I think its interesting to have the esteemed Governor backing this absurd law. As opponents have pointed out the games are already rated, trying to take anything beyond ratings systems sort of infringes on various rights.

To think Schwarzenegger released all those movies with weapons, death and ...

I'm not a fan of RUSE's graphics. I've tried the beta and I wasn't that impressed. It's hard not to compare it with world in conflict, which I think was a lot better.

The graphics are different and I like the unusual approach. Its like the Team fortress of RTS, cartoony but still needs the ...

Soooooo........

Tried the demo....pretty interesting. Clever graphics and interesting gameplay. Want to put in a few more hours of playing time before giving feedback.....

I wonder if I can read a thread about an Ubisoft game for the next few years without seeing the phrase "DRM."

Actually I think Ubisoft, DRM and [insert rant here] are pretty much a given for the forseeable future... :lol:

Although I want to see if the videos really represent the game, will the final product be stuck with the DRM thats burning up the forums???

Admittedly we dont know the whole truth, but its getting ugly on the west coast.

Had to laugh when I read this;

In their initial filing in the suit against Activision, former Infinity Ward employees ...

the larger areas are nice for a console shooter port.

Supposedly its not a port, they had a separate development team working on the PC version.

At least thats what they said.

Good news bad news...

Sounds like they are making an effort with the visuals;

Bioshock 2 will support single-screen 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions. The game has been optimized to ensure that all game elements such as menus, HUD, UI, etc appear exactly the same regardless of what ...

anyone know where to get keys without a pre-order?

Got mine through Fileplanet...no pre-order.

Played for about an hour....good looking maps, beautiful graphics, immersive sounds.

Theres no lean option and everyone seems to be playing sniper :shock:

Jury is still out....

While some of the strategy was lost from the original GR series with GRAW, I actually like both games and load them every so often. Right now I'm playing through the games again after reformating my HD.

I'm just afraid the pc version will go the way of the FPS trends of third person, 'power ups ...

So more info has come out about the new Ghost Recon game, but are they going to dumb it down?

Doesn't sound good....

"The evolution of Ghost Recon will bring a completely new and fresh approach to the shooter genre," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said.

Maybe they consider what the game ...

Hmm, I never got a single one of those "Payment failed" screens (in the six times I bought games since the Xmas sale started).

Same here....until I tried (and eventually bought) Mass Effect yesterday.

Just one of those things I guess.

I'm having trouble buying games through steam atm. It gives me an error message @ the screen where you select payment option... It's kind of frustrating... Anyone else experiencing this?

Ditto....got through eventually, now its taking forever to download.

Ahh the cost of saving money....

Great topic!

GOW 2.....the first one had me really close to getting an Xbox...thankfully it came out on PC.

Halo ODST...or whatever it is......played it on my nephews Xbox...could really clean up with a keyboard and mouse!!

Just watched the videos.

Officially excited.

As convenient as steam is, I miss buying, racing home and loading up a new game. With the number stores carrying a decent range of PC games or the new releases, its not unusual for me to drive to a couple of stores.

Then if I do find it, it has to be registered or load up through Steam ...

Upside
Never have to worry about scratched or lost disks
Always patched within a reasonable amount of time
The biggest sell for me
Reloading games after reformatting the HD is as easy click and wait...no re-entering keys, etc

Downside
Miss reading through a game manual for the first ...

So the battle is on for the Trekkers (Trekkies) and the upcoming Star Trek Online game. Sellers are offering exclusives for the pre-order business;

•GameStop -- GameStop customers receive the ability to command the exclusive and always classic USS Enterprise from Star Trek The Original Series ...

Certainly telling how little interest this latest rumor got in the cyberworld :shock:

Although I've had the game since its release, real life, upgrading to Windows 7 and other distractions have kept me from spending any great time with it.

Just as well since codemasters has patched the mess they made with the lack of dedicated servers.

Having had the chance to spend most of ...
