    My screenshot game is F12 if it's a steam game. To check to go Steam>Settings>In-Game.

    If not that, just press Print Screen on your keyboard and paste it in Paint.

    Okay. I knew how to do a normal screen shot but didn't know if in game was different.

    Can you minimize a game to the taskbar without closing it out?

    Yep, just press Alt+Tab. Then Alt+Tab back into the game, I do it that way with plenty of games.

    Cool thanks. I was just wondering in case I wanted to take a screen shot of anything.

  • Downloading the SSX 60 minute trial. Looks like a fun game to waste time on. Haven't played a game like this in a long time.

  • Any of you on PS+ want to get Dungeon Defenders for free? Its a tower defense RPG for up to 4 players. Looks like it would be fun with 4 of us playing.

    Do you need to play the 1st to understand the storyline of 2? Never played the first one, thinking about buying it. Might buy Alan Wake for $9.99

    I am not that far into it. I really don't think so though.

    Alan Wake has just never interested me for whatever reason.

  • Interesting article on how this long console life cycle has hurt gaming.

    Has The Longest Console Generation Damaged Gaming? - IGN

    Opinion: Microsoft and Sonys growth.

  • I just read that whole thing, and watched the IGN video. I disagree with the Ubisoft guy anyway. What would he know about new IP's? Assassins Creed? Far Cry? Ghost Recon? Rayman? Prince of Persia? When was the last time Ubisoft even brought out a new IP? Sony is still bringing new IP's to the table, and that is why PS3 is selling better than any system, and has been for awhile. Watch Dogs will be Ubisoft's first new IP in years. A lot of years. And they are waiting for the new consoles to release it. Why? He says it won't sell well this late in the system generation. Meanwhile, Sony is bringing out The Last of Us which will sell millions, and Beyond: Two Souls which will do really well.

    That whole article, while some of it made sense, just seemed like finger pointing to me.

    AC was released at the beginning of this generation. 6 damn years ago.

    Get Alan Wake it is better than Dead Space IMO. I just enjoyed the story more and it is a fun game.

    I am almost positive the Xbox 360 is still the top selling console, is it not?

    No. It may be in the US, but worldwide its not close right now.

    I doubt The Last of Us sales that well to be honest especially at 1st. I am sure it will be a great game but most of Sonys 1st party games flop in sales. It is really sad because they are great games. I just read where Allstars Battle Royal did not get in the top 20 of game sales which is a shame. Did any of you buy it? I may pick it up tomorrow.

  • Michael Patcher predicts PS4 will be released next October or November before the new Xbox. I kind of think the opposite though I expect the new Xbox and the PS4 shortly after.

    God of War
    The Show
    Uncharted series
    Grand Turismo(When they actually release one)
    Metal Gear
    Killzone
    LittleBigPlanet

    All of those franchises sell like hotcakes. Not sure why you say Sony doesn't sell games. Nobody expected Sony All Stars to sell like crazy. That is a definite pass for me. Last of Us will sell really well.

    I picked it up last week. I really like it so far, and will probably put quite a bit of time into it. It is definitely worth what I spent on it, especially since I got the copy for my Vita for free.

    Edit: The sales numbers for Allstars should be taken with a grain of salt thus far. The US numbers haven't officially been published yet, people are just saying it isn't selling well. In the UK the game was released on the 23rd and they stopped counting sales on the 24th. So they are sales for 1 day. Also, digital copies are not taken into account until Sony publishes the final sales numbers.

  • Sell me on PC gaming over console. Right now my biggest qualms are price, sitting at a computer all day as it is (like to lay down and game), and missing PS3-4 exclusives. What are the benefits?

    I don't think anyone knows nearly as much as they think they do about either console.

    Just as many benefits as console gaming. .

    Better visuals, higher frame rate, exclusives, game play options, mods, you get the full game when you buy a game like BF3, game with mouse/keyboard or controller, Steam>PS Network>Xbox Live.

    There are a lot of things. Too many to name.
