I thought the weapons in Doom3 were pretty accurate, especially the Plasma Rifle. The machinegun was decent and the chaingun was OK. The shotgun seemed to be the most useful, though no long-ranged accuracy there. My semi-recent favorite would have to be the Paratrooper Rifle from Return to...

The original? Undoubtedly revolutionary in its time, and it was my first experience with a truly emersive PC game. Two was a solid follow up and had some nice additions. Three, once again, set the standard for everything in its day. Four and Prophecy, well, I truly enjoyed them, but I'd have to...

True enough. Polygon counts and FF flicks aside, the game looks great, period.

Do you think consoles and their titles are taking an appreciable bite out of the PC gaming market? I hope that isn't too stupid of a question. I've learned that you work at a software retailer (from bouncing around the boards), so I'm sure your insight is more accurate than mine. However, I've...

Another option: Find an older, used PC that will work with the DOS disks. I first played WC3 on a Pentium 133 with Windows 95 probably 10 years ago. I recently bought a PII 400, wiped the HD, installed WIndows 98SE, loaded WC3, and it worked fine. It might sound like a lot of trouble at first...

Why yes.....yes it was. I'm glad to see I'm not the only guy out there who got some enjoyment out of flying the Scimitar!

That is exactly how I felt when I found out that Rogue Squadron II and III were not offered for the PC. The first one was a great PC game. Then again, I did go out and buy a Gamecube just so I could play them.

I prefer the first season irreverance of Beavis and Butthead. The "rough" characters, the then cutting-edged dialogue, the uniqueness of the show, and Mike Judge's willingness to take it on the chin when attacked by the Thought Police. It may seem like old hat now, but B&B was revolutionary in...

I "upgraded" to a new Samsung/Verizon phone 2 days ago. It is a digital/analog unit and it gets reception at my house out in the sticks whereas my nearly dead 6 year old analog phone would not. For $40 a month (the cheapest plan they offered) you get 400 minutes and free long distance on the...

Now that is funny. :D

Four, huh? I didn't own an Atari 2600 until I was 14. I first played Wing Commander when I was 25, on a brand new Tandy 386SX 25. I guess that makes me a Senior Citizen around here. :cool:

Eh, to each his own, I guess. I hadn't played a good FPS for a couple of years when I got Half-Life. I'd give it high marks. The game play was smooth, the story was interesting enough, and the graphics were great- it really felt like you were running around out in open space in places, unlike...

Negative. She's a hotty.

Hmmm.....I guess I can understand why Valve is being extra careful. They might be a touch paranoid after everything they went through to get this thing to print! I'm going to wait a while before going full-bore into the game, until some of the interest and hype starts to die down. Besides, I...

I know how you feel. I had to make many upgrades to my PC for Doom3. But, having done that, it should be good to go for a while.....I hope. The system requirements for Half-Life 2 don't appear to be too demanding either.

Are many of you looking forward to the impending release? I thought the first one was really good, best FPS I'd played in a long time.:D

And Han with lines about dirty hands!

Wow. It's been so long since I've played WC IV that I'd forgotten what the Kilrathi from that game looked like. :(

No, you didn't miss anything. Episode II was pretty good, better I think than most people will admit. Sure, Lucas' "slapstick" humor with Jar-Jar in Episode I and with 3PO in Episode II were enough to make me cringe in places- I absolutely hated that- but I look at Episode II's reception kind of...

Hmmmm.....You have plenty of processing power to run Windows XP so that isn't it. To find out how much RAM you have go to Start-My Computer-View System Information. RAM will be displayed near the bottom of the window. Sometimes slicking the drive before installing a new OS is the best way to...
