Don't know but I think GameSpot overrates some games. No offence.. It's still the best gaming website on the web .alber

Thanks for posting!

Yeah portal was doing it too, but then it actually updated after sitting at 0 forever and then I had a couple new features in the video options, like being able to slide my view angle from 75 to 90 degrees, which made a pretty huge difference actually. I think lost coast was stuck at 0 for a while too.

Actually yeah, that worked, thanks. I never play this game as I'm more of a CoD4 man. Just came free with my Orange Box.

But man, for all te credit it gets as the premier download service, and for how long it's been around, Steam sure is bug-tastic. Every time I'm downloading something via Steam I have to set my computer not to enter standby or else it'll crash.

TF2 has been stuck at "updating 0%" for a couple days it seems. Is this a result of some server bottleneck from the new patch? Anybody else getting this? I'm actually downloading Stalker right now and it's downloading as normal but TF2 ain't budging. And because it's not updated steam won't run in offline mode. Anybody else having to deal with this?

I would say Sin and Punishment and the original Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 pretty much fit the bill. I can't see much else that Nintendo could release that would cater more to the Nintendo hardcore. Except maybe the unreleased Mother games

I'd modify SMG so that Mario didn't shriek "SUPER MARIO GALAXXEEEE!!" when you start the game up. So annoying!

My system crashed right after downloading a VC game, when I hit the 'Continue' button. It would eject the disc but wouldn't power down or reset when hitting the face buttons. Then, after I pulled the power cord and turned it back on, all my channels were in completely random places. Has this happened to anyone else? And if so, did anything worse happen afterword?

  • I love Simon's Quest. It 's worth getting for the music alone. I could see it being frustrating though if you don't have all the secrets memorized.

17 of my 20 VC games are from Nintendo Systems. It really goes to show how much they dominated during the nes/snes days.

Anyway, can anyone suggest some good Genesis or TG16 games to look out for (whether they're availble on VC yet or not)? Everyone tells me Gunstar Heroes. Well, I played most of Gunstar Heroes, and I don't like it. Anything out there that's more like Wonder Boy? Did they ever do Zaxxon for Genesis? What are some good TG16 games? I have R-Type and Soldier Blade, which is all the shooter I'll ever need. Is there anything good on that system that's not a shmup? Thanks for any input.

Super Metroid is by far my favorite VC game so far.

Now I'm really waiting for Majora's Mask and the first 3 Mega Mans. Castlevania 3 would be nice too. And Chrono Trigger.
