Transform Your Classic Xbox Into A Killer Media Center

Don't ditch your classic Xbox just because you can't play Halo 3 on it: now it's easier than ever to transform that old neglected console into a Unix-based media command center. A simple software exploit lets you replace Microsoft's crippled dashboard and run the incredible, open source Xbox Media Center (XBMC) software.

Surely there are lot of better things to do with a powerful, beautiful and apparantly well-vented computer if M$ let you remove the game os off it. Still, probably one of the better ideas here.

    When thinking about Real Time Strategy (RTS) games, people tend to think that it can only work well

    to manage your troops with a controller (or gamepad) than with KBM. I'll also give you
    advantages/disadvantages of both versions. PC: Advantages: * Cheaper by $10 * Connect

    For the first time I think I might give up on consoles. I'm wondering if the new consoles will
    really be all that great. I'm not buying the hype. Think it will really be all that great? I
    remember before when consoles used to be state of the art. They always used to seem so amazing and
    cool. Remember the Super Nintendo days? These days they are starting to seem like mini custom
    computers. It sucks. I would rather get a computer with better performance than the console. I
    know you probably can't compete with their processing power but the loading and....

  12. Favorite Classic/old School Games?

    What are your favorite or most fondly remembered classic games. Personally, I have to wonder how
    much games have really evolved when I think back to my old favorites and new games leave me wanting
    in comparison. I don't think it has anything to do with technological development but rather
    whether a developer is able to accomplish their goals for a game regardless of what technology is
    available. 1. Marathon. This game was my very first mac game and one of the first 3-D shooters
    ever. It had such a dark, gritty and claustrophobic atmosphere and I'd also probably ....
