    That game looks amazing, it's making me think long and hard about going back to a Windows based machine.

    That was an unfortunate ground loop problem we had at the event. It was on all the finals coverage too but I had a good go at filtering it out

    This wont happen again (fingers crossed)

    I don't play games online so I don't really know how good graphics are in general for online gaming, but these don't look anything special to me, I assume single player mode with full dx10 features would look better than this?



    To get an avatar requires you make 500 sensible posts.....yet still people ask so why do I even bother having this here!

    I think the divx compression sucked a lot of the details out of it.

    The levels looks massive though and very destructible

    The first thing I'm doing is killing someone with a tree.
