» marketing bs
this is pure marketing BS, how many steam users have a sandy bridge to actually use this feature??? 30 million Steam users says Gabe and maybe 1000 have a sandy bridge. Wow, great way to look out for the majority of your customers Valve!

» how could u not review in DX11?
really disappointed that u guys didnt review this in DX11! what has gotten into u guys? I come to firingsquad for the hardware analysis of PC games, and to omit reviewing it in DX11 seems completely incomprehensible to me?!!? Why would u do such a thing? Lazy review IMO.

so the rest of us are supposed to wait because u're still stuck in the stoneage? what next, u dont want to game because u need to upgrade from your geforce 3???

gimme a break, every modern computer has internet connection or quite frankly its useless. Steam saw a market, of which u are not, and decided to cater to it. From what im reading they've been ridiculously successful. So excuse the rest of us for not caring that u guys want to be left behind.

I've grown to love Steam, its convenient, & updates all my games without the headache of googline for the latest patch (remember CoH? try installing that fresh and looking for all the patches, its a pain in the As$).

» selling out?
im quite shocked at ur blatant support of phys-x saying its an "Ace in the hole" and its growing. how much did nvidia pay u to say these things? phys-x, as long as it remains closed and not open code, will never take off, and i sure as hell aint gonna buy a graphics card based on physx support.

nice list but some mistakes:

1. medieval 2 didnt have naval warfare that u could participate in, so ETW didnt vastly improve it, it added it.

2. bioware didnt make icewind dale, black isle did.

» mid range isnt mid range
i wouldnt consider a 5850 1gb to be a midrange card, especially @ $310. no game out even stresses it, i'd much rather swap a $150 4870 1gb for the midrange segment.

» important for me
well it seems this guy has his own agenda and isnt being objective. Me and alot of gamers will check review sites we TRUST, if a game has bad reveiws across the board ofcourse im not gonna buy it if im unsure. Relic is my favorite developer, but i never bought tales of valor even though im a big fan of their RTSs because of the reviews, they said it simply wasnt worth the asking price from Relic and other forum members agreed.

so u trust ur government w/ education, the military, and police, but you WONT trust them w/ healthcare?? that sounds absurd. Healthcare is the ONE thing i would never want privatized cause it all boils down to making money, something i would never want.

» in canada
well, in canada healthcare is universal but it sure as hell is'nt "free" as some people imply. we pay for it through the nose in taxes, not that i mind since i know if i ever get a life threatening disease im covered. it doesnt matter if its cancer, aids, or Gonorahea, going to the doctor is covered and the required treatments are also covered albeit drugs are NOT covered. But from what im reading they're much cheaper than the USA. I'm not sure how that works w/ cancer since there are so many drugs u need, but if its life threatening the fees might be waived. I never understood how the richest country in the world can actually let one of its citizens die if they dont have the money (read insurance) to pay for treatment. I honestly didnt believe it the first 10x i heard that but finally believed it after reading about real life cases where it happened. insane.

wow u really limit the choices in ur polls sometimes to the point of confusion, there's no choice for "Vista is fine for me"??? u'd think u'd remember there's another OS out there alot of us are using and its solid as a rock.

im thoroughly enjoying the game. I loved the single player campaign and found it really intense, the story was fabulous and rpg element made my conscious of who to deploy not deploy. but i gotta admit after the final mission became available it was just defense mission after defense mission and that got a little repetitive, especially when 2 of em where gonna expire the same day. Regardless, up until that point it was absolutely stellar. Loving MP. Looking forward to the expansions!!!

I dont get it, are'nt bundled games supposed to show off the power of the hardware you're buying? i'd hardly consider any of blizzard's games to be graphically intensive or state of the art.:/

» why 89%??
when reading your verdict, you sound like you're satisfied w/ the game, not fascinated by it. Why would you give a score of 89% for that? your rating system doesnt seem to make much sense? love the site, your benchmarks & hardware reviews are top notch, but your game reviews dont add up.

» some politically incorrect stuff in dante's book
a game wherein u travel through dante's 9 circles of hell? so, im pretty sure 99% of gamers have'nt read dante's inferno, but for those that did, there's a circle of hell that is a city filled w/ mu$lims and jeew$ burning for their heresy, and the mu$lim prophet mohammed is in the 9th circle of hell being chewed by satan if i remember correctly. How is EA gonna handle that part of the game? politically incorrect would be a massive understatement.

» more info plz
nice round up of all the cards, but next time could u provide more info for specs between the cards, in this case their shader clocks? i was looking everywhere on the web to find if the cards had different shader clocks, which they do, especially the Asus Top card which i found out has a shader clock of 1750mhz over the 1500mhz stock 8800gt. that's pretty pertinent info me thinks. sorry for the rant, great roundup otherwise.

man u'd think for $750,000 they'd actually put top of the line components. the computer itself is a bloody mid-range comp for pete's sake.

drkeo, israel has alot of dirt on its hands. this is not a good vs evil scenerio, israel believes in collective punishment and bombs the crap out of residential areas (in their lebanon war alone they killed 1400+ people, mostly civilians). its as vicious and uncomprimising as its enemies.
