    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

    Been playing since it came out, many mixed feelings. Its pretty fun overall but there are just many little things preventing this game from being something I see myself playing for more than a few weeks. a few of these negatives: lack of game settings. this is huge imo. the difference...

    OFP2 out this week

    Its weird, all of what you say is true yet I am really enjoying the game. Then again I think it is a bit of a hold-me-over until something else type enjoyment. OFP1 had its own set of dorky behavior though. Buggy, overly combersome with AI quirks that would just totally ruin a mission...

    good questions, tell ya what ill post a more thought out mini review and answer thosr questions after I play more. but, fun moment last night....annoying helicopter gunship last night, we kept taking shots at it with m16, m4. finally my buddy hit it near the propeller and it came crashing...

    OFP2 out this week

    Holy negativity. Not that this could change your mind based on consoles or the average spoiled brat on the forums but I played it last night with a friend doing co-op and had an awesome time. love the game so far. However, if it doesn't have dedicated server support-that is lame. My buddy...

    OFP2 out this week

    Who else is getting Operation Flashpoint 2? I haven't seen anything hinting at a Steam version so guess I need to go old school. Saw a xbox 360 review somewhere that gave it 8/10. but I am sure it will be significantly better on PC. should be out today or tomorrow.

    New ME2 video

    My imagination just went wild envisioning a female Krogan sex scene. Lots of grunting and drooling probably. Yep...you were all thinking the same thing. Muahahahaha

    New ME2 video

    I usually play goodie 2 shoes, But Mass effect was one of the rare titles where playing through as a bad ass renegade was FAR more enjoyable. They managed to pull off a kinda "I will blow your motherfukin head off for the sake of humanity" type attitude that I loved. He wasn't Evil, just...

    Operation Flashpoint 2

    I did not play the 1st. but I have my eye on this. looking for a good new fps that's of the realistic side- something good for sp or fun with a couple friends. That being said I am skeptical too as these games seem to be buggy and in need of a few patches before it is playable. might need...

    Replaying Stalker

    The complete mod does look nice as well and has many similarities with the supermod. Supermod is a bit much , but so far I love it. Can even drive vehicles. But it was pretty hefty I do not feel like un-installing it to download another one quite yet. I would do some research on the...

    Replaying Stalker

    Wow, this mod is awesome. Actually it is a collection of mods including Oblivion lost. Almost a totally different game than I remember. Only thing is I cant quite seem to get the difficulty to where I want it. "skilled" is too easy. "Elite" is damn hard. Fun stuff. Still haven't gotten...

    should I get madden 2010

    I have gotten the new madden every year on the 360 because well...I love football and theres no other options. year to year..its been worth it ( barely ). *sniff I still miss nfl2k series*. anyhow I mainly just play single player franchise. I just could live without it this year. then...

    What to do with old PC?

    So, I finally started thinking about perhaps turning my current pc into a media center when I buy/build a new main rig. But, I am pretty much a newb when it comes to network/streaming media. What general advice can you guys give me on building a media center? even as simple as what do you...

    Any new top down/isometric rpgs out there?

    I also recommend Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. Old game from 2001 ala Baldurs gate. That is if you do not mind something dated - but its a great game. I must admit I had a hard time getting far in it - I think the combat system was a bit frustrating but from what I hear if you...

    Third Age: Total War **Patch 1.2 Released**

    Just wanted to say I tried this yesterday after reinstalling the game, the expansion ( longest install ever including downloads damn ). Anyway, must say I am enjoying this. It is well done overall my only complaint is I do not remember large siege battles being quite this laggy but oh well...

    Did you enjoy Baldur's Gate 1/2, Planescape Torment, or Icewind Dale back in the day?

    There is a Font Mod available for BG2 which is supposed to increase the font size and add floating fonts. I am using the widescreen mod however - for some reason this mod will not work for me I dont see any difference. No idea why. Worth a shot though. Long live Baldurs Gate! The mod...

    Guys I figured it out. It was my powercord. In all my years of computing I have never had one of those things go. Took me a while to figure it out lol.

