The Beauty of Valve and Steam Community, also I bet these guys don't get banned for modifying the games
Peggle and Plant Vs Zombie are really addictive
Even got my Parents addicted to them
I Think Forza is good but nothing in comparison to rFactor.
Bring on Gran Turismo 5
Fallout 3 has nothing to show Zelda
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
These are some of the best games ever and no CoD: MW2, GTA IV, U2: AT or Halo can match them for story and gameplay
Fallout is a poisonous drop of water in comparison to Zelda's Golden sea

Can you see the difference, Retail is killing gaming because of all the middle men, Di...
PC games are cheaper than Consoles games because on PC the Developer/ Publisher does not have to pay royalties to Microsoft, Nintendo or Sony.
On PC there is no Royalties Besides a small fee for Steam
Also the Developer/ Publishers would get more money from retails
I would Bet that If EA was only to release 100,000 Copies of Army of Two on each platform (PS3, 360, Wii and PC) PC would be the most profitable as they would not have to pay royalties
this game does not show the benefits of using DX11 in games development.
they all look very similar, also aerial shots don't help
The difference between the PC and 360 version is Night and Day.
A Blind man would say PC any day.
Also I have got the game and played the hell out of it.
This does not looked maxed also.
When I play with maxed setting at 1920 by 1080 with 16x Qaa forced by Nvidia control panel the difference between My Spec and the 360 version is poles or worlds apart
PC is more cost effective than Console guys, I became a PC gamer in the end of 2007 a...
Have to say I personally hated L4D but L4D 2 has had hours out of me and I have only touched MW2 for 2 hours since getting L4D 2 on Tuesday Via steam
I have never played a game as long as TF2, May be only GT4 has got more game time out of me.
TF2 PC one of the great online experiences ever
TF2 PC only were you can class the updates as a game overhaul (come on valve could have just made all the content as PDLC (Pay) or called the updates as TF3)
No surprise, I became a PC gamer at the end of november 2007 mainly because of Crysis but after purchasing TF2 on Disc Steam has been my home, I have purchased over 60 games on steam in less than 2 years.
Sony and Toshiba don't have the rights or the technology to manufacture the Cell B.E. so if IBM does discontinue the Cell then PS3 can't be made once stocks deplete
The Cell B.E. was created for networking and compression, Sony jumped in for it to have it in the PS3.
IBM has been crippled in recent times by Nvidia Tesla and by AMD, also IMB Roadrunner Servers had AMD opterons to support the Cell B.E.
For example one S1070u Tesla Blade by Nvidia with only 4 processors was more powerful than 7 or 8 blades which contained 14/16 Cell B.E. and 28/32 AMD opterons.
If IBM servers were failing to make money of course they w...
European Gamers getting ripped again.
US price for HD 5970 is around $600 which converts to £360
but if you purchased a HD5970 is UK its £510 which converts to $850
I Would happily pay for services like cross game chat and party system on PSN.
If Games for Windows Live/ Xbox Live did not have party, cross game chat and cross platform chat I would not pay but it does.
Hopefully Features that gamers want, not like picture and theme updates after all its a "video Game Console"
Mega lol
PS2 brasil
Brasilian Reais Dollar $799.00
Converted to GBP and USD
Great British Pound £276.51
United States Dollar $459.98
Its crazy, they only got PS2 today and they are paying more than a PS3.
Sony are Milking the profits now.
Nvidia are missing it at the moment but I would expected a December or January release for Fermi with the main stream and low end card coming Q2/Q3 2010.
Really I'm not taking any specs into consideration atm on paper ATi has been better for year, yet in game Nvidia usually take the cake.
My next upgrade will be Evergreen or Fermi
Its about price to performance and features and atm ATi has 2 of them.
very surprised ATi have release a Dual Chip card so soddenly, I already known of its existence but still compared to 4870 and 4870x2 releases. the 5870 and 5970 within 1 month, there is only 2 reasons for this move IMHO
1. they are getting very confident
2. they really fear Nvidia Fermi
Wal-Mart to sell PS3 on Friday as Door stoppers?!!!!
I joke, I joke.
Always better to get a game with the console
I have purchased 65 games in less than 2 years.
Love Valve and Steam, Gabe what a God
