Installed and played SimCity 3000 and 4 Deluxe edition and I've been playing them on and off for about 2 months now, too bad there aren't city builders like SimCity 4 today. Cities XL just doesn't feel the same, different build style, zoning, that trading thing etc.

i think thats where motion based controls are going to be better than a keyboard and mouse for the console user. Move is a step in the right direction I think, providing more accuracy than thumb sticks can. More buttons would be nice too. Not so sure about Kinect. This. But Kinect needs a lot more ...

Imagine a world where your publisher and developer only streams video. No more need a geforce GTX9870ti quad sli to run a game. The downside is you need a stable, unshaped, uncapped internet for full 1080p 3d stream (24mb I think). So which way is gaming going? The publisher/developer or online dis...

Still gonna be some time until the dx11 patch is released, but it should be before Crytech releases the cryengine 3 sdk to the public.

always loved painkiller, now skill based mindless violence, EPIC WIN!

Bulletstorm is really good. The gameplay is really fast, and the engine also feels crisp (no mouse lag). First time i saw it was on duty calls lol

I read an article about the same demo elseware, they say Epic games used 3 GTX580's in SLI to render this demo and it will only be implemented in a few years when mainstream GPUs have that power

Thanks for the link! I've got a 550w psu, but it says i'm only using 359w? Enough juice left over for crossfire later

Anyone seen Source Code?

Thanks for the 401 Stuart Welcome crathob. Interesting name. Tell us why you chose it please. (if it is an ingame reference forgive me but it is not ringing any bells) No in game reference, but I can't actually tell you why its 'crathob'... personal reasons. Hope you understand, I'm not trying to be...

For me it was, in order:

1. Half life 2
2. Halo (3 + Reach)
3. Battlefield (1942 + 2)
4. Portal
5. Fallout 3
6. Crysis

Edit : Whoops forgot Minecraft (1st version came out June 2009), but I don't know where to put it...

Hi I'm crathob, I'm verry happy to be here :) Actually I tried signing up about a year ago but couldn't due to my email adress 'not being allowed' or something? But its fine now, on with more info: I've played PC games for 10 years or what now Best game ever: Half Life 2. full stop. I don't really l...

Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising brilliant game :D are you planning on grabbing Red River as well? also, welcome to the forums! be sure to pop in >>here<< and give us just enough personal detail to assign you an official stalker... Yep I'm definitely getting red river. I'm hoping its a bit long...

Valve please release Episode 3! My guess is that they are designing a new engine for episode 3, because the source engine is lagging behind the latest engines like CryEngine3, Frostbite 2 and Unreal Engine (with the updates they are planning). Half Life 2 is my favourite game of all time, and I've b...

Finished Portal 2 a few days ago. There is a required 268MB download in steam before you can play (Why?). The singleplayer is just as short as the first, it took me 4 and a half hours from start to finish. I'm waiting for one of my friends to get Portal 2 as well, so that we can play co-op :) . Must...

Another +1 for Homefront. The game was overhyped, with too much marketing and advertisements. The singleplayer campaign is way too short, finished it in 4 hours, and the combat feels too much like COD (running on a predatermined path, shooting down enemies that pops up). On a lighter note though, th...

It's quite hard finding wolves. I played for about two hours just walking around (and mining/building of course) looking for one. Then when i got out of one of my mines, I ran right into one, was startled and killed it by accident. Back to square 1 again...

Minecraft - Up to hour #20 probably, I keep finding new things to do
Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising - Got it the other day, Co-op LANed it with my friends, played ever since.
