Do you remember the days of yore when gaming was magical? the days of the snes i mean. you'd buy a new game and you'd put it on and go over all misty eyed as the wonderful characters, simple but beutiful 2d animation, and heavenly music carried you away... This is what happened when i played this game in work today!(its not out til friday) It is the best zelda game since zelda 3!! none of this 3d rubbish just old fashioned pure undiluted gaming!! And the sound effects! And the music! and the characters! Oh how i miss the snes! Sorry i am getting carried away. but trust me this is one game that no gameboy owner should miss!! As soon as any of you get to play it let m…

Please anyone who reads this, go here and sign this petition! If there is anyone here who, like me, doesn't have an internet connection and relies on other means to use this board, then this is bad news indeed. Half life 2 will be unable to play on machines that do not connect to the internet. that puts me, my family and all my friends out of the picture. in a feat of stupidity they have made it so that you have to register on the net any time you want to play. here is the website of the petition. http://www.petitiononline.com/HL2/ please go here and save the lives of many strapped for cash-gamers!

Does anyone where play Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC)?

Hmm, it appears we may all be able to purchase our potions for real soon. Due to be released about the same time as FFXII will be a new energy drink concoction called, you guessed it, "Potion" Final Fantasy Potion Unvieled

So, Xbox Store has their Countdown sale going on -- I've already picked up Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for half-price, seeing as how I got into things there with Skyrim and tinkered some with ESO. But one of the big sales right now, up through the 28th, is the newly-released Final Fantasy XV. If anyone has it, could you share thoughts about it? I played 7, 8 and 9, but got bored about twenty minutes or so into 10 and haven't touched the series since. I've heard some good things, but I want to make sure whether to grab it while it's 25% off (the Digital Deluxe edition with everything is, anyway -- $63.74 instead of $84.99). If it's as good as I've heard, I think I may …

This year has been interesting so far for games: so far I've gotten Halo Wars 2, and pre-ordered Mass Effect: Andromeda and Prey both, with plans to get Injustice 2. Then there's Destiny 2, Middle-Earth: Shadow of War and Vampyr as well. Those are just the games I know about (I'm on Xbox One, so I don't keep up with the PlayStation side of the fence). So, what games are the rest of you looking forward to seeing?

I found an old Sega Genesis at a local game shop that specializes in repairing/selling old retro games and consoles. With it I got Aladdin and the Lion King, and OH MY GOD I'm reliving my childhood through these two games! They're both platform games geared to kids in elementary school, but are still fun to play to this day if you can get your hands on a working Genesis. Not only that, but I've also made a Twitch account (RiverChaos, if anyone's wondering) and was thinking about streaming either of these games or both on there.

I had a really weird dream a while back related to an old game I played the crap out of as a kid. I was in a Legend of Zelda game, with N64 graphics, and I was fighting a corrupted Link, and I was using masks from Majora's Mask against him. On top of that, when wearing the transformation masks, I could equip the regular items (that normally can't be used while wearing those particular masks) into my yellow arrow slots and they'd act as a "power boosts" for the mask attacks. (Example: As a goron, I equipped the fire and ice arrows, and my goron punches became fire or ice punches.) It was odd and cool, but when I woke up at 3 in the damn morning my brain decided to…

Are any of you going to be playing this when it comes out?

Soooo..... Anybody playing this game? They dubbed this as the spiritual successor to Castlevania SOTN. So far, it looks amazing. And yes, it does run on a potato PC. I only have an i3 but it still runs.

I don't know how this started, but it is glorious to see two fandoms coming together and making two beloved characters best friends! I love it, and it's something the internet needed without knowing it needed this.

Do you buy your games on disc or do you just download the games on your PS4, XBONE, or PC?

Okay, I gotta admit...this looks badass.

Has any of you gotten your hands on a PlayStation 5 yet? If yes, what are you playing on it?
