I too have a PSP and DS, I don't have any problem with the load times on PSP. However, I only have Metal Gear Acid, Lumines, and Valkyrie Profile. Lumines does not take a minute to load, because you can skip the splash screens. Valkyrie Profile is pretty quick too, my only gripe is it takes a second going into and out of the menu. But`that's probably not much different than the Playstation version. Overall, it should be something we are used to by now...if it's on a disc, then it will take time to load.

Three more games that I forgot to mention but I haven't seen them in this forum yet are: Fallout, Fallout 2, and Baldur's Gate. Awesome games.

I have a 3 year old laptop with a 1.8 Mhz Athlon Mobile, 512MB RAM, and an ATI Radeon 8600 (I think, I don't really know what the number is) and running XP. I was suprised that they said Morrowind works with a P III and 256 MB RAM because it will not run smoothly on my laptop no matter what. Anyways, here are some great games that do work smoothly on the laptop without much tweaking: -Half-Life (and it's add-on packs) -System Shock 2 (yes, I have gotten it to work on XP, don't ask me how, I think it's the AMD plus no XP services packs) -Deus Ex (sidenote: Deus Ex 2 refuses to work on the laptop despite updated Direct X and ATI drivers *sigh*) -Alpha Centauri (if you're into that RTS stuff) -practically every DECENT emulator for almost every system (can't get any Jaguar ones to work, but oh well. I have to really tweak ePSXe and PSEmu to get them to run smoothly, but they run) Someone mentioned something about games not working right in Vista. I have to agree with that, I have a ton of games that will not work right in XP (mostly sound based problems, XP's Soundblaster emulator sucks!). In fact, I have an old Windows 98 box just for that purpose. Games like Daggerfall, Duke Nukem 3D, Phantasmogoria, Blood, Doom, etc. should not relegated to a dusty corner just because XP sucks at emulating 98. I know someone is going to say "Well, why don't you use Virtual PC?" Look at my system specs. I can't. Running Virtual PC sucks so many resources on top of Windows and my virus scanner, etc. that stuff runs like crap. It's sad, how many early XP/98 games are going to not be played anymore because of Vista? Additionally, with all of the resources that Vista sucks up, that 256 MB of RAM that you need for Morrowind is going to jump to 768 MB or 1 GB just to get good framerates.

"i have a laptop with 3.2Ghz processor. I don't think it's safe to overclock on my system. It get's REEEEAALLLYY hot when it's up and running already. " Yeah, overclocking a laptop is a really bad idea. Not only can you not upgrade the cooling systems in most models, but the cooling system in these models are woefully inadequate already. The only laptops designed for overclocking are the so-called "gaming-laptops" And considering that most weigh about as much as a concrete block, what's the point?

Are you kidding? These have got to be some of the easiest bosses ever (although I can't speak for the Ninja Gaiden boss, as I've never played it) Krauser was a pushover, DMC 3 bosses were easy, and The End is too old for his own good (and I ate his parrot too :) ) I mean seriously, he falls asleep in battle. He's just asking to be capped in the back of the head. As far as all of you complaining about Sephiroth from KH, I have a bit of advice for you. Pay attention when you are fighting him! Even when you get your @$$ kicked there are important parts of his pattern to learn. Block his first attack, then bust a Trinity Limit on him. Air juggle until he blocks, and then get ready to block again. When he throws fire, glide away from it, and when he stands still and speaks (what he says escapes me now) get your butt over there and hit him or be prepared to use an elixir. Easy as pie. Now for some real good time fun, I'd like to see some old school side scrolling shooters like Gradius, R-Type, and U.N. Squadron covered. Those were some hard games because of the reflexes and skill required. No more RPG's because with the right amount of preperation, you can beat ANY RPG boss. There hasn't been an FF or DQ boss yet that I haven't beaten. It just takes preperation, not skill or reflexes. Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong

Most of these are because I can't afford to upgrade my crappy PC and I don't have money to buy a 360: 1. Half Life 2 (PC) 2. F.E.A.R (PC) 3. Fay Cry (PC) 4. Elder Scrolls: Morrowind or Oblivion (PC) 5. Deus EX 2(PC)
