Sectorgame

Been playing a few demos... Sins of a solar empire is awesome!

Might give Dead Space a try.

Word of warning about Warhead, it has...issues. That you could run Crysis assures nothing.

What do you mean by 'issues'? I thought that after the optimisation and all it would run better.

Unless you are talking about that DRM that everyone is complaining about.

I think the optimisation for Warhead consisted of removing the highest graphics setting.

They did not optimize it that I could detect, it runs slower and its loading screens have the worst stablity in a game I've seen in years. Deoptimized, maybe.

Bah, swing and a miss...

Nope, I'm playing it now, and the highest setting has been renamed to 'Enthusiast'.

It's working well as well, although I suppose it doesn't really matter to me as the original Crysis never had insufferable framrates on this machine anyway. I'm pretty sure I can see a difference though. The graphics even look slightly better too.

The best thing I've found so far is this characters ability (or common sense) to dual wield these wonderful compact SMGs with a clip of 40 rounds each that are quite lethal in CQC. The best thing about them though (however gimmicky and idiotic you may think me for this) is that the independant Left and Right mouse buttons control the firing of the independant Left and Right guns as opposed to Left mouse firing both alternately or at the same time, now giving you the option, which is incredibly wonderful to use.

EDIT- Fortunately nobody posted before I could get this edit in. After spending a while playing warhead I have realised that it seems to run (maybe for a number of completely unrelated reasons) slower. It seems that on the highest graphical settings at a resolution of 1920x1200 and with 8x AA enabled it is running even slower than Crysis did. Actually, this may be to do with the facts that I had started it running, played on warhead with no AA enabled for 10 minutes, then went and watched a film for 2 1/2 hours with it still running, saw that it had crashed by the time I cam back, and decided to go on it again and bump up the AA ingame without refreshing the PC or the engine, and had IE running with about 12 tabs open.

The majority of that may have been boasting, but another likely cause is simply that this PC is about five months older than it was when I first played through Crysis, and in that time has had about 318 GB of crap put on it.

On the positive side, my volcanic quad core (not boasting, just building up the gravity) is running at 30C while I am playing, as opposed to it being 38 at idle last night. That may however be thankful to the loving de-dust I gave it just now, or Crysis Warhead is so cool it is having a notable affect on the CPU.

That or it's the fact that the heating is turned off and all my windows are wide open on a near 0 night at quater to twelve.

near 0C. LOL. Try 0F.

I got Fallout 3 for Christmas. So far so good, although I can't shake off the familiar feeling of Morrowind.

Morrowind? You even played Morrowind? In Morrowind people don't run, they dance!

In my experience they jerked... or was that the copy-protection?

At least in Fallout 3, though, I have an idea what i'm trying to do. In Morrowind I ended up a) killing people and stealing all their clothes - with a nude mod of course - for the hell of it and b) stealing cutlery for my enormous house o' spoons.

Thankfully I'll be getting a new CPU that'll basically double my CPU power (dual core vs. single) so my computer should be able to more easily handle OFP2 or SC2...

Well, I heard Quantum of Solace 007 is r0x0r, so hopefully I'll be able to get that ^_~

I'm not too sure of Quantom of Solace, I heard the quality is bad. 007 games have never been the same since Goldeneye - which in my opinion is the best 007 game in history with maybe Nightfire in second. Games based on movies have gotten worse, they make them for the money; not in-mind of gamers.

As for games of this year, I'll probably be getting Farcry 2 (PC), World at War (PC), and maybe LotR: Conquest (heard online sucks but singleplayer is quite fun). I tried Fallout 3 but I didn't find it that fun however, I was amused with the fact you can slice your enemy's body into pieces with a knife.

Ok, so far this winter I've played FEAR, Fallout 3 and the Penumbra series. I've also spent time with Mirrors Edge, Fatal Frame 3, Pacman, Cuboid and some other stuff..

How is FEAR and Mirror's Edge? I was looking at those games but never tried them.
