Do I need to play Prince of Persia Sands of Time to be able to follow the story in The Two Thrones and Warriors Within? Becuase I don't own Sands of Time and want to play the other two.

You'll appreciate the overall story much more (particularly TTT's ending) if you play SoT first. Plus that game's narrative is just superior anyway. Like, you can play SoT and pretend the other two don't exist and be perfectly content.
Does anyone know anything about the PC Version of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions?
It was released later than the console versions, so the websites I've checked never reviewed it.
It's also down to $20 dollars already. Which makes me suspicious of a crappy port.

I asked this in the Fallout thread, but no one has had anything to say about it, so I will ask in here too.
Is there any way to get Fallout to play in a windowed mode? I looked in the config file but I didn't see any obvious options. I also tried adding a -window argument to the shortcut but no dice there either.
Dang... I'm sorry I can't help you there. If I had owned it I would have worked on seeing if I could get it to work.

I'm starting to think I should just do a DOS install of Fallout through DOSbox and then run DOSbox in windowed mode.
Trying to google or forum search a solution is painful, since including the word 'window' in a search will bring up every reference to Windows ever, everywhere.
I've got a question - A couple of days ago Heavy Rain was announced to be a Greatest Hits title via the Playstation Blog. Along with the red case, the cover denoted it was a "Director's Cut" and the page itself hinted at extra content included on the disc. That tag is now removed from the pictured case, as is the text. The question is does the Greatest Hits version contain anything additional other than coming with the Move patch pre-installed? I can't find anything about it anywhere.
The 'case' in question:

It tracks the current sale and, when known, will post the next week or two of upcoming sales. They just also post all upcoming releases anyway. I think theres another thread somewhere on the board dedicated to just future releases, but I dont have it bookmarked.
On pre-ordering from Best Buy: Can I go in and get a pre-order with just $5 or somesuch like that? I tried preordering Infamous 2 online with them but they put a hold on your account of the full game cost and refresh it EVERY FUCKING DAY. The thing doesn't come out for like 3 months.
Is there an easy way to move S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat saves around from one computer to another? My main machine is in the shop, and my old desktop is not quite as meaty as my own.

Yeah they don't let you pay only $5 at Best Buy anymore. I asked the cashier about it and she said there were lawsuits because some people didn't get a pre-order gift and raised a fuss about it.

Uncharted 2 can be beaten over a weekend, go do it.
OH MY GOD WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME IT IS SO GOOD!
Sorry for the caps, but I have had it for a year and hadn't played it yet. It is rather good, like I said. I'm actually playing it on Hard right now, and I have made it to Chapter 15 with few difficulties.

Ugh. God, why do they make it so hard to buy something from them? I cancelled the pre-order days ago and the hold is STILL in my account, refreshing every day! Fuckers.
I'm just gonna pre-order it the day before it releases then.

Yeah you'll still the the pre-order bonus too. Just be sure to go in a few days early just to see if it still exists. I've seen them take the pre-orders down if they have too many built up.

I had it on normal and there were a few parts on the game that pissed me off, but nothing Uncharted 1 hard (fuck the Church courtyard and the sewers).
Well, I understand that the temple area will just throw wave after wave of enemies, so I could conceivably turn the difficulty down. Honestly, if it weren't for the trophies, I would probably play on Easy. I'm not like crazy into Trophies/Achievements, but I will shoot for a platinum if it doesn't seem too bad, and if I really like the game.

Unfortunately, unless you like online multiplayer, about 30% of the trophies are multiplayer related. Which made me sad.

Not true, unless that specific store stopped. I know the store here has a computer set up where you can select the game you want and it will print a slip that you bring to the cashier.

When was the last time you pre-ordered something from the store? Just curious... I tried to get Dead Rising 2 pre-ordered and they told me that. This was a few days before it came out.

Only two for the platinum, though. (Easy, too: play a competitive game and play a co-op game.) The rest are DLC related.
Now, if you want to talk about online trophies that are frustrating, AC:BroHood's got a couple. There's the typical "Make it to level 50" that took me around 30 hours, and then the Abstergo Employee of the Month that requires you to get every single online bonus, including Extreme Variety (15 bonuses in a single match).

I need to re-attempt crushing on Uncharted 1. I managed to beat #2 with only a few fits of rage, but I did cheese the end-boss.
I've only pre-ordered one game from BestBuy (Dead Rising 2) as part of the pay $10 now get a $10 gift card later promotion that they still run on various games. After calling 4 or 5 times fighting to get my gift card I realized that my wasted time was worth more than the promised $10. Bloody points programs.

Fuck those point systems and buyers clubs. All they are is an attempt by the company to game you into spending more money to opt into a program that offers "rewards" they know most people won't go through the trouble of redeeming.
I'm kind of itching for an rpg to play until Dissidia 012 comes out. On the PSP preferably. Tactics Ogre:LUCT looks....kind of alright, but I've been thinking about either Brave Story or Jeanne D'Arc because they're on PSN and they're relatively cheap.

If you're interested in SRPG's (and by tactics ogre, I take it that you may be) you should consider the Valkyria Chronicles series. The PS3 game is awesome, and I hear that the PSP follow up is just as good.
If not having played the first game doesn't matter if I should jump right to the second, then I'll consider it. I was actually set on Jeanne D'Arc last night until I found out that the game puts a turn limit on its fights, like finish in 10 turns or its game over. That the kind of arbitrary requirement that really kills interest in a game for me. If anyone has played Jeanne D'Arc I'd love to know if this is something this can get annoying or it there's no way you'd end up using up all your turns in a fight unless you just stood there and guarded for twenty minutes.

Thanks though. Lemme know if you ever need me to plunge into the darkest bowels of the intertubes for your pleasure.
