The only games that gave me this kind of trouble were online multi player ones, I remember pulling all-nighters playing Quake 3 all the time yet it was more about the community than the actual game, because when we were not playing we were wasting time in IRC. I remember realizing that I had to...

Nah, this is a problem, people tell you that you should only use your bed for sleeping for a reason: the brain gets all confused when you work in bed, for example, it learns to associate the environment and setting with working thus it gets more active and you end up with trouble sleeping. It is...

The first thing that everybody does after the Hello World program when they are learning to code is probably trying to make a game. Games are actually quite complicated things these days, people don't seem to realize that games are sophisticated pieces of code, specially in the 3d engine...

The cliffhanger ending for Halo 2 was a joke. It was just a setup to make you buy the next generation console, actually this thing of leaving the conclusion of the trilogy for a new game on a new console was pretty cheap. If you want to talk about disappointing yet pretty funny endings think...

Quite frankly, emulators, I don't collect old games anymore, it is getting more and more difficult to find TVs that you can use with some of the old systems and having several old systems hooked to a TV creates little rat's nests of cables. I think some nice emulator with an USB old controller...

Wow, now I am feeling very old, the original Tomb Raider was a 1996 title, the 90s were great for video games, every video game brought something new and new genres were born like the FPS (Now done to death but back then it was awesome) and the transition to actual real 3D graphics. I still...

I am a very huge Nintendo fan since the original NES. Notice how of all the games you mentioned 2 of them are basically remakes and a bunch of sequels, ok, that's not such a huge problem after all every Zelda game is kind of a sequel, but of all the things that you mentioned the only game that...

I guess that you simply can't expect big announcements year after year. If you think about it, all these big companies business cycles are pretty much synced and aligned, new console announcements are done at the same time by all the big players and consoles are pretty much released the same...

Look, it is a whole different experience, the game takes much longer, it is harder to set up and play but once you get the hang of it you will see what I mean. Now your decisions no longer are simply calculations about number of troops and your odds for a successful attack, you have to read...

This E3 looks boring, I don't think that any new console will get unveiled, and I can't think of any big announcement that could occur, beyond perhaps a final release date for the next Zelda title? Nintendo appears to be in bad shape, everything that's going on from them right now appears to be...

Well, RISK is the king of board games I am surprised that nobody has mentioned it yet. What I like about that game is that the rules are not that complex but the real game is going on in the relationships, betrayals and alliances between the players. Look, you can play RISK online but it is...

So, I wanted to play Mortal Kombat 3 the other day. In my mind this was not yer an oldie game, hey! it came in a CD! I don't know why I was expecting the thing to simply work on a modern computer. Of course, it failed miserably. It then occurred to me that this game predates even Windows 95. (It...

A flight sim for the Xbox 360 called Over G Fighters. I really wanted to like this game but I simply looked ugly and I could never dodge a single enemy missile hence I didn't make it past the first one or two missions. The thing was so frustrating that it stopped being fun fairly quickly. I...

How far were you able to get? I made it to the Lakebed temple before I stopped playing for a long time, I actually came back to it almost 2 years later and finished the thing out of gamer pride. I actually had to watch like a 6 hours play trough on YouTube up to the point where I was stuck...

I had a first generation Xbox that died on me with the dreaded red ring thing, I never replaced it. I then got a 360 that died but not immediately, I used that extensively. I actually was able to repair it using a weird trick that I found online: you cover the thing with lots of blankets so it...

Where is that? because the only thing that I see that resembles arcades are a few game cabinets, usually very old racing games, at places like hotels or theme parks. All those machines are usually very old and look all beaten up. What used to be arcade games first like Mortal Kombat only have...

Quite honestly, if you are put off by the graphics maybe this isn't a game for you, but you can use shaders and packs as it was explained to make it look beautiful. I actually prefer it to run smoothly and don't care about the graphics much. It is very easy to learn, at least the basic...

For a relaxing gaming experience I recommend a series of games called "draw the line". They are puzzle games where you basically have to connect a few dots in a way in which the lines don't intersect. It is hard to explain but once you play it you get the point immediately. There is no time...

The NES was the first one that I had, but the N64 was my favorite. All the games were amazing, the controller was awesome and comfortable. The multi player experience, albeit only split screen was the most fun that you could have with friends. Some games were really both impressive and fun, like...

Well, A Link Between Worlds happens to be one fo the best Zelda games ever. A Link Between Worlds was actually a sequel to "A Link to the Past", yeah, well, the Zelda timeline is weird like that. Take a look into "A Link to The past" and you would see that those two games are very similar and I...
