    Poll: IPad or 3DS?

    Depends what you're looking for. If you travel at all, iPad's fantastic. It's not as bulky as a laptop or even a netbook, it does games, it has a far better browser, you can also stick music and videos on it. Its virtual keyboard is even big and well laid out enough that you can touch type on...

    Zero Punctuation: House of the Dead: Overkill

    A pretty good review. I remember playing HotD3 in a seaside arcade and finding the hardest part of it having to insert 50p every time I wanted to keep playing :P I'm a PS3 owner, and having played Killzone 2, I don't really care about it. I seriously don't get all the praise FPS games get -...

    PS3: Is it worth the money?

    I preordered my PS3 at a price of £425 (at the time, that was about $850). I still believe it was worth it, especially as it's one of the now-non existent versions to have full (with about a five game exception) backward compatibility with both PS2 and PSone, four USB ports and the little flap...

    What Did achievements/trophies Do to gaming?

    I promised myself I'd not get hooked into trophy hunting... then I did. Since I'm a PS3 owner, it frequently affects my choice of game to play, as a lot of my older games lack trophy support, and I'm always looking for more. It also meant I wasted a lot of money on download games only to find...

    Left 4 dead-ps3

    I loved The Orange Box on PS3 (another of the EA ports of a Valve game). Many people complained it was a disgusting conversion. I'm kind of glad I never played any of The Orange Box on PC or 360, since as I have nothing to compare the PS3 port to, and since TOB was immense, I really don't care...

    XKCD

    It's an awesome comic. I'm glad I'm mathematically/scientifically knowledged enough to understand them.

    What's the most famous film you've never seen

    I haven't seen about 90% of the films mentioned here (including Citizen Kane, Shawshank Redemption, and any of the Godfathers films). I prefer underrated films and films that got great ratings but few people bothered watching.

    first console?

    An old SNES. I wish I still had one, but it broke.

    Oblivion is better (IMO)

    I found Oblivion miles better than Morrowind. Morrowind's combat was really, REALLY bad. I just couldn't enjoy it personally.

    Poll: 2008's Most Overrated Game

    I had to go with Brawl. It was too much like its predecessors, which is coming a bit too much of a habit for Nintendo. :/ I think GTAIV was maybe overhyped, but I wasn't disappointed in the slightest by it. I didn't miss anything it dropped from GTASA apart from maybe the land scale, but I...

    Snoop Dogg comes to Rock Band

    I don't see how rap would work in such a game at all. The absense of guitars in most of Snoop Dogg's tracks, as well as how utterly badly rapping's been in singing games so far. That leaves drums - rap's rarely got a decent beat to it. Oh, and Snoop Dogg tracks go against both parts of the...

    Your user name, why did you pick it?

    I invented it out of nothing when I was six for a completely different purpose. It stuck. I use it for everything - my website, my games, the various communities I'm a member at and my email.

    Whats YOUR favourite game of all time?

    I'd pick Canis Canem Edit, or Bully as America knows it. It turned out to completely stuff all allegations of it being a bully simulator down the media's throat, it had a pretty good, original story, a great premise, rarely-visited-in-games locations such as the residential area and the...

    The death of Story?

    I don't know about stories disappearing, I've played tons of games with a decent storyline recently. Story modes seem to me to be getting shorter and easier though - I completed GTAIV with a playtime of 13 hours, whereas San Andreas and Vice City were over 30 each.
