As I was playing Dungeons of Daggorath again this morning, I was struck by how much clever audio can enhance a game, more than making up for simplistic graphics and the like. I think we have a tendency to strongly underestimate the power of sound for suggesting certain emotions and sensations.

UNBOXING again, THANKS MarkVergeer!
PART 1:

Check it out, I'm very happy with these, especially the two part look at the ColecoVision USB 128-in-1 multicart! Let me know what you think guys, thanks!

Play.tm has a huge History of Resident Evil up. It's a lengthy read, but I suspect survival horror fans will want to check it out. Here's a snippet:

If Alone in the Dark is credited with inventing the modern survival horror genre, then it was Resident Evil that refined it and turned into something that truly appealed to almost every gamer.

Of course, if you want to learn more about Alone in the Dark and its relation to the Resident Evil series--it's chapter 1 of Vintage Games! :)

Hey guys, after a couple months (damn lack of time) here finally I present MaximumRD's Intellivoice parts II AND III!

Throbbing headache when trying to run the PC version of Gears of War. It crashes when you try to start it on any computer. How come? Read more below...

Check it out! Daniel Bienvenu contacted me to narrate a video for his latest COLECOVISION project. He is a homebrew programmer deeply involved in programming new titles for the classic Colecovision system. This title will be worked on throughout 2009 and hopefully debut sometime in 2010! Here is the resulting video, it is just one of a series of sneak peek teaser videos to get the word out on this exciting new project for Colecovision enthusiasts!

The discussion on Pinball in some of the other threads have inspired me to go look for some nice Pinball games that I personally think are worth checking out. When I was a kid we had our own true full-size pinball machine back home it was a gift to my dad somewhere in the 70's. It was a simple machine and I can't remember the name of it.

Tomorrow European shops will start selling the PC-version of GTA IV and in anticipation of the release Rockstar has stated that potential buyers should prepare themselves to put up with the SecuROM 7-copy protection scheme.
