Railroad Simulator and all its DLC.
|
| What are the best free to play games? |
|
|
Seems like the vote is near unanimous with Team Fortress II. I'm not a big fan of TF2, I enjoy games such as League of Legends, and various F2P MMORPGs such as Dragon Nest by Nexon and Realm of the Mad God.
|
| Is there a scary game under $10? |
|
|
Have you played Penumbra? Penumbra is a game created by the makes of Amnesia for the PC as well. It's quite intense!
|
| What are some good online multiplayer games. |
|
|
I've been playing quite a bit of League of Legends lately, it's a great game.
Dragon Nest by Nexon is also a very high quality game; Dragon Nest is an instanced fighting MMORPG, in which you actually have to fight, kill. and dodge monsters, not just point-click-wait. |
| I'm trying to improve my computer for gaming but I can't spend ANY money, any solutions? |
|
|
Go ahead and try defragmenting your computer; Windows 7 comes with a default defragmenting program, but I suggest Defraggler.
|
| Vindictus good, bad or ok? |
|
|
I feel as though Vindictus is entirely full of botters, hackers, and glitchers, and I'm more of a fan of Dragon Nest myself.
|
| How do I convince my parents to get me SWTOR under $75? |
|
|
I'd agree with the others here; do some work around the house and what not.
More importantly, as Nicholas has suggested, waiting for some sort of sale on SW:TOR would be your best option, in combination with housework. Goodluck! |
| Any questions about Guild Wars 2? |
|
|
What kind of computer specifications did you have when you registered for the Beta?
|
| whats a good anime to watch |
|
|
I'm definitely a fan of Darker than Black and Code Geass.
|

|
Borderlands and Magicka are great games, if you want to try them out.
|
| What's a good graphics card to buy under $150? |

| Best cpu for recording games under $500? |
|
|
In order to get a better FPS, I'd actually say that buying a better video card is your main concern.
|
| Good RTS? (Real Time Strategy) |
|
|
If you're looking to play on-line, then Starcraft II or the most recent Warhammer 40k RTS will be your best bet. Some older, amazing, games were Age of Empires II, Red Alert II, and Empire Earth.
|
| Tera worth buying? |
|
|
Having to fight through an actual combat system, not just point-click-wait, is definitely the selling point of TERA. I personally love the system that they're using.
|
| What is your favorite game genre? |
|
|
I'm more of a fan of Real Time Strategies myself, I love that element of skill/precision.
|
| Why Minecraft isn't on steam? |
|
|
If Mojang were to put Minecraft onto Steam, they would have to pay royalties to Steam; it's just a much higher profit margin by distributing it themselves.
|
| what is your favorite first person shooter? |
|
|
I had a lot of fun with Call of Duty: World at War when it was first released.
|
| what is your favorite real time strategy game? |

|
||
| Do you think SWTOR will become as successful/More successful than WoW in the not so distant future? |
|
|
I don't think so; the hype died down after release. The hype of the game was its driving factor, in my opinion.
|
| What is the best free game you guys could recommend, steam or not! |
|
|
League of legends is quite an amazing game if you're into strategy/MOBA.
|
| What's the biggest lego set? |

| What is a good game that is similar to Minecraft (but is not Terraria)? |
|
|
Dwarf Fortress is good, but has a GIGANTIC learning curve, and an indie game called CubeWorld seems very similar.
|
| Why is there no buzz around Fear 3? |
|
|
There wasn't really that much hype over FEAR 1 or FEAR 2 either, so that might compound with the other issues that everyone else is bringing up.
|
| What do you think about Dungeon Defender? |
|
|
It's definitely a great game, but I feel the same as Ryan and Trevor, that it does indeed get extremely boring.

|
Dungeon Defenders is only like $15.00 on Steam.
I've spent quite a good amount of time messing around on that game, it's extremely fun. |
| Best RPG? (online and/or offline) |
|
|
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core was definitely one of my favourite RPGs to date.
|
| Old school RTS |
|
|
Age of Empires, Empire Earth, or Warcraft III are great games.
|
| What FPS would you recommend for Xbox360? |
|
|
To be frank, if you want to always have a full game, then Modern Warfare III is a good game for the 360.
|
| When given the choice in a video game, do you prefer playing as the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy'? |
|
|
I typically make my character bad in most games.

The Das Keyboard company has some AMAZING keyboards.

|
| so there is going to be a super smash brothers for the 3ds and wii u, which one would you get? which one are you more excited for? |
|
|
Brawl really killed the series for me, compared to Melee/N64, to be honest. Brawl didn't have the same flow that I felt the other two had. Of course, I'll still be playing the WiiU version of the game whenever I have the chance.
I can't see why they'd release it for the 3DS also, I feel like they are just milking the game. |
| Spotify or web based? |
|
|
A bit of Grooveshark for the playlists/easibility of finding a song, and Spotify for mixing up songs that I already love.
|
| [League of Legends] What is the best team comp? |
|
|
Anything with a Suppor Zilean/ Carry Trynamere combination. Me and my friend do this all the time. 30s ressurection time + tower dive is intense.
|
| Sim City 4, or Cities XL |
|
|
I'd wait up for the newest Sim City that is currently in production.
|
| does anyone think valve adding the games 4 free category was a good idea? |
|
|
It gives the F2P game developers another outlet for an immense amount of people to join their game, and an incessant stream of new players.
|
| Is it still worth it buying a Wii right now? |
|
|
I'd buy it used for extremely cheap, people are trying to get rid of them.
|
| NES, SNES, and N64 which one is your favorite? and what was your favorite game on them? |
|
|
I really don't feel like we should be comparing the three best consoles to date, but if I really need to present an opinion: SNES was my favourite. I still remember playing Sim City I, and sending out waves upon waves of Godzillas to destroy the city I had been creating.

