Re: How do fast-paced video games affect the brain?

Interesting stuff, although I didn't do too well on that last attention test with the blue and yellow faces. I guess that means I should be putting more time in to Halo. But recently I got hold of some Where's Wally books and was going through them to kill some time with a non-gamer, and I was findi...

Re: Whatcha Been Listening To?

I've had Devin Townsend on all day. Pretty sure "Numbered!" (0:22 - 5:16) is the perfect heavy metal pop song. It's exactly what I needed today :) We have another Devin Townsend fan here! Excellent taste, sir. Haven't been listening to music much recently but I guess the latest thing I sp...

Re: The Elder Scrolls

I love the series. One of my favourites. This new DLC looks great, but I'm a bit ambivalent about it. I'm sure it'll be great and everything, as the larger expansions to Elder Scrolls games always are, but I'm not sure how I feel about going back to Solstheim. I've already been there, I was looking ...

Re: C&R Game Screenshot Thread

Makes you laugh when you look at these screens and then remember how aged and underpowered the 360 is now. It boggles the mind. Goes to show you how good developers can make something look, and how well they can make it run, when you have absolutes on a system. There's quite a few recent games that...

Re: The Last Guardian

I'm rather doubtful that the game will even come out at all at this point, with all the problems it's been having. It seems like too much for it to have survived to me. Although I haven't heard about other studios helping out with it. That seems like a very strange thing for Team Ico to do. Their ga...

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender/ The Legend of Korra

Yeah, it's definitely one of my favourite stories ever. I get a lump in my throat all the way through the last few episodes of Book 3 when it all comes together. The scale of everything is so huge, but it's still very personal because of how good the character development is. I love it. I never real...

Re: C&R Game Screenshot Thread

Some great shots there, particularly the Forza 4 ones, you forget how good the photo mode with the more extensive reflections are. Yeah, you can get some really nice detail in that game. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7073/7334741688_aee636d6b2_c.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7099/7334741916_fca...

Re: The videogame music thread - share your favourite tunes

Some really great stuff here. I'm glad to see Darksiders 2 getting some love, that's a great soundtrack. I also appreciate Skyrim, Fez, Mirror's Edge and of course Zelda. And on that note... J7yZ-jAj7Zk I've also had this soundtrack in my head recently. I really love it. 8yKG-Qu4WvM UsnJRyTlFb0

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender/ The Legend of Korra

I'm surprised this thread isn't already a hundred pages long. I would have expected these forums to be full of fans of the show. Well I'm a huge fan, it's my favourite TV show in fact. Seeing that first clip reminds me how much I need to see Legend of Korra again. They really need to hurry up and re...

Re: The "Introduce yourself" thread

Hello everyone. I've already made a few posts because I didn't feel like lurking around, but I thought I might as well post here for what it's worth. I'm Scrustle (pronounced skrussell) and I've been a fan of the podcast for several months now. I first got in to it after hearing about it from the Go...

Re: C&R Game Screenshot Thread

So we're fans of Horizon on this thread? Good to know, I've got a load of photos from it. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8330/8134456886_2fb131357e_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8049/8134457042_60c00df827_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8043/8131786720_299242225f_c.jpg http://farm9.staticfl...

Re: Okami (HD) & Okamiden

I'm not looking forward to leaving an opinion on this game as it has always been untouchable despite having 'only' played 3/4's of it before selling my PS2, as another fan of the Zelda series this game is going to be head-to-head with The Skyward Sword, no small feat. Not strictly on topic (pretty ...

Re: Okami (HD) & Okamiden

I love Okami, it's one of my favourite games of all time. I'm also a huge fan of the Zelda games, and I would rate Okami above plenty of that series' instalments. I've had it since it was first released on PS2 and I'm finishing off a playthrough of it right now. I've been trying to clear up all the ...
