The Gamer's Quarter

It's a newer trend to encourage early sales and, more importantly, new sales, since the dlc will be attached to a console/computer.

gears 2 is doing this as well.

I received Quake this morning in the mail, but Vista won't even let me run the Setup file. Sad

Any ideas? I actually want to hear the score while I'm playing, and Steam doesn't do that.

Run the S ...

You down with OLPC? Yeah you know me!

While I've been home on vacation, I've rifled through my old games and magazines and such, and I have a decent number of CGW Extra CD-ROMs from about 94-99 with a few PC Gamer and PC Magazine demo dis ...

sorry i haven't been around much lately. maybe i'll catch you online!

hugs all around,

i'm starting to be sorry that i defended the game earlier. unless these trailers are really misleading, this is starting to become a game i'd be embarrassed to be caught playing between the non-sexual ...

that really is the best show on wfmu (and i love wfmu)

maybe this is only the first area and then chris goes to vietnam or the middle east. then a native american reservation.

have we had a thread about racism and imperialism in tom clancy games yet?

I wish it talked more about the eco-system part of the game. Is it dynamic? Why did they not mention the DX10 mode at all even though their test system was well capable of running it?

Still plenty ...

In the second MGS card game for the PSP, the unlockables include videos of women in bikinis near pools, walking out of outdoor showers, loading guns, looking at knives, and doing things that are borde ...

I'm replaying System Shock in anticipation of Bioshock. The control scheme still bothers me a bit but the tension is ratcheted right up. I love the artistic direction. It's ugly in terms of the techno ...

I'm going to be completely reductionist here, and just point out that the Metal Gear Solid games aren't really all that much fun to play, so I'm not excited about this title.

You don't even like th ...

MGS4 by all accounts is Kojima throwing his hands in the air and saying, "All right, here's your sequel—the last one this time." I really hope Snake dies, just because it would seem like a real cop-ou ...

were you as grossed out by the porn rag as i was?

the game looks really boring. there's nothing in the demo video that looks particularly different from metal gear solid 3. the graphics certainly d ...

does xna allow more hardware access than, say, a ps3 running linux (no 3d drivers Crying or Very sad

)

i'm still not all that comfortable with a precedent of for-pay homebrew development.

There's something really chatotic about the combat we've seen. There's a lot of frantic running around, sometimes just to buy time while injecting more EVE and thinking of an effective room-clearing s ...

getting your leg caught in a bear trap is a better decision than anything involving doom 3.

Yeah see I got that blindly in the middle of what was to be a 5 year gaming hiatus. If anything, it exten ...

I pre-ordered the limited edition today at an EB Games. After I handed over my five dollar reservation fee, I was handed a DEFCON demo disc that somehow relieved a lot of the sting of pre-ordering som ...

Try using DOSbox to run it unpatched.

i'm talking about the medium having grown to have its own real magnum opuses (opi?) and have twist endings and history and such.

anyhow, maybe by then the medium will have grown to have ...

psst:

made my day; thanks.

is Everyday Shooter going to be a PSN exclusive? I'm, uh, starting to feel the PS3.

What kind of crazy upscaling is going on here? This looks pretty damn good for a 15(?)-year-old Mac game.

There were community projects centered around the bungie-sponsored Aleph One open-source pr ...

I'm playing God Hand as part of BS' Motherfucking God Hand Week.

I'd argue the first two games were about both! Also, Doom 3's atmosphere ran pretty thin pretty quickly. They kept throwing the same tricks at you and it became predictable.

That's the worst thing ...

Doom 3's level design was about atmosphere whereas Doom 1 & 2's level design was about playability.

Oh, man, the movie links are down on the fallout 2 archive. I was at the release party, which is where I got the official shirt + signatures + vault boy drawing. Kinda wish I could see the vids... may ...

The pace was off. Cutscenes and logs and long empty passages and the flashlight kept it from being Doom-y to me. I haven't played the game since it came out but I don't recall the long, relentless fir ...

Oh well, I'm still here to draw stuff, I guess. Actually, screw that; maybe I'll just quit the internets.

oh, don't be like that.

no do it

yeah i didn't really feel one way or the other since everyone knows the score now (start up on americana, pull back to reveal DEVESTATION)

I remember a lot of folks being upset. I thought the writing for Gears of War was perfectly appropriate for it.

That's why I'm reserving judgment: whatever complaints I have about the Gears writin ...

I've been watching more Bioshock videos. A 7-minute gameplay vid recently went up that shows a string of unrelated action segments. It's really just the player carelessly attacking enemies with godm ...

Sandra O'Connor, the writer for Gears of War, is writing the script for Bioshock as well according to her [url=http://www.susanoconnorwriter.com/]site. I don't know what to think of this.

As for the morality-in-a-narrative aspect of gameplay, Haze may be able to do something interesting with it when it comes out. It's an FPS in which you make yourself a better player by periodically i ...

Is the response time fast enough for if you had something like a 360 hooked-up through VGA? The listed 16 ms time makes me a little leery.

16ms is the worst case scenario, which would result in one ...

I am trying to sell a 2005FPW 20.1" S-IPS widescreen LCD. It shares a panel with the Apple Cinema Display. Very nice. $200 + shipping. I can link you to my 102 positive ebay feedback. Has DVI, VGA, S- ...

When the producers at some point have mentioned the word "ecology" as something they are addressing in the gameplay mechanics, I expect a certain amount of that to show through in what they present.

Based on the pedigree, I'm just expecting them to do an FPS that is good. None of this RPG hybrid crap. It's looking alright at the moment, but this video is definitely steeped in the shoot-everything ...

so is this just a game about shooting people?

aren't there plenty of those already?

i'll agree that that's the impression the trailers are giving but based on the pedigree and interviews i'm wil ...

Hell, I kind want to fire up the PC version now and enjoy a few minutes of nostalgia.

That's about all it's good for due to the simple level geometry, but I always have and still do find the atmosp ...

I absolutely must have mouselook. I sort of find the perspective warping that comes with trying to look up or down endearing, too. To each her or his own, though, of course!

Daggerfall was the last Elder Scrolls game that I played. I really enjoyed it even though I never got far on the main quest.

Anyone else tried it yet?

DooMPSP-0.5

I added a much better MIDI patchset to it. I can upload it to megaupload or something. Just unzip in your game150 dir on your OE firmware and add wads and you're good to go.

This is ...

It's much easier to pirate Vista, which will also play nicer with your SATA hardware (and dual-booting). The performance gaps are shrinking anyway and you'll probably want DX10 for Bioshock and stuff ...

All this talk of DooM on portables convinced me to install DooM on my PSP. It's a great port and I love the controls. I'm in the process of updating the MIDI patches that come with it.