There's no RTS better than Starcraft I or II, in my opinion. Age of Empires II and III come close, though.
|
| How good is Borderlands? |
|
|
Borderlands was an amazing game when I played it, although due to the flaw of only allowing two players per console, it never ended well within my group of friends.
|
| What F2P Games Do You Enjoy? |
|
|
Rise of the Immortals was a good DotA/LoL clone. I had also wasted a good portion of my life on games by Nexon/Aeria Games/Gamers First.

|

The next FIFA game should be coming out. Those are typically extremely good.
|
| What makes Mass Effect 3 so well liked? |
|
|
I really think it's because of how great every other Bioware game is. The style of story, combat, everything is well made.
|
| what is better dead island or left 4 dead |
|
|
I personally liked Dead Island more, but that was because it was more of an open-world RPG.
|
| What was the best game from your childhood. |
|
|
Oh, definitely Final Fantasy VII, this game created my childhood, along with Super Mario 64.
|
||

I really think that EVE is the only truely great space combat simulator game out of any that have a really big multiplayer opportunity.

Jack and Daxter/Rachet and Clank were some great games.

|
|
When the storyline had just been continued to be milked and drawn out to the point where it wasn't interesting anymore.
|

|
|
As you could tell by my avatar, Starcraft II would definitely be my favourite game of the last two years, hell, the last five years.
|
||
| What are the best games for the GameCube? |
|
|
Don't judge me. Me and my friends spent countless hours on animal crossing as kids when that system game out.
|
||
| What is your all time favorite game character? |
|
|
Zacko from Final Fantasy VII:Crisis Core.
|

|
||
| What PSX/PS2/SNES/Gamecube/DC games would recommend for someone who was to young to play the games of this era? |

|
||
| Whats your favourite Zelda game ? |

DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY.

| Which Borderlands character did you choose? |
|
|
I went with the sniper/hunter guy. Haven't played that game in forever though.
|
| What do you think about Fallen Earth under $10? |
|
|
Fallen Earth is a cool idea, but it doesn't have a good looting system in my opinion. Very hard to control.
|
| Your favorite strategy game? |
|
|
Starcraft II no doubt. I liked Age of Empires II and III too, though.
|
| What phone has the best service provider? |
|
|
I use T-Mobile, as it's much cheaper than the alternatives for my area.
|
| What is the top of the line language software under $200? |
|
|
Anything BUT Rosetta Stone.
Rosetta Stone is known for being extremely good for learning the vocabulary, and nothing more really. Personally, I'd go with Pimsleur or Michel Thomas. |
| Favorite Video Game Glitch? |
|
|
Almost any of the glitches in Mario N64 were so funn.
|
| What are your thoughts on the Call of Duty series? |
|
|
Call of Duty tries to take a more one-man-army fast paced kind of game compared to BattleField III. I'm not really a fan of that, as it's not nearly as realistic.
|
| How would I get rid of spambots/spammers from a forum? |
|
|
Captcha typically works, but it makes it more irritating for the users.
|
| Is TERA worth preordering under $50? |
|
|
TERA has a very cool fighting and politics system, but I find that Guild Wars II seems to be of higher quality and I'd rather wait around for it.
|
| So who else won a game? |
|
|
Won GTA:IV Complete Collection myself!
|
| do you need a keyboard for your phone? |
|
|
I haven't been able to use the old texting system ever since I got a QWERTY pad on my phone. No thank you!

