    American McGee's Alice

    American McGee is working on a sequel; this is confirmed on his forums. A movie's not happening anytime soon. It started development in 2000. I have 2 copies...one I bought for £9 on Amazon, another I bought in Gamestation last month for 99p. The 99p one is in better condition than the Amazon...

    Im selling my BF BC2 but ive played online. can i still sell it?

    As I said, I'm interested. I believe you should technically be able to transfer the game but you need a buyer who's patient enough in case it needs to be processed by EA support (who can be a bit dim and slow-working to boot). I've transferred a game to my brother so I know what they're like. If...

    Im selling my BF BC2 but ive played online. can i still sell it?

    Is it PC version? If so I'd be interested in it if it's a decent price. Send me an email at lucibel_mel at hot mail dot com and we can see if we can work out whether it's permanently tied to your account or not.

    Game install sizes are getting bigger and bigger... !!

    Games take 400GB of my primary hard drive. Recently got another 500GB just for music, backups and video editing. This is why I buy physical when possible rather than Steam et al. Backing up/downloading hundreds of gigabytes is a b****... Far Cry 2 does only take up 3GB in its game folder...

    what is the best download website for games

    I only use Steam for Valve games. I don't want to buy Steam exclusive retail games - a game relying on a third party store to play? No. GOG is my favourite D2D and Gamersgate tie for second place (though GG don't have such good deals, apart from their blue coins bonuses for preorders)...

    Master of orion and outcast coming to GOG?!?

    I downloaded ISOs of it and it worked fine on Vista. However, after playing it for a few minutes I shot Atari an email asking them to re-release it via somewhere like GOG... I'd definitely buy it. Hopefully they are able to do something with the resolution. Game looks amazing but def spoiled...

    *** Splinter Cell: Conviction - Official Thread ***

    Another "not touching this or Assassin's Creed 2 with a bargepole due to the DRM" chappie here. I'm buying a PS3 next week and I still won't get these games. Ubisoft don't deserve my money.

    If it happens again, try setting your display properties to Vista basic mode.

    EA follows Ubisoft, will sell titles with 'always on' DRM

    I don't have a flaky connection, but I live in a house where the woman who owns it keeps disconnecting the broadband internet wireless modem. She thinks broadband is like dialup and that it's using up bandwidth even if a computer isn't switched on. I've tried many times to educate her but she...

    Games exiting to desktop when running browser at same time...

    Hiya, has anyone else experienced games crashing to desktop when running Firefox in background? I was having a graphics problem a few months ago where Crysis and other DX10 games crashed altogether. Now, I've got a new GPU, power supply and also popped in another 1GB of memory (and done a...

    EA follows Ubisoft, will sell titles with 'always on' DRM

    Good to see a long thread about this. In my view game companies shouldn't impose this on customers regardless of whether internet is up to scratch or not. People shouldn't have to rely on external servers or factors to play their game. It is further control by publishers - they can dictate...

    Anyone else's EA PC accounts down for them?

    I can't login to my download manager, says password is incorrect. Inputting my email in forgot password page on EA's site comes up with system error, please try again later. Just me, or is EA having server/authentication problems?

    purchasing games on disks

    If you download the 2 latest patches (1.41 and 1.5) you won't need the image for BF2, the 1.5 patch removes the DRM and need for disk in drive.
