Back on Wednesday we ran a story on your favourite PS1 games, and you got back with some long and excellent lists. We distilled your favourites down into a single (and long) list of contenders. To keep the list manageable we’ve rolled series in together, so make sure you point out if there’s a particular episode you love. As ever, if your favourite game isn’t there, let us know….

Earlier in the week we asked you to tell us which PlayStation games had your favourite cover and box artwork. We’ve got a poll to decide the winner from the nominees that you put forward, but if you feel an unjust omission has been made, let us know…

We want to know which games you enjoy playing most with your mates.

Having listened to what some of you have been saying about GTA IV, we started thinking about the key ingredients for a good game soundtrack. We’ve got a poll for you to vote in, but please also let us know your favourite game songs, your dream game soundtrack and, in your opinion, what the best song/artist/game combination would be. For us it has to be cruising around Vice City with the top down, listening to Rick James or the Mary Jane Girls…

Over to our friend Vinegar Tasters…

One of the major trends happening in the world today is finding new, remote ways to make a living, often using new products and services. Companies like Google and eBay, for instance, create products that allow the consumers a cut - ie through offering advertisements on webpages and sell stuff online. Because the human population is growing at an exponential rate, there will probably come a time when the amount of companies that exist to provide products to people and hire people (to give them an income) will reach a period of static growth and even decline in growth, because there are only so many companies that can compete making the same widgets. So, as more and more things get automated, it’ll be time to come up with new ways to earn a living.

As such, game platforms need to be opened up to allow programmers and people who want to sell stuff to be able to do so on these platforms. If Sony were to ensure Home is an easy way for people to offer products to sell (and maybe use PayPal or similar ways to make a profit), and if the PS3 were opened up to allow people to create games, exciting opportunities would exist for all.
