  1. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Anyone planning on buying the game? I understand that a demo of the game is available in the NA eshop, why isn't it available in the PAL region I wonder. I like to try before I buy.
  2. The Android Thread

    It would be rude not to. Broken Sword is one of my favourite point-and-click adventures of all time and I'm sure the Android version will be enjoyable too. Can't believe all the great games/applications available on Google Play, especially the 25 cents offers running at the moment. Brilliant.
  3. The Android Thread

    Chrome is a nice, speedy browser indeed. Firefox users who are used to using the excellent 'keyword' feature for bookmark shortcuts can do the same in Chrome. Here's a little tutorial.
  4. Well OK, fair enough if it didn't convince you to believe and have faith in the system hehe. I tried.
  5. The Android Thread

    Thanks for the heads-up. I duckduckgo:ed it and it does seem that an upgrade will be rolled out for Samsung phones soon(ish): GALAXY Tab 2 7.0 & 10.1, GALAXY Note 10.1, GALAXY SII, GALAXY Note, GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus, GALAXY S Advance, GALAXY SII LTE, GALAXY Music, GALAXY Chat, GALAXY Ace 2, GALAXY Beam, GALAXY Ace Plus, GALAXY mini II and GALAXY S DUOS.
  6. Alright, first thing first. Take a deep breath and relax. Now take another deeeep breath. There, feeling better? While I can't be sure, here's what I think is going on (I worked in logistics for over ten years): The nice chap at the post office already told you that the parcel isn't being tracked because it would cost extra. Probably, the parcel has already arrived at the repair centre by now. The reason why your 3DS hasn't been registered with a repair id (or repair tracking number) is most likely because it won't be registered until a technician opens your parcel and investigates the device. Depending on the size of the repair centre and the amount of repairs, it might take days, or even weeks until it's time for your 3DS to be taken care of - it will happen sooner or later in the order they arrive I'm sure. Or maybe the postal service and repair centre both suck and you can forget about my ensuring message and begin to worry about shelling out money for a new 3DS.
  7. The Android Thread

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I've been away from the smartphone market for a few years so have/had some catching up to do. I decided to go for the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 model because of the relative low price (€250) and the ability to play video games. It comes with OS 2.3.6 Gingerbread and I'm not sure whether it's possible to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) at this point. What I've read so far about ICS vs Gingerbread though hasn't made me feel like I'm losing out on anything significant and I'm sure I'll be able to tweak the standard settings to my liking if need be. Anyway, are there any good Android websites for gaming reviews and news articles, and what games do you recommend? Thanks again.
  8. The Android Thread

    Thanks for the suggestion, but isn't that a tablet? I'm looking for a smartphone that will fit in my pocket and that I can use as my main phone as well as playing games on it. Why are the ones I listed crap if the requirements for the games I want seem to be OK? Are the processors too slow or something else? Am I fooling myself into thinking that any of the above-mentioned phones will be sufficient for playing games which require android 2.3 or less? If so, which (smartphone) model do you guys suggest as a minimum? Thank you.
  9. The Android Thread

    Hi guys. I need a bit of advise here. I am contemplating getting an Android phone. I first and foremost need it for gaming, but wouldn't mind being able to watch videos, access youtube and use Skype as well. The games I'm interested in all seem to work with android 2.3 or below. I'd like to begin with an affordable Android phone to see if smartphone gaming is for me at all so I've been narrowing it down to a few phones and hope someone here will be able to give me some piece of advice or maybe even suggest me another Android phone as long as it's in the same price range as the others. The candidates are: HTC Explorer Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 Samsung Galaxy Gio Thanks in advance for any help.
  10. OUYA

    I don't know much about the current smartphone market since I'm not using smartphones anymore (or at least for the time being), but isn't OUYA using the same concept as seen on the Android Market; try for free, pay if you like? So maybe they've analysed the market and estimated that there will be enough users who're willing to pay for full games, or OUYA will get their main income by selling hardware only, or maybe they're just hoping it'll become a success one way or the other. I don't know. Was just curious why you think it'll be doomed even before it has taken off. Looks like they have lots of support from gamers and developers alike.
  11. OUYA

    If I was to buy a new home console system, this would be it. I am very intrigued indeed and will wait and see how the final product turns out. I'm especially looking forward to see if the whole experience will be the same for Europeans and others as well since it's a North American product and I'm a bit hesitant to believe that we will get the same amount of services here that are apparently on offer in the US. But definitely interested in this thing.
  12. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed 3DS

    OK, I will admit I don't know much about the upcoming free phone version other than I read it's free to try and then you'll have to pay in order to unlock features (which haven't been enclosed as far as I'm aware). I read it though as if the main game was free to try, but if you want to visit the shop (in the game) it'll cost you moneys - meaning it would be perfectly possible to complete the exact same game as the 3DS version for free. I paid £25 for the 3DS game and didn't enjoy it much so it made me a bit upset if Sega was giving the same game away for free that I just bought (and luckily sold without too big of a loss).
  13. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed 3DS

