One of my favorite memories was when I opened TMNT on Christmas day. It was the same day I think I got Jurassic Park on VHS. Sadly it's one of the only X-masses I remember back at my old home. I also fondly remember my dad helping me play Gyromite, since I didn't have the ROB robot to utilize it. So I had to use a second controller. I think he used the second controller to open doors for me. Also, gaming with my mom and sister, as they were actually gamers back then. I remember always going to my sis or mom whenever I needed help in SMB3 or any NES game we had at the time. I know I asked my sister to help with TMNT back then. She almost got through those annoying water levels with the grass that shocks you. Yuck, I hated that level. Other than that, I think another childhood memory I can remember is coming home from elementary school with my friends and playing some TMNT 2 the arcade game. And then we'd go outside and play fight until the point we actually do fight lol.

Has anyone heard of this game? I guess it got a lot of backlash when it was originally announced in 2009. Originally Atomic Games was behind the game, and Konami was to publish, but they were dropped by Konami due to fan backlash, as the game depicted a real life event in 2004, during the Iraq War. Supposedly it was a war crime as well, and people weren't into the idea of that being a part of a game. But, the developers do make a good point here: And I kind of agree with that. No matter what, we have games that depict war all the time, hell most games are violent and about guns and death. But, I think games can teach us just like movies or other forms of media about past events in history. Of course, you could also argue that the movies change too much, so it's possible games would do the same. What do you think of this game? Do you think it should be released? I don't know much on what happened in Fallujah. I hear many civilians died during that time, and I can understand why a game like this shouldn't be made. But, I'd argue, if they show the full truth, and show the atrocities of what happened to all sides, I think that would be a fair compromise. This article goes into a lot more details - Cultured Vultures Also, you can check out the trailer below. So, do you think you'd play this game? I'm undecided myself.

I've never heard of GameStar. I mostly read Electronic Gaming Monthly, Gamepro Magazine, PSM (was subbed to this for a few years), and a few more I'm probably forgetting. I wish I took care of all the mags I had, because looking back, I think they would be worth a little bit today. But, oh well. I'll be on the lookout for old mags at thrift stores.

True. They also did the prototype games, and I could see those getting a remastered package set down the road. Also, I know Gun was hugely popular back in the day. I think if they can dig into their back catalog and remaster/reboot some of the games in the PS2 era, they might have something. They could even try their hands at Guitar Hero again, but who knows how that will do after their recent attempt.

During a mission in Cyberpunk 2077, near the beginning. There's a mission to meet with a woman in her room. This was early on, and I was going to do another mission instead. But, I didn't think, as I went to the woman as intended and changed my mind as I went in. This ended up causing the mission to fail and I couldn't do it again lol. So ever since I make sure not to go to any missions until I know it's one I want to do. I've done this sort of thing in other games, where I decide to do a mission later, but I'm already put in said mission, and leaving fails it. There was another game I did something similar in, but I forgot the title. It was a space game, like Fallout. I feel stupid that I can't remember it, because I played it like a few months ago.

Maybe not many at this forum, but there is a community of gamers who only use Linux. I wouldn't even say it's a rare thing at this point. It's not as widely supported as Windows, but it's getting their with support from the community and more studios supporting it. Steam works with Linux, and there are ways of making some games work on Linux. It just takes some work to get it working.

As much as Activision sucks, I have to disagree. They do have a heavy focus on COD, but they have a wide history with a fairly big back catalog to pick out of. It's just that these days, their focus is COD, but I feel as if they're starting to calm it down on that. They've had great success with their remasters, like THPS 1&2 remastered, which was light years ahead of their original remaster attempt. And then you got Crash Bandicoot and the Spyro remastered games. Which have been praised by fans and critics. They even published that Sekiro game from Fromsoftware. So to me, it feels as if they're focussing so much on COD. But then again, when they have 3 different studios working on a COD title each, it's easy to get those games out every year for them. But, I wouldn't count them out, as they do still release other games, I just wish they would release more of their classic games, or make reboots or sequels to their past classics. Plus, they have a lot of dead properties that they could revive. I bet Pitfall could do with a new game. 😄

I have a PC/Tablet combo that has Ubuntu on it. I unfortunately can't game on it, due to it being limited in that regard. But it's great for small work here and there.

Well I do partake in cannabis personally, so I'm curious if they would allow me in an esports league. 😄 I figure they probably don't care much for cannabis and focus more on the extreme stuff.

