    PS3 controller driver and broken controllers?

    Drivers simply interpret data that input devices send to the computer. There is no way, to my knowledge, that using your ps3 controller on your computer could do it any harm.

    Poll: Minecraft XBL

    As a person who also owns all the current gen consoles as well as a great pc, no it won't affect me, and honestly if Notch said he was porting the game to XBLA today I wouldn't care. I'm not actually upset, it's just whenever I argue about anything I get a little...passionate. I guess I just...

    First person shooters - help or hindrance?

    FPS are not the problem. The brown-realism-chest-high-wall-fest that are the popular First Person Bro-shooters are the problem. Get rid of "CoD 87: What's Innovation?(tm)"* and the world would be a better place. Halo is alright, I guess, even though I find it BROathesome. At least it plays old...

    Poll: Minecraft XBL

    I would love to see you quickly open your inventory, move a spare item to one of your equipped slots, select it, and then attack a creeper with it with a controller. If I know how my inventory is organized (and I do) I can do this in mere seconds. The fact of the matter is that a game like...

    In Defense Of Consoles & Gamepads

    There is a certain "default" control scheme to pc fps that you get used to though. For instance, WASD is always move. The number keys always switch weapons. Ctrl or C is always crouch. Shift is pretty much always run or sprint. In games without leaning E is always use, if there is leaning, it's...

    What do you want to see in the future of gaming

    I want to see a "Back-to-basics" revival with more 2D platformers and games that are all around fun, instead of this brown shooter fetish.

    Poll: I HATE SMALL, WHITE TEXT! (also Arcania: Gothic 4 Demo review)

    White is simply the highest contrast color in 99% of situations. If there was an option to vote for LARGE white text I would've picked that.

    Considering getting killing floor is it worth it?

    I don't like it because it's not cooperative like L4D in the sense that you must rely on your other teammates or you absolutely WILL fail. In Killing Floor, it's a game of L4D survival by yourself with 3 other people, if that makes sense.

    Bad Game Elements

    I hate all timed elements in gameplay. I strongly dislike speed running just because I feel rushed and start performing sloppily. The Speed run stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2 are a good example of this, although the experience is much more fun with a friend taking care of the enemies while you...

    Poll: Retro Consoles

    I voted the SNES simply because it has a very diverse and well rounded library of awesome games. Super Metroid, Link to the Past, Super Mario World 3, you know, the classics.

    Poll: What's your opinion on Rap and Hip Hop?

    I like good rap. Most of the mainstream artists are pretty terrible; they have no skill, they rise to fame only because of their stupid, filthy lyrics that only bros and bro-ettes who watch MTV reality shows all day like.

    Civilization 5, and my Laptop has disappointed me. (But good news for Halo: Reach)

    If you want to say console gaming is cheaper then consider this. A GAMING PC can run ALL PC games available, and they can cost, at the lowest end of the spectrum, about $700 (which includes the Operating System, Monitor, and Mouse and Keyboard) to build a fairly high end one that will run...

    game mods (xbox pc and ps3) freind or foe?

    First off, I'd like to mention that modding doesn't mean CHEATING IN MULTIPLAYER GAMES. It's pretty much a huge misconception by console gamers that modding means using hacks to be a dick in multiplayer. Nobody likes that. I mod my Single-player games all the time to add additional content...

    Poll: Are You Ready To Ditch Disks?

    Thanks to Steam, I've ALREADY ditched disks. If consoles in the future have MUCH bigger hard drives I might just as a soon ditch disks for them as well.

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    This pretty much exactly sums up how I feel about this game.
