    Quick ATI drivers question

    The last time I owned an ATI card was about 5 years ago, when I switched to NVIDIA I made a habit out of uninstalling, restarting in safe mode and using driver cleaner to wipe out the drivers and THEN installing the new drivers; is it still recommended to do this with ATI drivers? I think I read...

    Mirror's Edge is awesome

    The game's engine inmediately reminded me of Source and the art style reminded me of Portal, the gameplay is incredibly addictive and polished, you never fail because the game is badly designed, you just fail because of your inadequacy. I loved the game, excellent graphics (bloom is a bit...

    Resident Evil 5 is insane!

    I just started playing through the game on veteran and I can't even get past the first portion with the executioner, there's way too many zombies and Sheva's a dumbass but I don't want to play with another player the first time because I want to explore at my own leisure :) The game is...

    Guitar Hero WT vs Rock Band 2

    I'm mainly interested in difference in the core gameplay mechanics and the instruments, I've only had the chance to play Guitar Hero 3 and I enjoyed it but I enjoy rhythm games for their technical difficulty and the overall fun factor and GH3 was amazing in this respect, I hear Rock Band 1 is a...

    LittleBigPlanet update error...

    I can't remember the exact digits, I'll post them when I get the error again. Anyways, I've had my PS3 since November and I can connect to PSN just fine, I've created multiple accounts, downloaded several demos, I have even bought from the store (Wipeout HD) just fine. Updates for GTA IV...

    I don't know if this is the right section but...

    One of my friends wants me to create and update/maintain (basically be the webmaster) a new website for a brand of clothes he is importing. The website's style and complexity would be along the lines of something like A&F's website (Abercrombie & Fitch) or any other similar brand of clothes so...

    Resistance 2 for a PC gamer

    I've always been a PC and console gamer, however, I'm still VERY much used to playing VASTLY different games on each platform (generally FPS and RTS on PC and the rest on console), however this generation has mixed thing up a bit. I prefer all my shooters on PC, I just like the control and...

    I need a recommendation for a silent PSU...

    I'm looking for a good balance between reliability, performance and silence without really sacrificing either but silence is the main priority I guess, so any suggestions? The topic summary contains the main specifications of the system the PSU will have to drive, I'll likely keep this PSU in...

    Disabling annoying net.framework stuff

    I don't know what it is, I had always avoided installing net.framework 1.1 because of this but now even after I uninstalled it (I had to install it to get SketchPhysics to work) I still get annoying stuff like the Welcome screen even though there is only one user (the most annoying thing of...

    Spore

    What the hell is wrong with this game? The save feature is broken. I'm stuck in the tribal phase because I went to conquer a village and get some food and suddenly two other tribes attacked me with like 6 members each, I lose and the game reloads at the start of the battle. No matter what I...

    Upcoming Hot Games for 2008!

    I know this is the PC gaming forum but I decided to include 360/PS3 games so owners of all 3 (or 2) platforms can decide which version of the game to get and for PC-only owners to decide whether a console might be of their interest in the future. Maybe I'll include DS/PSP in a future update...

    Do PS3s still come with composite cables?

    I'm just wondering if I would need to buy the component cables separately if I bought a PS3.

    Is it me or is the 360's d-pad just awful?

    I mean, apart from that, the controller is pretty great. Analog sticks have great feel and spacing, buttons are polished, pretty and have a sturdy feel, the bumpers have a nice click to them and the analog triggers are amazing but why, oh god why, did Microsoft make possibly the worst d-pad in...

    GTX 260 vs HD 4870

    I'm looking to upgrade the card in my PC so that I can pass it on to my Mac Pro, however I'm torn between the GTX 260 and the HD 4870, on one hand the 4870 seems to have EXCELLENT AA performance and overall better performance across the board however the GTX 260 seems dominant in many UE3 games...

    Devil May Cry 4 not filling the screen

    I hope you understand what I'm saying, it's not so much of a problem since I can run on native but I'd like to turn it down a notch to keep a constant 60fps (essential for a game like this) however when I do this the monitor does not scale at all (the image is displayed on a 1:1 pixel ratio)...

