...They seem to like the 3DS.
Fantasy Life I can comment on being lots of fun and a light RPG with some text heavy story segments, and the next Danball Senki (Double Super Custom) is out June 27th on 3DS so playing the older version might sell that to you.

Decent script and acting and decent reviews, is up to episode eight so far and has been renewed for a second sesaon recently.

Quote:
“Orphan Black” follows outsider, orphan and street-wise chameleon Sarah, who will be portrayed by actress Tatiana Maslany (“Picture Day”). After witnessing a woman’s suicide, Sarah assumes the stranger’s identity, who happens to look just like her. Expecting to solve all her problems by cleaning out the dead woman’s savings, Sarah is instead thrust headlong into a kaleidoscopic mystery as she realizes the dizzying truth: she and the dead woman are clones.

As Sarah searches for answers, she discovers the chilling fact that there are more people like her out there — genetically identical individuals who were planted in unsuspecting birth parents and nurtured in completely different circumstances. With no idea who created the clones, she’ll need to discover the reason in a hurry as an assassin is killing them one by one.

Those are the most likely ones I can think of at the moment.

Which other characters have really gone beyond the gaming medium and become famous among those who know absolutely nothing about gaming, in your opinion?

Basically I have a PSP 3000 and I've read you can get a longer lasting battery. I think currently the battery life is around 4 hours.

There seems to be a ton of knock offs out there so I need a little guidance.

What am I after?

Where should I buy?

Is there any chance of this borking my PSP? - I keep reading peoples accounts of this occurring all over the show.

Thanks! :) ]]> Console Section Kit http://www.bordersdown.net/threads/117912-PSP-Extended-Life-Battery Star Wars Rebels http://www.bordersdown.net/threads/117909-Star-Wars-Rebels?goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 20:16:28 GMT As the title, the new animated series is titled Rebels and is set between epp 3&4. Only thing they've shown is the graphics being used are going to be based on the original concept art that was done for epp4, so it should look quite cool at least in a retro way.

I really liked the clone wars so I hope this turns out just as well, though without plenty of Jedi's to bounce around they will have to be double sharp on the script and action. ]]> Music, Movies and TV fishbowlhead http://www.bordersdown.net/threads/117909-Star-Wars-Rebels Game Logic http://www.bordersdown.net/threads/117908-Game-Logic?goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 18:37:47 GMT We're talking gameplay mechanics and story elements that completely piss over the logic created within their own universe.

A good and obvious example would be Resident Evil with the doors. In the fifth one Chris can apparently move two ton boulders with sheer strength and muscle power, yet when it comes to opening something as frail looking as a wendy house door he needs a key. :rolleyes: ]]> General Gaming Kit http://www.bordersdown.net/threads/117908-Game-Logic Transporter 4 http://www.bordersdown.net/threads/117906-Transporter-4?goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 13:56:17 GMT No word yet on whether Statham is returning but it looks like it would be easy money for him to do so http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/27198/another-transporter-trilogy-coming I enjoyed the first, despite the daftness enjoyed the second more, but was disappointed with the third.

So despite the fact that I spent most of early 2013 slating the NeoGeo X Gold at length, I'm now interested in buying one of the sticks. More fool me, eh?

I've heard they work on PS3 and PC, is that right? Are there any drawbacks other than the reduced number of buttons compared to the NG Stick 2 and 3?

Also, slightly odd one, but is there any way to use a USB stick on a Dreamcast? I'm guessing not.

You grew up with Quake and Unreal Tournament? Well i have a new game for you. Its brought to you from the guys who brought you Trackmania, Nadeo. So you dont weapons per se but just one how would i call it, like the instagib rifle in UT,and one other that you can you in tunnels and thats it. This is a game of pure skill, no camping or perks here just old school dodgying and jumping. There are a few game modes.
Battle gives you team V team for capture to poles you have theses doted around maps and you need to attack and defend these before moving onto the next one, so its like domination but back and forth, there also royal which is every man or woman for themselves, or you can even go one on one in a mode called joust, there also a obstacle course type game which is very difficult but satifying to master.
So fancy trying shootmania you can here http://woobox.com/33nmqa, go sign up and try and see if you have the skills to pay the bills. Its not for the COD or twitch player and requires genuine skill and strategy to win. All this built into Nadeo's leaderboards and player skins and maps. ]]> First Play Reviews MisterBubbles http://www.bordersdown.net/threads/117902-Shootmania-Storm-review NEW GUILTY GEAR GAME http://www.bordersdown.net/threads/117899-NEW-GUILTY-GEAR-GAME?goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 16:26:12 GMT NKGPhKu3jNg awesomesauce

Depending on the number of participants we can do a best of 10 each for those involved. matches are fairly quick and I'll keep a spearate record of who wins what as we go.

I'll set it up for 7:00pm this evening (unless there are any last minute changes) under the name of Honeyman House.
