Unlike other online petitions this one may actually do something.
Quote:
" ...request the House that [the Classification of Computer Games and Images Act 1995] be amended to permit computer games to receive the R18+ classification when they have been refused classification under the Commonwealth Act."
So essentially, it doesn't matter if the OFLC ban games or Atkinson opposes the R18+ rating. In this case an amendment to state law would override federal law (this will also affect the other states as they could quite legally purchase a game from a QLD retailer and have it sent to their home state. The OFLC can only stop the games from being sold in the other states). ]]> Gaming Discussion Tiber Septim http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/433536-queensland-r18-classification.html The guys at Arstechnica think L4D2 on PC is worth the money. http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/433525-guys-arstechnica-think-l4d2-pc-worth-money.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:23:23 GMT http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2009/11/ars-presents-the-reasons-you-need-to-buy-left-4-dead-2.ars

Sounds good, and it's a Valve release, so the quality is almost always top notch. I for one won't be getting it for a while at least, I'll wait for it to drop in price.

It is very odd indeed to see Valve release a sequel to L4D so quickly. Most Valve games have an annoyingly long development time (and thus very high quality), but this sequel comes exactly a year after the original L4D. A very short development time for a Valve game.

Metacritic also rates the game highly, giving it 90%, which rates as universal acclaim based on 18 reviews at time of writing. Unlike the MW2 score, this one is also consistent with the user rating of 90%. ]]> Gaming Discussion Lord Sirian http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/433525-guys-arstechnica-think-l4d2-pc-worth-money.html New PS3 + PSP Updates http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/433385-new-ps3-psp-updates.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:20:25 GMT Today Sony released an update for both the PSP and PS3 systems.

The PSP update, v6.20 for models PSP-2000, PSP-2005, PSP-3000, PSP-N1000, and PSP-N1005. The original PSP-1000 does not support the update. The update adds the 'extras' category on the XMB, and access to the new 'Digital Comics' app, which is set to be launched December 2009 in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, UK and US. Japan will recieve the service slightly sooner, while France, Italy, Germany and Spain will have to wait until 2010 for the update. There have also been some changes to the way SensMe channels connects to the PS3.

The PS3 update, v3.10, adds facebook support via 'account management' on the XMB to the PS3, with trophies, downloads, and in-game events being posted. The friends list has gone through further development following the v3.00 update, users can change the colour of their profile, and photos are now displayed in a grid rather than list so more can be seen at once. There are also some additions to the 'TV' section in some countries, with links to catchup websites being added to some countries that don't currently have access to any. Furthermore, the browser has been improved to load pages faster, and a deal to port Firefox into the PS3 is looking ever closer.

It seems Sony are actually listening to what the customer wants :grin: ]]> Gaming Discussion afccarl666 http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/433385-new-ps3-psp-updates.html New Gaming Laptop Advice http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/433133-new-gaming-laptop-advice.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:06:16 GMT Looking to buy a new laptop mainly for gaming but also for some music too and came here for some advice on what to get. Currently I have a crappy EI system E3101 laptop which came with 256 RAM :eek: integrated graphics and sound cards through the Intel Celeron R 1.73gh processor and I'm finding I can't even enjoy old games much and struggle to keep up when using just a few applications.

Any advice on what to get for a good gaming computer at around £500 uk? ]]> Gaming Discussion funkball http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/433133-new-gaming-laptop-advice.html Program to take screenshots? http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/432869-program-take-screenshots.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:11:35 GMT Does anyone know of a program other than FRAPS, and Xfire that can take screenshots in-game?


I find it weird that IW didn't include Screenshots in MW2. I often get a good ratio going and wish to document my progress.



Thanks in advance.

There are a few things I don't understand about it though..

before that, I'm a very casual gamer. Some days i'll only be able to play an hour, while other days numerous hours. That's what I like about LOTR-easy to lvl up with limited time. Although i'm only lvl 16, I don't get how PvP works in it. Is it Monster vs Monster or Monster vs Player (you cant pvp with your main character?)

and how is Warhammer? Casual to lvl? DAOC RvR was insane even though it was my 1st MMO and a total noob in it.

How do the games compare in terms of lvl'ing and PvP'ing?
I'm not so caught up on end-game since it takes me forever to reach the level cap...

Anybody who has played these 2 games, please inform me as my trial for LOTR is done and I don't want to subscribe if the PvP is totally lame. ]]> Gaming Discussion pcshootshed http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/431480-warhammer-lotr.html does graw/graw2 have multiple languages? http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/431038-does-graw-graw2-have-multiple-languages.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:07:26 GMT As the title says does graw 1 or 2 have to ability to play the game with all stuff like the *menus, voices, and cut scenes* to be in a different language like French or German?

Alone in the Dark is a 2008 Game developed by Eden Games (Test Drive Unlimited) and published by Atari
all the games reviews sites criticize it for its lag and frame rate issues
not the funny part yet
here is what came in the Readme file of the game:

It received a Metascore of 89%, which is decent, but not as high as the original's 92%. However, when judging if a game is good or not, I'm more inclined to believe the user rating. And in this case it's terrible. - 13%. Maybe Infinity Ward should listen to their fan base in future rather than silence them...

Personally, I am gratified to see IW getting their just punishment for being so arrogant and uncaring. Maybe they will learn their lesson and in future, create decent games for PC gamers to play... ]]> Gaming Discussion Lord Sirian http://www.techsupportforum.com/gaming-forum/gaming-discussion/430720-modern-warfare-2-receives-generally-positive-reviews-but-very-low-user-rating.html
