Games With A Saving Grace

[tuteja1986]

I think Reddick escape from butcher bay still worth playing : ) love the game. Also Deus ex too .

Frodolives,

I thought about that, in fact, I scanned over the For Sale threads. But, I don't care too much for the idea of buying a used game, especially when the difference in price is not far from that which I can buy it new. If I were in the market for one of the newer, more advanced games, I would think about it harder, because I will not pay the premiums demanded for them. I guess I'm just not enough of a gamer at heart.

Yeah I understand that, but when you want older titles sometimes you are lucky to find them. Plus my luck on these forums has been good as far as game condition, and of course if it's not stated I ask. We have a lot of gamers on the forum, apparently a number who share my concern for keeping media in good shape

By the way, have you played KOTOR? http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=45&threadid=1961077

letsee ...

no killing as object

lotsa puzzles

must find hard-to-find game new

Vendor must accept cash ... no credit cards

and you run a marginal videocard for today's games
[even though the rest of your rtig is decent]


You're pretty *fussy*, aren't you?
:Q

i guess you hit the nail on the head ... you aren't really a PC gamer

PC gamers put up with real crap to play the games they crave
:shocked:

my last suggestion is to go and D/L some free game demos and get a *feel* for what you are looking ...

and you can try D2D to d/l full games

{don't tell us you are still on dialup}

--like me

:laugh:

The new Splinter Cell game for PC perhaps? A friend of mine has been playing it, and apparently killing in there actually makes your score go down. To get a perfect score you have to sneak through undetected.

I am going off of what I have read in his posts, I have not played it myself.
