Gamepedia is an application for cataloging and keeping track of your video and computer games.

The main info comes from the Amazon sites (US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, Japan) but Gamepedia also lets you add links and screenshots from other sites, such as gamespot.com. You can search using pretty much any keyword - from the platform to the game title or a genre. Or use a combination of them all. If you have a scanner, you can find your games even faster. Just open a search window and scan the UPC of the game. Gamepedia does the rest for you. Cuecats, modified or not, are supported too.

Updating PunkBuster with PBSetup
PunkBuster is designed to keep itself up to date using our proprietary auto-update system. For cases where the auto-update fails, we have created a utility called PBSetup.
There are two major components to the PunkBuster system: the PunkBuster Server (runs on game servers) and the PunkBuster Client (runs on players' playing machines while they play the game). Both components are designed to automatically keep themselves up to date with the latest versions of PunkBuster. The PB Server software routinely checks with the master PB Servers and downloads new updates over the Internet when they become available and then distributes the new versions to connected PB Clients when players running an old version connect to the server.
When PB is not able to auto-update, various error messages are displayed. For PB Server Admins, messages are displayed to all players when a player joins who has a newer version of PB than what is currently running on the PB Server. Also, PB Servers running old versions will not be able to detect and deal with all of the latest versions of cheat/hack software. For players of the games, when PB can't keep itself up to date, they will be removed (kicked) from PB Servers and may see one of a variety of messages ... "Distress", "Technical Problem loading ...", or "Update Timeout".
In virtually every case where PB cannot keep itself up to date, a firewall or some type of security software is blocking communication with the master PB Servers. For users who are comfortable configuring their firewall/router or security software, port number information can be found in the FAQ section for each game we support here on our website. If this issue can be resolved, then PB will be able to auto-update and function properly the way it was designed and the use of PBSetup is not necessary.
For users who need or desire to use PBSetup to manually update PunkBuster, PBSetup download links for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX are provided below. PBSetup does not modify the Windows registry. For best results, users should create a folder on the hard drive to hold PBSetup and the various files that it will create and use during operation. PBSetup should be downloaded directly into the folder or moved into the folder after downloading to the desktop but before running PBSetup for the first time. The easiest way to create a folder is to "right click" on the desktop and choose New|Folder from the pop-up menu and then type in a folder name such as PBSetup and press the Enter key.

Icon TeamSpeex 1.0b2 r408

TeamSpeak is a Voice over IP program used by alot of gamers to communicate with each other with voice. The TeamSpeak client is available for Windows and Linux users and an official Mac client has been announced more than 1 year ago but there is still no Mac client as of today..
So I was tired of waiting and seeing Mac users being left in the dark and not supported by not having a client, up until now ofcourse because (you probably already guessed it) TeamSpeex is a TeamSpeak client for Mac OS X!
I named it TeamSpeex because it only supports the Speex codec. It is fully compatible with existing TeamSpeak servers, and with PC and Linux users.
TeamSpeex is a third-party client for TeamSpeak, that means they have nothing to do with this product. So do not bug or contact the TeamSpeak developers if you have problems related with TeamSpeex.

This software enables the Xbox USB gamepad, DVD remote, and other Xbox devices on Mac OS X.

You can use the Xbox HID Driver as long as you want. However, the demo version will not allow you to customize the controllers after 30 days. You can register online for just $5 to remove the demo time limit.
