  1. CUBE Magazine Discontinued

    Shame to see the number of Nintendo magazines dwindling, yet we seem to have 5 or 6 magazines popping up for the Xbox 360, a console which doesnt have a user base yet.
  2. Best "non-violent" games for GC?

    Super Monkey Ball 2!
  3. Best PC game ever?

    My favorite PC games in no particular order... - Doom - Duke Nukem 3D - Day of the Tentacle - Dune II: Battle for Arrakis - Sam and Max Hit the Road - Full Throttle - X-Com - UFO Enemy Unknown - Civilization I-IV - No One Lives Forever 2 - Raptor: Call of the Shadows
  4. Starcraft: Ghost Canned

    Shame to see the Cube lose another game, but I don't see it as a huge loss as its not being developed by Blizzard anyway and might turn out crap.
  5. Games worth getting?

    I recommend Ikaruga... http://www.simplygames.com/product.asp?id=4120
  6. ati radeon x800gt

    I've had a Sapphire Radeon X800 GT 256MB for about a month now, excellent card, runs F.E.A.R pretty well with most of the settings up high, very good card for about £100. Only problem with the Sapphire is the tiny noisy fan which spins at a ridiculously fast speed and sounds like a hoover, I had to fork out £15 for a VGA silencer and now its dead quiet. As Jack said, the GTO2 model which Sapphire make is apparantly 100% guaranteed to flash to a X850 XT PE according to loads of reviews, you might have some trouble finding one though as everyone is after them and not many places seem to stock them. Also, if you're getting an X800 GT make sure you get the 256MB version, the 128MB version uses bog standard GDDR1 running at 700MHz whereas the 256MB version uses 980MHz GDDR3 for about an extra £10.
  7. RE4 Expansion Pack

    Maybe they could release it on Players Choice with the extras from the PS2 version, after all RE4 probably sold well enough to become players choice, its been out for the best part of a year and then it'd only be £20 so people who've already paid £40 for the game wouldnt be so peeved.
  8. E3 2006

    I predict new versions or a sequel to Nintendogs with different breeds, more items, more contests and stuff, or maybe a Nintendogs game for the Revolution.
  9. Intelligent Cube was released as Kurushi in Europe, I've got a demo of it somewhere on a disc which came with my Playstation when I got it back in 1997, quite fun if frustrating. I rented Another World for the Megadrive once many years ago, graphically I thought it was amazing at the time. Used to have Vagrant Story, but flogged it along with most of my Playstation games for a pretty low price which I kinda regret now as its probably gone up in value a bit.
  10. So I passed my driving theory...

    I passed my theory first time (33/35, cant remember the hazard perception score), it was pretty easy given that all the questions that came up on the test were identical to the ones I was revising on my practice CD.
  11. Recommend me some music, breres.

    Whenever Oasis release a new album people say its shit compared to their old stuff, but thats because Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory were 2 of the best albums of the 90's. Don't Believe the Truth is quite a good album by itself, it's just all the reviews compare it against Definitely Maybe which its obviously never going to match. Anyways, I recommend Get Behind Me Satan by the White Stripes, been listening to it since it came out monthes ago and it's still great to listen to while on the bus.
  12. Worth buying a Dreamcast?

    Buy it, Dreamcast is by far the best console ever made, If you're looking for some good games for it I recommend... - Virtua Tennis - Virtua Tennis 2 - Metropolis Street Racer - Jet Set Radio - Daytona USA 2001 - F355 Challenge - Crazy Taxi - Soul Calibur - Shenmue - Shenmue 2 - Skies Of Arcadia - Grandia 2 - Sonic Adventure - Sonic Adventure 2 - Rez (Very hard to find, possibly the rarest PAL game apart from Samba De Amigo, created by Tetsuya Mizuguchi) - Ikaruga (Jap) - Propellor Arena (Officially never released due to 9/11 but can be downloaded from certain sites)
  13. How Good is your comp?

    My System... -Tagan 480 Watt Dual Fan PSU -Super Flower Rhythmic Black Case -Gigabyte GA-K8NE Socket 754 NForce 4 -Athlon 64 3000 - 2.0GHz (Newcastle Core) with Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 -1024MB DDR 400 RAM -80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM -Sapphire Radeon X800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI-E -SB Audigy 2 -16x AOpen DVD-RW Drive -52x/32x/52x Samsung CD-RW Drive -Floppy Drive (w00t) -Hansol 920P 19" CRT -Cheapo Kinyo Woofer & Speakers 3DMark05 Score = 4096 "Your system is among the top 10% of all systems scanned by the Game Advisor." Next Upgrade - VGA Silencer to replace the crap, noisy cooler on the Sapphire X800GT, and a 160 or 200GB Hitachi SATA Drive.
  14. http://media.putfile.com/POPStation2 I want one of these :wink: , maybe I'll find one in Poundland.
  15. erm no! One-play DVDs

    Sounds like a crap idea, much like music downloads, they wont stop piracy.
  16. The Best Gaming Music Ever.

    http://www.igromania.ru/music/?jsrfost'>http://www.igromania.ru/music/?jsrfost http://www.igromania.ru/music/?jsr Kinda not legal but its probably quite hard to find the original soundtrack CDs anyway.
  17. The Best Gaming Music Ever.

    Some of my favorite videogame soundtracks (in no particular order)... - Jet Set Radio - Jet Set Radio Future - Skies of Arcadia - Final Fantasy VII - Vagrant Story - Grandia - NiGHTS Into Dreams - All the Megadrive and Game Gear era Sonic music
  18. Virgin offers sub-£50 PS2s

    Tsk, bloody London.
  19. Marmite anyone?

    I love Marmite, I have it every day on toast and in sandwiches. Nice on bagels as well .
  20. Sonic Gems Collection Release?

    If it's £20 or less I might buy this just to play Sonic The Fighters.
  21. Your top 5 songs of the moment

    1 - White Stripes - My Doorbell 2 - White Stripes - The Denial Twist 3 - Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To 4 - Foo Fighters - DOA 5 - Oasis - Turn Up The Sun
  22. Favourite Retro Console?

    My favorite retro console is a tie between the Game Gear and the Dreamcast (if you can call the Dreamcast retro).
  23. what consoles do you own ?

    Master System II Mega Drive II Game Gear Saturn Playstation Dreamcast Gamecube DS Used to have an ancient BBC Micro in the loft, but I think we got rid of it.
  24. Snatcher is supposed to be good, it was created by Hideo Kojima, I think there was a good Shining Force or Lunar game as well.
  25. Infra red

    I thought the controllers were using WiFi.
