I'm really looking forward to this Friday as Crysis is finally being released, I can already feel my PC starting to panic. Big%20smile

Until then I've got Overlord, Dawn of War and Sam and Max Season 2 Episode 1 to keep me amused. Big%20smile

Still on Baldur's Gate II and Fallout. All these years, and my loyalty remains unwavering.

Just been going through some old classics. Who remembers Rayman for the PSX? Such a good 2d platformer, and what a great proggy soundtrack!

Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

I hope you have a HDTV....It looks great in SDTV, but GOD DOES IT LOOK GREAT in 1366x768 or 1920x1080! A little bit on the depressibng side, but the graphics...man!
 
The game is just OK for me. The graphics do it all.

Yes but the problem with Cysis is the sheer demands on a PC, thankfully my PC can handle it on very high graphics settings, but a lot of people are stuck with medium and low settings.

I'm eager to play a PC game which - once again - outclasses any current console game in terms of visual perfection:

Well, it's actually not *that* expensive. My computer is 2 1/2 years old and just a few weeks ago I downloaded the Valve Orange Box and played Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 without any problems. And the computer wasn't top of the line back when I bought it ...

But it's true that every 3 years you need to upgrade, and a computer upgrade is more expensive than buying a new console. But if you take into account that you usually upgrade your computer anyway every 2-3 years, the actual difference is the graphics card, and even the top of the line cards are well in the range of the current consoles.

Man... I just got a 360 last week. 
 
I've been using it for Guitar Hero 3 (of course!), and I'm going to get Halo 3 soon, too.
I'll have to read back in this thread some for some recommendations.
 
I don't like the FPS genre too much, though Halo is pretty cool, it's probably the only one I'll buy.  I'll be looking for more RPG/adventure type stuff (I with they made God of War for Xbox!), but I'll definitely be getting the new Beautiful Katamari game Embarrassed

I'm picking up Call Of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed, so I'll be marathon-ing all day tomorrow.

Every 3 years? It's been a slow gradual series of upgrades for my PC. I built it in October last year and since then have replaced the motherboard twice, upgraded the graphics card (Nvidia 7600GT to Nvidia 8800GTS), added a hard drive, replaced the power supply and added an extra 2Gb of RAM. Embarrassed

Yet after all that I can only just play Crysis on very high settings, hopefully once the game has been optimised some more the performance will be a bit better.
