    those few of you who ever played the virtual boy

    Fact: Virtual Boy causes permanent blindness in 101% of users. While I found it annoying to use and it hurt my eyes after an hour or so, I never got a headache from the console. But I still hated it because I'm used to playing games for hours on end (especially as a kid), not be forced to...

    Grand Theft Auto IV dated for April 29

    I hope so. The fake songs and hilarious commercials from GTA III were my favorite. Bring back Bongo and PetsOvernight.com, dammit!

    LOL... This game drops on my wedding anniversary. Shit.

    F Xbox

    Man up, pay the $15, and learn to make a few phone calls when you deactivate/cancel a credit card.

    Xbox 360 Downtime

    Pyscho, could you PM me a link to that thread? I would like to take a look at it because I've been wondering how Falcons have been holding up thus far. I can't seem to find much information, anecdotal or otherwise, anywhere.

    360 or PS3?

    No, my point was that there's a good chance that in 3-6 months, both of those communities will have dried up a great deal. The smaller the player pool, the harder it will be to find a good game as the title ages. BTW, I also like TF2 better than Halo 3. TF2 cracks me up.

    360 or PS3?

    When combined, the userbase for UT3+Warhawk is about 15% of Halo 3 by itself.

    Sandbox Games - My Weakness

    For some reason, grabbing a sedan full of people and heaving it into the ocean never gets old.

    Sandbox Games - My Weakness

    I once had the privilege of watching Defective play Bully for two hours... And saw him accomplish absolutely nothing. Seriously, the guy dicks around in sandbox games more than anyone I have ever seen (and I'm pretty bad, too). In two hours, I think he knocked out about 20 prefects, pulled 30...

    Microsoft to consider Blu-Ray after HDDVD failure

    A Microsoft exec said the same thing months ago. It's not news that MS is decidedly noncommittal about the new HD formats.

    No, Microsoft uses black voodoo magic wireless technology.

    my 360 is on its way!

    In the used section, you can pick up Oblivion, Dead Rising (get.this.game.), Condemned, Viva Pinata, and Crackdown. That will keep you busy for quite some time. If you want to step up to the $50+ games, I recommend Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, BioShock, Halo 3, and Gears of...

    Help choosing next 360 game

    Pick up Crackdown and Condemned on the cheap. They're both worth it. Neither one is great but both are solid and can be picked up for less than $20 used.

    PS3 does not upscale games???

    The only time this is a real problem is if you have a 1080i-only television. Then it becomes a real pain in the ass.

    Gran Turismo (5, Vision, HD, Whatever)

    It's still unknown if it will run in true 1080p or not. Prologue doesn't. It's 1280x1080. They also just announced that it will have weather effects, night/day races, and damage. With those announcements, I'll be shocked if it releases before 2009. It might get a holiday 2008 for Japan but...
