gog.com only took it's site down and stopped people from downloading games they own for a publicity stunt.

I own 5 games from GOG... But they can fuck off now.

Seriously, I will take old games that cost twice the price of GOG and loaded with securrom before I ever, ever buy another game from GOG.

Nintendo Power reveals Cave Story going to Nintendo DS with a TBA release date.

The game will be only for DSiWare for the time being but no details on a cart version for non-DSi users.

So far the game has been released on the PC (free) and WiiWare ($10).

Sorta worked. A lot of people who had never heard of them know about them now.

Will they buy? Well, I probably won't. But the day I become mainstream, you should all be very, very scared.

Super Meat Boy for Xbox Live Arcade is going to offer free DLC by including a special chapter in the game where the developers can upload as many chapters and DLC content for free even though Microsoft sets limits on free DLC allowed.

By using a chapter called "Teh Internets", they can go around the Microsoft requirement and give out as much DLC for free as they want.

Unless his top priority is Half-Life 2: Episode 3, I don't care.

Honestly though, at this point they should just release Half-Life 3 instead.

Pre-order Donkey Kong Country Returns at Gamestop and get a collectible banana pouch to store a Wiimote when it is not being used.

Deal is exclusive only at Gamestop and supposedly in very limited numbers.

According to Gamespot (I think by way of IGN), You Don't Know Jack is returning.

Newest PSN firmware update 3.50 manages to disable or kill off a good number of non-Sony brand or licensed PS3 controllers.

Mad Catz confirms most of the pre-2008 controllers now won't work on an updated PS3 while their fighting pads and arcade sticks are guaranteed to still be working. Logitec controllers are not affected by the update due to being considered officially licensed by Sony. Rock Band instrumental controllers also assumed to not be affected by the update.

This update comes at the same day Sony warns consumers to not buy counterfeit or non-licensed controllers since they could catch on fire or explode while playing.

I saw the exploding controllers bit. LOL.

I saw the exploding controllers shit.

LOL.

It said it couldn't post the first one. :wtf:

Postal 3's also coming evidently.

Hasney got a thread with a bunch of videos. Looks like cheesey over the top violent shit straight out of the 90s, but worth a few laughs.

For what? Postal 3?

Apparently I got into the Dead Space 2 multiplayer beta.

Edit, its "meh" imo

Just beat Secret of Mana with my friend. Overall this game was fucking retarded and unintentionally hilarious. Only things I liked were the music (aside from the parts where it would cut out because sound effects took up the layers) and being able to upgrade weapons and stuff.

We started Seiken Densetsu 3 and 40 minutes in it is already way better than Secret of Mana.

Anyone ever played the Sengoku Basara series? I'm not sure if I want to get SB3 or not. Looks like a more over the top Samurai Warriors, so it could be fun. I like crowd combat. It's certainly pretty and all, but I skipped the first one (In part because of the changes they made to the US version) and the second didn't make it to America as far as I know.

I found Devil Kings fun, but only because I'm a sucker for over the top hack and slash. Wish I could get SB3.

That might help if your games haven't come out stateside. I'm assuming you're using 360s for this, of course. I'm sure the PS3 has its equivalent guide.

The similar guide for PS3 is that every single game is region free.

One of Sony's better moves.

Don't have a Wii, I take it? I know already you don't have a PS3.

Well, this title's a PS3/Wii only game. Since it's two platforms, it's hard to call it exclusive. The prior ones were PS2 releases, but since I don't know about the series itself I wouldn't import SB2 anyway.

Kinda ironic, since Sony were one of the people who pushed hardest for region locking and to block imports.

Occasionally they do something like this that has me thinking they've learned. Then they do something like pretend the PS3 is the best selling console in the world, and I /headdesk even harder.

Ayane and Kasumi's new duds for 3DS' Dead or Alive game:

They're unusually overdressed.

Tekken Producer Harada's Strange Tweet:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/phot...3DMjfUBrrRE%3D

Fuck dead or alive.

DOA > Virtua Fighter, at least. It has its moments.

Fuck DoA, all you gotta do is stand still and counter to win.

Stop playing your little sister.

BTW, sick of extreme claims to a games difficulty/competitive level. And I understand how simplistic certain DOA mechanics are, but like hell you're gonna win pressing back+free. Get serious.

"Just use ultras in SF4 to win."
"No strategy in Smash, anybody can win."
"Tekken's a button masher."
"Soulcalibur's a button masher with scrub ringouts."
"Thermal's for noobs."
"Reach's bloom is for noobs."
"Stand still and counter to win in DOA."

And so fucking on. Almost always from people who spent all of 8mins with the game. And what gets me is what is actually brain-dead and scrub shit never gets called out or is in fact celebrated. Aim bloom in Reach; "scrub shit". Flag juggling in Halo 3; "being strategic". Mega Crash in TvC, "scrub shit". Spamming assists in MvC2, "being skillful".

Not a rant specifically at you LoDown but god damn.

Now you're just being silly.

I do prefer DOA4 to Tekken 6 or Soul Calibur 4 though.

I can see that. Your tastes were made well and clear.

Kalyx knows becayse he regularly beats hsi friend at tournaments.

Kalyx wants to fight each and every one of you guys.
