    Gaming Trial Games

    I've just downloaded the trial version of Joe Danger from the PSN. When I first started it there were lots of "Coming Soon" levels that I assumed would unlock if/when I bought the full game. But they seem to unlock as I play through the trial! So my question is this, other than trophies, does...

    Gaming PS3 Networking & Sharing

    Hi guys, I've just moved house, hooked up my PS3 and PC to a new Wirelesss network, and I'm struggling to get them to play nice together. Before I start messing around with settings on both of them, I just wanted to check if anyone knew a reason that PSN being down would stop me from sharing...

    Gaming NETGEAR Wireless Dongle Help

    If I remember correctly, you can uninstall the Netgear programme and just control the dongle using Windows. I'd suggest uninstalling it, reboot the PC, and then set up a network in the same way you normally would in Vista. There's a setting somewhere that says "Allow Windows to Configure this...

    PS3, iPhone hacker sets sights on Windows phones

    GeoHotz is at it again, this time with Windows 7. In a twist to the now-familiar tale though, Microsoft seem to be supporting the idea! Ketchup

    Portal 2 Has Cross Platform Play

    Aah, that's alright then. Not sure which version I'd prefer to play, I played the original on Xbox 360, but have since sold that and gotten a PS3. It'll probably come down to price in the end, £25 on the PC vs £40 on PS3 is a bit of a difference to play the same game. Not sure that the "free"...

    Portal 2 Has Cross Platform Play

    Source PS3 owners get a bit of a bonus when buying Portal 2 it seems. A free copy of the PC/Mac version to play via Steam! And the ability to play PS3 vs PC/Mac multiplayer games! It'll be interesting to see how it turns out, most of the time I've heard cross-platform experiments have...

    Sony: 'We will fix' PS3 hack with updates

    I'll be honest, I would love all this to be a massive hoax by Sony, just to boost PS3 sales. GeoHot and fail0verflow team to get a handsome pay off, Sony to get PS3s into lots of new homes during a difficult time financially, and the only thing that the whiny pirates can get for free are demos...

    Hardware just bought ps3

    I'd be careful with the video cables, I looked into it myself a while ago and it seems that cables like those are only one direction. So they'll take your VGA output from a graphics card and show it on your HDMI TV for example, but in the other direction (HDMI output on PS3 to VGA input on...

    PS3 keys finally released

    Somebody made a post in one of the other topics (which I now can't find and therefore give credit to) but what is this likely to mean for PS3 backwards compatibility on a PS4?

    I'm getting a free game on Steam. What get?

    28.3 Hours on Call of Duty 857.9 Hours on Counter Strike Source ~90 Hours of Left for Dead (1 & 2) 177.4 Hours on Team Fortress 2 I'm guessing you play online a lot, so any of the newer Call of Duty games? You seem to have a lot that are unplayed though, games like Mass Effect 1 & 2, GTA4...

    Ubisoft backtrack on DRM

    "It looks like DRM checks on games such as Assassin’s Creed 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction have been changed for the better. The controversial DRM system was launched earlier this year with Settlers 7, and required players to be permanently connected to the internet in order to play. Now the...

    Gaming Wtf is this email?

    If that's the case, how can 2 people set up 2 "identical" e-mail addresses? Surely when User #2 tries to use it they're told the username is already in use?

    Gaming PC crashes while browsing and gaming

    It isn't a sound like the last note that was playing before the crash is being drawn out is it? I had a similar issue with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, which seemed to be solved using this hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979444 I couldn't tell you how I found it, lots of googling...

    Hacking Patch PS3 Games Offline

    Ok, that sounds like it might work, however getting my PC onto the same network might cause more of an issue. I'm currently using mobile broadband due to the PC and PS3 being near each other and so suffering from the same connection issues. If I can get a proxy all set up and running I'll give...

    Hacking Patch PS3 Games Offline

    Does anyone know if it's possible to patch PS3 games without using the PS3 to download the files? I've managed to download and install the latest 3.50 firmware using my PC and a USB stick, but I now want to patch some games too (Mainly Heavy Rain for the Move compatibility). The wireless...

    Gaming I don't meet the requirements for Firefox 4.

    Admittedly it's hypothetical at the moment, but what are we expecting to happen if you're already running Firefox on a machine they drop support for? Will you be harassed to update to the latest version that you can't run, or will there be some sort of system check? I'd hate to get stuck in an...

    Gaming How many of you use or have used Linux at one point

    I've messed around with Linux a few times over the past 6-7 years or so, mostly just as something to do. I started off using Red Hat dual booted with XP, had RH set to be the default operating system so I used it quite a lot. Eventually the hard drive went and when I replaced it I just didn't...
