It is no longer a psychological thriller: it is now another zombie horror shooter, replete with combat shotgun.

Remedy straight up sold out, and this thread belongs in the consoles section.


Oh please. Why did it win a number of "Best of E3" awards then? Everyone that played it loved it.

And this thread is about the PC version showing as listed for pre-order, so no, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense in the console section.

I remember a lot of people paying top dollar for the "bleeding edge" Q6600 for this game haaahaaaaaaaaaaaa.

An overclocked Q6600 will still be faster than nearly any stock CPU at this point...

This. I had AW in the back of my mind when opting for a quad instead of a duo, but my primary concern was how kickass the G0 Q6600 was at OC'ing. I usually just sit around 3.0 because it's absurdly easy/stable/cold. Why not pay a bit extra for a chip that will run 25% faster without breaking a sweat?

The Q6600 is still a beast there is no arguing that. The enxt logically upgrade in my mind for the Q6600 is a I7 or I9.

Without a doubt. I bought this Q6600 in Nov .. '07? And I still have absolutely no reason to be looking for a processor upgrade. Given, I don't play many PC games anymore (lack of time, not lack of desire :( ), but my machine still handles everything I throw at it just fine. Of course, I did update the graphics card.. but it's hardly being truly CPU bottlenecked.
I love my q6600. bought it back in april for like $190 and it handles 3.0GHz with ease. I also upgraded my graphics card too.
