Erm, a couple of Years ago, either here or the JCC had this Web Browser Based Sci-Fi space manager game, where you had your own planet, could build stuff, there was like a different cooldown to building stuff like X_minutes...anyone remember what it is?

I borrowed a flatmate's copy of Bioshock and finished it last night.
Brilliant gameplay, effective atmosphere. If it wasn't such a great game the creep factor would have stoppped me playing a long time ago. But it was well worth it for such a complete gaming experience.

I need to complete Bioshock still, was an excellent game, I just stopped playing, like I always seem to.
Nath, the game you are on about sounds like Planetarion, which was great fun till they made you have to pay.
Wiki link for the game

High street retailers HMV and Woolworths are cutting the price of some video games by selling them VAT-free via special in-store kiosks.
The stores are to take advantage of a VAT loophole by allowing customers to order directly from the Channel Islands using electronic terminals.
The move, which will allow the retailers to match competitive internet prices, means customers can order goods under £18 with zero VAT added.
Woolworths has already installed kiosks in 40 of its stores, while HMV is planning to roll out the terminals in 250 of its sites.
A report in The Guardian claims: "HMV's new terminals offer 'free home delivery' not from the group's London distribution centre, but from its base on the Channel Islands tax haven of Guernsey. The extra expense of postage is paid for many times over by avoiding VAT."
I found this story on digital spy and hadnt heard anything about it. I've not been in HMV for games in a while but if this is true I might brave the longer walk there rather than the nearer Game store.

I love HMV and their free home delivery anyway.
Always gives them the edge over Amazon any day of the week.

My gaming PC has died and I'm in the process of speccing a new one.
I'm trying to decide between
Dual and Quad core (AMD or Intel)
and whether to go Dual SLI or Crossfire graphics cards or just pay for a really bitchin one.
The rest of the system will be 4gb RAM a 250 data HDD and 500 Storage HDD and then the rest of the gubbins will be largely standard.
I then have the joys of sourcing a decent PC builder
I also have a budget of 900-1000
Anyone have any suggestions? as I can't play Guild Wars/HL2/Oblivion ANYTHING untill it's fixed as the laptop is very basic.

I doubt you'll see any noticeable difference between dual and quad core CPUs. Unless a lot of stuff at once there's little point in going with a quad core, imo. I'd go with a better dual core CPU.
Same with the graphics card. I'd go for a really good one. I run all my games at native desktop resolution (1280x1024) with high settings and I have a GeForce 7600 GS and that's fine.
Oh, and building a PC is really easy these days. I'd offer to build it but I probably can't get to where you live. I'd say to do it yourself, but that's just me.

The sequel to the best Xbox 360 game and best game of this generation came out yesterday. Yes, new Geometry Wars! Get it! If you don't have an Xbox, buy one! Or buy Geometry Wars Galaxies for Wii or DS.

Picked up The Force Unleashed for my 360 yesterday and have to say I am very impressed, great graphics and sound, smooth fluid control and a lot of fun to play!

The more I play Unleashed the more I dislike it. For me it sums up all that's wrong with this generation of gaming. Too much focus on nice HD graphics (which are very nice) and AI programmes that no doubt cost millions to make but add very little.
The camera is very annoying, the gameplay seems to largely consist of kill, kill, kill, smash, smash, smash and I'm finding everything a bit of chore. In stark contrast I also got Soul Bubbles on the DS this week and that is a great game!!
I hope my views on Unleashed will change with time, but at the moment I just don't have an urge to switch it on.

But smashing stuff is fun 
I've not yet played Unleashed, but from what i've heard it's similar to Republic Commando in that it has good story and great characters, but is far too short.
I know two people who have already completed it, one who beat the final boss first time.
Seems that they spent all that time and money promoting it as some great new chapter in the Star Wars Saga and how great the graphics are, but spent less time on making it tough or lengthy.
At least if it was available on PC then expansions could be provided.

My son played through Unleashed in virtually one sitting, he thought that it was a little bit too easy although he said that it felt like SW I tend to disagree watching some of the Force Powers that the Apprentice has.