|
We do not know when D3 is going to come out, but hopefully soon!
Gunna' go with the Witch Doctor class myself! |
| At what age do you all think it is acceptable to start playing video games? |
|
|
I personally would wait for a few years to help keep their eyes from having complications from staring at the bright screen for so long, even with extensive breaks.
|
| Which phone takes the best pictures? |
|
|
I'd suggest the HTC Titan.
|
||
| What is your favourite Gba game ?? |
|
|
I played the shit out of this game as a kid. Probably one of my most enjoyed games.
|
||
| What are some good free games under $0? |
|
|
Team Fortress II, and League of Legends are pretty amazing games.
|
| What's your favorite movie based on a video game? |
|
|
I found the Resident Evil games to be pretty good, but games based on movies, or vice versa, typically turn out terrible.
|
| Mario or Luigi? |
|
|
Weegee!
|
| Can anyone suggest a good racing game for ps3? |
|
|
Definitely going to have to go with Gran Turismo V. But although GT5 was amazing, I enjoyed Forza IV for the 360 more myself.
|
||
| What are some really good free games? |
|
|
Team Fortress II, League of Legends and DotA2 make up the Free-to-play games that I typically play.
|
| what is your favorite pokemon? |
|
|
Bulbasaur. Bitches don't know about my solarbeam.
|
| What do you think about the time period of Assassin's Creed III? |
|
|
I haven't been a big fan of the Assassin's Creed series lately, but with this new setting, Ubisoft just made $60.00.
|
| What's your favorite Final Fantasy and why? |
|
|
Final Fantasy VII's prequel, Crisis Core was for sure my favourite of the FF series. Although FFVII itself has aged rather well, Crisis Core combines its superior plot, adds a few more emotional elements, and puts it together with a more modern, not turn-based gameplay. The video of the game was phenomenal, as with the voice acting.
|
||
| which would you prefer? action and a short story or extended play time and run and fetch game play? |
|
|
Oh, for sure a game full of more action. Run and Fetch style gameplay is extremely slow, typically cancerously boring, and if it had the same style of storyline, but the gameplay was more intense, it'd be a much better game to me.
|
| Best Indie game in your opinion? |
|
|
I am also a really big fan of World of Goo.
|
| What was your first phone? |
|
|
I had a Nokia just like Jerry, with a rather limited 120 minutes a month plan for the entirety of my family, which four of us had little phones.
|
| Any input on this Acer laptop for gaming? |
|
|
I actually believe this this laptop from Newegg would be a much better deal:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... You get the same amount of RAM, but it is quad-core instead of dual core, and has 140GB more hard memory. The video card in the laptop is the Radeon HD 6620G, which is respectable, albeit I prefer Nvidia chip cards myself, but the Radeon HD 6620G, in conjunction with the 6GB RAM/Quad-core should be able to run anything you'd want. The screen is roughtly 2 inches smaller, but for a higher spec product at a lower cost, it should be a worthy investment. Total cost: $679.99 |
||
| What will be the coolest gadget/electronic device to come out in 2012? |
|
|
Definitely the Google Augmented Reality glasses.
|
| Best over-all beginner video game experience? |
|
|
Some things to consider are the types of games that you enjoy; personally I think, in deciding between what games to choose, you need to look at the individual genres of gaming:
RPG: Good suggestion would be Bastion, Half-Life I and II, or Minecraft. Creative: Back to Minecraft again. Strategy: Age of Empires II or III, Starcraft II, Civilization IV, are some great games. Puzzle/Thinking: Portal I and II |
| What is your favorite role to play in MMO's |
|
|
Healer, for sure!
|
| What is the best keyboard for typing? |
|
|
There's no doubt about it. IF you have a good budget, the Das is the way to go for using a keyboard exclusively for typing.
They are also used quite extensively for PC Gaming. |
| What is your Favorite N64 Game of all time? |
|
|
Pokemon Snap, Zelda: OoT/Zelda: Majoras Mask, Banjo Tooie, Super Smash Bros. . .
Too many great games to count. |
||
| Which game will be the most successful in 2012? |
|
|
I'm hoping all goes well with Guild Wars II!
|
| Are there any JRPG's for the PC? |
|
|
There's not really many good Jap RPGs on the PC market, PC gaming wasn't extremely popular during the time that this genre had exploded.
The only game I can find that seems respectable would be Fortune Summoners, on Steam. There's a demo available as well. http://store.steampowered.com/app/203510/ |
| What is a good computer for gaming that isn't insanely expensive under $1000? |
|
|
This is the answer I give for each time I see this question arise:
I'd personally grab: Intel Core i5 Quad-Core: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80623i525... Cooler Master Hyper cooler: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-coo... ASRock Motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-p6... 8GB Patrio DDR3 RAM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/patriot-memory-pxd38g... EVGA 650 Ti Video Card: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-01gp3... 500W Power Supply: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/apex-power-supply-ald... This will run you up approximately ~$625.00 after shipping, with the only thing you needing to buy after is a monitor, a tower, a hard-drive, a mouse, and a keyboard. |
| How to find out about new betas? |
|
|
MMOHut and MMORPG.com also have an expansive Beta section.
|
| What game has the longest storyline? |
|
|
Fall Out New Vegas broke the record for the most amount of dialogue text in a video game when it was released, so that might be an indicator of a long storyline.
I perosnally love FFVII+Crisis Core more, myself. |
| Need Desktop wallpapers! |
|
|
I use either Wallbase.cc, or flickr to find wallpapers for my computer.
|
| What headset is good for gaming under $100? |
|
|
This is the headset I currently use, and the one that I have loved the most out of all of my headsets. The quality of this device is extremely top notch, while it has a relatively low price.
|
||
| Best Graphics Card under $300? |
|
|
The EVGA GTX 570 is an upgraded version of my current card, GTX560. Defiinitely a good investment.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-012p3... |
||
| Need a new headset for gaming, anyone with a good idea? |
|
|
This is my current headset, it's extremely cheap, but has an extremely high quality.
|
||
| What is a good simple RPG game for computer? |
|
|
Definitely check out Bastion from Steam.
|
| What is the hardest video game you ever played? |
|
|
BattleToads, QWOP, or Dark Soul are great contenders for that title.
|
| What gaming mouse do you recommend and why under $75? |
|
|
This is the one I currently use. Highest DPI for the price on the market at over 5000 DPI.
Plus it comes with a weighting system and multiple grips. |
||
| Will Free to play EverQuest even matter??? |
|
|
My thoughts behind this switch are one that believe that SOE will be releasing a new title in the future, and having more people with a small Everquest background, or a renewal of nostaliga for the game would benefit them in marketing the new game.
|
| Best Inexpensive Case (Europe Purchase) under $50? |

I'd pick up the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer for £64.78.
http://pcpartpicker.com/uk/part/cooler-master-case... |
||
| What is the best SSD, and the big differences to look for when buying one? |
|
|
The overall best SSD on the market would be the Kingston HyperX 120GB @$200.00
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-har... Realistically, though, I'd pick up the: Crucial M4 64GB @$85.00 The main thing you want to look for are: Memory size Physical size and the reputation of the company |
||
| What is a cheap but good graphics card I could get to handle SWTOR, Rift and WoW under $100? |
|
|
Definitely the EVGA GeForce GTX 550. Splurge out of your budget a bit by $25, and you'll be able to run any game for the next year or two.

