My grandparents just came from the U.S. and they brought along with them a Nintendo DS for me! Yay! I also get Pokemon Diamond, Mario Kart DS, and Brain Age 2, along with it. But I don't know if it's DS or Lite, but the DS is black and so is it's cover which has a Dialga and another Pokemon on. I was hoping for a PSP, but this will do too :D

That can run on

A PD 2.20GHz

1024 MB of RAM

GeForce 7300GS 256 MB 64 bit (yeah i know it sucks, gonna upgrade soon)

And I want some games to test my system to the max please...

On a side note:

Which is better?

GeForce 8800GT 512 MB 256-bit

OR

HIS HD4850 512 MB 256-bit

Both are close in my budget but since I can buy only one, which one should I?

I have finally got a system. Here it is:

Acer 17" LCD Monitor.

Intel Pentium D 2.20 GHz

Intel D-945 Mobo.

512 MB RAM DDR2

ATX Approved Thermal Casing

80 GB SATA HDD

And graphic card coming soon...

What games would you recommend? I right now have 64 MB of RAM in Video Memory share.

...really really really really need for my PS2;

Toca 3 - c'mon man, its TOCA, one of the best (if not the best) simulator races out there. But even though this is in my most wanted list, I have to be fair and point both its ups and downs:

Ups:

Damage - Codemasters' greatest trademark is the damage it puts in its racing games. Recent games showing this off are DiRT and GRiD, but even though TOCA 3 is not next gen, its damage is by far the greatest yet seen in the 6th generation. (and yes, I'm comparing MNC3, HP2[PS2] and even Forza)

Tracks - Like, 100+ tracks? WTF. Thats more than any other racing game out there, with GT4's being second but still half of TOCA's.

35 disciplines of racing - Dude, thats more than anything I know.

Downs:

Cars - 70+ cars only. Though it may be better than and NFS's roster, and may match up to MNC3's, this is nothing compared to the 200+ in EPR and FM and 700+ in GT4. That may be alot, but after seeing GT4 I just wish more cars be included.

The local game store said that they will have TOCA 3 by today or tomorrow, so if you notice any further absence of me, blame TOCA 3 ;).

But for any of you who is curious of 'what is TOCA?' here are a few screenshots of it:

Ouch.

Yeah so, I got a new laptop; 1.29 GHz, 256 RAM, ATI RADEON 7500. Yeah, that may suck compared to today's standards, but at least it will be able to run more games and better than my old PC. It's too bad I can't upgrade laptops. So, could anyone recommend me any games that you suppose will run on my new baby?

If you haven't noticed (which I'm pretty sure you would ;)) I changed my banner and user icon.

What do you think of 'em?

While Resistance: Fall of Man can support up to 32 players online, Insomniac is taking things up a notch with the sequel: up to 60 players can compete on dedicated servers, with lobbies for individual squads. That's just insane. We'll also be getting a more robust online experience, as there will be classes (Heavy, Special Ops, Medic, etc.), "partial randomized geometry,"

and there's some more news:

PS3 Rewards will be more than just Achievements

http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/2421.html

According to Kotaku and PlayStation Network boss Eric Lempel, PS3 achievements - perhaps they'll be called something else, but whatever - are right around the corner. Not surprisingly, the feature will arrive with the implementation of the highly anticipated online service, PlayStation Home.

"I know that an achievement system is very important to our consumers," said Lempel. "With Home, and in addition to Home, we have some very exciting programs planned to recognize our consumers gaming skills and loyalty in new ways that go well beyond a single score."

For some of you, it may look like I'm a geek, but for others, I may be poor in studies, but to myself, in my own opinion, I have done worse:

2 As - Computers and Islamic Studies

4 Bs - Pakistan Studies (Geo and History combined), Physics, Chemistry, English

2 Cs - Advanced Maths, Urdu (or second language)

1 D - MATHS! I can't believe it! Sure I may have screwed in the Monthly Test, but I was sure to make up for it with an A in the mid-terms! I can't see where I went wrong! Maths used to be my best subject, I don't know whats been going on for the past 2 years, Oh God, please do something!

This is worse than what I used to get, first, in the US or in Primary school, I used to get straight As, at 5th grade, I started getting Bs, but ever since coming to this stupid place I began getting Cs (thanks to Urdu, no matter what, I aways get a C in it, and I guess the word 'Advanced' in Advanced Maths explains the rest), but, for the first time in my academic life, a D, a ****ing D in my Best Subject!?

Ok so I have just recently began uploading my videos, so far I have 6 already on here.

Here is a list of them:

1. PS3 Universe ad (1 min): This is one of the coolest commercials I've ever seen.
2. PS3 Universe ad [short] (30 sec): This is the shortened version of the coolest ads I've ever seen, note that this also has some different footage.
3. Burnout Paradise - Welcome to Paradise City Trailer (2 min): This trailer for Burnout Paradise shows the details of Paradise City and what you will be able to do in it, it also shows how you will start a race and how you will exit it.
4. The Knack (1 min): This is a short Dilbert cartoon, if you wanna laugh at it, you have to watch the whole thing though.
5. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - Intro Videos (2 min): This is the intro video of GT5 Prologue, one of the coolest intro vids I've ever watched.
6. Funny Falls (2'20"): This video has short clips of falls that'll make you laugh right off your chair.

Please watch and comment them :).

1) Tekken Tag Tournament
