The Gamer's Quarter

Does anyone know any more about this game. What immediately grabbed my attention are the stylistic and unbelievably beautiful visuals, but I was wondering if anyone had any more info about it than wh ...

The Cube has a little more life in it just yet, and it's a great deal. I'm looking forward to:

Chibi Robo
Odama
Harvest Moon: Magical Melody
Zelda: Twilight Princess

And if the gods smile up ...

I'm glad you're enjoying it again!

Without spoiling anything, you have to keep in mind that the story is of Severian narrating the events of his past, so when he writes down the transcript of the p ...

Some kind of sock-like (or even contraceptive-like) "skin" you slip over your Rev "pad" to enhance it?

The mind boggles!

I missed all of these games the first time around and they look like fun (Google Video is a wondermous thing for seeing gameplay). I'll be picking up a copy.

Someone should try playing Silent Hill 2 with the combat turned off, then try playing it with the puzzles turned off and report back which was a more compelling experience.

Now this is interesting ...

Use the controller as a watering can! Plow your own fields with one simple motion. Holy crap, my wife is going to die when I tell her about this.

I had this weird daydream where Nintendo licensed ...

What about games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing (as two quick examples)? I don't know sales figures (worldwide or domestic), but it seems that there is a market for these non-combat types. Bo ...

I've been craving these types of adventures lately, ones that harken back to the original King's Quest series, where the emphasis was on exploration, discovery, figuring out puzzles, etc. Why kill th ...

I wore out a bic lighter giving that video the love it deserved. Cool

Major jealousy from those of us who are limited to scrounging through EB and GameStop for older gems. If there are any backroom gin joint-type places around me, I don't know about them. Sad

What makes Severian interesting for me is that as an unreliable narrator, we are subject to all the flaws and foibles of his ability to communicate to us his journey. He seems, in the text, of presen ...

Just came from there. As a new poster, I didn't think it polite to start tossing out itemized list of my bookshelf, although the OCD part of me brain felt awfully compelled.

Thanks for the welcome ...

A book fetish thread! How'd I miss this one?

I'm currently shifting between reading Soldier in the Mist by Gene Wolfe (I'm a huge Wolfe fan...anyone else?) and Scott Bakker's The Darkness That Co ...

I could be setting myself up for disappointment (though I doubt it), but everything I've read about the game is exactly what I want to do with a game. Unconcerned about levelling up and item collecti ...

Out of budget - but I used some Christmas cash to pick up a PS2 and a copy of Ico and DQ8. When I finish Ico I'll move on to Shadow of the Colossus, and you do. not. know. the patience it is taking t ...

The clearest praise you can get is from your peers, and Miyamoto is universally admired in his industry. Admittedly, that can be an insulated group, but it speaks volumes with regards to how many dev ...

Cool. Thanks for the advice! I think based on your advice and on the info I've seen, I'm going to go with the 20 inch Intel iMac with an extra 512MB SDRAM and 256MB VRAM rather than the base 128.

It isn't right that I just now run across a site like this, filled with people who care not just about games but the story and what games have meant to them. I'm glad it wasn't a day longer.

I ran ...
