Even though it's a Pentium, it's still pretty hot I think. You might want to get a new cooler, especially if the default one makes a lot of noise, like my Prescott one. Got an Arctic Cooling one for 10 bucks and it's nice and quiet, and about 5 - 10C less warm. Anyway, 72C Max isn't alarming, just a...

I personally prefer to have a nice box and stuff like that. Just bought myself the japanese versions of FF4 and FF5, just for the sake of adding them to my collection, and now I can justify to myself that I have the roms :) 8$ for nothing more than 4mb of data is a tad too much imo. They are still s...

SIXAXIS is the name of the controller. Its SIXAXIS spelled backwords. And if you say it quickly 5 times after each other it starts to sound like sucksasses to me. Perhaps I can hold the controller in my hands today to see what it plays like. If there aren't 500 fanboys standing in the same line :P ...

Until Nintendo lowers the price of VC I will stick with my $30 dreamcast and my nesterdc. Seconded. I usually play games I own myself anyway, because emulation of NES games is mainly a nostalgic thing to do, and I'm not going to pay twice. Besides, will the Wii gives you NSF music on the background...

I found Yakuza in motion to look a lot better than on screenshots, however it definately shows the lack of texturing capabilities on the PS2. Also, I don't think Shenmue 2 can be put on the same level as Yakuza on PS2, because the first one has been released 2 or 3 years after the system's launch, Y...

Good point, playing Rez without rumble definately wouldn't make it as immersive as it should be. Perhaps the PS3 version will come with a vibrator of its own, USB?

With Wii it would be very nice as well, even though I'd love to see an HD Rez.

I find the realtime images of the final version look better than these prerendered ones btw, much more detail. I think I once saw that video, but I don't know where.

It's almost winter again, I should be picking up this game again. Shenmue 1 usually gets attention in Decem...

Baldr Force Exe: It's kick ass as it is, but I want to get to know more about the story, which seems to be of exceptional quality.

Sakura Taisen Series, no need to explain this one I think.

Seven Mansions: It has always sounded like a very interesting game to me.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but how about Alone in The Dark: The New Nightmare and Evil Dead: Hail To The King ? I hear the pre-rendered backgrounds are enough to drool over. Since when has prerendered stuff been an indicator on the rendering power of a system? My pc can display some...

The X1950pro will be released for AGP pretty soon which will be the best AGP card there is. nVidia can offer you the 7800GS for about the same price, which is also the card I have. Pretty good card, but with the 1950 coming up, I would wait a while.

I play NES games mostly for nostalgic reasons, I hardly find myself interested in the ones I haven't played 15 years ago. Somehow I always go back to Chip n' Dale 2, Rockin' Cats, Double Dragon Series, Mario, Tecmo Cup, and others that I own myself, or that my cousin owns. Having those within reach ...

360 and Gamecube. I have relatively small hands so the original Xbox controller I found uncomfortable, and the small one sucked even more because of the weird placing of the black and white buttons.

Awesome stuff. I would really LOVE to do a level for it. The engine seems a bit like the old BUILD one used in games such as Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Redneck Rampage and Blood. I?ve used that one for years and made quite some popular maps. If there?s place for someone doing a map (just for th...
