I posted a while back about being the voice of Olivia Steele in "Cracks in the Armor," a Metal Gear Solid radioplay. The radioplay finished up a while back but our fabulous director has some kick-ass revamping in store (dare I mention certain connections to the original :x ) when she releases it as one single file rather than the series of episodes.

I'm so proud to be a part of this and so freaking flattered that we ran across a FAN made machinima!! We have fans?! Well with 20,000 listeners I guess we're bound to have a few ^_~ Anyway, I just had to share it with fellow gamers.

What games are you hoping to find you over the holidays?

Prince of Persia: Rival Swords
Obscure: The Aftermath

360 Game

,.......I just jizzed my pants......*dies*

Hi all!

My mom is really into games like "Myst" where you explore your surroundings in a 3d environment to work out clues and all that. I was wondering if you gals could give me some advice on other games like this? They're usually not very popular and kind of obscure so I'm not even sure where to start looking.

Thanks in advance!!
<3

I've decided to take the advice of this community and put Dragon Age: Origins on my Christmas list. :D:D:D

Where would you recommend telling my family to look for it? Amazon or GameStop or another place? Cheaper is better in my family's case.

Sorry if this is not allowed. I now have an account to gamewallpapers.com I simply don't like the fact you have to pay for good quality wallpapers. Coming from a person who makes wallpapers you shouldn't need to pay for them.
Anyway I'm taking request. I'm new to the posting this stuff. So be patient with me. Just tell me or show me what you want along with the resolution
oh and since on the subject of graphics I also have the artbook to Assassins Creed 2 if anyone wants me to post it.

I'm debating whether I should check out the EyePet when it's released in the US, so I'd be interested in some feedback from anyone who bought it this past October. Most of the gameplay demos looked pretty impressive, but I notice that a few critics panned it.

I apologize in advance if another member already covered this topic and I just didn't see it when I skimmed over the archives.

Fine, I'll make a stupid question but it's for a noble cause! What are the diferences between Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty and Substence? I don't mean the VR missions, but the game itself, for example I would like to know if the boss music, Yell Dead Cell is changed to the remix version, if there's a lot more dialogs, cutscenes, etc, etc, etc... If you guys can help me....

My boyfriend and I were discussing this a few nights ago, comparing Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins. In Dragon Age there isn't a voice actor who reads all of the main character's dialogue, so you're free to imagine how the PC speaks (upbeat and earnest, slow and deliberate, etc) but the game is slowed down as you must figure out the tone of each dialogue line. In Mass Effect there is a voice actor who reads all of the main character's dialogue, which reduces the options down to "nice response, neutral response, jerk response", but allows the game to be more fast-paced and cinematic.

So, how do you feel about giving the player's character a voice actor in Bioware RPGs? Is it unnecessary, or helpful?

Now that most of us have now seen and most likey played Modern Warfare 2, as an after thought, was it everything you hoped it would be? Lol.

Anyway, If you would like to share your thoughts on what things you were expecting, was it there? Some things you were suprised about. Anything that actually disappointed you, and just your overall thought.

I was disappointed that instead of fixing the 'noobtube' problem, they added one that now..., TA DA! Shoots SIX grenades, for 6 rounds! -_-

As if it wasn't already annoying in Search and Destroy.

I think I probably should have included a little more information in my previous entry about quitting WoW. I meant to gear it towards the fact I DID want to stop and wanted to know some better games that could pull my interest instead.

And I should probably explain a bit. XD I HATE doing all those runs on WoW. I generally didn't do many when I played anyway. Solo-ing is my thing and SOLO-ING isn't something that would turn me into a "no, i'm busy, gotta run a raid" recluse alone in my cellar. My addiction more revolved around the graphics and storyline and generally those useless "achievements" got me a little too drawn in. While I am a huge gamer, I am NOT one who has beaten every quest, gained every level, and locked every door in my house to play all day.

When I was asking about other, better games to play, I really meant the entry more as a request for better games that my time could be spent on and not complaining that I didn't know how to quit but wanted to quit, yada yada yada. I apologize to all of you, I realize I probably sounded like a nagging troll in the way I worded things.

