We would be grateful if a few more people could idle in the channel as well, it'll help keep the channel active .

Skyrim System Requirements Have Been Announced

With Skyrim only being a few weeks away Beth Blog has announced what the games minimum and recommended requirements will be, so finially you'll have an idea of how well it is going to run on your system. Unfortunately there is still no information on what kind of support there will be for multi monitor systems, but I remain hopeful they have taken the route of Oblivion.

You can find the system requirements at the bottom of this news article (you'll need to click the title first if your on the home page) or via Bethblog source link at the bottom.

Battlefield 3

The direct sequel to Battlefield 2. It is build on this foundation and includes things left out of the Bad Company series such as fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles. The game features maps set in Paris, Tehran, Sarajevo, Sulaymaniyah, New York, Wake Island and Oman. As a whole, combat takes place in urban streets, metropolitan downtown areas, and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat.

Might & Magic Heroes VI

The Heroes of Might & Magic saga may get a new name, but its foundations remain. In this new installment of the well-known turn-based series of strategy games, conquered cities can be converted to your faction... Now you can stack even more units to your existing hero's mega-army and forget about interracial morale maluses.

Insane 2

A nitro-powered offroad racing game with a variety of vehicles, terrains and game modes, including good ol' Capture The Flag. This "russian reboot" has no relation with Codemasters/Invictus cult classic 1nsane, though. Insane 2 aka In2ane is only available through digital distributor Gamersgate at the moment.

LEGO Alpha Team

Using your puzzle solving skills, you must lead the Alpha Team and stop Mr. Ogel from turning the world into zombies.

Instead of controlling the characters on screen, you must place lego blocks, ramps, stairs, pogo-pads and many other items to help the character dodge enemies and traps. But be careful, he/she is always on the move so you have to be quick to place the items in the right place. One wrong move, and you have to start all over again.
