Did you like Underworld? I heard the combat was a dog but my brother told me that the camera made it virtually unplayable? Yet on youtube it looks pretty awesome and I was thinking about getting it as it follows on from the story in the original? I am guessing Anniversary will never be as good...

Funnily enough I was thinking of getting Anniversary on Steam or maybe used on 360 just for a laugh given that I loved the original. What is crap about it? My brother said the graphics were not particularly amazing but had been improved -I mean it is at least as good as a HD collection would...

I think it is going to be interesting for the next generation of consoles. They are constrained by the maximum physical size of the casing, constrained by the permissible noise levels from the cooling and even with manufacturer subsidies they are heavily constrained in terms of cost. Players...

Having watched more videos I have to change my tune on this. I think with today's production costs the type of Tomb Raider we liked doesn't appeal to a large enough audience to be profitable these days. So this new game is NOT Tomb Raider, it has the name but that is where the similarity ends...

Yeah that is super impressive. Wondering when the first games will appear.

I would like a quality title to fill the void left by the PGR games. You know what I mean - a kind of semi serious game that fits in between a heavy grindy sim like Forza and the more arcade-like titles like NFS etc. Many games have tried to fill that void but they have all fallen short. It...

I loved Halo Reach, nothing original about it but the story, cut scenes and music were epic. Quite emotional in places. Played the original when it came out and replayed the Anniversary Edition recently as well and the game play is really tight. Not original but the core of the game is very...

As I remember you kill those guys and then you get a mini boss guy on top of a roof - one of those guys with a big gun and a helmet. You kill all the bad guys and kill that mini boss quickly before the time runs out and then you get a cut scene. There are some pills on that level. IIRC you...

Did you even bother reading my post? I think you are in danger of coming across as a fan boy - you don't have to be greatful for anything, you are consumer buying a product so no need for you to blindly defend it. Also please enough with the deliberate miss-quoting and strawman attacking...

Pretty damn poor IN PLACES. Quoting out of context there mate. There are a number of points in the game like the boat chase sequence for example where for me the graphics are not consistent with the quality on other levels. The detail levels have been noticeably knocked down a few notches...

I play with tesselation on "very high" and I only have a 580 and currently have the stock profile for my CPU loaded yet it runs silk smooth. Everything else is on the maximum settings bar MSAA which is on 4x. I'd have thought the 680 should be absolutely cruising. Do you have the latest driver...

Love the first one as it was more about exploration and puzzle solving. Felt like you were discovering tombs and stuff where no human had been for thousands of years and getting in them was hard as you had to look for cracks on walls and figure out if you can reach them by jumping etc and then...

I really enjoyed this game, awesome soundtrack, loved the story and especially Max Payne himself. Some great voice acting and scripts. I also use the 360 pad for this on PC. I only play single player though so I play what is most fun (rumble, using TV, sitting back from screen) rather than what...

Currently waiting for the PC release. Undecided yet so interested to hear how the console boys found the single player campaign. I like easy games tbh and I like the "easy" mode to actually be easy so any info on that would be great. I played the recon games on the original Xbox but the only...

If it were regular maintenance it would be done in the early hours. Even when servers need an urgent reboot or shut down they post messages warning you from 15 minutes in advance which in this case they didn't. This is another major screw up it seems.

Sunday 20th at 13:55, 5 days after release and I cannot log in and play again because of error 37...

I've been giving it a go, playing a Monk at the moment. I'd say it is OK. It is a polished and competent game but it is a dated although I suppose the hardcore Diablo fans will like it because it is true to the originals? I mentioned before that it looks like an indie game from Steam and I...

Tacking on some multiplayer options that I could quiet happily shove in the bin and live without doesn't cut it for me. WoW is fully "online" to its core and I know it well, but for me this Diablo is a totally different kettle of fish. This is a single player game with a coop mode and people...

I have plenty of other games to be getting on with and to be honest now that Diablo is out I really don't care so much to play it. I was interested a year ago when I signed up for it but not now. I tried briefly to log in when I got home from work but it wasn't having it and I barely want to...

Well worth the money - now we can play our Xbox conversions at 2000fps instead 1950fps. Seriously though it is a really nice bit of kit but yeah I'd go for a single 680 or take the SLI route. Kind of weird really; with my own money I'd never buy the 690 and if I won the lottery it still...

I thought the whole point was that they are digital and so you either get a perfect picture or no picture at all? Therefore it doesn't matter if you get one made from paper and string at Poundland or a diamond plated carbon fibre model from Harrods.

Never played a Diablo game before. I am getting it for free as a part of that deal from subscribing to WoW. I hope it isn't as repetitive and RNG based as that game... Starting with low expectations so I will see if I get hooked or not.

Unfortunately my area is one of the last to be upgraded to 100mb. Bit annoying really as we are quite a big city. Think it won't be til the end of the year ffs. Still I will give Virgin 10/10 for stability and reliability. I never DC in games and always have good latency.

Re: PS3 - seriously s**t. I played the demo of Killzone 3 in 3D. One of the worse implementations of 3D I have ever experienced aside from maybe the most recent Resistance game. Wipeout and GT5 were also dreadful. Best ever implementation of 3D in an FPS was the Halo CE anniversary edition...

Got a 580 at the moment and gonna hold off for a bit. I will wait for the new CPU's to come out and do a more comprehensive system upgrade. Maybe wait for the 680 to drop in price a bit too. Think maybe late summer. I'd normally be one to get the latest stuff but it doesn't seem worth it. I can...

We all know that PC games are being held back by consoles. On the one hand games are now so expensive to develop that cutting edge titles in particular need to be multiformat to pay for themselves. That leads to games being designed down to fit the most popular platforms. PC gamers themselves...

The Dreamcast was a fantastic console. Unfortunately I believe it was destroyed by dumb consumers and Sony's usual deceitful marketing ploys. Sony basically did their usual trick of posting fake screenshots and absolutely ridiculous claims as to what the Playstation 2 would be capable of and...

Can also confirm no difference. The latest trick is that they try to get you to buy an expensive cable by talking about 3D compatibility. That is a load of old cobblers too as I have the cheapy HDMI cable I got back with my first HD box (not during the last World Cup but then one before...

Well impressed - no screen tearing or frame rates issues cough GT5 cough and the cars feel nice and weighty. I also like the change they made with the braking such that it is easy to find that biting point when it is about to lock up. Most impressive of all though for me are the engine...
