    8 Best Selling Games For The Xbox 360

    I know we're relying purely on sales figures here to make a 'top whatever' list... But what a garbage list it is. Could we have not done a 'only one entry from a series' clause on this one? Maybe give a few other titles some time in the spotlight that weren't another mindless shooter?

    [back to gaming] What are you playing now?

    Mostly I've been browsing through my Steam catalog, trying to dust off a few older titles, or get around to the ones that I haven't had time for lately. Finished The Walking Dead (Seasons 1 and 2), played back-to-back to see how my decisions in the first season affected the second. The...

    Advance Wars, an incredible game, looking for equivalent games to play

    *whistle* Tricky to find something like that, and I have tried as well. Dual Strike was my favorite by far. Been looking at the responses above me, and they've already nailed down the two that I'd recommend. Check out XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within for head-scratching turn-based...

    Game of Thrones Season 5 "Nude Scene" Shooting Snag Resolved

    Took me a bit to recall *which* "Nude scene" this was. Yeaaaah, that's kind of a big one. I suppose it's only natural that they'll have a LOT of focus on [SPOILER]'s naked butt while [THAT PERSON] is [NOPE] through the middle of [NUH UH] for all to see. Especially after the situation with...

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Leaked, Releases November 4 - Update

    Honestly? The fact that it's "just another Call of Duty" turned me off from the idea from the very beginning, but... This is oddly compelling. I'd expect this from some political-military movie of some kind - with Kevin Spacey, even! For once, a shooter has me interested in its story, of...

    Suggest a Youtube Channel that Deserves more recognition

    Easy. JonnyAtma, creator of "GaMetal". http://www.youtube.com/user/JonnyAtma Originally went under the name of "TheJonnyDeath", Jonny has returned from a long hiatus in the past year. He specializes in metal-izing classic game music - which are amazing and I keep on my personal...

    An idea i have for renewable power, do you guys think its possible?

    Indeed, you're referring to Geothermal power. Here's the thing that gets me about this form of energy if you're tapping it for heat. The heat of the earth is available at ANY time, 24/7, and can be tapped from pretty much ANYWHERE on the surface geographically - underwater or not. The way...

    Why the XBone is a good console

    I look at it all this way. Fact: I am a gamer who wishes to crash on the couch after a long day, drink in hand, with the intent of booting up [Game Whatever] on my [8th-Gen Console]. I wish to do these things, maybe not in precise order, with as little interruption as possible. Note that I...

    Microsoft Exec: Offline Gamers Should Stick With Xbox 360

    *blinks* *watches that interview clip again* Man, man. If you just want to say "I don't bloody know!" just come out and say it. At least then we'd understand why you're saying all this.

    Poll: Favorite Pokemon Gen/game/team/monster?

    I really enjoyed the remake of Gold/Silver in Gen IV - that was the game that kinda got me back into things. Black and White were also interesting, but I found it hard to kinda get into the new species they had floating around in the tall grass. They just don't seem to have the same amount of...

    Anyone ever had broken consoles?

    Skyrim killed my first XBOX360. I had just finished building a classy orc warrior by the name of "Barachus", because hey, he looked just like the guy. Bam, redring. One of those codes that basically proclaimed "Yeah, even we can't fix this one. Har har. Love, M$." Weirdly enough, the...

    The first videogame you ever played

    Oh wow. I'm really fuzzy on it, as I'm guessing I would have been...maybe 2 or 3? My grandmother and grandfather bought themselves a NES for their cabin when they were still together - I'm pretty sure the very first one I played was the original Super Mario Bros....or the original Duck Hunt...

    Recommend me some heavy metal :)

    Some of my humble suggestions. These ones are kinda mainstream, I admit - but might not be a bad place to start if you're new to the genre: they were the ones that my friends told me to listen to all those years ago. I've never regretted listening to a single one of them.

    New Man of Steel trailer

    Truth? ...meh. Gambit has the right of it in that I'm also quite bored of the reboots, a few notable exceptions aside (Dark Knight trilogy, yeeeeee). Superman has never been my favourite hero - and I *tried* to be excited about this trailer. But...no. Not particularly interested. I'll...