| Buying Fraps worth it? |
|
|
Getting the Pro version of Fraps will also cut out the small FRAPS logo during filming. It's a must for any sort of professional work.
|
| What email program do you use? |
|
|
I have set up my hotmail account to forward all my messages to my gmail account.
From there, I can access most of my mail through my various accounts on one source. |
| What's that feeling you get when you want to play WoW but know you can't? |
|
|
Sure it's not addiction? <3
|
| What is your favorite villain in a video game? |
|
|
Sephiroth from FFVII.
|
| Ever thought about that game you always wanted? |
|
|
Open-world 3-D Pokemon MMORPG.
Think of how many buyers that game would get. |
| What game, in your opinion, has the best protagonist of all time? |
|
|
Cloud from the Final Fantasy VII storyline for sure.
|
| Should I get Battlefield 3 or MW3? |
|
|
Battlefield seemed to rely less on random bullshit tactics, and more on actual knowledge and skill at the game.
|
| What was the very first game you ever played? |
|
|
The first game that I can remember playing was Doom, followed by Starcraft I, and then some various N64 games ported to an emulator.
|
| Best Gaming Console? |
|
|
I'mma let you finish but, I don't care about these new Skyrims and Call of Warfares.
The Nintendo 64 was one of the best consoles of all time. Of all time. |
||
| Ipad or other alternative? |
|
|
I'd personally spend the money on another tablet, as you can get a higher spec product althought without the OSX operating system, for much cheaper.
|
| PS3 or Xbox 360? |
|
|
Myself I'd go for the PS3 to play on-line, as I'd rather get it for free than on a monthly fee.
|
| Whose your favorite NPC in WoW? |
|
|
There was this guy at Blizzcon 2010(?) that asked some rather in-depth questions to the Blizzard Lore panel, who were completely stumped by the questions.
Blizzard made this guy into an NPC, at the right hand of the guy who the panel thought was dead, Falstad Wildhammer. http://www.geekosystem.com/red-shirt-guy-npc/ |
| What is the best first person shooter? |
|
|
I loved Battlefield III myself. I'm sure it's a little mainstream and unoriginal to say, but the game definitely had among the highest quality of any FPS that I have ever played.
|
||
| Favorite website? |
|
|
Aside from the typical Facebook, Google, e-mail service, etc, I personally love the site Reddit; it always has something new and interesting.
|
| Can't decide between an Iphone 4s or Droid Razr |
|
|
I would personally go with the Droid Razr, I feel as though you can get the same experience with it as with the iPhone 4S, but at a cheaper cost.
|
| What would you like to see next another Half Life (3) or another Metal Gear Solid? |
|
|
If it has to be one of the two, I'd love to see Half Life (3) more than another MGS. The main rationale behind this would be because any new MGS game will come out for the PS3 or the PS Vita, of which I have neither.
|
| Anyone own one of those 3D tvs? |
|
|
I don't own one personally, but the idea of 3D feels like its just a fad. I can't imagine sitting and watching one myself.
|
| What sequels are you really waiting for? |
|
|
Guild Wars II is currently the only game I'm waiting for.

The original World of Warcraft trailer/opening cinematic was amazing.

|
|
I'll agree with Brad. The game definitely looks beautiful, but it seems like it'll lose its playability very quickly.
|
| What is a fun co-op rpg for pc |
|
|
Alien Swarm is good, if your friends do not have a very good computer.
|
| What game do you consider has the best graphics? |
|
|
Metro 2033 is known to have even higher graphics than Crysis extended and Battlefield III. It's an intense game.
|
||
| Hey, where are the free games? |
|
|
It's definitely not!
|
| What is your favorite RPG (Role Playing Game)? |
|
|
No RPG has ever come close to Final Fantasy VII for me.
|
||
| What class, if any, will you play when Diabo 3 finally comes out? Struggling to decide even after playing all of them in the beta! |
|
|
Monk seemed like a lot of fun, as with the Witch Doctor.
|
| Is the PS Vita worth buying? |
|
|
PS Vita is just the PSP with a touch screen. Hold out for better game releases before purchasing.

|
|
I just wonder how much the battery will last with all the internet connectivity it'll require. Also, would the 3G work under our phone's dataplan, or would it require another? Too many unanswered questions about the augmented reality glasses for me to really have an opinion on it.

| Mass Effect 2 Ultimate Edition on Steam? |
|

It will definitely be an origin exclusive game, as it is an EA game. EA needs to push their new distribution model.
|
| what game would you replay if you still had it? |
|
|
Definitely the BattleTech/MechWarrior series.

I'm not sure that you easily get a legal key for this price. Try checking out ebay/Criag's List.

I'd like to see the Fallout setting to be a little more in-land, more towards the epicentre of the disaster.

I personally loved the storyline/gameplay of Final Fantasy VII's prequel, Crisis Core.
|
||
| What upcoming video game release should I save my money for? |

Guild Wars II without a doubt!
|

Check out various MMO distributers, like GamersFire, Nexon, Aeria Games, and K2 Games.

| Is the nvidia gtx 560 ti evga super-clocked a good card? |

|
If you have the airflow to allow a super-clocked 560TI, it's one of the best cards on the market to go with for its price.
|

|
|
The best Diablo-esque game that I have seen is Path of Exile. This game is currently in Closed Beta, but is near exactly what I want to get out of Diablo III.

