    The Witcher 2? Skyrim?

    Maybe Alan Wake next week?
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Recommend me some games

    Have you played Homefront, single player is decent blast and the multiplayer is actually fun.

    Kingdoms of Amalur has just come out and is a pretty good hack and slash type RPG, Alan Wake is available on 16th on Steam according to the store page.

    Re: Recommend me some games

    Another vote for Skyrim, great fun. Also I am playing Fallout3 atm which I hadn't got around to playing until now, seems very good.

    Amnesia is good, very atmospheric and creepy, and if you want a change, a recommended recent adventure game is The Book of Unwritten Tales, clever puzzles, and entertaining gameplay.

    For a crack at a Tribes game its alright, its not, however Tribes 2 or Tribes 2 classic. A massive step backwards, the game is nowhere near ready to be used for the old ladder games to be played on it etc :/ Decent Tribes FPS update, toss for competitive play which is how most the Tribes community played the previous games.

    Played Crysis2 already - what a waste of time! Portal Mass effect - story was good but combat system ( choose what ammo from this menu during fight ) , Fallout gfx , Borderlands gfx Metro2033 nahhh

    Thanks! Homefront does look appealing.

    Has anyone tried NFS The Run ?

    Ohho.. have never played GRAW! APB reloaded also looks good. Anyone played these?

    Re: Recommend me some games

    Dont think that NFS the Run is to great, borrowed it from a friend on PS3, just seems to be missing something. Played it for a few hours then it just got put to one side until he wanted it back.

    If you want a NFS game I would suggest either Hot Pursuit, Shift series or Most Wanted.

    If you have Origin they have a sale on at the minute, all shooters.

    Things like MoH which is REALLY good and Bulletstorm which is also excellent for under a tenner. Played through both of these more than once and enjoy them, love the humour in Bulletstorm.

    I picked up MoH Airborne for £2.50 to replace my 360 copy.

    APB is rubbish.

    Have you played BF3?

    What about Red Faction Armageddon, Deus Ex 3?
    Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.

    Re: Recommend me some games

    Mass Effect 2 fixed the inventory system and tweaked the combat so that might still be worth a look. If you're after a single player FPS BF3 wouldn't be my first choice tbh, Bad Company 2 was more enjoyable in that regard (for me at least) other than that sticking to FPS's have you played any of the STALKER games? Red Orchestra 2? Maybe even Rage?

    As far as NFS games go I'm with Ferral, I wouldn't bother with The Run either. Personally Hot Pursuit is by far my favourite recent NFS title

    I read that one of the recent James Bond games was pretty good. Anyone know which one it was? Bloodstone, was it ?

    Have you even seen the game under DX11 with the custom high resolution pack from this chap:

    http://maldotex.blogspot.com/

    I played through the game again recently with my HD5850 1GB. Framerates are much smoother and the game now looks fantastic.

    Mass Effect 2 has an entirely different combat system.

    TBH,I usually don't care either way when it comes to games, as one mans meat is another ones poison, but since you had the time to add puke tags to only my answer, I thought I would go to the effort too.

    So basically you want a walled in,linear game with no story line,no scale,no decent art direction and no atmosphere and looks crap.

    SO










    Plus More










    For posterity back at you.
