    Upgrading my PC, Core i7 or Phenom II?

    I do a decent bit of video encoding, and I was unhappy with the speed of my E6600, so I knew that I was going to get a quad core processor no matter what. I'm leaning heavily towards an i7 because I don't want to upgrade my processor for 3 years at least, and the i7 seems to be the best choice...

    Upgrading my PC, Core i7 or Phenom II?

    I'm primarily upgrading my computer to play games with. I have a ATI Radeon 4870 512MB video card, and my monitor only supports 1680x1050 resolution so obviously I don't need as much graphics muscle as some people would. I currently have a Core 2 E6600 running on a low-end Gigabyte 965P Intel...

    Bioshock

    The game was incredible. The graphics are excellent, the sound and music blew me away, and there was tons of action as well as meaningful RPG elements and a great story. It is the first game in a while that I had this much fun playing a game, especially a FPS. I plan on playing through a...

    "Artsy" Wii? A Rant *spinoff

    It really depends on how he was considering art; e.g. if he was just referring to visual art, then his statements were 100% correct. The Wii simply cannot do some of the things that the PS3 and Xbox360 can do. No one can deny that the broadest definition of art certainly includes things...

    Phil Harrison's GDC keynote - Home, LittleBigPlanet & more

    If you want to oversimplify things, then I suppose that World of Warcraft can be summed up as dressing up your character, mindlessly slaughtering things, and chatting. And if that's all it was, then the game would not be what it is today. Home is a way to share experiences with others...

    Phil Harrison's GDC keynote - Home, LittleBigPlanet & more

    So basically you're basing your statements about premium content on absolutely nothing? Because, let's be honest, you're not with Sony, you don't know their business plans, and you're just throwing out a wild guess. Of course, I don't know Sony's business plan for this either, only what I've...

    A new XBox 360, three red lights, and a disgruntled friend.

    I have to agree with Skyring, no matter which console you get, there is a chance that it will be defective. If it's as trouble-free as simply taking it back to the store and getting a new one, I don't see the problem.

    Phil Harrison's GDC keynote - Home, LittleBigPlanet & more

    I didn't ask if it appealed to you, honestly I could care less if it does because people's opinions are subjective (just like most people could care less what my opinion is). My point is that it's well beyond what is offered elsewhere. Not everyone will care to use it, but there is no such...

    Phil Harrison's GDC keynote - Home, LittleBigPlanet & more

    I just want to say that I think a lot of people are vastly underrating Home and what it could become. For example, I could easily see this scenario happening one day after work: I come home, turn on the PS3, and load up Home. I appear in my virtual apartment and decide I'm tired of the...

    Twilight Princess vs. Okami, who stole from who?

    Now that this is pointed out, I can't believe I didn't notice it earlier... I do have to wonder if someone stole ideas from the other game, because this is much more than mere coincidence.

    New Oblivion PS3 Screens + Info

    When I first got Oblivion for the PC, the distant LOD textures stuck out like a sore thumb to me, along with how flat a lot of the textures in the game were and how ugly a lot of the people in the game looked. So for me, the difference between the PS3 version and X360 version is huge and easily...

    Clover Studios (Okami, Viewtiful Joe) closed...

    Great news!!! I really hope they get some good funding from one of the major players in the industry, I love their games.

    How the hell could Sega get so big

    Did you just say that Top Gun sucked geekcomputing???!!!!!! I spent so much time playing that game, it was one of my favorite games ever. I do think that with newer games, the fun has been taken out of the game and has been replaced by fancy graphics, storylines which are sometimes good but...

    Your greatest in-game challenge?

    I have two... Beating the Hades Cup in one go without dying on hard difficulty mode. (The fight against 4 FF characters at once was brutal!!!) Being ranked in the top 5 in the world in Jedi Knight on the PC at one point. (Saber duels only)