As for all the recommendations and comments, there were SO MANY. Thank you!!! I really appreciate you all reading it and offering your advice. Steam demos and Dragon Age: Origins sound much more enjoyable and appraised to me now than WoW really has.

And just to tell a couple of you who mentioned my only having a little time to wait till I graduate or have time and money to play- I also was stupid and didn't mention that while I'm a senior in college at THIS institute, I may be relocating to Canada after I graduate and studying a year in Calgary. XD It didn't seem like something to mention in the earlier post, but I thought I might want to clear that up now. XD

Thanks again, everyone. Your feedback really helped.

What's the most you would pay for a very hard to find video game?

Okay people, seriously, I need you all to give me a reason NOT to start playing World of Warcraft again. Other than it's an expensive MMO cause that particular thought isn't really helping me get away from it AT ALL.

I've finally broken myself of the game, not refreshing my subscription and not playing for three months. But I just discovered the Wikipedia page for the next expansion World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and I WANT IT.

Blood Elf Warriors, new races, new plots... give me reasons not to play. A better MMO, a cheaper MMO, both(fantasy/rpg/adventure genre preferred), ANYTHING. I really don't want to get stuck on this game again. I'm a college senior- I can't afford the time and money it takes to play. But I WILL play if I don't find more reasons.

*Edit* Thanks for your help!


Does any1 know where I can download final fantasy sound files? Speficially the battle music from 7...

I don't know if anyone else has heard but, apparently Nintendo is releasing another DS next year called the DS XL. So far all that's been mentioned is bigger screens, bigger stylus,and some pre-downloaded wiiware. Unless they've added something big to it i have no real reason to buy another when i just bought a DSi last spring.
What's your opinion on the xl?

nintendo ds xl

more ds xl

So I'm sitting here wanting to play L4D2 and there's no friends on. Sad. So instead let's have a friending meme. Post your gamertag/system. I don't know how specifics go for PC so if anyone can enlighten me that would be awesome.


Instructions: Copy, paste, fill, plug, kill zombies
<i>Stats</i> <b>System/Gamertag: </b> <b>Played first L4D: </b> <b>Other games:</b>

I am in the process of downloading the left for dead demo on the 360, hope it's worth my time. I figure I can take some time out to play something other than Call of Duty! ha

I apologize if i missed the entry for this. Has anyone had a chance to play L4D2 yet? I'm getting mixed reviews so i'm not really sure if should buy it or not.

Being an art-school hopeful who wishes to get a career in concept art, I like art books. Love them. The only thing is that I actually only own one relating to video games (a tiny Persona 4 one) and I was hoping to purchase some more. Anyone have any recommendations? I know that many come with Special Editions but I believe there are a few that can be bought seperate. Speaking of Special Editions, the Bioshock 2 verison had a 164 page hardbound artbook chock full of developer commentary! *drools in ectstasy* I might just have to drop 99 bucks to get that and those lovely posters.

So art books? Any good ones? I am interest in perhaps the WoW and Fallout 3 artbooks but am I damn sure there are more out there.

I really like the special challenge of tactics games ... they're easily my 2nd favorite genre right behind RPGs.

But sometimes I get down to the last freaking enemy and my only character left is a healer and I get pissed.

What special things about special video games get you especially frustrated?

Hi people

I'm moving, and in the process selling some old DS games I don't play any more, and my pink DS Lite.
They're all in great condition. I'm selling the games for $10 each and the DS Lite for $85.

Games are:

Final Fantasy III
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Children of Mana
Star Fox Command
Brain Age
Big Brain Academy

For anyone who wants my DS Lite, I can throw in a DS car charger if you want it.


I'm also selling a couple GameBoy Advances with a bunch of accessories. I'll sell the whole GBA package for $25 (includes 2 GBAs, a magnifier with light attachment, 2 gba-gamecube link cables as well as gba multiplayer cable, and plastic GBA game cases). We bought these to play Crystal Chronicles on the Gamecube, and haven't used them since so they are in very good condition.

Let me know if any of you are interested!

:)
