Read your comment dude. I have even more pathetic system than you. But as their are only 1-2 PC games a year that interest me these last 3 years, I don't see the reason to upgrade.

Since you want all testing to top out at 1280x1024, what would we learn by finding out that it runs at 245fps (I'm making the number up)?
I have no problem with super high resolution test, but I think 1600x is too high as the lowest one. 1280x would be fine.

Also this performance test goes through many graphics cards, I would think it would be possible to test more than 1 CPU. 2 would be fine, one high end from Intel and one high end from AMD.

I know why the x6800 CPU is used, but I think it might by interesting to do an AMD CPU benchmark also. (but of course that takes twice the time)
Maybe not with all the graphics cards but just to say if your overall impression is that they are running 10%-20% slower at low resolution and 5% slower at high (I am just guessing).

Also, am I the only one who has a monitor that maxes out at 1280x1024 (I normally play games at 800x640 in MultiP or 1024x768 in SingleP).
So 1600+ is useless to me.

» Future of gaming
After reading your fantastic article What's Killing Game Development? :) I wonder how you feel about ET:QW (and others) going the in-game ads routine? I was very disapointed
Do you think it's inevitable that games in the future will be so expensive to make that people will not be willing to pay for them and ads is the only way forward?

Which games (on any system) these past couple of years have impressed you the most, and what upcoming games are you most excited about? Also whats your stand on ET:QW, TF2 and Crysis?

Except for the blood, it doesn't look very different from Sigma. This game is actually the reason I got the 360, so it better be good.

The anti-pirate measures worked great, as Bioshock is on top.

Sound 74 is not by NiN and this is a bit of a trick question you could say.

Your guess for for sound 74 is really good, but I am going to need some thing "a bit more correct".

As for the name of the game (which sound 77 is from), you could say it's named after someone who is described as bad and an ass, but not sure about bad ass. (as he is not really evil just misunderstood)

You are correct, Image 39 Budokan. About the other thing, you might be correct on that too. One I think is moderately easy, one might be difficult but the other 2 are probably too hard.

Actually SEGA wasn't doing great, the mega cd didn't do well and the X32 was even a bigger flop. The dreamcast was actually a good system, but marketing and their previous 3 bad releases destroyed them.

No it's not Mercenaries but its a good guess as this game is very much into the killing theme.

You are correct on Image #32, however sound #67 is taken from a game of a different genre.

Edit
Sound #67 is not from America's Army.

That would be incorrect. BTW I said it was a character from a 2D fighter and that the C64 game was not classified as an RPG by mobygames, which The Bard's Tale is .

You got question 1 (image 35) down alright, it's Dirk from Dragons Lair. Question 6 (Sound 72) is not from Diddy (or donkey?) Kong Adventure, this game was actually commended for it's sound.

I like your guess for last quiz's question 5, sound 67, it's really good although wrong. This game has a very similar theme but the way it's executed and played is very different.

WoW $13.97 billion, something tells me that they can lower the monthly charges, I bet they have the cost covered for the next 10 years, no make it a 100.

/plug: New game quiz is up.
