Now today Tivo recorded a show called game makers on G4 and it looks like the old icons show. Maybe they renamed the old icons gamemakers for some reason ?

G4 was never really that great but they had a couple shows that were good. Icons used to be interesting but today Tivo recorded it as a suggestion and the episode was about some actress. What happened to the videogame history. If they want to make a show about celebrities at least name it something ...

The retro respect segment was really interesting. I haven't played any of those games because I don't like that style/type so I did not know the history behind them. I will have to check out the commander keen stuff though. Oh yeah mario 3 had the over head map screen so how could nintendo have stol...

It was also featured on the 6/15/06 edition of on the spot.

Many of the early games had the tech demo feel. Like Kirby canvas curse. I didn't buy it, it seems like a neat idea but it could be a tech demo too. I will get it some day probably.

I got it when it was released a while ago. It is fun and a neat idea but it didn't take long to finish all the levels and I haven't felt like playing it again.

I think there should have been a ton more levels how much work would it have been really.

I haven't seen one at a store yet but they may just not be putting them out I haven't asked.

The circuit city website says they still have some in stores near me.

Mariokart is great too.

NSMB is easy for the first few worlds but it gets harder. Then after you beat it you can go back and try to get all the large coins and thats pretty hard.

The problem with new mario games is they will never be as hard as the old ones just due to the fact that you can save.

I might buy one tomorrow I shouldn't because I want to get a new laptop but I probably won't be able to resist. What games did you get ? You need new super mario if you didn't get that. Probably shouldn't mention it but did you see the best buy and circuit city offers for brain age for free with the...

The link is bad to the video.

Well if it came out before the PS3 the kind of early adaptor people that would buy it would probably think it's worth the extra money to get it a few months early. Maybe Sony is pricing it high to make the PS3 look like a deal. Also I am guessing the division of sony that sells the stand alone playe...

With the release of the first half life 2 episode I keep hearing about episodic games. People seem to be happy about the half life episode. I don't really want to see this take off because I think it will be bad long term. I see these games ending up like TV were they won't end anything and just dri...

From what I understand there is a flag the content provider can set on the blu-ray/hd-dvd disks that determins if the movie will play a full resoulution via a non copy protected output. Right now they keep saying they are not going to require HDCP on blu-ray and hd-dvd but the option is still there ...

Only 24 so are there pictures ?

I just bought my first house and always said I would get a pinball when I did but now it's going to have to wait until I get some money

Psychonauts is one of the few Xbox games I liked. (munches and oddworld stranger are the other two) I am glad majesco picked it up I thought it was going to be vaporware. I never got to play any of the lucasarts point and clicks but I hope to someday. They should release a compilation of some of the...
