    What game series(s?) should make a comeback?

    The Discworld games, or even re release them on XBL, Discworld Noir was an original, funny and challenging game that I'd love to see redone.

    Artificial Black Hole Created In Chinese Lab

    Again this is a case of journalism misrepresenting science (sorry i'm a 4th year physics student, kinda bugs me). Essentially it's quite simple to understand. When light passes through something like water, it get's refracted hence when you try to grab something from under the water while you're...

    Batman Arkham Challenge Maps: What's Needed?

    Scarecrow challenge maps sound like a good idea definitely something I'd add

    Batman Arkham Challenge Maps: What's Needed?

    As much as I love the new Batman Arkham game I feel that the challenge rooms could perhaps be improved a bit more. Here are a few of my suggestions: 1) Have an unlimited round mode where each round gets progressively harder with more and more enemies. So instead of having four rounds you...

    Games you finish again fast?

    Spyro 2 Gateway to Glimmer fully completed in about 5 hours, all gems and stuff like that. I just think it's a brilliant game and something that's sorely missing on the 360 (good platform games I mean, although I suppose a lot of them are being released on XBLA now)

    What is your favourite Sci-Fi universe and why?

    Mine has to be the Commonwealth Universe of Peter F. Hamilton's Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. Humans are still humans and have all the problems associated with that except the technology is superb and realistic at the same time. I'd also say his Night's dawn universe for your more space...

    Piercings

    In my opinion i think you should take someone as who they are not what they look like, so what if someone has a face full of metal, wat difference does it make to them as a person, same goes for tattoos, i think it's stupid that women should be allowed ear piercings in jobs but men are told to...

    Does anyone remember the original Crash Bandicoots?

    I just wish that they'd release them onto Xbox Live Arcade, especially CTR, would be greta to play that multiplayer!

    Xbox Wii-Sixty?

    I read recently that there was some form of motion capture technology similar to the pile of rubbish that was "You're in the Movies" except that this worked in 3 dimensions as opposed to just two. Maybe this is the sort of thing they could be working on? Stereoscopic video capture.....sounds...

    SSD Hard Drives

    Wow, all though apparently they're not that good for smaller files sizes according to wiki : "Slower write speeds: As erase blocks on flash-based SSDs generally are quite large (e.g. 0.5 - 1 megabyte)[20], they are far slower than conventional disks during small writes (the smaller, the...

    Poll: Rock band or Guitar Hero?

    Guitar Hero 2 was a brilliant game then they released the tripe that was Guitar hero 3. Rock band has a greater catalogue of songs available to download. Don't get me wrong i think both games are good but I far prefer Rock band. But both were stupidly priced in the UK anyway so both fail there.

    Ultimate computer pranks

    Do a screen capture of the desktop, save it and then set it as the background. Minimise the toolbar at the bottom and put all the shortcuts into a folder. Wait for hilarity to occur as they try to work out why the computer is broken.

    Worst sound to hear in a game?

    The SMG's from Halo 2. Sounds like someone rattling some rusty nails inside a tin can when they're fired.

    Games deserving a remake or sequel

    Definitely Psychonauts 2, the first was one of the best, funniest, and most bizarre games I've ever played.