Without a a doubt: Metro2033.

| Battlefield 3, is it worth it? |

Goodluck, mate! |

I would definitely go with the Cooler Master Storm Scout ATX Mid Tower Case, it is designed to be spacy as to allow airflow, which albeit isn't as necessary with liquidcooling as opposed to air, but the extra space leaves enough room for the liquidcooling to function properly. The Coolmaster Storm Scout only runs up $69.00 on Amazon.com with free shipping.

This camera is currently $58.99 at Overstock.com, it features a 14MP camera, which is slightly better than one of the newer iPhone/iTouches that are currently out, and nearly all of the Droid phones.
If you're willing to spend over $75.00, I'd go ahead and visit a nearby electronics store and see if they can make a deal for a 16MP camera or higher, which will take better pictures. |

| Best keyboard for MMO gaming under $75? |
|
|
From experience, I feel as thought the Razer BlackWidow is probably the best keyboard I have ever used to-date. All of the keys seem to flow, the response rate is near instant, and, as a bonus, the keys click quite a bit.
Another much cheaper alternative to the Anasi or the BlackWidow would be the Microsoft Sidewinder, although the quality is slightly lower. |

| Where is the best place to purchase 4gb DD2 (DIMM) Cards under $50? |
|
|
I typically order all of my parts from Newegg, but I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that the get.com's product search is actually extremely good for price-checking and finding respectable deals on other sites.
Another great spot is http://pcpartpicker.com, which takes into account various discounts like mail-in rebates, and gives a Price-Per-Gigabyte etc. |
| Reccomendations For GPU watercooling Loop under $350? |
|
|
I don't exactly endorse watercooling over the traditional fan, so I can't give you a proper recommendation, but do you really need a full watercooling loop to support a GTX 580 even with some more heat intensive devices? Seems like the built-in would do more than justice, unless your computer is not out in the open. This is just my personal opinion, I don't have much experience with watercooling. Goodluck, though!
|
| Is a laptop with i3 & 3gigs of ram is enough for office use? |
|
|
Depending on the programs your office would require you to use (especially in the case of design work), you may have to increase the RAM slightly, but an i3 should be able to handle most buisiness office work.
|
| what is the best laptop for travelling |
|
|
I would reccomend this laptop over the MacBook for traveling anyday; it much cheaper, but should be able to run with a higher speed and memory capacity. Although the screen is slightly bigger, the battery-life is supposed to last extremely long, at approximately 4hr~6hr, depending on how intensely you use it.

| What do you prefer, Steam or Onlive? |
|
|
Steam has a much better treatment of Indie game developers, and that is important to me.
|
| What is the best gaming PC setup under $1000? |
|
|
This answer is the generic one I give for all questions regarding gaming PCs under $1000:
Intel Core i5 Quad-Core: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80623i525... Cooler Master Hyper cooler: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-coo... ASRock Motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-p6... 8GB Patrio DDR3 RAM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/patriot-memory-pxd38g... EVGA 650 Ti Video Card: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-01gp3... 500W Power Supply: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/apex-power-supply-ald... This will run you up approximately ~$625.00 after shipping, with the only thing you needing to buy after is a monitor, a tower, a hard-drive, a mouse, and a keyboard. Since you are a fan of the traditional HDD, I suggest the: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB 3.5" 5400RPM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-inter... This HDD holds 1TB of memory, and has an extremely high cache memory space of 64mb. Including the HDD brings up the approximate price to ~$725.00, before monitor, tower, mouse, and keyboard. If you're really into gaming, I'd try and convince you to buy a mechanical keyboard such as the Razor Black Widow, and some sort of high DPI mouse. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away. |
| What is the best 2 player game for Wii? |
|
|
I've reused this answer before, but I personally love the site Co-Optimus for finding co-op games. Here's a direct link to every co-op Wii game. Top games are: New Super Mario Bros. (Which I do not recommend.), Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Kirby's Return to Dreamland (Pretty great game if you can get into it) and Monster Hunter Tri.
http://www.co-optimus.com/system/3/wii.html |
| How many people have actually received free games from this site, and how long did it take? |
|
|
I had received a copy of GTA:IV Complete Edition a few days ago, sent via e-mail and activated over Steam; although I personally enjoy answering questions with a bit of my spare free-time. The staff all seem like nice guys whenever I send in feedback as well.
|
| Is there any way to get ME3 without Origins? |
|
|
http://armedgamer.com/2011/11/battlefield-3-origin...
Battlefield III had Origin stripped from it by the "RAZOR1911" team, I'm sure Mass Effect 3 will get the same treatment. I can't find anything on the legality of this, but a few of my friends have done it with BF3 and had no repercussions. |
||
| Looking for good co-op games, suggestions? |
|
|
Magicka is a pretty amazing, although it lacks the actual need for a team.
If you're into shooters, then try out Killing Floor and/or Nation Red. Have you tried playing Minecraft or Terraria? You could try going through an extensive list at: http://www.co-optimus.com/games.php |
| Activating an older phone under another number? |
|
|
I would go ahead and call 1-800-837-4966 (1-800-VERIZON) and ask Verizon this question, I'm sure they'll be happy to respond.
|
| Living in Italy. Aside from Amazon, what would be the best way to get games from the UK under $82? |
|
|
I personally love GreenManGaming, but they have a lot of European-only restrictions- should be perfect for you!
http://www.greenmangaming.com/ |
| I'm looking for a decent usb 3 flash drive 16gb-32gb under $50? |
|
|
This one is 16 gigabytes, at $18.99.
|
||
| Should i upgrade my laptop to play games or buying a gaming computer under $1000? |
|
|
I'm more of a fan of desktop computers:
Intel Core i5 Quad-Core: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80623i525... Cooler Master Hyper cooler: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-coo... ASRock Motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-p6... 8GB Patrio DDR3 RAM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/patriot-memory-pxd38g... EVGA 650 Ti Video Card: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-01gp3... 500W Power Supply: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/apex-power-supply-ald... This will run you up approximately ~$625.00 after shipping, with the only thing you needing to buy after is a monitor, a tower, a hard-drive, a mouse, and a keyboard. |
| Amnesia. |
|
|
Have you tried the Bioshock series yet?
|
||
| A good free dungeon crawler? |
|
|
I personally loved Dragon Nest when I played it; I'm sure it would be a fit according to what you've said you like!
|
||
| good free games? |
|
|
EverQuest actually announced that they are going free to play just a few days ago; it's a classic that is definitely worth a look at when it goes free in March!
|
||
| What's a good time-management strategy game? The BigFishGames are all...the same. |
|
|
On a completely different note, if you enjoyed games like World of Warcraft and Age of Empires, why not combine them and try out Starcraft II?
|
||
| what is the best laptop for traveling under $1000? |
|
|
I feel like this laptop would fit you needs quite perfectly. Not only does it have enough power to run various games, but the battery-life is extremely long.
|
||
| What's a good time-management strategy game? The BigFishGames are all...the same. |
|
|
I was a fan of those time-management style of games before, I played games like Evony, Ceasary, and Call of Roma quite religiously. It's a similar style to BigFishGames, but they are mainly based on PvP and working with others once you get into it.
|
| best paranormal games to play on a MacBook? |
|
|
Anything from Frictional Games is a definite must if you're into Paranormal games; this developer has created Amnesia and Penumbra, and is currently in the work on more.

