I would chose something that would interest them and would understand right away. For example if they like baseball show them a baseball game. Not only will they understand the rules, but also understand the appeal of participating in the game rather then passively just watching a game on tv.

By solving the real issues. If it's just a simple case of the guy being so into it he neglects everything else, then try to get him into a new hobby along side the game when he splits his time among the game and a new hobby EQ will seem like less of a big deal to him and spend even less time...

The only legal issue with emulators+legit disks is the BIOS needed to run them. It's a legal gray area if you use the same bios version of the PS1 you own. You don't need to use roms or ISOs as a standard DvD/CDROM drive can read ps1 disks with no problems

FF 7/8/11 were on the PC. However 7/8 were horrible coded and crashed a lot back then. Today not only does the crashing still happen but lots of XP compatibility problems cause even more crashing making them unplayable. Your best bet is to use a PS1 emulator. Not only will you have less...

The Virtual boy, bought it on clearance for $40 and picked up 10 used games for it from blockbuster for $20 total. Main problem with that system IMO was that only 2 out of those 10 games were actually in 3D, the rest look like cardboard cutouts in a 3d plane. (think paper mario only they weren't...

It sounds like it could be a classic plot of the apprentice being forced to turn on the master. The hero becomes friends with the master and becomes his apprentice, at some point ether the master or hero joins the rival faction and are forced to confront each other. Because of their long...

Every site I see on news for FF XIV says its a PS3 exclusive

It makes sense for 13 and 14 to be developed at the same time, chances are they are sharing artwork (textures, models, etc) and fans of 11 have been waiting for a new FF MMO for like 5 years. I do think they should have dropped the number and just called it Final fantasy: Whatever online...

for $10.. maybe, $15 is too much for it The overall problem with the game is it tries to be scary and fails horribly, it reminded me a lot of those horror stories for kids that you would see on nickelodeon Gameplay is a combination of a FPS and a rail shooter, go into a section, kill...

What I would like to see is being able to buy a game online and getting both a download copy and a hardcopy sent to my house. That probably wont happen as they don't want you to sell the hardcopy while keeping the download. the next best thing that would also be great is getting both a...

the blizzard store lets you buy prepaid codes online Probably the safest place to get them http://www.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=110000004

There are exceptions, but generally these types of add-ons don't do that well in the marketplace. Developers don't like making games around attachments few people have, heck many games don't even utilize the 360s hard drive well. If it works good, and the games that support it are fun, it...

I don't own a psp so it all comes down to how much it will cost. With the lack of UMD and smaller screen, it better have a much cheaper price to make up for not being able to buy games used or on sale. If they are under 100 I might pick one up, if they plan on charging like 179 or something...

Some people have fun with it for years, others have fun with it till 80, others still get bored with it in the mid levels. If you subscribe for a few months, get bored with it in the 40s, you can always just stop the subscription any time. Some might call it wasted money, but if you had fun...

It's part of human nature. A ugly part of it. As bad as gamers are about it, nothing is worse then sports fanboys. I've seen people get into fist fights about what team was better, and news reports overs gun fights about it. Riots when a team loses/wins, full blown riots with looting...
