The Gamer's Quarter

Does anybody else think these last episodes show how weak a character Martha was? Nobody seems to particularly care what happens to her and she gets no emotional happy ending.

On the quote in the comments section of that entry, Catherine Tate told the story of not realising there were people in the sontaran suits on Jonathan Ross a couple of weeks ago. Her and Tennant were ...

While I enjoyed the demo I couldn't help feeling that the shooting bits got in the way of the creepy atmosphere / discovery storytelling. I also felt this way about prey. I don't really know how to co ...

Played it for a few minutes and I'm having real difficulty grasping the game. So far I'm actually pretty disappointed, but that might because I'm having such a hard time. Beat one stage and one boss w ...

Is this the one with Shaun Wright-Phillips and Ian Wright in the advert. If so then this is how I anticipate most of Europe will react: "what the hell, this isn't real football just silly nintendo".

I think it's plain irresponsible over here in the UK that citizens' defensive measures are so restricted.

You say that but then even in an ordinary board like this there is loads of stories coming ...

As someone who uses all three options my opinions are as follows:

Mac: for everyday stuff (internet browsing, chatting, emailing, movie watching, music listening etc.) the mac is aesthetically plea ...

Wouldn't the only option available to you be USB tuner/capture products?

That does appear to be it at the moment. I'm thinking it would probably be cheaper to find an old tv 2nd hand. The problem I ...

Hey - didn't seem like it was worth starting a new topic. Does anybody know any good way of running a console through an imac? I saw one of those eyetv products that would do it but it was expensive a ...

Wikipedia Ian Holloway and check out the quotes section if you want more insanity.

For all you football (soccer) fans out there let me introduce you to the post match genius that is Ian Holloway:

Well, if you are in England, most of them probably aren't coming out anyway, amirite? *rimshot*

Its sad because it's true. Importing games from the US (or more usually canada) is actually a lot che ...

Dear god, please don't do this to me. If I don't know they are out I can't spend money on them ;-(.

I was really starting to feel this way until the last couple of months. As I have just finished high school I have had an extra long summer holiday in which I have eaten into a sizeable chunk of my ba ...

Thanks

I just realised that I never picked up a copy of issue one and went to download but the link does not appear to be working. Is there anywhere I can obtain a copy? Thanks.

They are endorsed by footballers and the sort of musicians they listen to. Movie liscences also. They wouldn't have a clue what the wii was if you asked them now but they are sure as hell know when th ...

People don't buy Medal of Honor because it's EA, they buy it because they like Army games. They don't buy Need for Speed Underground because they see the obnoxious EA Medal on the box, they buy it bec ...

Mr Driller!

I did a cross/around-country roadtrip with a copy of FFTA, logged 80+ hours without beating it, and I haven't picked it up in the two years since to finish it off.

I did exactly the same during a h ...

Can someone explain the attraction of mmporgs? I have tried two or three and from what I have seen they all seem to be terrible games. The combat (and it seems everything else in the game) seems to be ...

I was tensed the whole time expecting a sudden screaming zombie head or something.

Whereas leaving it in Japanese totally kills comprehensibility for the majority of the audience who do not speak Japanese. I mean, if you do, that's great. For me and most, the Japanese-language track ...

So Sony's poor manufacturing practices actually made you feel better about your next purchase? I would say that your ps1 and ps2 should still be working, in which case BC would be a non issue (the sam ...

My PS2 is approaching its last days-- sometimes it doesn't immediately load a game and I need to load it from the menu-- and on rare occasions pop the disc out and reinsert it. So a PS3, given backwar ...
