Re: Crysis graphics help???

Thanks a lot for the replies. Crysis is like a one of those spoiled brats on TV where they cry that their new BMW that was given to them for their birthday wasn't the right color. No matter how much you give it, its not enough. I never realized that Crysis could be correlated to Reality TV, German e...

Crysis graphics help???

I know this is probably redundant to tech savy people but I'm new to PC parts and specs, so I have a couple questions. 1) Is Crysis still the leading game when it comes to hardware requirements? 2) If so, what graphics card, and its equivalents, are recomended for use with this game? In regards to n...

Re: UnitedGerbilNation Census

Thanks for all the info guys, that's pretty cool. When I get my home PC running soon, I'll be glad to join the frey. Until then, I don't know what help I can be if I can't use my work PC. I work for a rather large company, and IT sucks to deal with, so I'll probably opt out of the race for now. But ...

Re: UT3 on xbox360

I am going to get it. The PS3 version is nice but no one is ever online :( I think the Xbox Live version will be more lively. Very solid game, unfortunately games like COD4 and Halo 3 get most of the attention on Xbox Live. :) BTW: Look the second game on my gamercard ;) Speaking of your gamercard,...

Both the Source and Unreal 3 engine need to be commended to how well they scale backwards. I personally think there really was cake, even bey ond the credit sequence.

Ya, I've been behind on the new games lately, I haven't picked up Mercs 2 yet either. I just don't have as much time this year as I've had in the past. Work, school, and the girlfriend take up 96% of my time. I have Gamefly though, so I might pick up some rents ta catch up on the times a little. I j...

Re: Withdrawals from gaming?

I had a HARDCORE addiction to Final Fantasy 7 around 95'. The only thing that cured it: Beating the game 14 times...thank GOD games aren't made as good as that anymore, or my couch would become my bed, my dinner table, my "activity" room....and tragically, my bathroom too probably...... Th...
