The Gamer's Quarter

Uncharted 2 online beta. I originally felt this game shouldn't have online, that it would just be tacked on and kind of lame. But then I downloaded the beta. And two of my buddies and I have been pl ...

I'm interested in your thoughts on Batman: AA. My main gripe with the game was that there were too many empty areas. I loved the fighting mechanics and I loved the stealth mechanics but there were j ...

What make/model is your router?

Regarding your PS3 online problems... Have you tried putting the PS3 in your router's DMZ? If that isn't an option, I believe there are some standard ports that should be forwarded but I don't know t ...

I have an iPod Touch and tried playing some NES ROMs... worst decision ever. The touch screen controls were just way too loose for any semblance of coordination. It was just frustrating.

I have a ...

I know exactly how you feel. Fallout 3 recently consumed like 2 weeks of my life. I could hardly bring myself to do anything but continue playing. Personally, I loved every minute of it - even the ...

I always wanted to play FEAR. I liked the demo a whole lot. I have an affinity for solid FPS games that I can buy on the cheap. Maybe I'll look for a used PS3 copy sometime.

DON'T!
I love my PS3 ( ...

woah, that is terrible. i had no idea that getting a repaired console woudl be such a hassle.
and what do you mean by pitch? its so bad you would actually get rid of the console?

Agreed - I'm really hoping that is fixed in an upcoming patch.

At least it is more stable than the beta, whereby if someone joined the game while it was loading - it crashed for everyone.

As it ...

Have you tried R2 online yet? I am a huge fan of the coop mode - so long as you are placed with some decent people - and looking forward to (but haven't tried yet) the competitive 60 player games.
...

I just published my second level. It is called "The Evil Dead" and is based upon the Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell film (there are references to 1 and 2 throughout the level).

Hopefully if you search f ...

wow.

I don't mean extreme in a cheesy sense - but in a wow, this feels like a HD version of ExciteTruck that is slightly less zany (no insta-barrel rolls, for instance) but makes up for it with ample amoun ...

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is pretty much ExciteTruck extreme.

I'm kinda hooked.

Playing the beta, I became really frustrated with the different planes. I kept thinking that I could go further into the background/foreground and it didn't really seem intuitive to me.

However, t ...

Wow, that is impressive.

I played for about 4 hours last night? I only got through the first two worlds but I went back and "Aced" each level before moving on. Still far from 100% on each, but I ...

I actually started using PlayFire.com the other day... Which kind of does the same thing but is less "texty".

Is it conceivable to play Mother 3 without having played Earthbound or any other prior games in the series?

With school, I don't have tons of time but with all of the hype around Mother 3's transla ...

Wes - How did you manage to get an invite? I would LOVE to try it out but I can't seem to find the luck to get in yet.

On-topic: Wipeout HD is pretty fantastic.

Yeah, I felt the same way... But! If you know someone from the same region who purchased the expansions, you can share them with each other (see http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/611680#369 ...

Warhawk is actually really good! It's a 3rd person version of Battlefield apparently, but I never played that. There's a good mix of shooter skills and paper/rock/scissors gameplay. I've placed numb ...

Unfortunately, most classic mac games haven't been updated to work on MAC OS X Sad

I think he meant from your list of "recent Mac games" which, if they are recent, should work on OS X?

Top 5 songs at the moment:

The Vaselines - Son of a Gun
The Hood Internet - Tambourine Reckoning
The Slits - Instant Hit
The Creatures - Standing There
The Black Lips - O Katrina! / Veni Vidi V ...

Coop in Eden is offline only, unfortunately. Which pretty much means I will probably never get the 3-P trophy. Oh well.

Other than that - it is seriously a fantastic game.

Yeah - it is a fantastic feature. If Boxer finds any kind of disk image file in the game folder, it automatically assumes it needs to be mounted. This will work with iso files, bin/cues, and even fo ...

I have it running perfectly... on a Mac. Using Boxer (a GUI for DosBOX).

All you need to do is put all of the Dark Forces installation files in a directory (e.g. \Dark\) and also include a bin/cue ...

10/10.....?!

Link to the 1up video?

Although the PDF will allow for multiple answers, I cannot actually include them in the analysis. So, nope. Try to pick what you think is the most appropriate response?

yeah i definitely see the issue - but why the tracking codes?

edit: there are also some pdf issues - the box checking segment has some of them irregularly bolded, while some are straight. it may be ...

Ahhhh, you are right. Stupid MediaFire. Changed to Rapidshare (which seems to work).

And you are probably also right about an online version... but this is the first time I've ever had to do an ...

Hey TGQ!

As some of you may know, I am currently working on my thesis - the final project to complete my Honours in Psychology program at university. In this endeavor, I have to test pretty much a ...

Hey, so like, PixelJunk Monsters is a much better game than Racers is!

Is this actual endorsement? Because, from what I remember of the demo, Racers was pretty horrendous.

I am actually interes ...

Ah! Man, that's awesome. I was making fresh orange juice for a while there, but I realized I was burning through them too quickly. Fresh juice is delicious. Do you do it by hand ever, or is there a bl ...

As far as "gaming drinks" go, White Russians are fairly relaxing on that front. Although, they definitely don't improve ones game any (especially if you replace the traditional cream with Bailey's). ...

So, No More Heroes is pretty awesome.

After my infatuation with Burnout: Paradise subsides, that is what I'll be playing next. I'm looking forward to it.

But, oh my god. Burnout: Paradise is a ...

GOD I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS REARMED BUSINESS. SO EXCITED. ARRRRR.

My sentiments exactly. I am 50x more excited about Rearmed than the actual new game. It looks awesome. They've put up a FAQ o ...

beautiful work, simplicio!

Your serious? The bundle isn't coming on the 18th?

That is nonsensical. How can anyone play the game without the instruments? (I'm mainly referring to the PS3 version which doesn't work with the ...

Serious? It is a total rarity out here. My local EB said that, since launch, they have received less than 25 copies in TOTAL. Which is absurd.

I had previously checked, on a whim, 5 different st ...

Dude, Toronto! We should fight the Combine.

Good news and bad news. I'm looking over the "schedule" (compiled based upon my family's demands and Arlie's family's plans) and it looks like this visit ...

Damn, my PS2 can't do the blue backed discs anymore. So no Gradius V for me. Also, is my PC just not beefy or is Progear supposed to be that SLOW?

Did you try the scotch tape around the middle tr ...

So, word is that Rock Band will be patched soon to improve "guitar compatibility". It is unknown what this really, in essence, refers to but many people are hoping it means that the GH3 guitar will w ...

I want.

Yeah, that is one of the biggest downfalls of the game in my opinion as well. And each of the four are just as bad. I can't imagine how the voice acting for those villagers ever got approved.

Altair shouldn't have anti-religious beliefs if he's a member of the Hashashin.

I don't know if I would go to the lengths to say that Altair holds anti-religious beliefs. First off, you aren't rea ...

Alright, I didn't want to post here again til I had finished the game. So yeah, I have now finished the game (although I have only collected about half the flags or found about half of the hidden Tem ...

I've listened to Too Dark Park way too many times during my lifetime. But you are right, it is awesome.

I really should revisit Last Rites.

I cannot imagine I was the only one here to get excited about and pre-order Assassin's Creed. So, anyone else get hold of a copy yet? What are your thoughts?

I picked up my copy yesterday and pla ...
