    Ageia PhysX

    Poll needs a "I'll wait and see" option. I will buy one if I have enough money and there's a game on the market that really uses it wisely and effectively (efficiently?).

    POLL:Oblivion

    I read there will be no demo so... because Morrowind turned out to be a empty and boring game I'm not buying Oblivion if I don't have a chance to try it out first.

    Far Cry...it was pretty lame

    Are you dead inside or something? :) Far Cry was and still is one of the best first person shooters ever made. It was a breath of fresh air back in 2004 January when the demo was released. Good times...

    Ageia's PPU's

    The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion uses a current-gen version of the Gamebryo 3D game engine that uses Havok for physics. The next-gen version of Gamebryo 3D will use AGEIA PhysX SDK, though: http://www.emergentgametech.com/index.php?source=20060117 Gothic 3, on the other hand, uses AGEIA PhysX...

    How do you change views in Trackmania Nation?

    You control the car by using up, down, left and right keys only. If you want to check out the config for other things then launch the game > Profile > Advanced settings > Configure driving inputs. There's also a game manual in the game folder named "TMN manual.pdf". The camera views can be...

    Trackmania Nations - FREE

    Only the ladder servers are down at the moment. Ladder was causing the massive slowdowns in server browsing, loggin on etc.. Ladder will be back soon. Although I like Nations very much, TrackMania Original is still the king :)

    Why no good racing games for PC??

    LFS is developing very slowly because of only 3 man team. It's in S2 Alpha (Stage 2) version now. It is said that S3 will be the full featured version. But LFS still is simply a joy to play, especially the online games. I haven't played rFactor but I've read lots of positive comments about it...

    Why no good racing games for PC??

    Oh yeah. Re-Volt was so great. Addictive and challenging, especially the end levels. Some other oldies but goldies: Rollcage, New York Race, Ballistics, Rally Trophy, Stunt GP, Carmageddon. Also, another modern game called FlatOut is worth checking out. The sequel is coming in 2006.

    Is Far Cry a good game.

    Those who say "Far Cry sucks" don't know what they are talking about :) Far Cry is one of the best FPS games ever made. The replay value is also great. You actually want to play it through many times. I'm currently finishing my 3rd play-through.

    Bittorent files

    You have to first download the WMP file using a Bit Torrent client. There's many clients out there. I use µTorrent at the moment: http://www.utorrent.com/download.php. You can of course use the official BT client from http://www.bittorrent.com too, or the popular Azureus client...

    free firewall, which one do you prefer?

    I switched from Zone Alarm to Kerio about a year ago and have been very satisfied of it. Too bad the development of Kerio Personal Firewall has been discontinued...

    Kaspersky anti virus

    I don't think Kaspersky does any kind of bogus stuff. I've used their anti-virus package ever since I had a internet connection at home and never spotted it doing any "suspicious" behaviour.

    Track Mania Sunrise

    I've been playing TrackMania for over 2 years now. Just can't get enough of it. TM resurrected the good old spirit of racing games. I was a HUGE Stunts! fan back in the day :) Here's download links for the demo of the upcoming free eXpansion pack for Sunrise called TrackMania Sunrise eXtreme...

    PS3 can do 120fps. Amazing.

    Does anyone here read nothing but the first post? Once again... that "PS3 120fps" thing is for the movies and videos, not games. Here's the roadmap pic: http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/NEWS/20051027/110194/1027sce_hd_roadmap.jpg

    PS3 can do 120fps. Amazing.

    That GameSpot article is a misinterpretation. It's 120fps for movies and videos, not games. Here's a good post about the GameSpot screw up: http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showpost.php?p=608940&postcount=56

    AGEIA PhysX Demonstration Video- WOW!

    I like these two newer demo videos much better: Video 2 - Metal bending Video 3 - Fluid simulation http://www.airtightgames.com/currentproject.html Those are a few months old videos though... I really hope that AGEIA would release more demos soon.