| Pc Building Parts |
|
|
Newegg is a great source, as with Get.com's item lookup, although it will not take into account special deals at various sites such as mail-in rebates.
|
| Best Gaming PC |
|
|
I've recycled this answer a few times, but here's what I think:
Intel Core i5 Quad-Core: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80623i525... Cooler Master Hyper cooler: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-coo... ASRock Motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-p6... 8GB Patrio DDR3 RAM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/patriot-memory-pxd38g... EVGA 650 Ti Video Card: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-01gp3... 500W Power Supply: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/apex-power-supply-ald... This will run you up approximately ~$625.00 after shipping, with the only thing you needing to buy after is a monitor, a tower, a hard-drive, a mouse, and a keyboard. |
| Does anyone have an extra copy of HL2 under $0? |
|
|
If I remember correctly, you can get a free copy of Half-Life onto your Steam account if you have a Nvidia graphics card. Send him over to this link if he does have one:
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.p... |
| is dead island a good game |
|
|
I have Dead Island for the PC and 360, and I personally love this game. Dead Island is very similar to Borderlands in game-play, and it's open-endedness is probably the most well-done I've seen.
|
| what will be the best gamertag name |
|
|
Probably the one most people want is "Anonymous" or "Winner", generic names like that. Personally, I like names that aren't common at all.
|
| best hand soap? |
|
|
I persoanlly use Softsoap, and buy it in bulk. Typically, when a bottle gets to about the half-point mark, I fill it partially back up with just water and it works just as good.
|
||
| Half-Life - Steam or Console? |
|
|
Half-Life was originally designed for the PC, then ported over to the console; knowing this, I would stick with the PC version, unless you are a die-hard console fan.
|
| Is anyone else stoked for the PS Vita? |
|
|
Now that the PS Vita is out, and I have personally messed around with one, I can definitely say that the Vita did not live up the the hype that I felt like it had. Although the touch-screen feels natural, the Vita itself seems extremely lightweight, yet bulky, and strikingly similar to the PSP.
|
||
| What new xbox360 game should i buy under $75? |
|
|
I'd look into Batman Arkham City, Forza IV, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Saints Row III, and Dark Souls- these games had among the highest ratings during past year.
|
| has any one heard about fallout 4? |
|
|
Spoiler alert: The plot will take place in some sort of post-apocolyptic society.
On a more serious note, information about Fallout 4 has not been released or hinted at yet- there are some sites with user's opinions on what the game should be based off of. |
| Star wars the old republic? |
|
|
I feel as though The Old Republic definitely had some good hype, and as expected lived up to much of that hype. The way that they have been administrating the site, however, leads me to believe that it will devolve into a grind-fest. If you haven't played an MMORPG before, I'd definitely consider looking into gameplay videos, and making sure you can devote a little bit of time into it if you want to stay on pace with friends/etc. Goodluck!
|
||
| What is the best graphics card for modern games? |
|
|
The GTX550 (Fermi) will run nearly everything that is to be released in the next year or so with ease, and after mail-in rebate the price comes down to nearly $100.00 at Newegg.
|
||
| Macbook Pro alternative with similar build quality? |
|
|
This laptop is extremely cheap in comparison to the MacBook, but should be able to run with a higher speed and memory capacity. The screen is slightly bigger than the MacBook, and the battery-life is supposed to last extremely long, at approximately 4hr~6hr, depending on how intensely you use it.
|
||
| Is Battlefield 3 worth the purchase? |
|
|
Many of the users here are talking about not buying Battlefield III due to the Origin service. Luckily, someone has released a way to circumvent this, and run the game without Origin.
|
| What is the argument against going with virtual machines for game servers? |
|