    Question about Mass Effect's lore...

    Is the fact that everyone measures years (a "galactic standard year" seems to be the same as an Earth year), time, Gs (force), etc by human standards and the glaring fact that every species knows and speaks English ever explained in the game? They seem to go out of their way to explain why...

    Mass Effect constant freezing

    I just got Mass Effect for PC, from the moment the game began the game blew me away, I'm really excited about this game however I seem to be having a bit of technical troubles. I'm running Windows XP, a 8800GT and a Core 2 Duo E6750, I'm going to try changing my drivers (I'm running 177.41...

    Jun Takeuchi Interviewed by MultiplayerBlog about Resident Evil 5

    http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com...l-5-producer-comments/ Read it, it's pretty hilarious (but also interesting), I didn't know racism was such a big issue with RE5 (I thought we were beyond racism as a whole anyways) but Resident Evil 5 sure does look awesome.

    Flagship Studios goes the way of the dodo

    http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/n...aff-Fired-All-I-P-Lost It's sad to see a good team of developers go bankrupt, their game Mythos had a lot of promise and I'm not sure how Hanbitsoft will handle it (probably turn it into a full-fledged MMORPG for the asian market). I don't know what...

    Diablo II is crashing and killing the Direct3D.

    I've tried 175.16 and 177.31 drivers (with modded inf) and it still crashes. What happens is that after some time playing (though the latest crash occurred a few minutes into the game) the graphics will glitch out and give me just enough time to save & exit. However once that happens any app...

    Post a picture of your games folder!

    I just thought this would be a way of sprucing up "favorite games" and "currently playing" threads, instead of using words, use pictures! If you can, highlight the games that you play the most at the moment. Here are the games I currently have installed after the reformat, I play most of them...

    Toshiba SD-H802A 2.4X HD-DVD Drive

    Problems with 8600GT on silent pc

    I have a silent PC from which I recently updated from a 8500GT to a 8600GT, since the fans on these are quite noisy I disconnected them and just used a PCI blower which works wonders in terms of temperatures and with the 8500GT everything was just fine running the beta 174.70 drivers. On the...

    Wow Doom3 Ultra Quality ACTUALLY IS for 512MB videocards!

    I've been playing around with the video memory hardware monitor plugin in RivaTuner and I've found out Doom3 uses a whole whooping 495MB of memory at Ultra High 1280x1024 and only 2XAA, I've found this to be surprising as the most I've logged in UT3 has been like 430MB and in Crysis around...

    Hellgate: London

    I'm kind of interested in giving this game a whirl, I've recently played through Dungeon Siege II, Titan Quest and the Mythos beta and I want some more action RPG so I thought HG:L would fit the bill perfectly but I have one doubt, I've seen the game has gotten a lot of patches, including one...

    Broken Fixed Aspect Ratio scaling

    I can't get fixed aspect ratio to work for the life of me, the monitor just keeps stretching the whole image, what's worse it works perfectly in XP. I've tried 163.69, 169.25 and 174.70 and they none have fixed this problem it's getting pretty annoying (running old games and emulators is pretty...

    Tips for getting into STALKER

    I really want to get into STALKER, I really do but I just can't bring myself to play the game for more than 30 minutes and even then I feel overwhelmed by the interface and the amount of stuff to do.

    Crysis Comeback: Moves 1 Million Copies

    http://kotaku.com/351661/crysi...moves-1-million-copies Hope it's true, Crysis is a pretty good game and hopefully Crytek won't be disencouraged from making PC-centric games and turn to the dark side of console development.

    Bioshock, who uses the quest arrow?

    I've been playing some more Bioshock and I've realized the quest arrow makes the game extremely linear and in a way makes you lose much of what makes the Bioshock experience so unique. I'm just interested to know, who here uses the quest arrow? I personally don't, I just found myself way too...

    Bioshock Impressions.

    So I FINALLY got the game and well I'm enjoying it a lot. I've played for a few hours (maybe 4-6 ) and I'm on the Arcadia level and its definitely surprised me. The story is engaging but the amount of diaries is overwhelming, with all the sound effects sometimes its hard to understand what...
