  1. My computer is a piece of junk. At one point, it had unplayable lag on CAVE STORY! So, that's a no. I wish I could. Maybe if there is ever a console port...
  2. You can download it from Steam for free, but it's also browser based. Google it.And the computer spec requirements are VERY low, because the graphics are 16-bit retro.
  3. Yeah, me too. I have only unlocked the 5 starters. I'm working on capping my priest, then warrior, then knight, so I can unlock the palidin.
  4. My friend recently showed me an MMORPG known as Realm of the Mad God. It's rather simple in gameplay, but there are many character classes. The thing that makes this MMO unique is that death is permanent. You lose your character and entire inventory if you die. Anyway, I would appreciate it if others could check this game out. If I raised the "fame," the game's currency, to 1000, we could even start a guild.
  5. I thought it was a gun, too.Anyway, this update might get me back into Runescape. Proabably not, but maybe. Someone PM me how it's like after the release.
  6. Nope. I didn't celebrate anything on the 17th of May. Norway looks very pretty, by the way. I'm almost jealous.
  7. Yeah, I've heard of the game. I don't watch South Park, though. My parents hate that show.
  8. Just failed a retake of a math test. ON CIRCLES. There goes all video games for the rest of the school year...

      There can only be, what, 3 weeks of school left?

      I walked into my first college math class thinking that I'd ace it ala High School and damn near failed it. I could tell you my following inspirational success story but I don't have one yet.

  9. Journey: A game kind of like TeamIco's titles, it's an artistic platformer about a man's journey through the desert.inFamous: Festival of Blood: A non-canon side story about Cole having to kill Bloody Mary to cure his vampirism.Limbo: A 2d artictic yet dark and disturbing platformer about a boy trying to save his sister.Flower: Made by the same people as Journey, it's a relaxing title where you play as a flower petal and try to collect other petals. I've played the demo, and it's more fun than it sounds.Trine 2: A 2d puzzle platformer that has you switching between a thief for platforming, a knight for combat, and a wizard for puzzles.Castle Crashers: A four player arcade style beat-em up. It's the most popular XBLA game, so the Ps3 owners were glad to see it ported.
  10. Rather informative and interesting. I visited Epcot at Disney World recently, and Norway was my favorite attraction. I've wanted to learn more about it.
  11. I recieved a $20 PSN card for my birthday from a friend. Which game should I buy?JourneyinFamous: Festival of BloodLimboFlowerTrine 2Castle Crashers
  12. While IGN and Gamespot are usually the go-to Youtube channels for videogame reviews, there is another source I get my reviews from. That source is Classic Game Room. They don't give a score to the reviews, instead just telling you how good they thought the game was.There are several channels representing CGR, and two of them write reviews. Well, three, but two of them (Undertow and Overboard) merged.Classic Game Room features one guy. He tends to review games more lightheartedly and has a great sense of humor. However, he is absolutely terrible at gaming. It was almost painful to watch his review of Dragon Age: Origins. His reviews are very entertaining, and I find myself watching reviews of games I don't even plan on buying, just to hear his jokes. He reviews both retro games and modern games.CGR Undertow features several people. Their reviews tend to be a bit more serious. While some of them can be funny, they can't match the main guy's humor. However, they make many more reviews. If you look up almost any game, you can bet that CGR Undertow has reviewed it. They usually review modern games, but sometimes go back to the Ps2, Xbox, and Gamecube era. Personally, while I prefer Classic Game Room, I am more than happy to watch a CGR Undertow review if that's all that's available.Which do you guys prefer? Here are their channels:Classic Game Room: http://www.youtube.c...r/inecomcompanyCGR Undertow: http://www.youtube.c...ser/cgrundertow
  13. Informative, but I was hoping for another funny search thing again.
  14. Sorry, Trag. I just wanted a quick answer. I'll try not to do it again.
  15. You'd be disappointed in me, Trag. I traded in UC 2 towards...Final Fantasy XIII.
  16. I was checking the PS Store, and it got a price drop, so all UC 2 DLC is free. This bums me out, because I traded in the game only a couple months ago, not thinking I would get the DLC. As a trophy hunter who would have loved those trophies, I feel like banging my head against the wall.
  17. So, the new bulb I got for the projector was too dim, so I sent it back. I decided to move the ps3 to a smaller tv so I could still use it. When I moved it, I found out I lost the AV cable, and only had the HDMI cable for the projector, so I moved it back. This whole time, my copy of Demon's Souls was inside. Could it be damaged or scratched from the moving?