| What is the best netbook available? |
|
|
The only negetive reviews for this netbook is one guy who tried to run Ubuntu on it, and another who has abnormally large hands. With an extremely high RAM/HDD for the size, the Acer Aspire seems to be one of the best netbooks out there.
|
||
| What is a good laptop that compares to a 13" macbook but isn't so expensive? |
|
|
This laptop is extremely cheap in comparison to the MacBook, but should be able to run with a higher speed and memory capacity. The screen is slightly bigger than the MacBook, and the battery-life is supposed to last extremely long, at approximately 4hr~6hr, depending on how intensely you use it.
|
||
| How often should a custom computer be upgraded and what core parts should be updated under $250? |
|
|
I typically don't do a full upgrade until one of the main components of my computer dies off. I feel as though upgrading parts such as the CPU/Video card/etc once a game begins to run slow, or it also dies off works well enough for me.
|
| I currently have a HTC Inspire on AT&T and am looking to upgrade, what would you suggest under $250? |
|
|
One of my friends actually upgraded from the Inspire to the Blackberry Torch a few days ago; apparently nearly every aspect of the Torch is MUCH better than the Inspire.
|
| What is the best foreign language service? |
|
|
I would definitely recommend the Pimsleur or Michel Thomas language learning system. I have personally used both of these for French, and my speaking and comprehension have improved near ten-fold. The style used is that of a podcast, but with the speaker have a conversation with his/her students.
|
| What's the best app quality/price wise for sleep monitoring? |
|
|
I actually use one of those currently called: "Smart Alarm." The Lite version has a small advert at the bottom.
Basically, what it does, is uses an accelerometre to detect when you begin to shift in your sleep around the time you set for you alarm, and it will wake you up when this happens. It also monitors the shiftyness at night, and the amount of sleep you got that night. |
| best photo editing software? |
|
|
I currently work as a graphics designer for a few websites; while GIMP is a fairly respectable program, there's almost no substitute for Adobe Photoshop. The amount of things you can do with it, and it's speed make it unbeatable in the Photo-editing world.
If I did not have Photoshop, nor could not get it, I would definitely start using Coral Painter. |
| Best Budget Gaming Mouse under $100? |
|
|
I currently use, and love, the Logitech G9X; it's high DPI (up to 5700), durability, simplicity, and weighting system make it the best mouse I've ever owned. It's currently $65.00 at most sites, but I have seen it as low as $45.00.
|
| What is a good pair of cheapish headphones to get under $25? |
|
|
The Creatieve Fatal1ty headset is what I currently use; it works wonders. At it's low price, it has an extremely high quality microphone, and a very respectable sound quality. Many people don't like the shape of the earpiece, which is slightly oval, but I personally love it more than others.
I've seen this particular headset as cheap as $27.00 before, but at the current price of $32.50, it's still a bargain! |
||
| What is the best music editing software available? |
|
|
Adobe is my preferred software developer for any sort of editing- it always provides extremely high-quality products. Adobe Soundbooth had been simple and easy to use when I needed it.
SoundBooth CS5 is quite expensive, but CS4/CS3 work just as well. |
||
| What is the best way to garner interest in a startup project under $2000? |
|
|
I've seen people use sites like Vimeo to show off a potential product, and in combination with Tumblr/Reddit/Facebook it can potentially take-off from there.
If you truely have a great idea and don't wish to give out ideas like it on these types of sites, then either finding a good friend with the PHP/SQL knowledge or learning it yourself will be a priority. Goodluck! |
| Any MMORPGs out there similar to Mabinogi? |
|
|
There are various companies that market multiple MMORPGs out there, such as Nexon, GamersFirst, and AeriaGames; I'd hit up their sites and see if anything interests you!
|
| What's the best digital camera for twelve-year-old? I don't want to spend more than $300. |
|
|
I would actually consider starting them on a slightly cheaper camera, around the $100.00~$150.00 range to see if they really do run with it and take off before making the investment on an extremely high-quality one. The difference between the pictures will be nominal anyways, to say the least.
|
| What is a good lower specced game? |
|
|
Check out Bastion!
|
||
| What is the best game for under $10? |
|
|
I have heard some amazing things about "Bastion," an Indie Action/Roleplaying game, other than what I've already preached in the past. This game is definitely one of the best games currently on Steam.
The current price is $15.00, but it usually comes down to below $10.00 during sales. |
| What is a good PC for gaming under $1000? |
|
|
Here's what I would buy:

ASRock Motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-p6... 8GB Patrio DDR3 RAM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/patriot-memory-pxd38g...

