Yeah it was probably the PC version. It has an angry Milo on the cover. Cheers.

I think theoretically any USB storage device should work. It can only use up to 32 GB no matter how big the drive is. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/storage
If that drive doesn't work you can also go pick up a cheap USB memory stick.
Looks like Rockstar specifically lays out some requirements: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/50871/asked-answered-gtav.html
What game is this one a clone of? My wife plays it on the computer all the time and I'd love to find one like this for her to play on her iPhone or tablet. Thanks!!!

It's a match-3 puzzle game. The original game was called Shariki, but that's probably a clone of more recent games like Bejeweled or Puzzle Quest.

Silly question, but does anyone know if the CoD: Ghosts Multiplayer reveal a few weeks ago was played on Xbox One or was it on the 360?
I'm pretty sure you all can assume where I'm getting at by asking this question.

Yes that would work, but a warning: the Xbox360 formats the whole 1TB HDD and partitions only a 32GB part to be usable. You could still use the rest of the 1TB on your PC, but you all data on the HDD will be lost during that process.
USB memory sticks are the other option.
I believe it was either Xbone or PC. If you meant that sniper gameplay. They're doing the scopes more realistically on the next-gen consoles, the scopes themselves zoom instead of zooming the whole screen.

Graphics is everything you see.
It's broken down into subdivisions like textures, IQ, lighting etc.
Can't AFAIK.
It doesn't really make much difference anyway.
Just point at objectives and press select. You get points that way if your squad members cap that objective. That's all a squad leader is good for imo.
Thanks for the reply, i used to do that loads in MAG, those extra points will help.
@SatansReverence thanks.
3D Land is totally fantastic and should definitely be one of the ones you pick up. I don't really know which of the New Super Mario games would be preferable as a second one. The first was enjoyable but I never played the second so I don't know if the somewhat more negative reaction to that was actually due to the game or just general fatigue with the "New" franchise.
For games that have been released on both the Famicom Disk System and the Famicom (i.e. Legend Of Zelda, Metroid) were there any notable differences between the FDS and Famicom versions, aside from sound effects and music?
Also, have any Famicom Disk System games ever been or will be re-released on other formats?

IIRC Kid Icarus and Metroid both had save files on the FDS versions, but were replaced by passwords on other formats.
And I know that Nazo no Murasame Jo and the Famicom Tantei Club games have both been re-released on GBA for the Famicom Mini series in Japan.

Puzzle Quest 2 on iOS. It seems like you have to collect skulls as well as gauntlets to use your weapons. But the main screen doesn't seem to show you how many skulls you have. I see where every color orb is and where the gauntlets are, but no skulls. If I'm not mentally keeping track, do I have to tap the weapon and see if I have the confirm button available?

I have no idea if the game is different on iOS, but normally the skulls are instant damage and not stored. The gauntlets are how you perform attacks with your weapon and do need to be accumulated to use.
Thanks for the help! Will probably take 3D Land and Super Mario Bros 2 then, since I can't find the first one anywhere.
What about Paper Mario, is that considered good?
I found this out. The key phrase in your post is 'designed with EGA in mind'. It *is* running in EGA, but it's doing so by remapping the CGA palette for any given graphic to four specifically-chosen colours in the EGA palette, so everything is still restricted to a four-colour palette, a little like how the GBC would recolour existing GB games.
Ultimately, then, it allows the colour range from EGA without needing to make significant changes to the actual artwork- the artwork is unchanged, just recoloured.
I perhaps should have offered up a few more screenshots, given the ones I picked were kinda close to the existing CGA palette. There are some enemies in quite a deep blue that doesn't exist in normal CGA graphics modes:

Sir!
The game only explains that you collect gauntlets to use weapons, but when you tap on your weapons, it says it needs X gauntlets and Y skulls to use it. If you have it, there's a confirm button. If you don't, there's a cancel button. But there is no counter for skulls on the UI, which makes this very confusing.
And yeah, skulls do deal instant damage as well. It's weird and it's not communicated well at all.
EDIT: I am a massive, massive idiot. The skull represents the damage that the weapon does, not the cost. God.

Probably a stupid question but I'll give it a go.
I've got a Ps3 with a US and a UK account, is it possible to move a Disgaea 4 save from my US account to my Uk account? If so how?

And no you can't transfer things between accounts.

3DS question.
I played my wife's cousins 3DS (who he borrowed) and its a Japan 3DS. It had Resident Evil and he was able to change the display to English for voice/text.
How can you tell if a game does this? Say I want to buy a JP for MH4 but also want animal crossing. I don't care about English in MH4..but I want it in AC...
Is this a pipe dream?

