• Don't laugh at me, You did that to yourself already *points at your sig*
  
• what's a dedicated server? A seperate computer from the one you are using to play, running a program that hosts a multiplayer match to allow you and others to join a lagless (or almost lagless, depending on the distance between you and the server) multiplayer match.
  
• Is that a server that fans make? Yes and No. Most multiplayer PC games have a tool that allows you to run a server on a seperate computer to host. Some people/publishers pay small companies to host server for them. Some people/publishers host the servers themselves in their home/studio.
  
• Would I have to do something special to have access to that, or could I just buy the game, update it, and play online? Install, Patch and Play! You do not need to run a dedicated server to join a match.
  
• Also, what's MP? Multiplayer

Thanks, that answers absolutely everything! I just use lol's to separate my sig, I haven't seen anyone else do that. :P

Just wondering if Call of Duty 1 is online. Also, this is very important: Are ALL VERSIONS of it online? Because there's the regular 2003 version, a game of a year edition, and an expansion pack (I think there's only one?) that I THINK you can add to either version. Also, in general, do PC Games that are online usually stay that way, or is it only if it's really successful, like Halo? (Which I'm sure is online) Thanks for your help!!

Almost All MP PC games last forever with dedicated servers.

Don't laugh at me, what's a dedicated server? Is that a server that fans make? Would I have to do something special to have access to that, or could I just buy the game, update it, and play online?

Alright guys the year is almost over and soon we will find out who will win the awesome award of GOTY 11.

All fanboyism aside i believe SMG2 will win GOTY this year for one word alone....history

In all of Gamespot history A AAAAE never lost a GOTY award in i doubt just because its a sequel history wont repeat itself.

what do you all think will win and why? im not going to create a poll because theres so many options8)

Mario1331

Super Mario Galaxy 2 isn't a very good game...DEN DOON DEEEH!!! Let me explain WHY. Super Mario Galaxy was a pretty fun game and a nice addition to the Wii library, but you have to realize what Nintendo's doing here. They're dead, they're just not cool anymore. Why? Because they haven't made ANYTHING original in YEARS. They've just been recycling the same things over and over again. I still just can't understand why people gave Super Mario Galaxy 2 such high scores. Are you BLIND? This is Super Mario Galaxy 1 with new levels, music, power ups, and Yoshi. The voice acting, controls, general gameplay, just EVERYTHING is basically the same. Look at Donkey Kong Country returns, it's Donkey Kong Country 1 on Super NES with better graphics, no option to play as Diddy Kong in Single Player, and FORCED motion controls. Twilight Princess is a glorified version of Ocarina of Time. And don't even get me started on New Super Mario Bros Wii. PEOPLE, IT'S NEW SUPER MARIO BROS FOR THE DS ON THE TV! THAT'S IT! They just tack on gimmicks, like motion control (Shaking the controller to spin, which you can do accidentally) 4 player co op, Yoshi once in a blue moon, BETTER GARFIX, and of course, MORE LEVELZ.

I'm not saying these games aren't fun to play, but people, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY. Play Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Donkey Kong Country, and just the freaking originals. Remember when Zelda was NEW? Mario was NEW? Kid Icarus was NEW? Metroid was NEW?

Think about it. When was the last time Nintendo made an IP? KID ICARUS IS BACK!!! METROID IS THIRD PERSON ONCE AGAIN! KIRBY ON WII WITH YARN! DONKEY KONG COUNTRY RETURNS!!!

All good things come to an end. Such is the way with Nintendo.

By the way, I'm a huge fan of Nintendo and think the Wii's a pretty good console, but I also think that the PS3 and 360 are way better. (I have a Wii, by the way) But I don't think it's good DUE to Nintendo. House of the Dead 2 and 3, House of the Dead Overkill, Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, No More Heroes, and No More Heroes 2 are all great games you'll only find on the Wii. Not to mention that the NES and Super NES are two of the best video game consoles ever made, period, and that this was largely due to Nintendo.

By 'last', I don't mean until they turn into dust ofcourse aha. Till they die and are no longer playable.