This will run you up approximately ~$625.00 after shipping, with the only thing you needing to buy after is a monitor, a tower, a hard-drive, a mouse, and a keyboard. |
| What is the best phone for texting? Could be from any company |
|
|
As I personally use T-Mobile, I feel like the MyTouch, or any sort of Blackberry would be the best for texting. Currently, it is offered for free with a contract and web-discount. The MyTouch has both a touchscreen, and a QWERTY keyboard that can be used for texting, and it's versatility is matched by its 4G capabilities.
Edit: Seems like the link provided changed to some sort of Netbook. Sorry about that. |
||
| Whats the best FPS game? |
|
|
I'll definitely agree with Jacob on the fact that Battlefield III was definitely one of the top shooters out currently. I feel like some of the older Call of Duty games may also be well up there, as with Team Fortress, and Bioshock.
|
||
| What are your thoughts on the mass effect 3 demo? |
|
|
The Mass Effect 3 Demo was pretty good, but I don't feel like it lived up to the hype that was given to it.
I'm sure it'll still be a remarkable game. |
| What is the best gaming console for an 8 year old boy under $250? |
|
|
I would personally go with either the Wii or the XBOX360 for an eight year old, as they have a much larger selection of games, and more games within an eight year old's demographic.
|
||
| good free games? |
|
|
Have you tried out League of Legends?
If you're looking into MMOs/free shooters, Aeria Games and Nexon have a very wide selection. |
| Your Favorite League of Legends Champion? |
|
|
Definitely Zilean. I typically play support, and he's an amazing champion to do so; you can build his items so that his resurrection skill can be used every 15 seconds!
|
| What is the best RPG you have played. |
|
|
The best RPG I've ever played on the PC is a toss-up between Diablo, Oblivion, Baldur's Gate, and Dragon Age (the first, as the second one was a major let-down.)
|
| So, I'm finally becoming a PC gamer.. need game advice. |
|
|
I'm personally extremely interested in Real-Time Strategy games myself, such as Age of Empires and Starcraft. Some other games I highly reccomend are Minecraft, Portal, Diablo, the Civilization series, and at least one high quality FPS game to see if it fits you on the PC (Such as Quake/CoD/BF). Even though you said you already have the Orange Box, please make sure to definitely play Half-Life.
EDIT: Another great game, if you haven't played it already, is Counter Strike. |
| Turn Based Strategy games under $25? |
|
|
Paradox games have an extremely high learning curve, but are some of the best strategy games I've seen, especially for starting up as an Indie game.
The Total War, and Civilization series are more well known and developed. |
| Best indie game on steam under $25? |
|
|
Space Pirates and Zombies is an extremely good shooter/strategy/indie game.
|
| How did Call of Duty become such a mainstream success? |
|
|
I'm going to take a completely different point than everyone else: Call of Duty had a great advertising campaign and boosted the popularity of the first CoD game to a reputable level. One this happened, people stuck to what they knew would be good.
|
| What is a good, relatively unknown, PS3-exclusive game under $50? |
|
|
I don't feel as though there are any good games out currently that are PS3 exclusives, but games like FF13 Versus, and Starhawk will be some of the games to look out for.
|
| Is the game "The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom" any good? |
|
|
It was on the steam sale for $0.50, and I picked it up one day. It was pretty good for the price, but nothing that I would really advocate and praise to others.
|
| Tera Online, WoW, or ??? |
|
|
The main thing that TERA has to boast is it's combat: the game allows you to run around, dodging hits, throwing strikes, it's something that no other game has been able to provide- it is basically a third person action game.
Guild Wars II is another great option, and is actually going to have the exact same style of fighting as TERA, but with no monthly fee. |
| What platform should I buy Mass Effect 3 on? |
|
|
I would definitely get the game for the PC, Origin may be terrible spyware, but there are ways to circumvent using it.
|
| What is the Best Final Fantasy |
|
|
Final Fantasy 7, and it's prequel "Crisis Core" are probably the best games I've ever played.
|
| Iphone games/ Ipad Games |
|
|
I've heard extremely good things about Tiny Tower.
|

| What are the best parts to build a gaming computer under $1000? |

ASRock Motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-p6... 8GB Patrio DDR3 RAM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/patriot-memory-pxd38g... EVGA 650 Ti Video Card: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-01gp3... 500W Power Supply: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/apex-power-supply-ald...

| I need a computer for school. under $1000? |
|
|

|
||
| What will be the next big game? |
|
|
Through my extremely biased opinion, I feel as though Diablo III is definitely going to be one of the bigger games.
|
| What is a great, but affordable, video card under $100? |
|
|
The cheapest within your price range would be the Nvidia GT440- the prices for this product scale from $120.00 to $75.00, depending on who manufactures it. Currently, there is a sale for the GT440 Fermi for $49.00, manufactured by a semi-respectable manufacturer: ZOTAC. Link is above.
|
||
| Best Affordable Graphics Card under $200? |
|
|
Although Radeon products have the best hardware to price ratio on paper, I know through personal experience that Nvidia products are much more efficient and have much better return policies.
|
||
| Would it be prudent to buy a Tablet PC now, or to wait a few months? |
|
|
Tablet computers work rather well at their current state, but in order to get more functionality for your dollar, I'd suggest getting one in a few months. Currently, the Lenovo IdeaPad is a great tablet, but will run you slightly over your price-range; although it has come down to nearly $250.00 in the past.
|
||
| How can i get my computer to run games better for free or cheap under $25? |
|
|
I personally do not agree with the other two posters; although something like Game Booster can improve your performance, it will not do it to a level that is very noticeable. Other than increasing your current RAM, I don't see any real hardware changes that you can make within your price-range.
I would make sure that your computer is not overly fragmented: this can be done through the Piriform application "Defraggler" found at http://www.piriform.com/defraggler , or through your Windows computer in a default program called "Defragmenter." |
