    PAL Xenoblade collector's item in America?

    I'm thinking of preordering the Xenoblade Chronicles Collector's edition for my rare collection. I usually stick with NTSC games, but I'm wondering if adding the PAL version of Xenoblade would be worth it? It obviously has momentum in North America and ebay even has the Japanese version listed...

    Kotaku's bad face lift

    Does anyone else find the revamped Kotaku, Gizmodo, Lifehacker etc... website layout awful? I used to read a lot more headlines with the older layout when they had a brief snippet about the article and a picture before the jump. Now I rarely read anything. It's almost as though they're trying...

    Side Scrolling Portions of Mario Galaxy 2

    Does anyone find them way more fun than New Super Mario Bros. Wii? I think if they made another NSMB Wii they ought to take a page from these level designs.

    My 3 weeks with Swoopo

    To those of you familiar what what swoopo.com is, you may find this story interesting. It is not a story of how I lost thousands of dollars or think swoopo is a scam...just my experiences on the site. 3 weeks ago I discovered swoopo.com. Being as curious as any naive person who stumbles upon...

    Who cares about new game announcements anymore?

    In lieu of the apparent new Metal Gear Announcement in Famitsu (http://kotaku.com/5271124/can-you-decipher-kojimas-famitsu-interview), I started to wonder, does anyone care about new game announcements anymore? The only reason I asked this is because my first response was "great, well I won't...

    Help Me Win America's Hottest Girl

    Hey CAGs So I entered the most shallow contest of all time, America's Hottest College Girl. Its a bracket tournament like March Madness......only girls are pitted against each other and you vote on them. Ironically enough, my picks have made the finals and I could possibly win $500. I'm asking...

    Remember when we all hated Raiden?

    I was reading an article about Kojima's keynote from the GDC last week (can be found here: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/966/966725p1.html) and it discussed that the next Metal Gear game could focus around Raiden (which for those of us who played MGS4 sort of expected). As I was reading it...

    RPGs suck today

    They suck today, plain and simple. With linear gameplay, voice acting in general and complicated and unnecessary character building systems, I find myself struggling to enjoy what was once my favorite genre in gaming. Here are a few points as to why I believe RPGs are being destroyed in the...

    Waiting to hear back about University

    So I'm currently in a serious crossroads in life. I applied to get my MBA at two universities ($200 per application). Last week, one of the universities notified me...by e-mail no less that they cannot offer me acceptance (which I thought was rather petty). I have yet to hear from the other...

    Tiger Direct deals

    I'm contemplating picking up a new computer from TigerDirect.ca right now to take advantage of $1.99 shipping. Does anyone know if they generally have extremely good boxing day/week deals or would it be in my best interest just to pick up a computer now?

    AMD or Intel CPU?

    My computer is slowly dying and it's about time for a new one. I haven't bought a computer since the days when Pentium 4 was tops. I don't game much (if any) on my computer. It's mostly used for design purposes (Adobe CS3). I'm looking at no less than a quad-core processor. Basically, I want to...

    Microsoft offers $50K for missing child

    I live in the city where this kid went missing a couple weeks ago. The kid was obsessed with Call of Duty 4 so much it was affecting his grades (he was in grade 9 at one of the local high schools). The parents decided to take his xbox away and because of that, he ran away from home. Now he's...

    Young Deezy, please change your Avatar

    Do I have a case here? 4 years of CAG membership and Fonzie avatar ownership. Even the quote above my avatar is Fonz related. There's only one Fonz and seniority has to win on this. I have no beef, grudge or hostility.....just stating the facts. Ehhhhh (two thumbs).

    Goozex help, am I right?

    Tell if I'm right here. I'm on Goozex and I have Persona 3 requested as a "Full Game". I get Persona 3 in the mail, but only the game, case and instructions. I do not receive the sleeve or the art book. The description of a "Full Game" on Goozex is "Disc, Game, Instructions and any other...

    Could Batman be the trilogy of our generation?

    I have been waiting forever to see the next great "Star Wars" type trilogy to hit our generation. By "Star Wars" type, I mean a trilogy where all the movies are fantastic, universally praised and accepted among the majority of the public. I really thought the Matrix would be that trilogy until...