  19. Heh heh heh...you all knew this would come along at some point. I realise nearly everyone on this site and their brother has played this game. I just thought I would share why it is my third favorite game off all time. With its large world, decent story, and huge amount of content and freedom, you cannot miss this title. Judging by the site you are on, you probably haven't. Gameplay: Allow me to start by saying that this is what the sandbox style is all about. The world is moderately large, probably taking a half an hour to walk from one end to the other. Of course, once you visit an area, you can fast travel there any time, so don't worry about tediousness. There are hundreds of different quests you can access, and you will find yourself recieving new quests faster than you can complete them. Don't even worry about running out; this game randomly generates quests. Yes, you read that correctly. IT ENDLESSLY GIVES YOU QUESTS. This means the game has nearly unlimited replay value. You may have noticed I haven't talked about the combat. That's because there isn't much to it. You hit a creature with your sword, and it does damage. There isn't a complex math system involved, and there isn't a wide variety of sword attacks. While this is a very simple combat system, it fits with the open world feel well, as it allows for seamless transitions between combat and exploring. Art Style: The land of Skyrim is in the north, so it makes sense that the enviornments are similar to what you would find in Canada or Scandinavia. In the northern area of the map, you have tundra and arctic areas. In the south, you have forests. While the game goes for a realistic approach, I cannot deny that the game can look very beautiful at times. Story: You are about to be executed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, when a dragon attacks. You escape, and alert the countryside about the dragon attack. The Jarl, a sort of mayor, of the nearby city of Whiterun pairs you up with some soldiers to investigate another dragon attack site. When you get there and kill the dragon, you absorb its soul, and you realise that you are the Dragonborn. You are called by a group called the Greybeards, and they take you in and tell you of your destiny: To defeat Alduin, the World-Eater. On top of this, there is a civil war taking place in Skyrim that is sure to get in your way. Can the chosen one overcome all odds and save the world once and for all? Lasting Appeal: This game has a huge amout of content. When I finished the main story, I went and participated in the civil war. After that, I finished every guild quest. After that, I collected all of the Daedric Artifacts. Even then, there was still more stuff to do, and that isn't even counting the randomly generated quests. If you run out of quests, just explore. You'll find something worth doing. You will get tired of the game before you do everything, though. It doesn't stay fresh forever. Gameplay: 9/10 This game has one strength, and that is its open world structure. However, it's done so well that to give anything less than a 9 would be insulting. The first time you play the game, your mind will be racing with the possibilities. Art Style: 8/10 It's nice, but it's nothing we haven't seen before. Unlike games like Dragon Age: Origins, the game's atmosphere isn't very dark, and therefore doesn't need a realistic approach. Some of the enviornments can be very pretty, though. Expect to look around a lot when wandering from place to place. Story: 7/10 The story is okay and will keep you playing, but it's nothing special. Considering this is an RPG, a deep story should be taken for granted, and this game just barely delivers in that department. Lasting Appeal: 9.5/10 Where do I start? There is so much content in this game that can keep you entertained for a long time. With the endlessly generating quests, the content is limitless. You can make choices, which warrents other playthroughs. The only thing holding this back is the combat. I like the combat, and it fits with the game, but it can get repetitive after a while. With combat being the bread and butter of video games as a whole, this is what will get you to move on to another game. Overall: 9/10 You may have noticed that my top three favorite games all have the same review score. That's because they are so close in quality. This is my third favorite title of all time. If you have even ounce of RPG blood in you, you will probably love this title, and should buy it. Oh, what am I saying? You probably already have.
  20. Sly 3: Sure, when I write the review for the previous 2 games. I plan to post a Thievius Racoonus review in the near future.Portal 2: I haven't played this in some time, but it was a thrilling ride. I'll have to play it again to refresh my memory.Littlebigplanet: Hmm...an interesting suggestion. That will be tricky to review, because its strength is in its user generated content. I'll think about it.
  21. Skyrim-I liked the game, but 99% of people on this site have played it to death, and know what the game is like. I'll consider it, though.Dragon Age 2-With my recent Origins review, this would be a logical choice. I'm worried about your reaction when it gets a moderately positive review, though.Black Ops-I didn't really dig into the multiplayer that much, and I'm not a fan of shooters, but I'll consider reviewing the single player portion. It might be a good experience to leave my comfort zone for a bit.Uncharted series-Good choice. I enjoyed this series a lot, which suprised me a bit, considering my tastes in games. I'll definitely review these in the future.Infamous 2-I am a bit confused at myself why I haven't reviewed this already, with my Infamous review being posted ages ago. Expect to see this review soon.
  22. So, as many of you know, I write video game reviews on my blog. I review the games that I have a Ps3 platinum trophy in, because that means I've spent enough time with the game to give an educated opinion. I can't figure out what to review next. Any help?Smackdown vs Raw 2010Fist of the North Star: Ken's RageinFamous 2Uncharted: Drake's FortuneUncharted 2: Among ThievesCall of Duty: Black OpsSly Cooper and the Thievius RaccoonusSly 2: Band of ThievesSly 3: Honor Among ThievesDragon Age 2Portal 2Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in TimeElder Scrolls V: SkyrimLittlebigplanet
  23. Heh heh, I just saw the forth result.
