No save function in Star Fox 64, but you do have a pause function.

My parents were always terrified about computers and all of the bad stuff that could happen, so we didn't own an actual PC until around 2000. Shortly after my stepdad gave me a copy of Diablo 2 and it was all good from that point on.

Well if we are going to compare the Lynx, Game Gear, and Game Boy, there are many reason's why the Game Boy "won" and the other ones didn't do so well.

First of all, how many of you have actually played an Atari Lynx? Ok, out of you, how many of you found a game that you could have any fun with? That is the primary reason the Lynx failed. I have one for novelty purposes, but I sure as hell won't play anything on it because everything is terrible.

The Game Gear is a fine system. Don't own one myself, but all of the games on it that I played seemed to be ports or remakes of games that were more popular on the Genesis. And the battery life needs to be mentioned. That thing was a **** battery sponge. You'd put in your assload of batteries to play "on the trip" and before you even got to where you were going you were out of batteries, so much for the trip back home.

Keep in mind this was over a few week period when I borrowed a Game Gear, so my experience was limited.

Nintendo also had that brand recognition going for it. Around that time the act of "playing videogames" was so closely linked to Nintendo that it was sometimes called "playing Nintendo", even if it was a Genesis, Atari, or a Master System.

Honestly I got my Game Boy as a gift, a complete surprise to. There I was playing Super Mario World and on my birthday I got a Gameboy... a Nintendo, that I can take anywhere. Oh **** it was so on...

Thats not exactly turned off... Thats just in sort of a standby/sleep mode of some sort.

No, if you unplug your Xbox 360 it cannot receive data.

You really need to do this on a game by game basis. I am very tired of regenerating health in first person shooters, but that doesn't mean I want it to go away completely. I would just like to see some developers bring back the health meter is all. Maybe do a thing like Halo 1 where you had a regenerating shield and then health underneath that. Mix it up a bit. This "get hid until your screen is red and hide" always was stupid and its getting more ridiculous as time goes on.

Someone mentioned doing away with fighting games and 2d platformers. Absolutely not. While I am not a big fighting fan myself I can appreciate the genre and the competitiveness. Watching high-level play in a fighting game is very enjoyable to me. Think about how a fighting game is set up. Two people, a fight to the death. Two people enter, one reigns victorious, gaming doesn't really get much more "hardcore" than that.

On the subject of 2d platformers, I will say that the game I am looking forward to more than anything else is the upcoming Donkey Kong Country game for Wii.

And I say bring back save points. If you have a "real life" or whatever and you can't set aside time to play a game you probably shouldn't be playing the game anyway.

Well it would be nice to start at the first one, which I think was Playstation 1 and later remade for the Playstation Portable.

I don't understand, if they arn't open in your area right now why does it matter? Lets assume the person who replied did know the trade in value, you could do anything about it until tomorrow anyway! Why are you being so mad?

And Gamestop will not give you anything close to what its worth, but this isn't their fault necessarily, it's a business, and businesses are designed to make a profit. If you want quick and easy cash there is nothing wrong with selling or trading to Gamestop, but if you want a little extra money and are willing to put in a little extra effort you should consider either selling it to someone you know, or putting it up on Ebay, or something along those lines.

If I had the money to buy another 360 I would go for the Resident Evil 5 limited edition bundle.

What do you need a 120 GB drive for? I am still using the 20GB that came with my Pro system close to launch and I can't think of a reason why I would evey need more than that. I guess maybe if you REALLY like your Xbox Live arcade games or something...

My friend has an arcade, and it runs a whole lot more quiet than my 360, which I got relatively close to launch.