    After I read that Sega's apparently offering Rhythm Thief for free on a certain platform that the media can't stop talking about I've decided to not support Sega anymore, unless they will also release new games for free on platforms I own such as the 3DS. Why would I pay 25 quid or more for a game others apparently will be able to play for free?! So unless I misunderstood something I'm not going to get this game anyway.
  14. 3DS Console Discussion

    Yes, the prices look a bit steep. I bought a 3DS 32Gb SD card from mymemory-uk store on ebay for far less and it works like a charm. If anyone's interested, here's a link. It's only 13 quid at the moment, a real bargain.
  15. Fantasy Life (26th Sept)

    To yōroppa? Hai, īe? (And Europe? Yes, no?)
  16. Fantasy Life (26th Sept)

    You need to make 100 posts before it'll be available. You can thank me later. Game looks interesting.
  17. PES 2012 3DS

    Ah OK, -Dem0- thought you meant FIFA for the 3DS. I wonder how many leagues will be included in PES 13 for the 3DS. If anyone knows it would be nice to know. I'd personally love if Konami just dropped the licensing of players and teams all-together though and instead simply made up funny league- and player names and make the characters look cute - probably similar to Calciobit I reckon. No sense of missing out on some leagues, no problem with outdated rosters. I'd buy that kind of game in a heartbeat.
  18. PES 2012 3DS

    FiFA 13 will be released soon Sep 28th. You can pre-order at Amazon.co.uk for £29,99. I'd like to know whether you guys on my 3DS friend list are going for PES 13 or FIFA 13. Personally, I think I'll buy PES 13 (since I liked the gameplay in PES 11), as long as there will be more leagues to choose from.
  19. Tennis Thread

    Laura Robson couldn't keep the high level as in previous matches and made too many unforced errors thus losing the match to Stosur 64 64. Alas US Open is now over for her. I feel she can become a world class player when she's more consistent though and considering her age and that she's only ranked as world's number 89 (until next week) she's had a fantastic tournament. It definitely looks like she has a very bright future ahead of her.
  20. Awesome stuff thread

    Well said, mate.
  21. Tennis Thread

    US Open is also shown on Eurosport and Eurosport International if you've got those channels @Retro_Link Laura has been absolutely outstanding so far in the tournament beating former Grand Slam winners Kim Clijsters and Li Na. It's ridiculous what a tough draw she has though. In order to win the US Open she'd have to beat Clijsters, Na Li, Stosur, and then most likely Azarenka, Sharapova and S. Williams. Crazy! She's only 18 years old and while others before her have won at an earlier age I'm not sure if she can pull it off in this tournament since the draw seems very tough and Serena is playing on another level than anyone else at the moment it seems. But I truly hope she's going to continue to play like she has so far in this tournament and do it consistently and soon she'll be in top 10 for sure. It's really been a treat to watch her play so well so far I must say.
  22. Awesome stuff thread

    18 y.o. Laura Robson beating Kim Clijsters and Li Na back to back in women's tennis at the US Open seems pretty awesome to me, especially considering the way she did it. A new star is born? Well done, Laura, and good luck tomorrow evening against defending champion Sam Stosur.
  23. 3DS Console Discussion

    Yes, I don't disagree with all that, the 3DS is still fine for gaming and if Nintendo mainly wants to focus on that aspect then fine. I kinda knew that when I bought the DSi and later the 3DS I probably wouldn't be able to use those devices for multimedia as well and so I figured out I have to use other media for Skyping or Youtube etc. But that's not to say it wouldn't be neat with all those features included somewhere down the road in one of Nintendo's future handhelds mind you, although it'll probably not happen anytime soon. This I'm not sure I agree with though. Personally, I like the idea of having everything in one device instead of having it spread over two or more devices.
  24. 3DS Console Discussion

    I don't think the XL is meant to be taken as an upgrade over the 3DS - it's meant to be an alternative for those who like bigger screens. In my opinion, it's quite possible that a revised 'normal-sized' 3DS model will be released within a year or two; a 3DS lite perhaps. While I share your hopes and wishes, I respectfully disagree that Nintendo has to move with the trends. The DS was/is years behind the PSP regarding a lot of things such as video playback and Skype, but it didn't stop the handheld from becoming quite popular. Same thing now with the 3DS vs Vita. Although, I do personally think Nintendo is behind the competition in some regards (why can't we have Skype and Youtube on the 3DS for example) as long as enough people are buying its products Nintendo is not going to change its handhelds' modifications a whole lot I'm afraid.
  25. 3DS Console Discussion

    Thanks, guys. Guess I'm going to add these two games to my 3DS collection as well.
