Was that (Subsistence) the first, "pure" version, or the upgraded one that also had a 3D camera? I played a bit through the non-3D-camera version when it was first released, and the static isometric camera from years past felt too restrictive. I never played the 3d-fied version that was released...

Nope, I knew about that one, but thanks anyway. I'm looking for the "first version", "the classic" that started it all, not just to be able to replay it, but mainly for a friend with an old-ish laptop with whom we'd played it years ago - and would like to replay it through local Lan. There...

It's hard picking one, but when I think that the only game I've finished four times is God of War 2... Well... You know..! :-P I also find I return again and again to Amplitude, Katamari Damacy and Rez from time to time, and I hateloved (yeah, it IS a word in this occasion) Shinobi's PS2 3D...

Well, the title is the question and I guess I don't have to say much more to explain it, do I? :-D ( Pick three. Because it's fun! )

I vividly remember that some years ago Electronic Arts had released the old classic Battlefield 1942 for free. It had appeared on many sites, and it had found its way to the Origin store as well, as a freebie. And now, it's gone. No matter how much I've looked around, I can't seem to be able...

@Jojo83 Well, "commercially" it was considered a flop. Maybe we should have split the whole conversation in two categories: "market" flops and "total" flops! For example, since it was... er... virtually unplayable (ha-ha), the GameboyVR was a total flop: it didn't sell AND you couldn't actually...

@Webene Well, I don't really think about it. Games of that era were games of that era, and gaming has changed since then. I feel strange and a bit of nostalgia when I see (mostly indie) new games returning to the aesthetics and gameplay of the "then" times, like, dunno, Broforce, VVVVV, or of...

@JayWifi Heh, the fat one was the best, since by adding the Ethernet Controller (additional extra), you also got a HDD port! That was something many people didn't know, and if you later jailbroke your console, you could install your games to a HDD this way. They don't ALL work, but many do...

Yep, it is, directly compared to the PS4. It has less and up to a point worse exclusives - Sunset Overdrive and a new Halo are on the same level as God of War and Uncharted, but PS4 ALSO has The Order, the upcoming must-for-retro-fans Shadow of the Beast as well as indie mega-titles like No...

Nope. Most of its "exclusives" are actually CONSOLE exclusives - that means "you can't find them on THE OTHER console" - the PS3. But you CAN find them on PC. There's just a bunch of titles that are truly exclusive to it, found only on Xbox 360, but they haven't aged that well. Would you play...

Yep, and although I love it, after PCSX2 I see no point firing it up. You see, PCSX2 is an emulator for PC that can play most of its games full speed and with UPGRADED visuals (can re-scale "internally" the graphics to higher resolutions - HD and even further). So, why play the games on their...

The GameGear by SEGA ended being a dissapointment. The Jaguar. The 3DO. All consoles that COULD have been better, but a combination of some tragic hardware choices and a pale library compared to the competition made them what we, today, call "flops". It's a shame... GG had some nice games going...

Well, it wasn't just one - 'cause it had thousands upon thousands of games! You see, I'm an old gamer, and my first platform was the c64. Some games I loved - and the reasons for each one: CREATURES: I still remember it stands for "Clyde Radcliffe Exterminates All The Unfriendly Repulsive...

@utnego7d Yeah, but in that way you're missing out on the big picture (pun intended) :-P I find that portable platforms, like PSP and DS, are better suited to arcade-y games you can play for 5-10 minutes and put away. For long gaming sessions, being hunched over them will make your neck and...

Whatever it is, it will surely be "No Half-Life 3". That might even be its official title! Kidding aside, Valve is invested in both Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality AND the PCs as "gaming machines in the living room", and Half-Life is her most cherished property, so I guess we'll see the...

Well, it's not just the user, it's the game as well. My wife plays more "casual" games than I do, so she doesn't have a problem playing on her laptop. What's the point of watching the "explosive action" of... er... Bejewelled on a projected 10 meter screen? Mass Effect, on the other hand...

Yep, as most said, it depends on the game. Games like Assassin's Creed and sports games are better with joypad since you've got better directional control and analogue movement. Games like FPS's and strategy games are better with mouse and keyboard, 'cause accuracy. Flight simulators and...

Well, count'em: PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii. At least 10 to 30 games for each. How much does it build up to? And nope, I don't have "only those 10 to 30 games for each". Working for tech (and gaming) magazines had its perks ;-)

Nothing beats PCs - and, as was mentioned, yay for emulators. There aren't (fully working) emulators (yet) for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, not even for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but one day, one day, oh, they'll come, they'll surely come, one way or another! As for consoles-consoles, I love...

Isn't that what, up to a point, what L.A. Noire was about? Haven't played it (although I _do_ have it, just never got to installing it). Just asking, curious as to what to expect from it (I won't have the time to install it for days, nay, weeks, nay, months to come - work to do, things waiting...
