WW2 with its own set of wrinkles and unique features with an evil masochists's level of difficulty in on the easiest settin…
