Hi, My friends and I are talking about buying the same couple of games to play online. Any recommendation on the best ones out there for that purpose? A part from Call of Duty saga and Little Big Planet. Thanks in advance :)

Yes, I know it's too late to get in for the prizes ('sif this would win anything anyway) but hey, for the betterment of the community :) Screenshot / Code Snippet About I've (and others) been bugging about getting some stats so we can track our Stack Exchange sites against the others, so I m...

I know the quote "The Cake is a lie" has made its way into the real world because I've heard non-gamers say it in an attempt to be cryptic. Are there any other quotes or memes like that which have come into common parlance after being coined in the gaming world? EDIT: I would suggest the word ...

What is your most-used web application? Fairly straightforward question. It shouldn't be too hard to guess what will come out on top, but I'm interested to see what else gets high votes. ONE entry per post and NO duplicates. The following applications have already been listed. Gmail Google Rea...

The design of gaming.stackexchange.com seems to be more like a schoolwork or homework type design. What does this have to do with gaming? Is this just temporary?

That is the "Sketchy" beta theme for all beta sites. When a site makes it out of beta, they will choose their own logo and design. So, before anyone asks... sorry, no. You can't keep the Sketchy design for your site after launch <grin>.

Game design and development questions are considered off-topic, and should be asked on the corresponding Stack Exchange sister site. But what defines a question as being about game development? How do I know where to ask my questions about consoles and mechanics?

By default Q should switch between your last used weapons. So if you first use your flame-thrower and then your axe Q should first switch back to the flame-thrower and then back to the axe again.

<kbd> is a great way to mark up text to be entered. But when you use it on StackOverflow-family sites, it's really difficult. For instance, if I say I typed this sentence by starting with a Shift+F, then used o, followed by r, then space, you can see that it quickly becomes an unreadable me...

My favorite tower defense game I know is Desktop Tower Defense. Yes, it's a flash game. Yes, it has a (less-balanced) facebook version. But it's simple, fun, and is one of the few tower defense games where you really get to build your own maze, rather than just place towers around a pre-built maz...

There are so many replay sites, and so many of them are useless. So many replays and replay packs are on megaupload-like sites and submitted only to some forums. What is the best way of searching for replays of good players? Edit: 1. If you want to post a replay site, make one post per site. 2....

I have just got a PS3 as part of a Sony TV promotion and am looking for some suitable kid friendly game recommendations for an 8 year-old boy and a 10 year old girl. I have got them Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones and Little Big Planet but I'm interested in others or recommendations on places t...

Where can I find good deals on games, either PC or console? Regular retail stores seem to charge so much!

I'm looking for the best games in which typing is the core game mechanic. Flash, console, etc., the key component I'm looking for is mainly just amusement, and not necessarily educational. For example, Mario Teaches Typing could be one example, but is not the most fun in the world to play.

With so many games on xbox live arcade, how can I identify the better games or more popular games from the duds?

Now that we're trying to course correct the site to Q&A, we need to close many subjective and offtopic questions, which makes the 12 close votes not enough. Could we have more until we have moderators at least? It can be done for > 1K rep users only, and I'd be ok for it to be temporary (ag...

This has now been implemented, announced earlier today in chat. Those with the ability to close can now cast 20 votes per day. edit: due to request, this has been reverted to 12.
