In terms of look and design I'd go for a 2/10, because I never really liked having a console that looks like a block of plastic. In terms of games it's probably a 9/10, because there were so many great GC games that I really loved. Off the top of my head I'd list Smash Bros Melee, Wind Waker...

Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, N64, Gamecube, Wii, PS2 (I've got 3 PS2 consoles, don't ask me why), XBOX, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PSP. They are all still working fine, or at least they were working when I checked them the last time. The most fascinating thing is probably one of the...

I'm gonna go ahead and ignore the obvious choice of Super Smash Bros, and instead go with my second favorite game for the N64, Diddy Kong Racing. Such an underrated game. I've always liked it a lot more than Mario Kart, since it was more action oriented, while even giving you a choice between 3...

I love to use emulators for netplay. Since I don't have that many friends, and those friends that I have live in other cities in my country, it is a great way to play some classic games together. The last emulated game I've played with my best friend was Diddy Kong Racing for the N64, and while...

I'd like to sign this. Dota 2 is one of the best games to play with friends, and since it's free you should give it a try. Another game I'd suggest (if you like RPG) is Kingdoms of Amalur. A great game, even though pretty unpopular. It was released like a month after Skyrim, so most people...

In terms of video game music there is not even a single game out there that could come close to the godlike music of Touhou. The soundtrack of Touhou is absolutely phenomenal in every game of the series.

I've played Osu obsessively for quite a while, but lost interest after becoming a good player. I think for the first 6 months I played it around 10-14 hours per day (was unemployed at that time), which was enough to get me into the top 1000. After that it turned into some kind of on/off game for...

Are there really people that don't know how to play chess? Personally, I love playing, even though I rarely get the opportunity to do so, since my friends are not interested in playing board games and I hate playing online. The only exception to this would probably be the chess even in World of...

Reading all those positive reviews from people that played Awakening really makes me want to get it. If only it wasn't that expensive, but 40€ is something I can't afford thanks to my other hobby.

My favorite is Call of Duty 1. It's actually the only CoD game I really enjoyed. I used to play it every single day, back when the game had an actual playerbase. Surprisingly enough, it had a nice and friendly community, which is what got me into the game. On my first day I even met a guy who...

Dude, Timesplitters 2 was a masterpiece. I always get furious when I see threads about "best/favorite Gamecube games" and no one knows about the Timesplitters games. Playing Timesplitters with friends is one of the best things ever, and it makes me kinda happy to see that you've had the...

Captain Falcon all the way. He was my main character in every Smash game, except for a span of ~3 months after Melee release in which I mainly played Roy. If you've ever played Captain Falcon you know the feeling of true satisfaction that comes from hitting other players with your fabulous knee...

I used to play the Quake browser game for quite a while. It was the best thing ever some years ago when I was still in school. Imagine playing some serious Quake matches with 3 of your classmates between lessons, that was just too great. Nowadays, I rarely play anything related to browser games...

This hugely depends on the game. I'd never pay 50€ for a single player shooter with ~6-8 hours of gametime value. On the other hand the price is perfectly fine for something like an RPG where you can easily play for 50-100+ hours per game. I'm more "resistant" when it comes to prices for games...

Didn't they already do those "mini-sales" the years before? Not necessarily for valentines day, but I seem to remember them having things like black friday and easter sales before. I do still like this sale though, even though I'm not going to buy anything. But as far as I know, this being a...