Well, under normal circumstances no cartridge will just "Die" and be no longer playable. But the SAVE battery, will, yes, eventually die. The save data is in the save battery so it dies with it, however you CAN replace it. It's a hassle and you have to buy a new battery/the right screwdriver/know what you're doing, but it can be done. As far as how long they last, it might vary from the original save battery found on cartridges to the replacement ones. I've heard saving drains it faster, but mostly it just dies from time, I think. Maybe around 10-15 years, I'm hear to clarify, not specify.

Hey, I've just been looking around and the PSP looks to be a great system, but there were quite a few questions I had about it that I couldn't find elsewhere...Hope you guys can help me out, thanks!

1) I know that the PSP Go doesn't have a UMD drive but most of the UMD titles are available for download anyway. However, the PSP 3000, (Which does have a UMD drive) the only other PSP being made right now, does that let you download UMD games as WELL as letting you play the actual UMD Discs? Most of the UMD titles are not available, but new ones are, some are out of print.

Yes you can DL them just like the PSPgo off of PSN.

2) There's a lot of Sega Genesis, PC Engine, and Playstation 1 games available to play on your PS3. Are ALL of these titles (EX Gunstar Heroes, Blazing Lazers and Gran Turismo 1) available for download on your PSP, or just some of them?

PSOne games and minis will play on PSPs, PSN games will not. Gunstar Heroes is a PSN game and does not work on PSPs.

3) If you download a Sega Genesis, PC Engine, or Playstation 1 game onto your PS3, can that title be transferred/copied to your PSP, or do you need to buy it again through your PSP? Does it work the other way around, can you download a game from your PSP and copy it to your PS3?

Whatever compatible games you buy on your PS3 can be downloaded on up to 5 PSPs

Thanks a lot for helping me out. :)

Thanks!! Just one more question, can you download a game that plays on both systems (EX Gran Turismo 1 PSOne Classic) off of your PSP, and then put it onto your PS3?

Who cares if the darn things were worth 1 cent on eBay, It's freaking Atari. Tell them you found it, and offer to pay them at least 50 bucks to keep it as long as it works perfectly. And collect more games, and play it to hell. It's THE ATARI 2600!

There's pretty easy ways of connecting any game system like an Atari 2600, Colecovision, Intellivision, 5200, 7800, etc into any modern TV. Look it up.

I'm planning on getting a PS3, (Doesn't count at all) a Dreamcast (Doesn't REALLY count) and...A COLECOVISION! Yeah, this bad boy was VERY powerful for its time and had hardware pretty much identical to the Sega SG-1000 (Only in Japan/Europe) and Microsoft MSX. (Only in Japan/Europe) It had a huge controller with a joy stick disc, two fire buttons on the sides, and a full keypad. The systems were HUGE and bulky, but the biggest attraction might be the Expansion Module #1 (Others included a driving controller, a trak ball controller, and an Adam Computer connector) which lets you play Atari 2600 Games on it!!! The system is about 150 bucks in good condition on eBay and the Expansion Module adds on about 20. I would get a Atari 7800 if it weren't for this (It can play Atari 2600 games too, but in my opinion it's library isn't as good) and an Atari 2600 before that, but the commercials were right, this IS the ONLY game system you'll EVER NEED!

The Atari 2600's library needs no introduction, but the Colecovison had many PHENOMENAL Arcade ports that some consider to be better than the Arcade, and fantastic original titles as well. Games like Burgertime, Pepper II, Frenzy, Lady Bug, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong JR, Popeye, and SO MUCH MORE are simply TIMELESS.

Basically, I have a game store, and I have about 7 Atari 2600s in the back. I think 3 don't work. I am going to try piecing them together to get one that does work here in the near future. What about the shells for the other 2? If anything I will save them for extra parts, but has anyone seen anything cool done with a 2600 body? Like along the lines of people putting computers in old NES shells. The 2600 has very limited room inside, and there are the holes for switches, so besides chia pet I am at a loss for cool ideas for it.

Sell the broken ones on eBay and say it is broken. Sell it for a cheaper price and make sure to say it doesn't work, also test it out to make sure that's the case and be able to report what's wrong. Trust me, people want to buy broken systems to use for parts, and because they're cheaper and they might be able to fix them. Just make sure that you clarify that once they buy it, they buy it.
