Just got a new rig.
Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16 GHz, nForce 750i, 9800GT.
Now I can play Team Fortress 2 with all settings maxed at 1680x1050 with a constant 60+ FPS.
I like
Also playing Witcher EE and Wipeout HD.
Great stuff
Ubersoldier. The copyright protection is really stupid, especially if you have Vista. It simply doesn't work. I had to get a crack/hack for the game to actually work.
Starforce is the name of the copyright program.. it attempts to mess with your registry and Vista doesn't like that at all.
Replaying one of my all-time favourites right now : Max Payne 2
I'm amazed to see that this game still looks pretty good five years after it was released. Jeeshh, Fallout is not even released yet and it still looks outdated...I also can't believe the quality of writing, the charisma of the characters, level design, storyline. Everything is perfect.
Played the demo of Dynasty Warriors 6 yesterday. (PC)
The first thing i should mention is that you can forget playing this thing without a decent gamepad with at least one, but better two analog sticks. So there was he map of the battlefield in front of me, i hadn`t much of a idea what tactic i should use. In my first playthrough i got my ass kicked by archers and those brothers who rushed from behind and it was a good feeling to know that tactics are important. To be honest it has bad AI (enemys just looking at you) and a camera which you`ll have to move around by yourself sometimes. But i had a lot of fun in my second playthrough. I haven`t played the series for a long time but now you can command your officers which enemy officer they should attack. Victory felt really good. Maybe i`ll get this, but not for the fullprice.
Clear Sky. Despite its bugginess it is a huge improvement gameplay-wise over SoC. Artifact are actually special now, instead of laying around everywhere. Gotta love fast travel. Faction wars also add some diversity.
Playing Mass Effect (Pc) ...i have to play it for a couple of hours to see wether i like it or not but for now i must say that the Soundtrack is Awesome ...especially the main theme !
The Witcher: EE
Not that much different than the original, but it is nicely polished. I decided to go Order of the Flaming Rose this time around. I'm thinking about making a mod, but there are better games to mod out there.
