Gamescom: Dark Souls Trailer

Yes, you're still very early in the game. However, here's a tip that may help: Also, don't worry about raising the door. As you noticed, it closes again anyway. However, there's a bonfire very close by. When you come to the wooden bridge with the cathedral on the left (and three enemies...

Explore Sewers In RAGE, But Only If You Buy It New

Sure, it will have no impact until it actually does bite you in the ass. Say, when you buy a new game and your system dies while you're playing it. And, again, just keep supporting this utter nonsense and we'll find out just how far they take it. Oh, and save the BS about used game buyers not...

Explore Sewers In RAGE, But Only If You Buy It New

Lots of people? A small group per game, sure, but plenty of people play older games from times to time. You haven't? Besides that's just one aspect. What if you get a new system? Or your current system or hard drive dies? I mean, how many people here are still on their original XBox...

Explore Sewers In RAGE, But Only If You Buy It New

What a terrible concept. So now publishers are going to start withholding single player content in an attempt to squash the used game market? And I already see that we have people here not seeing the big picture. So you say you already buy new? Well, good for you, now try actually thinking...

Nintendo slashing 3DS price to $170 in August

I think that's referring to specific games. The DSi itself can connect to WPA networks, but if you're trying to play a game with online features that was released before the DSi then you'll be unable to access the online features while using WPA encryption.

Will tablets and smartphones destroy the handheld market?

I think they'll put a huge dent in the dedicated portables, but maybe not completely wipe them out. I think many people view portable games as time wasters. So I think the cheap $1-5 games fit that perfectly. Most are garbage and virtually all are shallow, but if you can pass a few minutes...

Resistance 3 starts Sony's version of the online pass

This actually seems worse than most PC games in many ways. Yeah, the crap they put up with on single player games is often worse, but when taking about online games I think the passes are worse in most cases. The most annoying PC DRM usually have some sort of install limit with the keys, but...

Resistance 3 starts Sony's version of the online pass

They aren't even remotely close yet though. I mean, the mobile platforms are great for games like Angry Birds, but anything deeper usually feels very cheap. For example, I appreciate the fact that I can play a Diablo clone like Dungeon Hunter on the go, but compared to Diablo itself it's...

Resistance 3 starts Sony's version of the online pass

Of course, virtually all games were $50 just last generation, I think that's why people complain a lot this generation. Also, many of those older games were pricey due to the prices of solid state storage. Personally, I'm fine with the prices of games given the increase in devepment costs, I...

Resistance 3 starts Sony's version of the online pass

This and all online passes are crap. Why game devs and pubs think they deserve special treatment is beyond me. Virtually every other non-perishable product on the market deals with a used market. Games aren't special.

"White Sparkles" video problem with PS3

People often say that the quality of HDMI cables doesn't matter, but sometimes it does. White sparkles or macro blocking are the two sure fire signs that you're losing signal with your current cables. Six feet really isn't that long, so your current cables are either super cheap or have some...

Sony ends welcome back program early

It does say "through" the 3rd. That clearly means available today. That's not debatable. However, people did have plenty of time. Still, Sony was kind of stupid here. Why risk the bad press?

Free games from Sony. Are those games any good?

IMO, the best upgrades were for the grenades, mines, and flares. They're excellent for crowd control. The SMG is worthless. The flame thrower is merely OK... it's good for slowing down a crowd, but it's easy to set yourself on fire and it really doesn't seem to pack much of a punch. The...
