    Is the Intel Atom still around? How does it compare to ARM A9?

    Except there nothing out there yet based on these chips while Atom-based tablets are all over the place. And I would expect first AMD devices to be mired in driver issues. It took Intel almost 4 months to work out all Clover Trail bugs and provide trouble-free drivers. How long would it take AMD...

    Guitar Hero Greatest Hits Revealed

    You know, one thing that is good about this whole GH franchise is that all the newer installments of the game drop in price like a rock very shortly after release. So if you have a little patience these still good games can be had at deep discount and enjoyed while sticking it to Activision by...

    My 360 'turns off' when it doesn't get video feed

    Funny how sometimes timing of the posts is so perfect. I just connected my new arcade via HDMI and immedeatly noticed that it restarts every time I go through hdmi inputs on the switch. The link provided by Oyeve is a life saver as it took me all of 2 minutes to implement the hack and have...

    Intersted in RB/RB 2 and/or GH:WT

    If you really want to to 'try before buy' you can get a GHIII pack (comes with a guitar) for around $50 these days. It's a prefect price point. If you decide later to go the full band path you would need a second guitar anyway, so you won't waste any money and GHIII guitar is fully compatible...

    Non-HDMI Xbox 360 (1080p over component)

    I have one of those 'original' Premiums with 20Gb HD and run it via component cable on 1080p resolution to Samsung DLP - I had never have any issues with it and picture is as clear and sharp as the one from my PS3 running video over HDMI. But yeah, unless you got a deal for less then $100 for a...

    Who games on a 120Hz tv?

    Not all 120Hz TVs interpolate frames. My Samsung DLP uses 120Hz to work around the issue it can't display full 1080p signal at 60Hz. So it breaks down 1080p frame into two 1080i frames and shows them at 120Hz instead of 60Hz. No interpolation = no lag.

    Woot! Just got my code for RB2 20 songs!

    downloading my songs as I write this - I did not expect any major bands for bonus material and actually like to discover new music. And when the price is right, it's a double win.

    Siren: Blood Curse for PS3 gets 8 out of 10 from Eurogamer

    This is the game I was looking forward to since they released the demo couple of weeks ago. Survival Horror with rich storyline and episodic content - you don't get these often, especially on PS3. Until RE5 reaches us sometime in 2009 you won't find a finer game to scare the shit out of you and...

    PS3 is 90% Backward Compatible to PS2?

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I just rechecked all these titles 8 months after the original inquiry. Surprise, surprise - nothing has changed! None of the titles was moved into 'No major problems for this title' category. With Sony reissuing 80Gb PS3 are they ever going to get serious about...

    Anyone exctied about Empire: Total War???

    Take it easy TehMac, and clean your manners before posting on these forums. I don't appreciate your edifying and boorish tone. I have built my own computers since 1990-ies, so I hope, I can live without some techno prick telling me what to do. TW is a great series - I think we agree on this and...

    Anyone exctied about Empire: Total War???

    Do I miss something here? Where are the bayonets in the picture? I sincerely hope these soldiers did not go into hand-to-hand fighting trying to pierce each other with muzzles alone?! I love Napoleon era (have read many books about it) but it's going to be challenging as hell to implement it...

    RockBand DLC Feb 12

    Very strange choices indeed. I would understand if they would release non-hit songs from hit artists that were at least good (songs). Instead we get so-so songs and are expected to pay full admission price. And let me ask you, why Police again? I mean, they were great group and I love Sting and...

    Recommend a KB/Mouse combo for Linux on PS3.

    Logitech sells what they call 'mediaboards' that have built-in mousepad where you would usually have keypad on the regular keyboard. There are two versions out there - older one using RF and USB2 dongle and newer one that uses Bluetooth (you would have to buy dongle for non-Bluetooth devices)...

    Well I think I'm going to get a Wii soon. *Update*

    What a pointless thread... You remind me of my friend who scrutinized over and over again if it made sense for her to spend lousy couple of hundred on game console and then went and bought on impulse a lavish cruise vacation that screwed her credit for years.

    More weekly DLC goodness for Rock Band owners

    I just hope that they would introduce 'rent a song' feature for smaller price then current structure. Yeah, the price of $2 per song (for most of the songs currently available on DLC) does not seem high until you load 20-30 tracks and suddenly realize that you spent 60 bucks for songs that you...

    PS3 to officially support DivX tomorrow

    I have that link but it does not help much as I have to check each and every title I am interested in every time to see if their status have changed. I would much rather see quick list of the games that were added/updated in the most recent release to make notice of titles I may want to play...

    Games similar to Leasure suit larry: MCL

    Xbox has Syberia 1 & 2 - these are excelent adventure games that involve a lot of puzzle solving and, oh yes, a lot of running around. Plus with the female character in the main role and no swords or any kinds of weapons whatsoever, I'm sure your wife will like it.

    media hub

    Would you please elaborate on how Xbox 360 supports H.264 format. I have plenty of files in .mkv wrapper that are encoded in H264 and my Xbox does not read them unless I stream them via Traversity and loose surround sound in the process. That depends. I don't remember the last time I was...

    media hub

    If you are waiting for a DIVX support from MS or Sony to play your files straight up - you will be sorely dissapointed. First, there are many DIVX sub-specifications, then there is XVID, X264 and other codecs. I am not even talking about Audio support here. Look at what it takes sometimes to...

    YAY! PS3 for b-day

    My bad - I should have been more attentive before opening my mouth. I would say that HDMI switch has more potential in it, but given the current state of affairs that poster has, he may want to postpone buying it and just go with the component switch. you won't see dramatic difference...

    YAY! PS3 for b-day

    Huh? Monoprice has sweet 4x1 HDMI switch for only $42. You say you spent $500 on the next generation console and then decided to save $12 by getting component switch instead of HDMI? :confused: If your TV has HDMI input, getting HDMI switch is a prudent investment. Component is so...

    wheres the best place to buy a game console

    Besides Microsoft basically screwing the deal for everyone with the Xbox 1 Live account restriction, you would have to wait another 2-3 months for the game. Who would want to buy console and then not be able to play it's biggest hit until everyone and their dog have already finished it?

    PS3 is 90% Backward Compatible to PS2?

    Another statistician among us :D And I thought I was the only one here good with the numbers. Yes, you are right. All 4 Ratchet games from the PS2 era most probably shared the very same engine and so they will share the same fate as to PS3 compatibility. It is just very surprising to me, that...

    PS3 is 90% Backward Compatible to PS2?

    Is it 1st of 2nd God of War? PS2 compatability status shows that first one is not fully supported. As for your question, I doubt that Xbox guitar wuold work on PS3. The Guiar is nothing more then a glorified controller for the respective console and they are not compatible.

    PS3 is 90% Backward Compatible to PS2?

    Five PC Gaming myths

    Good article, but author sometimes tries too hard to convince himself that his arguments are correct.

    Medieval 2 Kingdoms

And besides, by leaving main campaign untouched they did not break the compatibility with multiple fan...

    Medieval II or Civilization 4?

    Wii and HDTV, your own experience please

    I play Wii on Samsung 56'' DLP HDTV (true 1080P) and have no problem whatsoever with graphics. A lot of Nintendo original games (for both Wii and Gamecube) are cartoonish and pretty much have no difference playing on regular vs HDTV set as cartoons can scale very well to high resolutions due to...

    Wii Owners Beware