Is Japan even a tier 3 country for Microsoft to release the Xbox One in? I was watching their niconico channel and almost none of their first party trailers have Japanese dialogue and about only half of them even have Japanese subtitles.

here's a good stupid question for you GAF.
I want to play some gen 1 Pokemon and need to buy a gameboy. What's the best one to get? I never owned a gameboy, so I really don't know what to get. I know the gameboy advance and I think the GBA SP can play regular gameboy games right?
I'm looking for a balance of best screen, best price, best battery life, and ability to play Pokemon Yellow and maybe Gen 2 Pokemon games, I don't care about GBA games, but if the Advance is actually better than the gameboy I might get it. I own a N64 with Stadium and the GameBoy pak, but want to be able to play it on the go.
Edit: Purple and Yellow are my favorite colors so something with either of those colors available would be cool.

Anyone able to help me? My PS controller has been screwing up today, not sure why but when I press the PS button to turn the PS3 on, nothing happens, so I turn the console on via the button and it launches. I then press the PS button to turn on the controller but all it does it flash all four red lights... The only way to get it to work is to plug in the usb charging cable into the controller..
Any ideas?
Greatly appreciate any help.

Sounds like you need to reset the controller. The first 3 steps from this link should help.

What does the Shield Materia do in FF7? Seriously, i cast it and nothing changes. This question has been nagging me for 16 years.

The spell:
"Shield is a spell that grants the Shield status to one ally, making them immune to physical and elemental damage. However, they can be still damaged by non-elemental magic or items. It costs 180 MP and comes on the magic materia Shield, but one must level it up by getting 10,000 AP for it before it can be used."
The status:
"Shield is a positive status effect in Final Fantasy VII given by the spell of the same name. When under its effect, the target voids all normal attacks and absorbs all elemental damage, though they can still be damaged by items (not when used in W-Item) and non-elemental special attacks. Shield status can be removed by DeBarrier and DeSpell."
Are there any other newish games around in the same graphical style, indie or not, as Thomas Was Alone? I need some inspiration for my master studies. For those not in the know, I'm basically looking for games with more abstract graphics or put more bluntly, with designer/programmer graphics

Have you looked at the MegaZeux community? It's pretty much nothing but designer/programmer graphics.
I think the only GBA that can't play Gameboy games is the micro. Any of the backlit models will work fantastically. IIRC there was only one GB Pocket that was backlit, and it is extremely rare.

VVVVVV has very simple graphics. Dyad has quite abstract graphics. The Last Guy has quite programmer looking graphics. Limbo possibly, as it is just silhouettes mainly. Splice has quite abstract menu/level transitions. Spacechem is fairly simple and flat graphically most of the time. Super Hexagon is fairly simple/abstract.

There are many different kinds of RPGs. I suggest Final Fantasy X if you want a turn-based traditional Japanese RPG or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim if you want a first-person real-time western RPG.Hi GAF ,
What is a good RPG for newcomers to the genre ?
An RPG that isnt really heavy, light and make you love and get into RPG's?
My friend wants to try an RPG, and asked me where to begin and i had no idea.
Instead of making a new thread i thought to ask here.
Thanks
Get the GBA SP - the Pearl ones or Graphite. They're the best ones to get in your case. Note you'll need an adapter for headphones or get a GBA SP headphone thing.
No, never heard of it. Do you have a link or something? ^^
Thanks, great examples. I thought of VVVVVV as well. Limbo isn't really what I'm looking for, you'd still need some level of graphics skill to make something like that, BUT I'm also looking for simplistic games like Limbo that try to tell a story through small means, which is sort of what my master studies are about. Abstract games with more or less heavy storytelling would be excellent as I'm looking for unique story presentations.

The banned Live Account thread got me thinking about my recent Live experiences. Xbox Live keeps asking me to verify my account. Asking if I still have access to my primary email, and wanting me to give them my phone number, and making me log on to Live via a my computer and click an activation type link.
I did the whole thing twice, and the last time I started up the xbox I just canceled out and went to play the game that was in the tray. What's going on, and how do I fix it?

I've never played a FF game. Will I like FFXV?
Caveats and snippits:
I don't really like turn based combat;
I liked WoW, FFXIV looks a bit like this and interests me but don't have the time to invest right now;
I prefer action RPG but still like traditional if done right;
Game I liked this gen was Kingdoms of Amalur. Game I didn't like was Fallout 3. Game that was alright but could have been better was Skyrim.
Thoughts/advice?

ffxv is closer to kingdom hearts, and is being done by the kingdom hearts team. look up ff7: crisis core and that is most likely how ffxv will play (although no one has seen if there would be any unique battle system in place)
besides some lore, ffxv may not be traditional ff.
