  1. Crystal Dynamics is a wholy owned development house for Eidos, or was last time I checked (they are the ones responsible for the redo of Tomb Raider, they blew Core Design out of the water on that one).
  2. Chapter 11 is where they still operate business right? Just means they are going through the courts to work out their situation with creditors doesn't it?
  3. Sony is taking a bath on the sales of all of it's hardware it seems.
  4. http://kotaku.com/355162/electronic-arts-taking-on-gi-joe They are preparing a GI Joe game to be possibly released with the upcoming movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1046173/) this summer. Goto Superherohype for two pics of a bad butt Snake Eyes. http://www.superherohype.com/news/gijoenews.php?id=6958
  5. http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/d3-...o-bandai/?biz=1 Namco Bandai is acquiring D3, pubisher of Puzzle Quest. Could Puzzle Quest 3 be with Tekken characters?
  6. http://kotaku.com/5152300/midway-files-for-bankruptcy Chapter 11 but still bankruptcy. Maybe they can come out of this and become profitable some day.
  7. Sounds interesting, especially for a Nintendo fan. As far as getting shafted on something for $10, I remember buying the 2 Game Player's Encyclopedia for $10 back in the day and realising it was just a reprint of the articles from the previous year or so of their Nintendo Player's Guides. That is shafted.
  8. Tim Lindquist is one of the editors/founders of Gamefan that went over to PS Extreme. The only other one that I know of that is close to games still is Eric Mylonas and he is just writing guides. Terry Wolfinger was involved in Hardcore Gamer mag for awhile (not sure if he still is). Dave Halverson (E. Storm + others) is at Play right now. Nick des Barres (Nick Rox/FF Rox/etc) is at Play as the Japanese correspondent More info on most of the others is on the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameFan I am finally seriously thinking about setting up something here for all of the info I know about Gamefan (and my personal experiences with obtaining it).
  9. Watch ebay, I have seen about 50 issues of PSExtreme go by in the last month or so, not sure what issues but most had no bidders. The two I have you need are here, finishing the scan of the second one.
  10. Ain't it like the Mii's but with fish or something? Nevermind, found the Wiki for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Aquarium
  11. Didn't NEC do something like that with PowerVR on PC's years ago when they were trying to battle the 3DFx boards? I remember in an issue of Next Generation that there was an interview with a developer that stated NEC was paying people to make games on their hardware (or at least support it).
  12. The only exercise mat I have seen for the NES didn't have anything on the other side of it. Of course, I have only seen one, about 20+ years ago. The 'ring' thing is the Activator that Sega released for the Genesis (EGM did several specials on it around issue 30 to 45, not sure which one specifically but that is the range I think it is in). It was interesting, just ahead of it's time, same thing with the Power Glove (why hasn't someone just made a pair of gloves you could strap the Wiimote to and viola!, Power Glove).
  13. Off topic a little but the 360 version of Puzzle Quest was the only version to get any kind of expansion also (is there some X loving going on behind the scenes? )
  14. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...2U&refer=uk Seems Square-Enix is infatuated with Lara Croft and have offered up $120 million to acquire Eidos and all IP's.
  15. Here is a list of the 'recent' top 20 games selling games on Wiiware for those interested in it: http://www.wiiware-world.com/news/2009/02/...in_usa_11th_feb Here are some recent additions to the Virtual Console in the US: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES) 500 points Kirby's Dream Land 3 (NES) 500 points Mercs (Sega Genesis) 800 points M.U.S.H.A. (Sega Genesis) 800 points Sonic Chaos (Sega Master System) 500 points Wonder Boy in Monster World (Sega Master System) 500 points Anyone remember what M.U.S.H.A. stands for without looking at the listing on your Wii?
  16. NNB is on the list, right after Flower, according to the linked site up there, it should be coming sooner than later. Bomberman Ultra is listed as an upcoming title too.
  17. Apparently there is a fan made version of a game similar to Guitar Hero for the NES, it is called D-Pad Hero. Check it out at the link below. http://dpadhero.com/Home.html
  18. Thanks to the following site for this info: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/02/11/...s-spring-fever/ Seperate from the Spring Fever are some games available on the PSN: PSP: Phantasy Star Portable (demo) PS3: Savage Moon (full game) Mirror's Edge Exclusive free DLC map 3 on 3 NHL® Arcade (demo and full game available) TV Shows: 24 Season 7 episode 7 Supernatural Season 4 episode 4 Movies: Frozen River Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist Rocker, the W. I know some of these may be old but they are still interesting. Anyone have any additions?
  19. I have several issues, are you sure those are the only two of PSExtreme you want? I also have these plus the two you want: v4i11 Oct 99 v4i12 Nov 99 v5i3 Feb 00 v5i4 Mar 00

    No one donating mags from your country is probably because we don't have anyone from there yet. Don't let that stop you from being the first, though. When you get the list of issues you are able to donate please post it in this forum below (we are trying to gather up what is available so that we don't buy redundant issues on e-bay). http://www.retromags.com/forums/index.php?...ic=3411&hl= Here is a guide to help out with the editing and such tasks if you want to read it. The main thing to keep in mind is that the scans need to be at least 300 DPI (anything lower just doesn't look good) and the width at least 1440. http://www.retromags.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2727 If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, someone will be willing to offer help.
  21. February 17-22 all subscribers to Xbox Live will be able to use, normally, Gold member benefits for GTA 4's expansion set to release next week as Downloadable Content. http://xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/grand-...mp;RSSid=952981 Edit: Fixed link, thanks E-Day.

    Welcome to the site, I am kind of at a loss on your post though. Are you talking about issues you have available that your planning on donating somehow (you scan or ship to someone that will for you)? Either way, welcome. The more members we have from other countries willing to help out with releases from their countries the better.
