After watching a halloween specialof King of the Hill, it made me wonder, if there were many people in the world who is were as religious as the woman in KotH, would it ruin the world?


And by strong, I mean the woman made sure Arlen, Texas had a curfew so no one could Trick-or-Treat, since she figures Halloween is for satanists.

I agree. I don't see why the game review section shouldn't be a sub forum of the gaming forum myself.

I have a 1 gig stick. Is that considered alot? and the three games I have are Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, GoW: Chains of Olympus, and Crisis Core. What I'm aiming for is to be able to get a PS3 with that money.

Seems like your leaping around the Sony market, Metallix. Now you just gotta land a copy of Uncharted 2 and you're set.

You couldn't wait to get a new TV so you sold your PS3, then sold your perfectly good PSP 3000 and got a Go, and then a few days later you sell that Go and get a PS3?

Party chats are more than helpful and PSN users will like it.. not that many talk in my experiences. At least Sony's following a nice model in Live, this should help gamer friends keep in touch without having to do the same thing at the same time, just relax and do whatever they like.

From the perspective of a future professional PC technician/network administrator who's in college, the PC is the superior platform and the numbers speak for themselves:



A mere 6.5% in September. Psh.

I must admit. Sony have some smashing exclusive's this year and Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time is the latest exclusive on the way and has already received it's first review from UK magazine PSM3.

I'm happy to say that the PSM3 team have given the game a brilliant score of 90, describing the game as "Massive, rewarding, funny"

We're looking forward to A Crack in Time and will be bringing you a review of the game closer to release.

Though 3D Realms, the studio behind Duke Nukem, has closed down, this doesn't mean that its employees aren't doing active "research."

George Broussard, developer on the original Duke Nukem, and director on Duke Nukem 3D (before the studio went tits up) has been playing through Naughty Dog's Uncharted series. His impressions have been ecstatic, to say the least.

"Amazing single player experiences, nearly, if not, on par with Half-Life 1/2. I haven't felt this giddy over a game series since Half-Life," Broussard writes on the ShackNews Forums. "This is epic badassery right here. Believe the hype."

The game has been incredibly well received by critics, earning a 96/100 metascore after 73 reviews on Metacritic. Broussard's praise continues:

"Scope-wise it's not even fair. Uncharted 2 *does* so much it's just intimidating. It's going to ruin gaming for me. No way this game can ever be the baseline for games. It's like you go see movies and they are ok, then every 5 years something like Lord of the Rings comes out.

"It's rare that I like games this much. There's virtually no fail in them. Very polished and well done on every level. These are master works, up there with the tops games being made. You may as well be playing great Indiana Jones movies."

And more:

"Game of the year. Can't see anything else besting it, even the mighty Modern Warfare 2. We shall see. That's the battle, imo, for Game of the Year.

"I can't take any more. The game will set bars so high that every action game will be a disappointment to play. Much like Half-Life did."

Following a number of excited mid-game forum posts, including "UN-fudgeING-BELIEVABLE GAME!!!" and "Best. Game. Ever. Seriously. The 95+ reviews are warranted. No hype," Broussard sums up his thoughts after finishing the game:

"Finished it. Jesus Christ. This is one of, if not the, most amazing games I've ever played. It deserves every game of the year award. What they achieved is unbelievable. It's seriously hard to think about playing another game after this. It'd be like watching some random movie after just having seen Star Wars.

"It's certainly in the top running for "best action game ever" with Resident Evil 4/5, Metal Gear 4, Half Life 2, and you know...the best games basically ever made.

"This game is worth borrowing a PS3 from a friend if you can't afford, or don't want one.

"No gamer should miss playing this game, because games like this only come along every few years."

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves opened to a first place position in the UK Individual Formats Chart, despite being on sale for only one day.
