    Amazing new Rage trailer

    Rage is beginning to look like a cross between Red Faction Geurilla, Borderlands, Fallout 3, and Deus Ex - except running on an incredible next gen engine that never drops below 60 FPS. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/05/05/rage-trailer-has-spider-sentries-and-kickable-turrets/

    Deus Ex - Eyefinity and DX11 support

    It seems like Eidos is bending over backwards to give PC gamers everything they have ever asked for in a game. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/05/05/deus-ex-human-revolution-will-support-directx11-3d-and-amd-eyefinity/ I wonder what the price will be? If this comes in at $49.99 it will be the...

    ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard - which SLI bridge do I need?

    Hi, I have an ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard, and have a 1000 watt PSU, and a single GTX 480. I'm now thinking about buying a second GTX 480, since the prices are now approaching the $300 mark. What I can't figure out is which SLI bridge I need to purchase. I don't presently have one, and...

    Which Mass Effect 2 DLC is the best?

    I returned to Mass Effect 2 this weekend, and was surprised to discover that I had only played 12 hours of it. I was also surprised at how good it is. It looks great and runs great. That nightclub, The Afterlife, is one damned impressive place. Anyway, I'm really into this now, and was...

    Anybody here ever modify Mass Effect 2's FOV?

    I googled this problem, but nothing is really spelled out. It seems that people have been able to do it though. The chief complaint seems to be that the cutscenes are ruined - but that doesn't worry me too much.

    Is nobody playing the PC version of Brotherhood?

    Spooky. No mention of this title on the PC. Somebody here must be playing it? I was forced to hold off on this one due to having just bought Dragon Age 2, Shogun 2, Crysis 2, and the excellent Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition for two dollars. But it's right up there at the top of...

    Heroes of Might and Magic VI

    Does anybody here know anything about this? Chiefly, I'm wondering if this game is anything like Disciples 3? I enjoyed my first six hours with Disciples 3 - but damn is it ever shallow. People said to me, play King's Bounty - alas, for right or wrong, I can't get past the art direction...

    Do PC games upscale?

    I believe that the default setting for ARMA 2 is an image that's upscaled, and that you can disable this in the options menu? So the question: Do other titles play this trick as well, but not provide an option to view the game as a non-upscaled image? The reason I ask: I just bought a monitor...
