Woo the vidya. I was an early-adapter early-burnt Dreamcast owner - VF3TB was good, until my arcade stick broke Have a PS2 but never got into it - friends gushed over the likes of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus - but will probably trade it for a 360 at gametraders, play, EB or wherever. That Beatles Rockband trailer blew my socks.
I like this guy - http://pineight.com/ - heās written a pretty good Tetrisā¢ clone. Also good for keeping tabs on the homebrew scene. Hereās an OS X GBA emu for the mac heads, and one for the Windows people.
I also dig the work of Jon Mak at Queasy Games. Saw everyday Shooter at ACMI recently, you can get it on Steam and the Playstation Network. If anyone wants a head-to-head (no not that Spud!) of Gate 88 then PM me ā¦
I have no idea? 1980ās?? Iām into collecting vintage stuff that stores on Smith St sell for stupid amounts of money. At the moment iām all about vintage coffee makers. My current high score could be equal to that of the worlds lowest score.
My housemate just set up the NES today. Should be fun.
My girl and I picked up a mint NES from a garage sale for $15. It included Mario 1, 2 & 3, Duckhunt and more games, plus two controllers and the gun (sadly no Power Glove). My girlfriends nieces love it, which is hilarious, because theyāre 7 and 10.
iāve got a 360, ebay seems the cheapest place to get them, some good bundles.
i mainly only play halo online, my tag is R3D RACKHAM, but iāve got no monitor at the moment, so havenāt renewed my online subscription yet.
Microsoft actually offer a 3 year warranty on the Red Ring of Death problem so worth contacting them. Mine is about a year and a half old so initially I was thinking I was screwed but it is getting fixed by them for free now. Apparently the issue is pretty widespread.
a friend who works at eb games was telling after i got mine and set it up, that you should set it up laying down and not standing up (this can help stop the ring of death apparently too). apparently they arent actually design mechanically design to be upright even though they give it a healthy push for you have it like that.
I get that this is only the marketing version of the system but if it comes only halfway to what they show in the clip it will be pretty amazing. I would drop the coin on something like this which is saying something since the last gaming platform I was into was the Amiga 500. Which consequently I had going again last summer at my parents houseā¦ ah, good times!
