Loaded up Deus Ex again, haven't played it in years. I was wondering if there are any decent mods out there? In particular are there any good graphics mods? Anything else I should get?

Bioshock doesn't hold a candle to SS2. That being said, Bioshock was still a great game IMHO. I agree that it was dumbed down in comparision with SS2, but I try not to compare the two since they are so different. If the game had been called SS3, then yes, I would have been disappointed. I...

I've never bought a card directly from EVGA, so I'm not familiar with their pricing practices. Also, I usually don't buy a card right when it is released, and instead wait for prices to go down a bit. I only have 17 days left to step up from my 8600GTS. My question: what are the odds of the...

19" widescreen, but it looks like I'll have to scratch the 8800GTS off my list if it won't fit.

BTW, in case anyone was curious, STALKER runs surprisingly well on my rig with medium settings, and looks pretty good. Still, I can't wait to get a new card and bump those setting up.

400 watt power supply. That was the listed minimum requirement of the card. Well, hopefully the 8600GTS is single slot, and works with my power supply. I was considering that card originally. Well, thanks for all the help. I guess I learned an important lesson here. I'll build my next...

It's a Gateway. I don't know much about the case and motherboard. All it says is '6-bay micro-BTX case' and 'Intel p965 10/100 motherboard' on the packing slip. I really was thinking of building my own this time. Almost everyone I spoke with recommended that route, but I was afraid I'd screw...

Okay, here's my setup. The existing card has the fan facing up. With the card removed. And here's the 8800GTS. Am I looking at this wrong, or are my slots 'backwards'?

Hmm, I hope you're right. Like I said, I'm not too knowledgeable in this area. I just eyeballed it, and looking at the pics of the 8800GTS and the way my current card sits, it didn't look like it would work. I can take some pics tomorrow to shed some light on my setup.

Aw crap. I was just about to order the 8800GTS, but decided to open up my case on a hunch to make sure I had room for the card. I don't. I only have one free PCIe slot, and it's the top slot. For these oversized cards, you need one spare slot above the card right? I have a couple empty slots...

Nothing fancy: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.83GHz, 1GB DDR2/667. I'll upgrade the RAM at some point this year.

I've got a 19" widescreen, so 1440x900.

I just purchased a new computer and it came with a 7300LE, so I need to upgrade pretty quickly so I can start playing games again. I think my old 5900 actually ran better than this card. Newegg has the EVGA 8800GTS (320MD, not superclocked) for $260 after mail in rebate. I've never spent this...

I wasn't blaming 'Xbox' or any particular person/item/entity/etc. for that crappy game. Also I never claimed Fallout was a pen and paper RPG. I simply said it 'reminds' me of how the Fallout series was ruined. I was making a comparison based on taking an RPG franchise and creating a game of a...

Just got a PS2 for Christmas (yeah, I know I'm several years behind the curve), and I'm looking for a good wireless controller. I saw some $20 controllers at Best Buy, but they looked pretty cheap. They also had a $40 Logitech controller. Please recommend some good options. Also, I'd like...

I agree. Why take a pen and paper (and later console) RPG and turn it into a shooter? Reminds me of the crap they pulled when they took the Fallout series to XBox. I never played the Sega version of Shadowrun, but the one on SNES was good. BTW, speaking of old school RPGs, we need a new...

I was wondering the same thing. I'm a PC gamer, and haven't owned a console since the PS1 first came out. I was interested in one of the next gen consoles, but the prices are too high for my taste. Anyway, I was thinking of checking out the PS2, since some of the game titles seem interesting...

I found that link, and this one too: http://www.strangebedfellows.de/index.php?board=2.0 Seems like there are a lot of mods. My question is, which ones are actually worth downloading.

Haven't played this game in a couple years. Last time I played it, there were some upgraded texture mods, but I remember which ones I used. Anyway, what are all the current 'must have' mods for this excellent game?

My computer can't handle Oblivion, so I was looking for some good old fashioned RPG fun. Anyway I remembered Wizardry VII (it was one of the few games I really enjoyed but I never could finish) and did a search and found they made a Wizardry 8. Is this game any good? I realize it's an older...

Never really got into UT, only played a couple hours, but I still remember Unreal being one of the most impressive games I've played.

I was thinking of playing this old classic again (if I can dig up the disk in my attic). Anyone played this lately, did it run ok on your current system? Also, any must have mods for the single player (like the high-res texture mods for System Shock II)? I haven't been very satisfied w/...

I'll second that. I'm tired of the short (10 hours) games w/ fancy graphics. I want something that emphasizes good gameplay and replayability. I'm also sick of FPS, but I do like FPS w/ RPG elements, like System Shock 2 or Deus Ex (the original, not that POS DX2). I don't play online, so...

The last console I owned was a PS (I'm a PC gamer), but I'm interested in the upcoming consoles. So I have a couple stupid questions: 1. Does anyone make a mouse/keyboard combo for consoles? Is this even possible? As a PC gamer, I've never been able to get used to the little keypad...

Haven't heard much about it, any good? Is it the exact same as the original, except with improved graphics? Also, is there anyway to get this as a separate piece, or do you have to buy the collectors edition?

Don't you mean you basically paid $390 for HL2? ($50x9)-$60=$390. :) BTW, when I was in college, Hastings used to rent PC games. Didn't last too long, but it was a great system because it saved me from buying a lot of games that ended up sucking.

So does the enemy life change apply to the original levels, or just the expansion levels?

Looking for something to pass the time until HL2 gets to the bargin bin. :D Figure a long drawn out RPG is the perfect solution. I looked a Morrowind back when it came out, but I passed on it. Am I missing out? One thing I didn't like when I read the reviews: when you hit a guy, you don't...

I still love to play Fallout2. Just loaded FFVII, that brings back memories. I reloaded System Shock 2 several months ago. That game still looks pretty good, considering its age. Deux Ex is another that has some replay value.

I think I'm going to dust off my PS1 and play FF7 again. BUT now I'm pissed. I had the Versus stragegy guide a long time ago, but I loaned it to a friend after I beat the game. I remember asking him to return the guide several times (so I could play again), and he told me he lent it to...

Damn. How was FF8?

I'm mostly a PC gamer, so I only played FF7 back when I had PS1. I was very impressed with this game. Anyway, I'm in the mood for a good RPG. Which of the other FF games compare to FF7? And which ones are available for PC?

Question about the Soul Cube and Nightmare difficulty. Beat the game on medium difficulty without the mod, decided to play on Nightmare with the mod. Just started the game and I realize I have the soul cube. Is this normal on Nightmare, or is this a result of the mod? Sorry if this has...

I'd play HL1 with the new engine, that sounds like a good idea. I don't do multiplayer, so I could care less about CS or TFC.

So instead of 50 threads a day of "OMFG! HL2/Doom3 is going to r0x0r!!!" You'll see 50 threads a week of "OMFG! HL2/Doom3 DOES r0xor!!!"

I was thinking Bruce Willis in his Die Hard days. Too bad he's a bit old now. I wouldn't mind seeing Vin Diesel in the role. I hate the cheezy characters (Fast&Furious) he usually does, but he has had a few good ones. Oh and ALIENS IS one of the best scifi movies of all time. And just...

Maybe it just needs to be 'broken in' or maybe I just need to get used to it. On a side note, I think the two side buttons might be easier to access if they were a 1/4" lower, and one more button would be great. But at $23 plus shipping it was a great deal....

Just got one of these from Newegg and I got to say the mouse wheel really sucks on this thing. Maybe I'm just not used to it yet, but it seems to be really laggy at times. Sometimes it doesn't seem to work at all until I spin it for about a second or two. Other times it seems to work fine...

Now that you mention it, I got the same treatment. I thought it was because I used my debit card, but the more I think about it, they've never carded me before, so it must be because of the M rating. I guess they're just doing their job, but it seems stupid since I'm 27 and can't remember...
