"Unlike older, Juan is not under the heat sink"

Thank goodness. I was worried for Juan.

People should write a well written, but concise letter of complaint to Sony, Activision, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and the consumer affairs department/Attorney General in your particular state.

It's important that you indicate in your correspondence that you are in communication with the Federal Trade Commission and the consumer affairs department of your particular state because they often have the ability to render considerable pressure even if there is little legall...

It's time to man up with GOW and leave the pansy ass FF series behind.

Sweet Jesus do I ever love the God of War series.

She insured the package. Very smart. Insurance on the package could not have cost more than about five dollars with the USPS. Parcel insurance is very cost effective, although I doubt that the process to return her money is especially quick.

At least she gets her money back.

Much like Robin William's comedy, his reflections on Canada are straight out of the 1970s.

Sadly, customer service with Microsoft and Sony is seriously lacking. If you call for service and get a wingnut service agent that won't listen, simply hang up and call back in the hope of getting someone with a little more sense.

There is really nothing more you can do, unless you want to investigate remediation through the courts.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb is a great game. My only real complaints are that about 4/5 through the game the difficulty takes a steep upward curve. Nothing impossible, mind you, but it can be frustrating. The game is also not without a few very minor technical problems here and there. My other gripe is that the last half of the game is set entirely in China, which begins to feel monotonous after a while.

Overall it captures the look and feel of Indiana Jones perfectly....

m9105826, you are referring to high powered microwave radio towers that send concentrated microwave beams. Again, microwave radiation is non-ionizing radiation. It does not damage cellular structures like other forms of radiation such as gamma rays. The damage from high power microwave signals is due to the resonating effect on water molecules, which can essentially cook a person to death. This is how microwave cooking was discovered in the first place.

There is no danger from ...

Utter nonsense. Radio waves, microwaves and other electromagnetic waves of the type used in wireless communication have no proven adverse effects on human tissue because they are non-ionizing sources of radiation. That means it does not damage the cellular DNA on account that radiation of this type does not have the energy or the wavelength required to break chemical bonds such as those that hold the DNA molecules together. You are in infinitely more danger of developing cancer from the power...

The Power Base converter would not work on the Nomad (and the later Genesis models) because of physical limitations, as I understand it.

The Game Gear was essentially a portable Master System, thus the compatibility.

One would think that this would be easy to rectify. Take the disc back, explain the problem and ask for an exchange.

I don't know why people expect geniuses behind the counter when Gamestop pays minimum wage.

I would love to know what city and store that would be. I live in Calgary and it has been impossible to find Wiis anywhere; Futureshop, Bestbuy, Walmart, Zellers, EB Games, etc., etc. I've been offered over $500 for the Wii I bought last Christmas.

I know many people that have spent weeks and weeks and weeks trying to find one, and that was in the middle of summer. Frankly, I don't believe you.

"Shameful" adult movies, but don't get in the way of my Gears of War or Manhunt...

The Iraq war is shameful.

Children in poverty and without adequate health care is shameful.

Stealing Christmas presents is shameful.

Consenting adults engaging in on-screen sex is not shameful.

I don't get it either. I love the game, but I do despise the veil of secrecy that most game studios shroud their projects in, and Naughty Dog was refreshingly open and honest about Uncharted's development. I wish all studios could be this forthcoming.

After all, we are talking about video games and not nuclear weapons secrets here.

Maybe they mean the circle button, [o]. That is the universal back button on the PS3, is it not?

God of War is not a role playing game but an action game, and that is exactly the way I like it. I don't want to fuddle around with the minutia you find in your typical RPG and simply want to the play a game, which God of War does perfectly. Far too many RPGs are bogged down with mind numbing detail that takes you out of the action.

Thankfully, God of War does not make this mistake and knows exactly what it is; an ass kicking action game.

Somebody please explain to me why Sony waited nine months to admit the obvious. And don't tell me that it was all in an effort to "build anticipation" for God of War III.

Anyway, it's too bad that both Barlog and Jaffe are no longer with SCEA. I hope whomever comes along next to shepherd the game is as attentive as they were.

The real question is, why? Why keep the fact that you are working on the next iteration in a series secret? What possible benefit is gained from doing so? You're really only working against yourself attempting to keep a lid on the details that you will inevitably reveal at some point in the future anyway, so why bother?

All the secrecy surround future projects is an illness that game developers picked up from movie studios, and the game studios really derive no benefit from all...

I am sorry Makroyale, but you are confused. You set your TV resolution in the Dashboard and the 360's Ana chip automatically scales the game output to match. A few 360 games "cheat" their way to HD resolutions this way, such as COD 3 and PGR, which are internally rendered at 640P.

The following article describes the technology of the Ana chip and the implications for the PS3:
