    A ton of Sega Genesis games on the cheap on Amazon!

    Even though the collection is no longer for sale under the price mentioned by the OP, I will chip in here and agree with Aladar. Take it as a warning for anyone who is going to buy any of these games. The steam emulated versions are poorly emulated, with a lot of problems. Sound bugs out often...

    What game do you have the most hours on?

    Excluding World of Warcraft that I used to play (until WotLK), I must go with Terraria. I have spent over 600 hours on this game. 600 hours of actual gaming, mind you. These do not include idling and fooling around with anything other than the game itself. As excessive as it may sound, of...

    How do you define a retro game?

    I had this very interesting discussion today with a couple of friends, and we talked about all the games we currently play. Many modern titles were mentioned and a some older ones as well. When it came to the older ones one of them said he was in the mood for some retro gaming. So, he played...

    Do you prefer the pc version of games over the console?

    Most of the times I prefer to game on my PC. That is mainly because it is always connected to my TV, thus eliminating the main advantage consoles have. I can't stand knowing that there is a better, technically, version available and I am playing the inferior one. Of course, if I had a PC that...

    Top choices for PS3 games?

    There are actually tons of great PS3 games to play on the system. As a matter of fact, I could probably write down more than 20 of must play titles without even thinking twice about it. I will not though, and since there are already many titles that have been mentioned before my post, I will add...

    Do you think media causes violence?

    I do not believe there is a direct association between the exposure to media violence and the actual act of it. That being said, there is definitely in my eyes a link between the exposure to violence and the response we get when the exposed individual comes to face a violent situation, either by...

    What game stands the test of time?

    I still play Master of Magic every now and then. In my eyes it is an unsurpassed feat of sheer gameplay genius, even more so after all the failed attempts by many modern games to fully capture its glory. There is something about it that rings just right in my ears. I would be more than happy to...

    Favorite video game music?

    Criminally overlooked is the incredible main theme of Slipheed. Particularly the MS-DOS version (the one I played and still own) was amazing in all its MT-32 glory. The game itself was an awesome shoot 'em up, tight controls and very nice art direction. As a runner up I may mention another...

    What is the very first video game you remember playing...

    This is such an interesting question. Not only does it bring back warm and fuzzy memories of a time period when video games truly seemed like magic to me (I mean, real magic. That's how it seemed to me back then), but it also hurts a bit because it makes me feel old. :/ Anyway, even though I...
