Re: So that's what those things are called

Basically, on the surface the game is a pretty bland indie platformer with a perspective switching gimmick that has probably been done better elsewhere. If you dig a little deeper you end up finding a Myst-esque puzzle/adventure game which requires taking careful notes on paper and observation of th...

Worked for me when I tried it a few hours ago on the 360 version, and the internet at large seems to be associating it with this deal.

Anyone going after that amazon deal might want to use the UNLEASH5 code for another $5 off.

Re: What do porn stars wear to job interviews?

Most TVs output at an incredibly low volume for the audio out jacks and expect the receiving speakers to amplify them as necessary, completley ignoring the volume control for anything but the internal speakers. Some fancier tvs will let you adjust the external volume but generally have enabling it b...

Re: Lost Winds

I've been really keen on My Life as King, except I'm not certain it's the game I'm thinking of! I read an interview where the creator almost likened it to Pikmin, except when you herd all your warriors together to slay some giant beast, they leave mourning family behind in the village. I didn't rea...

Glad to see that you can assign your own text to the taunt speech bubbles, as opposed to getting stuck with cheesy pre-set messages à la ChuChu Rocket. Better yet, this provides a decent alternative to an alias for those who aren't comfortable with anonymity and don't feel like identifying thems...

There was a bit of discussion about it within the thread so I felt like chipping in my reasoning for disliking it along with pop's (which I guess he didn't actually state in this thread but I'm fairly certain he's probably discussed it in prior threads). Anyway, the vagueness was largely due to the ...

I tend to agree that Pyschonauts is, by and large, crap. Certainly the writing and general set design concepts are clever, but roughly just about everything else ranges from mediocre to terrible in actual execution. It felt a lot like an adventure game trapped in a platformer's body. A really bad pl...

Even though pretty much everything about Adventure is improved from the original, I still find it missing something in terms of feel from the original. Lacking any other reason I'm pretty much forced to place it on the music. It's not that it's bad (in fact, it's quite good), and it really is a lot ...

My hopes aren't too high, but I admittedly like what I see in the gameplay trailer. The level has a much larger feel to it than the original's on account of the much larger draw distance and less emphasis on the background. I rather like how it works with the feeling of flying. But otherwise it's st...

They can with the infamous swap trick (unless you count putting a piece of tape inside the saturn a modification), but it'll slowly kill the cd drive and takes several tries to get the timing right.

I'm not entirley sure how it's a marketing ploy when they hardly mention the existence of the minigames anywhere except the game itself. I'm just a little bit irked by all the people complaining about their inclusion as I'm apparently the only DS owner who didn't buy SM64 and actually appreciates ha...

The point of a game is to be fun, and there is no one aspect that single-handedly determines enjoyability. Actually, the point of a piece of art can vary widely and simply defining it as 'fun' is a small section of what games (and other arts) can make their players feel and implying the only goal i...

Sonic Cult kept mentioning on its main page, GHZ-this or GHZ-that but I could never find a bloody link on their site... eventually I stumbled upon it while looking for NiGHTS information and proceded to spend the majority of 2 days reading the entire thing. Never touched the old boards because they ...
