| | maps should always be given out for free imo, we've already payed for the game, just imagine if Valve charged for their maps, surely heads would role seeing as how with DoD and TF2 they released hardly any maps at all Flag this | Edit this post |

| is it really as bad as you claim? because i've played the demos of BioShock and UT3, UT3 had maybe a 2-3 second pop in wait at the start but that was it, the game ran exceptionally smooth on my 7800GTX, though I can't really comment on BioShock as I played it on my old 6600gt, I didn't really notice any texture pops, though I did play that on low everything with lag, also I played a little bit of GoW on 360 and I don't remember any pop ins either
o yea, i'm pretty sure there were pop ins with cod4 at the beginning of the demo Flag this | Edit this post |

| | it's far too irrelevant whether like their Podcast said, it was just poorly handled or what, with constant people leaving Gamespot, they won't be getting their reputation back for years, if ever, it truly is down the tube whether they were innocent or not, I just don't know where to go for reviews though :( I used to go to Gamespy and IGN but I don't trust either of them Flag this | Edit this post |

| troll? pfft, i've played all 3 from my friends PC, only about 10mins each but that should be enough, Portal was interesting I would like to play through that, HL2 EP2 was more of the same, shallow combat and all, i'm more interested in the story, I hear Valve actually did something with it in this installment, TF2 however I wasn't very impressed with, it played dull and I was bored quickly, maybe i'd grow to it with more time but for now I could care less about it
and yes I hate Valve, they've burned me far too many times in the past (I was one of those retards who bought the HL2 Collectors Edition :@)
also, I don't care whether TF2 is worth the 50bux alone, one of the selling points of 'episodic' content was regular releases and a cheap price, well Valve has failed epically in both regards Flag this | Edit this post |

| | i'm also one of those who use Vista and find it great, the only problem I can think of was when I was playing FEAR by PC would blue screen when i'd alt-tab, which is no issue really as I rarely alt-tab in games (there was a funny screen and I wanted to load fraps to make a pic) and even then it originally didn't blue screen, it only started a while later, O and the games included aren't as well put together imo lol, they look pretty but I find teh XP versions easier to use a tiny bit Flag this | Edit this post |

| | not necessarily, it could very well be like The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, all the graphics and assets are completed, they just need to make new levels, bad guys, weapons, story and implement new features. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | that's like a misjustice to gaming and the fps genre itself! how could you NOT have those maps for PC? :@ absolutely disgusting! if this keeps up even the most hardened PC enthusiasts will have to admit that PC gaming is on a serious decline what with even rts possibly making the merger to consoles ala LOTR2, CNC3 and HaloWars Flag this | Edit this post |

| I disagree, if Oblivion can fit on a single DVD the problem will be later rather than sooner unless your making a JRPG with hours of 1080p HD video
with the HDD, one of the great mistakes this generation, multi editions of the single console, RROD and paying for online play (have people pay for all the extra special match making stuff, but not basic online play, we already payed for that when we bought the game :/ ) Flag this | Edit this post |

| | errr, ummm, yea....I can understand the idea of the ps3 outselling the 360, I mean lots of people already have the 360 and there'd be tons of people still using ps2's waiting for the ps3 to drop in price more because that's all their comfortable with (you know, the casual people sticking with the brand they know best) but not at the much of a sales difference Flag this | Edit this post |

| | HL2 and ep1 weren't really bonuses, evidenced by Orange costing more than Black with the only difference being HL2 and ep1 which any HL fan already owns (and any friends they may give those to already owning them) Flag this | Edit this post |

| errr wtf? I was under the impression that a UE3 version was already in the works, you didn't need to be so rude about it :/
/edit

| | haha, Valves lies grow ever more apparent, retailers didn't like having Black/Orange boxes my ass, Valve canceled Black Box so they could charge customers for games they already owned, i'm glad I don't have Orange Box, EA should release Black Box if they're willing to do each game individually Flag this | Edit this post |

| "as well as the 3870 X2 all within the past 2 weeks, AMD hopes to take share away from NVIDIA's GeForce 8 series,"
I don't know about you guys but after Nvidia's first attempt at dumping 2 vid cards together as one i'd never ever buy something like that, I hope this isn't the future of vid cards as it may be ages before we can get Crysis playable at max, they should go the Intel route and make something that's super efficient and uses little power Flag this | Edit this post |

| | wow, haven't played the game myself but tbh the massive amount of hype this game gets is turning me off it, I mean the demo wasn't 'that' great, at least not compared to Cod1/2, but what about Halo 3's 8 million? :/ Flag this | Edit this post |
