    Well it looks like the drought of graphically AAA games will be briefly interrupted by a sprinkling of console DX 11 games, before coming back in full force for yet another 5 years.

    Stalker dev GSC goes under?

    Well, now it seems that it might be for realz. Their facebook page just gave some cryptic info, telling us that the website and clothing shop will go on, but where that leaves the studio itself I have no idea. According to some poorly translated text from a Ukrainian fan-flash mob outside GSC's...

    Stalker dev GSC goes under?

    The Ukrainians are speculating that this is just a PR stunt, under the premise of moving their office and closing down the old one. Additionally they found some job offers from GSC from December the 5th

    New gtx 580, drivers won't initialize

    So I'm putting together a new system, but seeing as I'm still waiting for my 2500k to arrive I went ahead and put the gtx 580 in my old system, as my 280 was toast. Everything seems to be fine, except for the fact that the nvidia drivers don't seem to initialize, giving an Error 37 Windows...

    I Don't get all the love for Mass Effect 2

    I've been saying this repeatedly, but I'll say it again. I think ME2 is leaps and bounds beyond the stale, generic muck that ME1 turned out to be. Those of you criticizing the removal of the original's so called RPG elements should take a good hard look at what those "elements" actually...

    Novalogic Delta Force: Angel Falls

    Last I heard, the entire company was a couple of guys in an apartment. They've been releasing stuff on the same engine from JO.

    Rainbow pixels = EOL?

    I had the same exact problem with my gtx 280. Since it was a bfg card rma wasn't an option. Supposedly the solders crack after a while, the only possible fix is to bake the card. It actually worked for me, so who knows. Here's the thread with a tutorial...

    Rainbow pixels = EOL?

    From what it sounds like, it might be the pink screen of death. There's a ton of pics online

    Graphics card died, what to do?

    Alright, I'm going to cook it as soon as I get hold of a back up card. If that fails I guess upgrade time came early.

    Graphics card died, what to do?

    I'm leaning towards that option, but as I wrote; it seems more like an end in itself. It would be nice to have a new pc, but what games would actually benefit from it?

    Graphics card died, what to do?

    It just seems to me that I'm bound to upgrade in a year or two, and then the card would not be up to speed, especially if it was just a replacement. Also, wouldn't something along the likes of a 560/580 be bottlenecked in my system?

    Graphics card died, what to do?

    Well like the title says, my gtx 280 has been stricken with the pink screen of death, rendering it useless. Although I'll still try to stick it in the oven as a last resort, I highly doubt that will achieve anything. My rig is gtx 280, intel e8400, 4 gigs of RAM and a 22" monitor...

    Operation Flashpoint: Red River - Who's getting it?

    Red River was a pretty bad game. The graphics are sub-par and it seems that most of the work was put into the sergeant's obligatory speeches while in transport. I mean seriously, that guy just goes on and on.

    Morrowind! An awsome mod compilation making the game worth playing again

    I played Morrowind with a passion when it was first released, but now replaying it again has taken some of that magic away. The quests are painfully simple and mundane, most involving you having to go to some far away place and kill a few monsters. Most feel as if taken from an MMORPG. I thought...

    Did you like ME1 or ME2 better?

    Honestly I thought ME1 was meh. The RPG mechanics were total gimmicks and pretty much a joke. The combat was bland and I didn't find the story that original. I also had the usual gripes about the Mako, cookie-cutter side quests and horrid inventory management. Although they could have possibly...

    The only thing that will visibly move PC gaming forward will be the release of next gen consoles, whenever that will occur.

    So much for a GFWL "upgrade"

    Dragon Age 2 demo out now

    At least ME2 bothered to send you e-mails. I guess DA2 will settle for magic messanger pigeons or something.

    Dragon Age 2 demo out now

    Don't worry all those BIG CHOICES will probably impact the story in a minute way, if at all. Look at what happened in Awakening or ME2.

    IT's supposed to span something like 10 years and begins right around the time of Ostagar I think.

    Dragon Age 2 demo out now

    Honestly after playing the demo I have mixed feelings. Although I'm thankful that they haven't paractically altered the core combat system the whole control scheme and UI is downright clunky and dysfunctional. The artistic style is also not to my liking, Isabela had watermelons instead of...

    Dragon Age 2 demo out now

    Heh, judging from the hilariously bad graphics on the screenshots I never even gave thought that this game's requirements would exceed my system's. I mean DX 11 for that? Seriously?

    Dead Rising 2 is a terrible game

    The game isn't so much terrible as horribly repulsive. At first I enjoyed it, but having to worry about the damn timer, moronic escort AI and finding that damn Zombrex was too annoying. I understand why weapons break down, because otherwise you'd just run around with a light saber the whole...
