This kind of stuff really chaps my arse. I hope that MS hasnt unloaded a ticking time bomb on us all. Anyway I was wondering how many of youhad this problem with the console positioned VERTICAL? I have never run my 360 (launch unit) or my PS2 (also launch unit!) in the vertical position and...

First off let me say that you guys are by far the best thing out there in videogames news and reviews. The others bore but you freaks score and I am a fan for life. Actually I was impressed you even answered my question last week so heres one more.. I would like to know if Cheapy or Wombat have...

Go to "maximumpc.com" and simply look up the best motherboard that the say is out right now. The last time I looked, there was an Asus mobo that isnt terribly expensive that they say Kicks Ass. This magazine is without a doubt the best source for getting the scoop on the best. Now the processor...

I just had a backflash to a system Sony marketed only in Japan and that it failed miserably. I dont recall the name of this system but like the PS3, it touted itself as a total entertainment system and as an afterthought also played PS2 games. The price was so high that not even japanese gamers...

Wow! Just look all the hot and heavy debating going on over such a simple matter as respecting your own country. Do any of you really feel that the US is out to take over the world? Cmon you all live here and you know that no other place on earth sucks less than our USA. Give yourselves our...

All I have to say about the Saturn is that I think it represents the pinnacle of 2D gaming. Sega made the system to attract the 2D stuff which it truely excells at. There are alot of japanese import shooters for the system and the saturn itself can quite easily play imports with the addition...

Hauled abunch of titles up to the register and most of the 4.99 titles were actually 9.99 at my BB. So be careful.

Its pretty simple. The Hard Drive is for the Hard Core And the Core is for Johnnys Christmas present. When Johnny becomes Hard Core, Johnny can buy the Hard Core Drive! Thats about it. However I think any wired controllers are completely outdated for any next gen system.

Then name the game

Actually the classic side scrolling Mario games you refer to havent seen a new release since SNES.

I know that they are including backward compatability on some titltes but that still is not the same as Sonys way. Just wait and see and Ill bet that no more than about 20% of titles will run Dont forget that microsoft switched graphics vendors so the royalties will have to be paid to Nvidia for...

The big winner in all this is Pepsi. Because without true bacward compatability Microsoft not only has lost to Sony and Nintendo, but they are going to have to give their systems away like this for anyont to want one. Its too expensive and not all gamers play Halo.

$500? Try about $700 or more once the stupid consumer buys into a presell bundle. Unfortunatley history is repeating itself as the Sega Dreamcast proved. My biggest deal killer was the way microsoft just abandoned the first Xbox by leaving out true backward compatability. Not only is the short...

Just buy a DS and play the GBA classics on it.

I have found the DS to be in my bag at all times, and the PSP to be at home depleting its tiny battery all by itself. And I have to say that the screen makes no difference in that decision. It all came down to the games which are better for the DS and the fact that I am not willing to pay...