Well, if anyone really wants to, they can download the build for the game. I won't say where or how, just that it's out there if anyone wants to try it. And since it's mostly done, it's almost the full game.

Exactly, it's the best dashboard hands down. It's not so bad on the Xbox One, but it just slows the 360 down to a crawl. On top of that, I think the avatars being a part of the dashboard slowed it down even more. The blades dashboard is fast, smooth, and looks great.

With esports becoming more important these days, it got me thinking, do people joining teams have to do drug tests? I figure since it's kind of becoming an actual job, that some organizations may require a drug test. I know it sounds odd, but I can totally see this sort of thing happening if it hasn't already. Especially with how people have cheated in these events, so I can see them making drug tests a priority. What do you guys think?

Here in the US we don't have nearly any arcades, as we kind of moved on from them. But, Japan has always had a lot of Arcades, but with the pandemic, it's causing issues for them. The arcades in Japan would usually get tons of people in, but due to the pandemic, they haven't been getting many people in anymore. There are still some people who show up, but it's miniscule in comparison to what they used to get. Could this spell the end of arcades in Japan? I sure hope not, because there's not many other places that have a arcades. You can read about this news here - Yahoo News

Looks like we're starting to get more and more skateboarding games these days. A lot of indis studios have been trying to replicate what Skate was, and some have had success while others haven't There's a new one called Skate City coming out for pretty much every console. Check the trailer below. I just hope the camera isn't locked in that position. But I'm guessing it's done for cinematic reasons? I'm interested in checking it out.

Wow, forgot about this topic. I'm still on the lookout for a racing wheel, but I'm too cheap these days lol. Nice find! I saw a racing wheel at a thrift store for like $50 a while back, didn't get it because you never know if it'll work, and most thrift stores don't allow returns.

I heard somewhere they might make a remaster of True Crime - Streets of LA. I would love to see that happen, as I think those true crime games were really good back then.

Ah ok, so these guys locked the lower priced games in certain areas and increased it in others. That's messed up. I'm glad they were fined for it. Makes me wonder if this happens in the US or other countries too.

Yeah, that was clear from what the hackers said. I heard somewhere that it was someone on the inside who did this. I wouldn't doubt it. I bet a lot of people on the dev team are mad at the higher ups.

That's the point of a simulation game though. The boring/mundane jobs are part of that. I'm not allowed to post this or something? I saw it was announced, I figured I'd post about it. Sorry if it sounds like a promo, that was not my intention. I just wanted to provide more context on the game. I also didn't see any other topics pertaining to police simulators here. So it was wide open for discussion. As well, you may think these sorts of games aren't popular, but you'd be wrong. These games have a community of gamers/fans all over the world. Hell, look at GTA V, many people only roleplay as police officers in that, so it's not far off that a police sim would be of interest to some people. I'm excited for it because it interests me. And I've never played any of the other police sims out there, so I'm fresh to the genre.

Want to be a cop, but in virtual form? Look no further than Police Simulator: Patrol Officers a new Police simulator from Aesir Interactive and astragon Entertainment. It's not to be confused with other Police Simulators on Steam for example, as this is a different studio. Watch the trailer below. Is this something you'd buy?

It seems RS:S is still very popular to this day. I never really got into it much myself, but I understand why people like it. Thing is, in this day and age, everything seems to get a yearly release, but Siege is different, in that it's been going strong since 2015. Do you ever think Siege will get a sequel? Now that the new gen consoles are out, I could see a sequel coming. But, do you care if they do or not? They could just remaster this for new gen and call it a day.

Looks very souls like to me. Liking the direction it is going so far. Just wonder how tough of a game it is going to be.

Check out this sneak peek of MetaHuman Creator. It's a tool that can make realistic 3D models much easier than what is currently possible. I'm excited to see more. This could also help make game productions go a lot faster. Watch the video below.

Of course they did. Remember the news of the Xbox 360 Goldeneye 007 remake? Well, the reason why it never came to be, was because Nintendo said no, that they weren't putting a Nintendo game on a Microsoft console. You can read all about it here - Nintendo Link Seems pretty odd considering Perfect Dark and other Nintendo games are on Xbox consoles because of their purchase of Rare. I also didn't think Nintendo holds any rights to the 007 Goldeneye name. But I could be wrong.

I want a life size figure. I saw one of those Solid Snake statues online years ago. I wish I had the money to buy something like that, or even have one made.
