    Any chance a new Quake game announced at QuakeCon?

    This updated version of Quake II is really good. I'm pretty happy with this overall package. I also think that it's great that they kept LAN play in it. I don't know why they took it out of Quake Remastered (Why remove the feature that made the first Quake as popular as it ever got?), but the...

    Games to Play with young kids

    de Blob is a fun one to play, and I'd say it's pretty suitable for kids. While there are two de Blob games, I think the first one is better. You add color into each level that you play in, and the soundtrack slightly changes depending on which colors you apply in the level. The soundtrack is...

    Steam Turns 18 YO Today - Rolled Out: Sept. 12 2003

    I've had my Steam account since... 2010 or 2011, somewhere in there. Of all things, what made me get it was Duke Nukem (Takes) Forever. Personally, I'm not a big Steam fan. I'd rather go with GOG.

    The Nintendo 64 Classic Could Be Arriving Soon

    Three things about this: 1. It has to have four controller ports. This leads to... 2. The stick has to be durable. I love the N64, and it's my favorite console of all time (I'm a PC gamer first though, and the C64 as well), but no one can deny that the analog stick was its achilles heel...

    Personal top 10 Games of all time!

    This was a lot harder than I thought. 1. The Duel: Test Drive II (C64) - Pushed the C64 hard, also had expansions. Kris Hatlelid did a hell of a job with the music, even though it's just one tune 2. Gunship (C64) - Trying to fly an Apache with a destroyed engine and a damaged rotor was a lot...

    What was the best console of all time

    I'm a Nintendo guy when it comes to consoles. 1. N64 2. GameCube 3. SNES 4. Wii / Wii U 5. NES I have a Genesis model 2 but I don't have any games for it, and I don't have an AV cable for it either. It's just gathering dust. I used to have an original XBOX and it was a decent system. The...

    Ever had a video game song make you emotional?

    I think gaming music can help show a variety of emotions. For example, the Noki Bay theme from Super Mario Sunshine makes me feel relaxed.. When adrenaline is rushing through me, the Action! music from Return to Castle Wolfenstein comes to my mind. If I'm really angry, the Central Park...

    DOOM Open Beta Details

    I installed it and played a few team deathmatch games. It's... really not that bad, but the loadouts need to go. Get rid of the persistent leveling system as well. That has no place in a Doom game. At least there isn't automatic regeneration of health and I applaud that. Game ran pretty...

    DOOM Official Multiplayer Trailer

    I plan on getting this, but... Wow. This announcer sounds like such a wuss. Bring back the Quake 3 announcer.

    Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. Just wanted to say that I tried using the code for the 850 EVO 2 TB SSD and it worked fine. It'll be my first SSD and I'm looking forward to it.
