So this game comes out today and there's no thread on it. IGN Review - 8.5 I'll be picking this up for some splitscreen goodness. For the few of you out there that do the splitscreen thing, this game has a tremendous advantage over other splitscreen games in that the whole screen is used...

N+ Dev Announces Top-down XBLA Racer 'Scrap Metal' I can has RC Pro-AM HD?

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/57530 Sounds strange to get excited about an EA sequel, but I really liked Army of Two, so I'm glad to see that this is happening. The aircraft carrier mission was epic, co-op (especially splitscreen) was excellent, and weapon customization was just icing...

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56441 Some really disappointing news here. I wouldn't touch console FPS games until I picked up Timesplitters 2 on clearance for $7. After that I was a huge fan of the series, its concept, and its co-op mode. I can only imagine that Haze sunk them just...

This time it's Rare's new Banjo Kazooie game. The amount of blunders here is so astounding it needs a numbered list: 1. This already happened with Dead Rising, how did a big developer like Rare not learn from Capcom's mistake? 2. The game isn't even out yet and they're basically dropping...

360 games are used, complete and in good condition. No gamestop stickers or any of that nastiness. PSOne games are used, complete and in fair condition. The cases have seen a good deal of wear, so these are not display pieces. HAVE :360: Dead Rising :360: NBA Street Homecourt :360...

I bought a set of $6 Wii component cables from Monoprice and I'm getting rolling lines and static whenever a plain black background is displayed on the screen. Other sources look great on my Samsung 40" LCD. Are there any deals out there for the official cables or ones that are higher quality?

Anyone here use the Nyko Bluwave remote? It's got a USB IR dongle and is useful for owners of universal IR remote controls. I'm having an issue with the IR dongle always being the first controller when the PS3 starts up. The IR dongle emulates a controller to the PS3, and that controller is...

Does anyone know of a retailer that still has some new-in-box 5th gens? I'm sick of the Classic and want to run Rockbox. Thanks.

http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?story=53168 Two new community-created maps will also be included. Does anyone know what they are? Epic did a great job with community map packs w/ the Unreal Tournament series so its good to see Valve doing the same. Most servers usually just run stock maps...

I find these to be tremendously useful in the deals forum. It's easy to scroll down the list and see what system or store the deal involves. The problem is that most thread starters don't use the icons, so we have to rely on them putting the appropriate information in the title in a...

Anyone got one of these things before? It's from the US Census Bureau. Supposedly it's a replacement for the census "long form" only this time it's 39 pages of really invasive questions. I'm far from the left-wing conspiracy theorist type, but I really don't like this due to the time involved...

I never owned an original Xbox so I want to hear some opinions on what issues if any were preset on the original Xbox compared to the 360. Common sense would tell you that a the first venture of any company into a new market is going to have teething problems. But I never remember hearing...

I'm currently using TVersity to stream mp3s to my 360 and PS3. The problem I have with TVersity is that it doesn't use the "album artist" tag when listing mp3s. This can be done with the custom menu feature, but it is extremely cryptic to set up and very error-prone. WMP11 uses the "album...

Been living in the same apartment for 4 years now. The carpet is mega-cheap and I don't believe it was designed to be used as long as it has. There's a high turnover rate here and I frequently see a van with carpet hanging out the back shortly after the moving trucks leave. Anyways, my...

This situation has been getting worse as all 3 current consoles have added new system features. The bottom line is that features won't get used unless they are mandatory. Here are some examples: 1. Wii custom soundtracks via SD card - So far I only know of two games that use this feature -...

Looking for new copies of GRAW, GRAW 2, and Rainbow Six Vegas for less than $20. Thanks!

There was a thread about this in the deals forum from a couple months ago, but I didn't want to bump it because the deal is over. On top of that the thread got merged into a general Xbox thread so it's pretty much worthless ATM. Anyways, back in January you could buy an Xbox 360 at FYE and...

What big chain stores are we missing down here? I'm always frustrated to see good deals at these places: Fry's Microcenter Gamecrazy I think Georgia may have Fry's now but we definitely don't have them in NC. :cry:

Capital Blvd location across from the Triangle Town Center mall. They're on a rack near the front of the store. I saw at least 10 copies left.
