    Need For Speed: Undercover

    Since this is an EA game.. any one know if there's going to be SecuROM DRM? I have to watch for what I purchase nowadays.. the pirates have it good, free AND no DRM.

    Did you install the processor yourself? You might want to check on that thermal paste.. Is your CPU fan broken or something?

    GTA IV for PC?

    Although the recommended requirements are high, at least we can be assured that it won't be a lousy direct port from console to PC (which always has horrible results). But like I said that's just recommended, I'm sure you're given the option to tune down certain settings

    Which is better ATI or NVIDIA?

    I've got an 8800GT, but I wish I waited since prices for them have dropped a bit. Works great on games like COD4/5, Crysis, GRID, and pretty much anything you throw at it. There are cards that out perform it, but its a good all-around-budgety buy. If you've got dough and want the best of the...

    USA Presidential elections....

    Well under Obama, my taxes will go up (checked the calculator on his site) I obviously vote for the one who doesn't increase my taxes. But I imagine Obama will probably win anyway

    Nvidia v.s. ATI

    http://www.techspot.com/review/109-geforce-gtx-260-280-versus-radeon-4850-4870/ Interesting! Despite the fact ATi's HD 4870 has more powerful hardware than the nVidia GTX280, the GTX280 still out performs it. Shows that drivers are quite important!

    Nvidia v.s. ATI

    Correction: nVidia USED to be top of the line. ATi is beating nVidia's socks off at this moment. The nVidia 9 series is identical to that of the 8-series statistically, and I just compared to the 200 series with ATi's 4870 (roughly same price). I can tell you right now that nVidia's cards...

    rainbow 6 vegas or call of duty

    I've played R6 Vegas, COD4, and COD5. Just to break it down: COD4 > R6 Vegas > most games > COD 5 Played the beta for COD 5 today.. I'm not impressed. The beta is a free multiplayer first person shooter, and that's all the recognition I will give it. Treyarch took COD4, stripped it down...

    DRM or no DRM?

    The only form of DRM I've encountered is Steam-based games for Valve, and Punkbuster for COD4. Neither of them cause system instability or wreak havoc on other computer functions like SecuROM. Very few people like DRM. The fact that SecuROM is present on Far Cry 2 is preventing me from buying...

    Far Cry 2

    I wouldn't have that big of an issue with Vista if Microsoft didn't preinstall it for people on machines that everyone knowingly can barely run Vista. I'd like to reformat a Vista laptop but the fact that HP doesn't make any XP drivers for the hardware makes it impossible. But nonetheless its...

    xbox to pc

    If you have a wired 360 controller, it is a normal USB and you can plug it in and use it (I don't know if you need drivers for it) If you've got a wireless 360 controller, Microsoft sells some kind of gizmo that allows you to use it with your computer As for the original XBOX controllers, I...

    Fallout 3 Metro Center ads ruin some guys day

    Ah pretty nice ads. Only one I could find the least bit offensive is the robot stepping on Uncle Sam just because their depiction of Uncle Sam and the American flag are quite accurate, whereas the ad with the Washington monument has a different flag
