  1. You should be able to find hundreds of FAQs online.

     

    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313348

     

    It's pretty easy. Put a Windows CD in your drive, reboot*, follow the prompts and select "delete all partitions". Install on the big blank one. Voila.

     

    * You may have to tell your PC to boot from the CD first, hard drive second, etc. Reboot and it should say "Push DEL to enter setup" or "Push F12 to enter setup", make the CD top of the boot order.


  2. You must play Banjo-Tooie. The first one is great, but Tooie is absolutely amazing!

     

    Space Station Silicon Valley is a great overlooked gem. It's a sort of platformer/puzzle game where you control a microchip that can possess all sorts of animals. If you like platformers, grab Rayman 2 (it's much better than any of the other games) and Donkey Kong 64 (provided you don't mind collecting heaps of stuff). Winback is anothe really nice title that got absolutely no recognition.

     

    And the obvious - Super Mario 64, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask.


  3. I've got a few GC or GBA games I'm looking to trade.

     

    I have:

    GameCube - 007 Nightfire, Viewtiful Joe, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Rayman 3, Pikmin, Burnout (all PAL)

    Gameboy Advance - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Mario & Luigi's Superstar Saga

    Nintendo DS - Bomberman DS

     

    I'll consider any offers (for Cube, PS2, Advance or DS), but just to trade, I'm not looking to sell.


  4. I'd have to say Knights of the Old Republic. Perfect balance between freedom and linearity, with a great battle system, interesting story and excellent character development. The light side/dark side system was a stroke of genius, too, meaning you have to play it at least twice to get the whole story -- and you can still replay it again and do things differently. I love it.

     

    Other notables - Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil remake, Golden Sun, The Wind Waker, Katamari Damacy


  5. I've only ever owned Nintendo consoles (GB, GBC, GBpocket, GBA, DS, SNES, N64, Cube) and a Sega (Mega-drive 2), but I just bought a cheap modded* PS2 and I'm unsure of what games to get.

     

    Can anyone recommend me some really great titles? I tend to like RPG/adventure games (but I dislike Final Fantasy due to the amount of cutscenes and bad gameplay) like Zelda, Breath of Fire, Earthbound, etc - and quirky games like Katamari and Rez.

     

    What I already own: We Love Katamari, Rez, Ultimate Spiderman, GTA:VC, AFL 2003

    What I want but can't find: Beyond Good & Evil, Code: Veronica, Super Monkey Ball DX

    What I'm unsure about because it sounds really interesting, but a little boring: Ico

     

    * To play my imported "We Love Katamari" which won't come out here in Aus, not warez


  6. I wouldn't like to see him as a character. He should have his own mode.

     

    Shigsy mode, sort of like the "Adventure" in SSBM. Miyamoto is in the background, and he draws enemies that come to life to attack you. Over time, he draws bigger enemies, he draws quicker, he uses 4 or 5 hands to draw multiple enemies at a time. It doesn't end, it just keeps getting harder. If you get high enough scores, you can unlock his bio and maybe an interview.
