years

Say. It. Ain't. So. Reports indicate that J Allard, a driving force behind the design of the Xbox (and the Zune) is leaving Microsoft, after his latest dream project was binned by the company. Having been the former pin-up boy of Microsoft's video game consoles, especially in the lead-up to the...

I am curious about Sports Games. When it comes to Sports games, I am not a fan, except for racers. And I do have NBA Jam in my gaming library. I have often wondered why Sports games so easily end up in the bargain bin for as little as $1.00? Especially during the 16-bit years I saw them for as...

One decade ago was the Japanese launch of the PS2, a system that most of us enjoyed throughout the years yet the Disc Read Errors was frustrating to get our old games working, plus we also used to watch DVDs long before Blu Ray Players came out. This week, March 4th 2010 to be exact is where the...

I sure do. So far I've had to fix my PSP, replace a DS Light, fix my PS2, and fix my friend's PSP three times. also now you hear about how the PS3 has the YLOD and the 360 has the RROD. It makes me kind of hesitant on buying any newer systems considering that they seem pretty fragile, like for...

other than probably gaming, anyone doing anything for new years? if i dont get a chance to say it, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 EVERYONE!! :rockin

The "Tekken" post I just made,reminded me of a cute little story that I don't think I mentioned before.Several years ago,I was taking a Tae Kwon Do class near where I live.I used to get a lift into class from my instructor who happened to be a friend of the family.While we and a few others in...

EB Games where I live is selling used "PS2's" for $59 give or take. The problem I'm having with it is that they're the older larger models.If they were the sleek ones,I'd buy one.I'm a little worried with the older versions due to the problems that occurred with them in the past. I understand...

We have 11 days left before the Nintendo Gamecube turns 8 years old! (JP Release: 9/14/2001) If you forgot the date of the Nintendo Gamecube's 8th Anniversary, it is September 14th 2009 which is two months before the 8th birthday of the Gamecube's US Launch. I can celebrate this on September...

I'm not too bad.I sure wish "FF XIII" would get here sooner than projected,but it's just not in the cards,is it? :lol Peace. Kaz

Have you changed over the years in your gaming tastes, as far as genre goes, since you became a gamer? If it has been a drastic change, what do you contribute that to? Advancement in technology? Changes in game design? New genre that filled the hunger? I started with a Commodore 64, then 16-bit...

Hi All, I think gaming mags have way too much fluff. It wouldn't kill publishers to add more cheats and weed out some of the most asinine material.In all fairness,I do like the mags that are devoted to quasi game guides and codes. The prices are ridiculous. The stupid thing is,the people who...

The real HALO: Combat Evolved HALO was originally planned to be a Mac exclusive 10 years ago, close to this very day! It was said to be ready by 2003! Watch this amazing beta of what HALO could have been! Everything you know and love in the Halo series is not what you think in this very early...

Have you noticed some games have been spawning sequels once a year now, instead of the good ol' days when it was a 2-4 year gap. The question here, is when is a sequel TOO soon? The game industry keeps tripling the budgets of these projects every sequel it seems to outdo the original title...

Hi Guys. I just found out today that we have to sell the house we own,due to financial problems. We've lived here for a little north of 24 years.Have any of you had to do the same?If so.how on earth did you find solace at your new home? :( God Bless, Kaz

Do you think that the rapidly growing popularity of video games within the last 12 years or so has had negative effect or a positive effect on today's youth as far as students cuffing class,or putting the games ahead of school,homework,etc. God Bless, KAZMAIER

I was just talking to a friend about the Zelda series, particularly Ocarina of Time and a Link to the Past. One theory he ran past me was about Bongo Bongo (the Shadow Temple boss), and how he could have once been a thief in Kakariko Village, and his hands and head were cut off for being a...

Hi Addicts! Some of you might of heard of this stuff years ago,but hear it goes. For anyone that buys used video games,especially if the game is from "EB Games",I'm sure that nobody likes the adhesive left over from taking of price tags a seals when you open it.It's a liquid in a plastic...

Hello All! In your opinion,what major changes to video games do you think we will see 10 or 15 years from now? God Bless KAZ

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/27/final-fantasy-iv-the-after-years-coming-to-wii/ It seems that Nintendo's recently discovered trademark for "The After Years" was, in fact, referencing a Wii port of the cell-phone based follow-up to the SNES role-playing classic Final Fantasy IV. An ESRB rating...
