Any Syndicate / Syndicate Wars Fans Here?
I used to play Syndicate a lot on my Amiga many moons ago and same with Syndicate Wars on my PS1.

WASD vs fat fingers -what do you do?
What do some of the older PC gamers do when faced with the issue of the WASD keyboard keys? Going from an Xbox with a few keys to a keyboard with a zillion keys for every command when you have fat fingers is extremely hard. What do you folks do to replace the WASD? I am thinking of a zboard or perhaps just building myself…
FIFA 13 - Match up thread
While we wait for the next iteration. Why not get a few MSE-ers playing against each other. Simply state you want a match and someone should quote you for a game. Please state whether your gamertag is xbox 360 or PSN. Also if you're playing FUT or Normal Teams.
The Game Cemetery
So in the spirit of MSE - what do you all do with your games once you've finished them? Do you (I should hope not) send them off to landfill? Pass them on to someone else? Sell them (if so, where?)? Trade them in (where?)? Store them away for future sessions? Use them as tasteful coasters, or create a piece of art with…
They sure don't make them like this anymore - PC
Pukkamum made a good point in the other thread - games nowadays seem to be getting a lot easier than they used to be. So which ones would you put forward as being one of the best ever, ones that originally set the bar high for your expectations? I've limited this thread to PC as I want to see whether there are any clear…

Xbox live GOLD. - do I need to be wary?
My 13 yr old was given an Xbox 360 for his birthday and he is pushing me to subscribe to gold so that he can play online and multi player. I'm anxious - his £25 per year was off the mark because when I created an account for him/ me it was £39.99. I know this is not £4 per month but I'm worried about hacking, inappropriate…
Wii help please
Can anyone help with my Wii problem please. The machine is about 4 - 5 years old and is played weekly but not fanatically. When I put a disc in it is saying that it cant read it?
