Wow, what a fun game! I've only played for about an hour, 30 minutes of which was online (hosted by the gracious and conniving Ruffneck :)...but my early review is that this game kicks serious a**. The online play is unbridled insanity, mayhem at it's best. The cities are full of destrucable...

I apologize if there's a thread about this topic already, but it's a difficult thing to search for. I'm curious what movies really affected other HTFers as kids (preferably seen in theaters and not on TV). I'm specifically not asking about movies that have stood the test of time (although...

So MC II is coming for the PS2 on April 8 and for the Xbox on May 27. In general, I prefer to get games for the Xbox due to it's power and the fact that nearly every game is in progressive. However, being the impatient, impulsive gamer that I am, I'm not sure how I will be able to wait ~6 weeks...

Well, I'm not going to be real eloquent or complete here because I'm quite tired from a busy day. My very early impression is that Colin McRae 3 is a freaking blast. Just a joy to drive, a really sweet combination of arcade and sim handling, with really nice visual feedback; from the way the car...

Can anyone recommend a website with the most complete list of upcoming games and release dates? The dates don't need to be dead-on accurate (doesn't seem possible anyway), just a reliable list. This is for consoles. I'm interested in North America, but any region would be useful for others.

So this here article suggests that MS is about to buy Connectix. The article focuses on Connectix virtual server technology as the reason why. But as we all know, Connectix also made the Virtual Game Station PS1 emulator. If I recall, they won a lawsuit filed by Sony because they were able to...

I was just watching an IMAX DVD "Hail Columbia!" about the Space Shuttle Columbia, very sad to watch now that it's gone. The DVD is part of a set of IMAX DVDs called the "Space Collection" which I own. What I'd like to find is some IMAX DVDs with more (or entirely) scenes of Earth shot from...

OK, this is a weird complaint, but has anyone else noticed how lame escalators are in terms of reliability? I commute via subway every day (I live in San Francisco), and it never ceases to amaze me how often escalators fail. At least once a week, an escalator in either of the stations I...

I've been an SBC (via PacBell in california) DSL customer for a few years. Lately I've ben getting emails (spam) and snail-mail asking me to 'upgrade' for free to SBC/Yahoo. They claim that everything about your account will stay the same, same pricing, same email adress, etc. In addition...

FYI, I just found a post over at the official WRC website which quoted an email from Evolution Studios:

Is anyone else seriously looking forward to this? M.C. was one of the first games I got for the PS2, and I really liked the gameplay (capture the flag mode is a blast), although the graphics and car handling were a bit too simplistic for my taste...but it seems that Rockstar is determined to...

I've gotten completely stuck in MP, I've tried about 15 times to get past the Mama Sheegoth, but I absolutely cannot kill it. I've gotten to know how she moves so well, that I can dance around the room for days without getting hurt, but I can't bring her down!! I read some FAQs that basically...

I'm about ready to buy a GameBoy Advance, but I have a few questions about it. My main motivation is so I can get an island in Animal Crossing ;-) -- not that I haven't considered getting a GBA in the past...but AC tipped the scales. First, what are the absolute best games? I'm not really...

I just got a Home Theater Master MX-500 remote, so far the setup has been smooth, it's very easy to program, but I've run into one roadblock. In order to power-up my projector, you have to hold the power button down for about 3-4 seconds...but I can't figure out how to make the MX-500 send a...

Extremetech has a review of a few projectors, from Dec 12th: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...,758173,00.asp I post it here because they specifically mention gaming performance as one of their criteria.

NASA has kindly created a gallery of satellite images available on the web. Many of them are quite impressive and beautiful, and all are available as high-resolution ~20MB TIFF (compressed, some are 40MB+ uncompressed) files. Here's a quite from the site:

Found this article linked from slashdot. It's about a theater in San Diego that's converting to a gaming 'arena' .

I finally got fed up with the endless tangled cable mess eminating from where my consoles sit (they are all near each other on a shelf), so in a fit of retail therapy, I bought a wireless controller for each system. For the Gamecube, the choice was easy, the Wavebird is made by Nintendo so the...

I'm going to take my projector along with me for Christmas when my family gets together. I'd like to find a game or two that everyone might like. I'm thinking about Monopoly Party, does anyone here have that? Any other recommendations would be welcome. I have the 3 'main' consoles, so I'm...

First off, I'm posting this message because it's clear from my few weeks being here that there are a variety of very enthusiastic gamers on this forum. I run a forum of my own (78 users strong :) ) for a PC and Mac game called 'Tranquility'. It's probably unlike any game you've played. I...

Currently my PS2 is connected to my LT260 projector via s-video, my other two consoles are connected via component. I haven't bothered to look for a PS2 component adapter because so few of the games run in progressive. But one of the things I noticed with the Xbox and GC when I moved to...

I've noticed that the US ship date for CMR3 seems to have slipped back to March...what's up with that? It's out in Europe, so I assume this has nothing to do with coding difficulties...why in the world would they delay it until after Christmas?

I recently entered the world of HDTV by getting an NEC LT260 projector. I'm curious about ways to maximize lamp life. Here's a situation where my question comes from: A few times, I've been using the projector, and the time comes to have dinner...which might take 30 minutes to finish. Is it...

I'm fairly new to big screen gaming. After borrowing a DLP projector from work, I decided that I needed to own one. A little over a week ago I got an NEC LT260 DLP (which I am extremely happy with) I'm noticing a trend in some games which I'm curious if others have noticed. In most racing...

Can anyone recommend some good puzzle games, such as Tetris, only fresher? This is specifically for Xbox, PS2 or GC. I tried Zoocube for the GC, I thought it was OK, certainly original, but it didn't hook me. I've heard both good and bad regarding Super-Bust-A-Move2. I'd even consider...
