Thanks so much for the info guys! I really appreciate the detailed posts, everyone! Thing is, I already have a PS2 Slim hooked up to an HDTV running through component. My fixation on the BC PS3 is a bit of an odd one, honestly, because I really have no need for it, but I've always been curious to se...

Hey there! I've been shopping around for PS3 models to buy, and the backwards compatible PS3 model (I'll refer to them as BC PS3's from this moment) really piques my interest. anyways, here are my questions: >Is the emulation good? I read that there were two different kinds of BC PS3's, which use ha...

I just managed to get my Gamecube, PS2, & Xbox running in HD through component. Gamecube through the Wii w/Component cables, PS2 through Component cables, and the Xbox through the HD Component Box. As a bonus, I have them running off of an early HDTV, which I lovingly refer to as an HD CRT. You ...

I have a random gaming thought. Who are the gamers? us, or the video game companies? I mean, we're pretty much just a 24/7 strategy game for them, and not even a relatively easy one, like Pikmin. Nah, something hard, like Civ III on the hardest difficulty with a nuke-happy Gandhi. As games steer mor...

I was just talking about this on a Facebook group. This year has been amazing so far! So many games for so many different types of gamers. There's truly something for everyone this gen, whether you play more casual games, Open World titles, Fighting Games, Retro games, or Indies, there have been a l...

Madagascar for the Gamecube (and other consoles) Is a surprisingly good game. The main quest is okay, but the real fun is in the "Tiki Minigolf" Mini-game. It has 9 courses, and can be played by up to 6 people, which makes it amazing for family get-togethers. If you see it for cheap, it's ...

Favorite Platform? Tie between PS3/360. Wii had some greats too, like Mario Galaxy & Skyward Sword, though. Also, I'm not a big portable guy. Best Graphics? PS3: Uncharted 3 or The Last of Us. Xbox 360: Sonic Generations, probably. Wii: Zelda: Skyward Sword. Favorite Game? PS3: Uncharted 2. 360:...

I don't know about parking, but the Gran Turismo games are very, very realistic when it comes to physics, so you could try one of those.

I really hate to be that guy, but... What do we mean by innovation in this context? Lol, sorry! I wasn't clear enough on the definition. What i mean is a game which, regardless of popularity, made a substantial impact on game design, and was an all-around creative game. If a game changed an entire ...

While not a great game, nor one "hardcore" gamers would consider - Wii Sports was very innovative. That game, almost by itself, sold many systems to many different gamers. Good point! I totally forgot to mention this. To the others in the thread, I say that Wii Sports is actually very inn...
