    GTS 250 or ATI's 4770?

    Hey guys! I am looking to get my young brother a video card for some gaming. His 7950GT recently died, and his birthday is in a few days, so I am looking to get him one of those two cards as a present. He games on a 17'' monitor, so either of those cards should be sufficient. Trouble is...

    STEAM has 15 million users

    This is a few days old, but I don't think anyone here posted this: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/02...hits-15-million-users/ Considering the 360 has 17 million, just considering the 15 million for STEAM alone is more than impressive.

    Space Siege

    Ever since the preview in PC Gamer, I've been looking forward to this game. I really enjoyed Dungeon Siege. I quite liked the hack and slash gameplay, the looting, the visuals, and the excellent party AI. However I felt the game wasn't without its faults. Even when compared to an RPG light game...

    The Witcher sells a million copies... and still counting.

    Not sure if this has been posted here before: http://n4g.com/pc/News-81964.aspx Great news. Just goes to show that the PC is a strong platform, and that new intellectual property can still make it. The game has been in the USA top ten for a while as well.

    Waaaah where is the 9xxxx series?

    I bought the 8800GTX on a whim the month it was released. I am so glad I didn't wait for the R600, because of the infamous delays etc. It has been a year now, and there is no sign of the new Nvidia series. I am getting impatient damnit! I want to play Crysis again, and this time with...

    Japanese developers...

    Before you read the following, keep in mind, I am not American. I know I am going to get a lot of flak for this, but I just find Japanese developers to not be as good as Americans when it comes to interfaces, polish, and sensible design decisions. In fact, "not be as good" is probably too...

    NPD November 2007 Data.

    http://www.thesimexchange.com/blogpost.php?post_id=455 What is amazing is how well COD4 sold. For a game with an extremely short singleplayer campaign, it sold over 1,500,000 units on the 360 and 444,000 on the PS3. Crysis did above TSE expectations, selling nearly a 90,000 on the PC for...

    Just finished Portal -- Oh wow.

    Man I finished Portal. The HL2 engine still holds up really well in indoor settings. The portal gun is gorgeous looking, and every so often I'd just pause and admire the weapon textures. But the game is really sweet, and pretty much the perfect length. I love the ending, and the game seems...

    The new Valve system survey has started.

    Last year when I took the same survey, I found the results to be very different to what they are today, and in a good way. It seems to me that interest in having a good PC has increased significantly. As you may note, this new survey only started 3 weeks ago, so things could look very different...

    CRYSIS was so awesome! (Got some screenies. Big 56K warning)

    I think Crysis is the best action game to come out in years. I just completed it, and boy, the last few hours are just non stop exhilaration. The action in the final segment is awe inspiring and of the highest order. I am left drained, yet in partial withdrawal because I am left gasping for...

    Gears of War screenies -- 56k warning.

    It is highly unfortunate that Microsoft continues to tarnish its reputation amongst gamers, by using dishonest tactics. For starters, you can't save the game without creating a Windows Live ID. While you can create an offline ID, which can be used for singleplayer or LAN, split screen gaming is...

    Finished COD4, and took some screenies.

    Just finished it, and it was the most fun I had with a shooter since F.E.A.R! I really loved it. While at five hours or so, the game is really short, it is some of the most awesome five hours you could hope for. The action is fast paced, very intense and has more "holy shit" moments than...
