    found my old Artari 2600

    I've got one of these, too, though it's not hooked up at the moment. The one my family had when I was little has since ceased operation, but the current one, lovely in wood-paneling, works really well! I'm just disappointed that I can't find a working copy of Demon Attack for it. I do have a...

    DSiXL

    I know that I don't need to upgrade from my Lite, but if I were going to get a DSi at this point, I think that I would choose the XL over the normal version, if only for a bigger canvas when I inevitably used Flipnote Studio. I think that with all of the text and creativity-heavy games on the...

    Pokemon Blue and Red

    I've just played with the ones my siblings have for a few minutes, so my impressions of it aren't too strong yet, but both of them really like it. The only complaint either of them has with it is that if you connect it after a day at school or after a day running around outside, it'll be exactly...

    PS2- Glitches In KOF Orochi Saga?

    Hello! Since this is a forum dedicated to the PS2 and PS3, I'm not totally sure if this is the proper place to ask things about a multi-platform game, but since it could be a console specific flaw, I thought this might be the best place. At any rate, I've had this collection for a while, and...

    Playstation Move

    I think that it looks nice enough, but I'm really not looking forward to this or Project Natal much. Some motion control games are fun, and it is implemented well in quite a few things, but right now, even on the Wii, it can still feel very gimmicky, especially considering all the rubbish that...

    Student survey PS3/Xbox360

    Good luck with your thesis! I wrote mine last year, but it was over English theater of the Renaissance, so I didn't have to do anything quite like this for it.

    How I got into gaming.

    I actually don't remember how I got into gaming, since it's just been something that's always there for me. My earliest memory of gaming, though, is that when I was learning to tie my shoes, I had to practice for 15 minutes before I was allowed to go into the back room and play Atari 2600 for a...

    PS2: My Platform of the Year

    I have to say that, to a substantial degree, I agree that the PS2 remains a more than viable console for my use, but for sort of a different reason. As a fan of obsolete 2D fighters with a love of disposable pop music, my continued usage of the PS2 is mostly because the lower cost games hitting...

    Mashiyu Entertainment?

    I'd been wondering about that, too, after getting a Game Jobs e-mail alert about their new job posting (though I didn't end up applying), so I just went to google and ran the same sort of searches that I usually do for things like that, and it looks pretty legitimate. For writing jobs, I've...

    Neo Geo Pocket Color

    I actually still use my NGPC on a really regular basis- I thought the fighting games for it were wildly ahead of their Game Boy counterparts, and the graphics, while not state of the art by today's standards, were cute, clearly represented each character, and on a less technical note, are...
