What do you feel are some "retro" games still worth taking a look at it? Even if its totally some obscure game nobody played, or really obvious like goldeneye or OoT, go ahead and list your favorites.

I had recently gone back and played the original StarCraft (didn't get into the SC2 beta :evil: ) and though it looks crazy outdated, still really fun. :D

Considering this is a man who has multiple times publicly said he does not like the wii or the wiimote and does not play wii games, I'll take his opinion with a grain of salt.

goblaa

I think Jeff is more than willing to give credit when credit is due, even if he's not or never has been big on the Wii in the past.

[QUOTE="Nuck81"]Isn't this the guy that is too fat and lazy to stand up and play Wii Sports?Nuck81

So you're saying that I shouldn't trust his Wii Sports Resort Review then?

I could care less what you trust. That guy is the practical GOLD STANDARD of every negative video game stereotype out there (Fat, lazy, ugly, no social life, living in momma's basement) don't you want more for the image of the industry?

Obviously I was not actually asking you whether or not I should trust it, as I was simply pointing out that your original claim does not or may not hold water as evident by Jeff's review, though its beside the point.

As far as having "more for the image", Jeff and the rest of the Giant Bomb staff are some of the only game journalists out there that seem to have the right idea as to how game coverage should be. They take a "know your audience" approach to what they do and its why they have been so successful thus far. If were going to talk about Gold Standards, then that is what we really should be talking about.

Are there any significant differences between a Micro ATX motherboard and just a standard ATX?

Specifically, these motherboards here:

ATX

Micro ATX

Ok so I keep getting conflicting information from different people about the parts I want to order for this PC. I'm not very knowledgeable about all this, so please try and help me understand this with enough clarity.

The first thing is the power supply. This is the original one that I choose:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016

One friend is telling me that its ok, But another said it wasn't powerful enough and suggested this one:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159107

So which would really be the better option? I'm ready to order all this and I just want to make sure everything is going to work. Will I also need to purchase additional SATA cables, or will those come with the necessary parts?

Here are the rest of the parts for this build:

Mobo
CPU
Video Card
ram
Case
Optical Drive
HDD

Also, feel free to give your own opinion on the build :)

Here's what I came up with:

Seagate 7200.12 500gb HDD
Acer X193WCb 19" Monitor
Sapphire 5750 Video Card
Mushkin DDR2-1066 4GB RAM w/ Rosewill Wind Knight Case
OCZ ModXStream 500W PSU w/ Sony Optiarc 24x DVD Drive
AMD Phenom II X4 925 CPU w/ Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard

Grand total: 703.90 including shipping, and a potential $45 in savings from MIR's.

This is about in line with what I'm looking for. Can anyone else confirm the compatibility of this setup? Really appreciate the help :)

Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Already have USB KB/M , do you really need to know the make and brand for that? And I would need the optical drive. Right now just working with a laptop.
