Technically, you both are right. The Commodore C64 actually came in multiple configurations IIRC. My friend had the PC version that had a cartridge slot in the back of the keyboard unit and another friend of mine had the "game system" version which had a cartridge slot built into the top of it...

Not sure if any of you watch Silicon Valley on HBO, but the current storylines revolve around the company that is basically Facebook buying VR and it being totally worthless. Considering this thread was opened 5 years ago and the Rift has basically been DOA, that tells you VR just isn't feasible...

OMG, Yes Please! This was one of my favorite Sega Genesis games that I played all of the time. With the ability of customization now, this could be an awesome game and it doesn't even have to be a big elaborate production. I thought I remember seeing a project on Steam of a Road Rash like game...

I'm dating myself, but my first online game was BBS door games like LORD - Legend of the Red Dragon. For those of you youngsters that never got to enjoy the BBS days, you'd dial into a BBS with your modem and you make posts on the bulletin board, download files (very, veeeery slowly) or play...

For PC games: 90% of my purchases are on Steam. I'd say most of the remaining 10% is through Humble Bundle which then get redeemed on Steam. For Xbox games: Almost every game gets purchased from Best Buy as I'm a member of Gamers Club Unlocked which gets me 20% off as well as they routinely...

I'm to the point where I purchase so few games that I typically get what I want to play upon release. Back when I was younger and played a bunch of titles every year, I would wait for a month or two before picking them up except for those games that were absolutely necessary to play from the...

In that case, is any hobby worth doing at all? At least with gaming, there are measurable benefits. As others having pointed out, anything that gives you a sense of joy is worth doing. In addition to the personal enjoyment and relaxation/stress relief, gaming has other tangible, measurable...

From COD4 to Ghosts, I was routinely ranked among the top of the Xbox leaderboards in several game modes and totally agree with you about 4 having the most replayability for S&D with the maps. Also, the smoothness of the weapons was something that I really enjoyed.

Thanks for the heads up! I completed missed this but if they do this right and tied it into the Xbox on PC Achievement system, I'm pretty sure this will be a purchase for me. I put thousands of hours into this series and I'm looking for an old school feel since I don't like the path they're...

I'd just drop the 1 on my current gametag. It's my last name and someone had it before me even though they never used it. Grr!

My list... keep in mind I've been playing since the original title and played that one on PC. I moved to playing the series on Xbox with with COD2. 1. COD4: Modern Warfare 2. COD: Black Ops 3. COD: World at War 4. COD: Black Ops II 5. COD: Modern Warfare 2 6. COD: Modern Warfare 3 7. COD...

Physical discs? Nope. I know how good I take care of my stuff but you never truly know how someone else will. I will say it didn't used to be that way during the old cartridge days but once gaming moved to discs, my sharing days were over. As for digital sharing, this was actually the #1 reason...

It's 2017 and we have great programming and mathematical minds. If they can't figure out algorithms on how to lobby like-skilled gamers in highly competitive games there will definitely be issues but it's a challenge that developers should be able to handle if they're worth their weight in...

I'm a big fan of the tower defense type of games and most of the better ones I've played have come out on mobile/tablets. Mobile games are no different from "regular" video games in terms that they need to be able to keep my attention and interest. No point in just playing something to play...

The TurboGrafx-16 and Neo Geo units come to mind from my childhood. I wonder what may have happened had they hadn't sat on the TG-16 release for over two years later than Japan and actually packaged a game with the system that the American market would have known about. As for the Neo Geo, a...

Several of the older Civilization titles played on easy. I do this when I'm bored and have some time to kill and playing it on easy typically means the civs won't attack each other that much. I do that so I can take each and every city one-by-one. Guess Total World Domination is a guilty...

Even though I believe the Microsoft E3 conference was very underwhelming, the one announcement that had me interested was the Xbox One/Nintendo Switch crossplay for Minecraft. Although I don't play Minecraft, this finally opens the door to something that has been requested for as long as I can...

The difference is COD started out in the military shooter space as being one of the more realistic titles for consoles. In doing that, along with the development progress into COD4, for example, it build a large, dedicated fan base that it pretty much alienated when it dropped Advanced Warfare...

Well, won't really know if they're worthwhile or not, but the only 2 games that are exclusive to the Xbox console that caught my eye were Cuphead and Sea of Thieves and honestly the Sea of Thieves game can go either way. Pretty much everything else was a big "meh" to me or will be available on...

Right and I think that is the disconnect most console players have with the price, too. A lot of console players are typically budget conscious (usually due to age) so if they already have an Xbox One, they've likely already shelled out $300-500 within the last three years which makes it even a...