    Well, suspect I may need a new pc. I would prefer to Build one but my current pc crapped the bed and I neec one quick as I use it for work remoting and don't have a backup. I also do gaming so needs to Be decent. I can salvage a couple things from the old one like the video card (9800gt). so...

    Comp suddenly keeps rebooting.

    Good idea however sadly, I can't even sit in bios for more than a few seconds when I just tried. could barely get a chance to look at temps, voltage running down the numbers ( couldn't look long enough to tell ya what's what) something like: 24 degree cpu 26 degree mb 1.36 3.32 4.97...

    Comp suddenly keeps rebooting.

    Well this sucks, see if anyone can help :) Symptom: Computer keeps rebooting. Its as if someone keeps flicking the power button. Sometimes I can Boot up but then within like 2 min ( if lucky ) it will do it again. Its making some odd noises to make it more strange. like my cpu fan will...

    Steam snags Sierra Adventure Games

    haha, sweet! These titles bring back fond memories. The Irony here is I did not get past SQ2 I believe because back then my family had a Mac ( living at home ) and I couldnt run SQ3. Now, many years later I worry these games will run good on a modern PC with widescreen res. Also how cheesy...

    The Witcher - is it worth playing without the Enhanced Edition?

    You know I have been wanting to try the EE yet I cant warrant paying for it. I played the original edition pretty far through but its flaws got the best of me and I could not finish it. Most notable was playing on the hard difficult requires actually using alchemy. Most fights were still...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic Trailer

    Well said. My only disagreement was that I think the next great mmo for me can still be class based. What I and many of you are sick of is the tin-can tread mill games. I will use Warhammer I think is the pinnacle of what mmo has become. I say that because while WoW is surely the most...

    MMORPG DarkFall

    Any time I even see this game mentioned I have to snicker. Is this game available to anyone other than the unemployed yet? You know, by unemployed I really mean the people that can sit around all day hitting F5 in vain hopes that the online store opens? Quite apparent who this game is...

    Would you put time into Wizardry 8 today?

    Dude! Wiz 8 is a classic, one of my all time favs. I will try to use Baldurs Gate as an analogy to this game in terms of 'wow this game looks dated' but the layers of strategy and charcter creation possibilities are endless. Wiz 8 has some annoyances ( like waiting for the AIs turn in big...

    Are you hardcore enough

    I am not. I am currently training my skills for Darkfall online. I still have not graduated from DFO bootcamp. In case you do not know, this game is so f****** hardcore, most people such as I , are not even uber enough to BUY It! Today I took a big step. I actually figured out when it is...

    MMORPG DarkFall

    Talk about a wide range of opinions on a game - DFO has it all. There are some obvious rough spots in this game... like.. trying to BUY IT! I am SOL until they make this game available for people who arent skipping school to sit aroud hitting refresh all day to place an order. Work comes...

    Runes Of Magic(March 19th Official Live Release)

    Yeah, in fact it is so close to Warcraft, how can these guys not be sued? I mean down to some of the rogue skill names are the same I believe, much less what they do. Yeah, I dont think they could pay me to play another game thats the same as every other theme park MMO to come out since WoW.

    Runes Of Magic(March 19th Official Live Release)

    So much for being clean and sober from mmos haha! But, Runes of Magic is free so that feeling of guilt for trying another mmo is not there. Anyhow, this is nothing we have not seen before. however 3 things that interest me: 1. Free! however you can pay cash for good items. so if you...

    Runes Of Magic(March 19th Official Live Release)

    sorry for sloppy post, had to edit. doing it from my phone :) but...yeah AC comes to mind and naturally the will be powerful dual class combos. I would wager out of 64 possible only 20ish used. rogue/scout for example is a obvious choice because the stats and gear fall in line.

    The MMO ITCH!

    3 months clean and sober from mmos since I quit a very bland short lived experience with warhammer. Anyone else like me, feel like they have finally hit the end of the road with mmos? I still have that unexplainable itch to be playing one. but nothing out there can scratch it.
