No it doesn't happen with most PC releases only ones with an always on DRM. It took over a month for Diablo III to be sorted out and its still not completely stable. This is isn't something that sorts itself out it just doesn't work.

Finished Nights into Dreams HD (bought it when it first came out and only just got round to finishing it!).

Having never had a Saturn I never knew about NiGHTS until I first ever played Sonic Adventure and the pinball machine in Casinopolis. I don't know why but it somehow fascinated me, maybe it was just how unusual this pinball machine was compared to the other one that caught me. Ever since then I have always wanted to play it but could never really justify getting a Saturn and I didn't know about the PS2 version.

Just completed it and what a great game, so unique. Most of my mates are into FIFA and when they saw me playing this game, there were fascinated by it too. I think the game is perfect how it is even though it throws you into the deep end. If anyone doesn't have NiGHTS, buy it from XBL whilst it is still cheap!

After becoming increasingly frustrated in not being able to find the game I want to play, I'm going to create my own. My own Cyberpunk Graphical Adventure Game. It's going to kick ass, coming out... eventually!

I've never even heard of Cypher before, it looks pretty cool. Even has printable "feelies" :lol:

As lame brained as it sounds, I've been wanting to create my own adventure game for a long while now... and I've had ideas for the scenario. But ideas don't mean shit. I'm just going to start writing and working and see what happens. Can't do it unless you do it right?

The Sim City stuff is getting ugly

One guy was told his account would be banned if he tried to dispute not getting a refund from EA.

Good video. This is one of the main reasons why MS would be dumb as fuck to make their next console always needing to be online.

The one thing I'll say is that I have no faith in reviews. Look at Mass Effect 3, its like every review for the DLC I read is like "Yea they fixed the ending in this DLC" then in the next DLC review its like "Yea so that last DLC dd nothing for the ending, but this one totally fixes it."
