    Am I the Last Gamer in the World...

    That's more or less exactly what I was going to say. I'm not a huge fan of competitive multiplayer, although once in a while a game catches my fancy (Warhawk is quite a bit of fun in multiplayers, but I rarely like FPS in multiplayer). Co-op and Singleplayer (and same console offline...

    Yakuza 3

    Is this supposed to be based on Musashi Miyamoto from history? What the Samurai Trilogy movies are based on? (with Toshiro Mifune - super movies, btw!) Those are three of my favorite movies, so if this is even somewhat based on the story of Miyamoto's life, then I'm definitely very interested!

    Bioshock: Anyone think it's overrated

    I thought Bioshock fully deserved the scores it's gotten. There haven't been many games I thought were actually overrated and I can only think of a couple from the last year or so. There's lots of games that are underrated though!

    Is the 40GB PS3 model using 65nm?

    Anyone notice the weight is slightly less too? It's only 4.4kg instead of ~5kg. You can't account for that by losing some USB ports. If Shifty is right about the power draw being less... then it would point to a cooler running version -- chip shrink and less heatsink?

    40GB PS3 to hit Japan for 39,980 Yen with a ceramic white model on Nov. 11

    I wish SCEA liked colors more... It appears we (NA) have to wait for the 12th for our announcement.

    New Heavenly Sword Info (screens included)

    This game really does continue to impress me -- you guys have some really wicked artists (I absolutely love the art style and drawn art I've seen from the game). Story looks great. Music sounds fantastic (from the bits I've heard). Graphics look fantastic (technically and artistically)...

    PSP P in september

    I'm surprised there wasn't already a thread on it (although this section is generally pretty quiet). - Video out - Longer battery life while using a smaller battery (1200mA battery vs 1800mA, so a likely few chip shrinks) - Faster load times - $199 in entertainment pack with game/movie and...

    E3 Nintendo Conference Thread

    Completely bizarre how Wii (conference, at least) is arguably the biggest disappointment this E3 for gamers on the internet. It's as if the general press saw a different E3 conference than the gamers did and even enthusiast press. Kind of sick of this casual/non gaming binge the industry and...

    E3 Sony Conference Thread

    I don't understand why both PS3 and 360 have to have such a low limit on the number of downloads in the queue (360 being the worse offender). 360's was especially annoying yesterday (6 in queue? wtf!), but not being able to add all the videos released today on PSN isn't any less annoying...

    First Killzone screenshot/details? So says USAToday..

    Pretty sexy looking. Different than I expected, but also a bit better. I really like the gritty feel. I hope Brian Cox does the voice of the leader of the helghast again (or did he die in the PSP version -- didn't get around to finishing that one)... He was perfect.

    Blue Dragon Demo up on XBL

    Well, I played for about 20 minutes -- I got to some boss and quit because I didn't want to ruin anything for myself upon a real play through... Definitely going to buy it. It's a beautiful game... simple, but what's on the screen is wonderful -- I don't know if it's just that area of the...

    E3 Microsoft Conference Thread

    Conference was weak as far as new information goes, it seems... Some quality titles this year for sure, but we already knew about them. It's hard to complain when the the line-up this year is already pretty good (I think both 360 and PS3 have an excellent winter line-ups -- more concerned...

    HDMI switchbox experiences?

    From what I've heard the HDMI switchers from monoprice are pretty nice -- seems to be the most common recommendation as far as switchers go (that I've seen at least).

    The Agency - PS3 MMO.

    The guy in charge of that project doesn't even work there anymore... Much of the silly design was his mastermind (which is completely odd, because the guy wrote some books on game design that weren't bad at all from what I recall). And apparently EQ2 is quite a good MMO now days (from what...

    SCE Joins Stanford's Folding@home Program (B3D ID=32377)

    With 1.8 firmware it doesn't happen anymore for me... The monitor can be off and it'll still start up for me. I'm not sure if others have realized it (and mentioned it in other threads -- too much to read!) but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.
