Hopefully it hits Canada soon. I'd like to do a bit more PC gaming and they have crazy deals on Steam. I would just rather use one of these cards than use my credit card or buy a prepaid Mastercard or Visa. It's always nice to have more options for getting games to players, and it will be easier for giving gifts to…

I love my PSP. I bought the red/black one with the God of War bundle last year after the price drop. There are some great games and I use the remote play feature with my PS3 often. I prefer buying physical games over digital for handhelds and consoles. That said, pricing for PSP games has been a pain, especially at…

I've got a few PS3 demos queued up to try: Skullgirls, Dragon's Dogma and The Walking Dead. I'll also be switching off between another run of Mass Effect 2 and playing Final Fantasy Tactics for the first time on PSP. I've never played a tactics game so I thought I'd give this one a shot.

Some have thought about doing this sort of thing: [en.wikipedia.org]

I've seen that look with my kids. That's just before the console gets put away in the closet for awhile. Go outside, kids!

I admit that since I was a kid when it came out, I played this a LOT. It would be a fitting punishment for today's generation, though. Maybe combine it with an extended stretch of E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial if it's a serious case of addiction?

I used to play pretty much any time that I wanted as a kid, but I also liked playing outside and reading, etc., so there were never any problems. When tantrums started happening with my kids, that's when we had to switch to a schedule. They can only play during certain times of the day during the week, and no games on…

The 3DS is at a much more comfortable price point these days and is better positioned to grab someone that is thinking of picking up a DS model. Sony is either going to have to bite the bullet like Nintendo did on a price drop, if not for the system, then definitely on the memory cards. People say "$250/$299 for the…

This sums it up perfectly. I was around five or six years old when the first film came out and it was like nothing I had ever seen before, and crazy things like light cycles and the recognizers just blew me away. When I took my then-five year old to see Tron: Legacy, he came out of it with that same "wow" look on his…

It pains me to watch clips of that game now, but back in the day, I can't believe the amount of money I pumped into that game at the arcades. Then I put even more time into the console versions. Those were the days...

I can never turn away from a Twilight Zone marathon. I love that episode as well. If someone were to take it on again, you'd really have to get some skilled writers to put that together. Plus, I think if it's done again it should be in black and white :)

This is perfect. I just got into the Fallout series (Fallout 3) a couple of months ago and was interested in starting at the beginning. So now I can get this game and a lot of freebies with it. Nice!

I agree with you. Even a simple epilogue (either text-style like Dragon Age or extended cutscenes) to explain what happened after Shepard made the choice (like why one of my squadmates somehow ended up on the Normandy) will shore up the ending for me. I wasn't one of the people storming the gates after the ending…

It's pretty crazy. We just got the game about a month ago, so it's been a scramble to try to get some of the figures. We've got 15 of them so far so that's not too bad, I guess. Store exclusives are pretty crappy for this kind of thing. I think the game and all is neat, but I don't like artificial supply and demand…

Thank you for the info. It looks interesting. I'm going to download it and check it out :)

As bad as the backlash has been, Bioware is setting themselves up to really crash and burn if whatever they announce isn't up to par for those who hated the ending. Saying statements like (from ME producer Michael Gamble) "if you people knew all the stuff we are planning" will either have people waiting patiently or…

I applaud your idea. I've had many of the consoles and a few of the handhelds that have come out over the course of my life. I have gone towards emulators to get some of the magic back but it just isn't the same (to me) when you don't have the actual hardware. I'm going to have to raid Ebay one day and build up my…

Those are fine memories to have :)

Oh, the hours spent on "Combat" and "Yars' Revenge"...
