I currently use this one....

Love it, love it, love it. I think it's been replaced by a 27" version now though. Cost me around the £250 mark back in December.

Would you class that as a 'guilty pleasure' though? Sure, it's an old game - but it's straight from the Civ stable. It's a cracking game in its own right. :)
D.
That was crazy that. Surely they could have allowed it to work with previous saves? I never completed the game purely for that reason. Unstable at buggy on first release, I didn't want to put time into it and then find that a patch update killed my saved games.

Looks like a few Play Traders have got new ones in at a respectable price...

The Red Alert series went so off of the rails for me, it was untrue. That last one they made with stupid Russian airships and what looked like Chinese men with hats on coming out of the ground? :S I know it was never meant to be a 'serious' RTS - but it felt like playing an alternative...
Really? Please tell me you have some of these babies.......? :cool:

Do you like IL-46 Sturmovik and Lock-On as well?

Interesting viewpoints in this thread. I never really 'got' Supreme Commander and I tried - I really did. I even tried it again when I got the dual monitors, thinking that would make me like the game more with the map off to the right screen. It never did. I remember the original likes of Total...
I know - see below!!!
FFS! I've just bought my first DLC for it! SHHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!! - I'm a bloody anorak! No I'm an old man! Worse - I feel like an old man who's also a bloody anorak!!!
Next I'll be checking out timetables for the Manchester Piccadilly to Plymouth train service...
Now that was EPIC. I had the Deluxe version, myself. :) The trouble is, it was a piece of piss to make money. Build one airport at one side of the map. Build a second airport at the other side of the map and see the £££££ roll in.
Still, it was a great game doing over the computer opposition...
Lol! I quite liked the idea of getting a huge, hulking diesel train up and down some American terrain - but then I also noticed you could do the First Trains' Oxford to Reading run. Erm, I don't think so.
D.
This is so, so, SO wrong. Why on earth would you want to have a train simulator on your PC?
Erm, because it's strangely, bizarrely and compellingly addictive...:o
Lol!....:cool:
I never had a train set or anything like it as a kid. It never...
Chaos Rising is already pre-ordered for me. Loved DoW2 - even if your units did get a little uber-powerful at the end and made the finale a bit of a walk-over.
C&C3 was great too. Hopefully C&C4 will uphold the tradition. :approve:

Does make me laugh at at how quickly these unlocks are being achieved. In Battlefield 2142, I've clocked in 280+ hours, but still haven't got everything.
Must be a COD influence that in the game design. "I WANT EVERYTHING AND I WANT IT NOW, DAMMIT!" ;)

Not sure how that .50 plays online, but it was a bit 'meh' for me in the single player campaign. I much preferred the T88-S - even without the scope. The simple red dot was more than good enough. :)

The boot time is really impressive - even when shutdown. Whenever I use the MB, I always do the full shutdown once I've finished with it. Long and firm believer of having things on when you use them and off when you're not. None of this standby/hibernation crap. ;)
I got one 'built' on their...
^^^ that is pure Battlefield at its best. Capturing and holding a point with a decent group is part of the appeal - for both sides, imo. You either work together with the tank and defend it on foot as it in turn defends you - or as the other team, you attempt to crack the nut that is that tank...
^^^ - I hope that's so true. When I get around to going online, I hope it's more squad-play focused than COD.
Having had a quick look at the unlocks, I don't detect much of the bullshit unlocks of COD in there, either? That said, the engineer class looks a little weak - even with the AT...
ROFL - anyone having issues with PB and Win7? Manually downloaded the latest version of PB - added BC2 as a game to the update list - updated it - ran BC2 and even on non-PB enabled games, I'm still booted for a PB error.
Great, eh? Sack it. I didn't even want to go online anyway.... ;)

Just finished the single player campaign a few minutes ago. Very good game throughout, I thought - the dialogue typically was funny and quite witty. I laughed at that point where they said something like ".....if we don't...
