    Far Cry 2

    True but games that have less faults tend to have higher ratings, so you know what to buy. Without faults, criticism would cease to exist! And that would be mighty scary..

    Fallout 3 Metro Center ads ruin some guys day

    Well does the ad clearly state "Fallout 3"? Or is it one of those viral marketing campaigns? I figure if it says that it's a game then it's all good as gravy, but if it doesn't I could see why some people may be offended

    Far Cry 2

    I've been reading about the biggest complaints which are primarily: a. the blood looks like jelly from a jelly donut b. the AI is very dumb c. going across land to complete the next objective is tedious and boring Many say it's like a GTA FPS

    Far Cry 2

    For the billionth time Far Cry is not using the Crytek engine. Ubisoft is using the Dunia engine, and based off of the in game shots I've seen versus the shots that Ubisoft released, the in game shots look terrible. I'm hoping that the people who took those shots had low end video cards...

    Far Cry 2

    These are some leaked screens of gameplay in the map editor.. I honestly hope that those users have really bad graphics cards/map editor reduces graphical effects because otherwise this game looks much worse than the screenshots Ubisoft has been dishing out

    Far Cry 2

    Gotta clear up this common misconception, Ubisoft is NOT using the Crytek 2 engine. It is using its own Dunia engine. It is different from that of Crytek's, and from what it sounds like I don't believe it can quite compare. The minimum specs for FC2 are much lower than that of Crysis/Crysis...

    Far Cry 2

    From the in-game screenshots of the leaked copy of FC2, it's graphics can't compare to that of Crysis. But maybe I'm wrong and the people who took the screens have sub-par graphics cards

    Nvidia v.s. ATI

    Bah the 9 series is rubbish. There isn't anything new in terms of specs compared to the 8-series cards. Clock speeds, stream processors, etc are all identical. nVidia's 200 series (GTX280/GTX260) and ATi's 4800 series cards are worth comparing though.

    Nvidia v.s. ATI

    I've always had nVidia cards, and never had any issues with them. However, I currently have an 8800GT, and the ATi 4870 blows it out of the water. But games like Crysis are optimized for nVidia cards, so its a trade-off

    Intel or AMD

    I'm an Intel fan.. only because all the Intel processors I have seen have higher L2 caches than the AMD processors I've seen. I imagine they are both equally good, just compare specs and prices before you buy and decide based on that.

    My Laptop xD

    Sorry to burst your bubble but some particular models of HP Pavilion laptops with AMD processors occassionally have their WiFi port on their mobo fry (google about it, happened to my friend's HP; took 3 weeks to fix @ HP) Also you might want to make sure drivers are available for all the...

    Adobe photoshop cs4 is here!

    Bah more bloated rubbish. Still sticking to Paint.NET for my minor photo editing needs.. 7-->CS2 didn't have any major changes whatsoever. Not sure how hardcore artists keep up.. definitely not worth all that money for a minor upgrade

    Xbox360 emulator for PC?

    But to emulate those games would require massive amounts of space and RAM I imagine (a good chunk of people's computers probably couldn't handle it)

    Who is excited about Farcry 2

    Yes I know but I don't want to reformat my computer once I get tired of Far Cry 2 haha. I figure I can avoid all the hassle if I don't get the game at all. I'll just wait for my friend to get it for 360

    Who is excited about Farcry 2

    Wow. I'm psychic. You guys saw it, you're all witnesses! Either that or I jinxed it.. looks like I won't be getting Far Cry 2 anymore. Argh if these video game companies weren't so ignorant, they would realize that the entire reason why their SecuROM games are being pirated is because of the...

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    Re: Which Os do u prefer XP is great. I still don't care what people say, Vista is a terrible operating system. In fact, so terrible that Microsoft is going to release Windows 7 in a a couple years to show what Vista was supposed to be! I'll say it once and I'll say it again: Vista =...

    Who is excited about Farcry 2

    Personally can't wait.. hopefully my 8800GT isn't outdated already! Hopefully this isn't plagued with DRM issues.. I know EA has gotten a lot of criticism over SecuROM for Crysis Warhead, which is the reason I will not purchase that game. Ubisoft better do a good job.. everyone knows Haze was...

    United States Best and Worst President?

    Worst president: Warren Harding. That oaf was probably the world's best bribe-acceptor. He played poker and golf on a daily basis while the "Ohio Gang" took advantage of their roles in government. This guy did NOTHING. Bush made a good governor for Texas, and I had hopes for him in his first...
