    Do you think games are worth their current retail price?

    And let's put it another way: I live in Greece. Here the minimum wage is, dunno how much it fell (again) lately, possibly around 400 - 500 euros. Dollars are usually translated to more Euros, making things even more expensive than in the good 'ole US of A. Where, how much did we say the minimum...

    Journey

    @petrushka @glen As good as it was, problem (from my point of view) is that it doesn't hold a candle to, say, Ico. Similarly it's a "silent" game, where the journey itself is what matters. Difference is that with Ico you're actually getting your money's worth, with a proper game that lasts quite...

    Do you think games are worth their current retail price?

    Gaming is more expensive than ever if you're a teenager who wants to play the latest games his friends play, and also get the best versions of them - the collector's editions, the uber-full-packages with-all-them DLCs and whatnot. If you're a bit older, and don't rush into things, gaming's...

    Your top PC games of all time?

    I've been playing for the better part of the last 27 years, so I lived through many "revolutions" and "revelations" in PC gaming. Half-Life, as mentioned, was one of the most important titles - for reason's a younger gamer won't be able to easily understand. It's not just that it's good as a...

    Journey

    Nah, you're probably missing on its best thing - just like I did, and still do: multiplayer. It was said that Journey's multiplayer was the best experience, since you were suddenly joined by another "live thing" in the distance, among its vacant desserts, going on your Journey together. I never...

    Top choices for PS3 games?

    @GamerMonkey I think it doesn't have as many jRPGs as it could have. I mean, the most prominent ones can be counted on the fingers of one hand, if I'm not mistaken. If someone likes jRPGs, he'd be better off with a PS2 - now, THAT'S where a heck of a lot of jRPGs were released! @Mika Just buy...

    Still Playing PS2?

    I've got a problem: I WANT to play with my PS2, but I can't. I can't since I saw PCSX2 running on my PC, upscaling all games to 1080p, running most of them almost-fine. It's just a better experience to the "pure" PS2, so if you can run your games through your PC and this emulator, it's worth it...

    Top 3 Exclusive PS3 Games

    1. Uncharted 2. 3 was a mess compared to its narrative and fell into more cliches. 2. The Last of Us. Only game I restarted immediately after finishing it in the last 5 years. Twice. 3. Heavy Rain. 'cause there's nothing, absolutely nothing like it out there. And Like Uncharted 3 compared to...

    PS Vita TV

    @TonyMHFan Wait, so, let me get the facts: let's say you've got a Vita TV. You don't have any games. You visit some store and see a section with "normal" Vita games. Is there a way to know if they'll work on your Vita TV? Sorry, don't have a Vita, don't have a Vita TV, so I'm trying to...

    @TonyMHFan Whatever man, I'm sorry, I don't want to argue with you - we both have our different opinions. I've mentioned that, from my point of view, from my perspective, and if you compare it to all past consoles we've seen up to now, PS Vita has the most anemic library. You say that this isn't...

    PS Vita TV

    @TonyMHFan Another question: when you say "supported physical vita cartridges", you mean it can't play all catridges in Vita's collection? Aaaand another one: was the whole "streaming part" about all other PlayStations, or does it actually have native compatibility for PS1 and PS2 titles? It...

    @TonyMHFan Whatever man, I'm not into the mood for fanboy fights with no reason at all. It's as you say it is. Vita has a better library than the other consoles available, has better hardware specs and it's actually the best system to own. Happy? You've won the world and saved the universe...

    PS Vita TV

    @TonyMHFan I didn't know that it supported ALL PS Vita titles you'd already bought. So, if you've got a bunch of games on memcards for it, you can use them all on it? I thought it ONLY supported stuff you'd bought "digitally". Apart from that, I still think the PS3 is the better choice. From a...

    End of 2014 Discussion

    @TonyMHFan Are you seriously comparing Vita's collection to, say, a PS3's collection of titles? I mean, just from the titles you mentioned, there are better versions of Uncharted, Dead or Alive, Wipeout, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, Persona, Lumines and Assassin's Creed on the PS Vita. So, what...

    Are you talking about "that cash-grab by Nintendo for the Wii U that will ONLY work with Smash Bros"? :-P

    PS Vita TV

    Er... No. PS Vita TV is, from what I know, at the time, strictly a "PS4 extender" and compatible with SOME PSP and PSOne titles released by Sony. It doesn't have (yet?) access to the full library of those consoles. So, you'd be actually paying to buy "a machine" that a) works in conjuction with...

    Are we hiding from ourselves the fact that PS Vita doesn't have a big collection of titles? And no, don't tell me "that doesn't matter 'cause it's got title X". It does matter. Because when you have 10 titles on the Vita and 2 of them are great, if you have 100 on the 3DS you've got potentially...

    Retro Console Controllers You Liked The Most

    @YunaKazama26 It's strange that I feared I'd... er... "meet the same fate as you" with my Xbox 360, but somehow the different buttons instantly "clicked" for me. I dunno, maybe my mind subconsciously "mapped" the different markings to the "positions" of them (that are the same on both joypads)...

    Steam Auctions

    Sorries but, now that it's over, what's the point of "crushing" your cards to get gems to create "booster packs" that... Er... Don't "booster packs" actually give you drops of three cards? So, as it is now, they suggest you destroy 10, 20, maybe even 50 of the items you've got on your inventory...

    Do you like single player or multi player content better?

    @Catalyst64 Well, not that I've played it, but new games like Destiny and Titanfall are trying to present some kind of "campaign story" in their multiplayer action, and there are always cases like Dark/Demon's Souls as well, that "mix" multiplayer with single player during their typical...
