lol, no.
It's as easy as hooking up a console to a TV.
Just plug in your computer to the power outlet, plug the VGA or DVI or HDMI cable into your HDTV, hook up some speakers, then all you have to do after that is adjust the resolution to 720p or 1080p.
It's not going to use exactly 18GB. They add a couple gigs to be safe.
For example, Far Cry 2 was like 3.16GB installed while the HDD requirements were 12GB of free space.
Not really. An 8600, which is about equivalent to a 7900 which is slightly faster than the PS3's RSX, would've been considered mid- to the lower tier of high-end close to three years ago. Now it's low-end since you can find a performance equivalent for about $60.
If they gave set up specs, they'd be useless without benchmark numbers.
All this article is is simply a comparison of the various graphics presets. Look elsewhere for performance benchmarks.
Excellent move by Sega to put in Steamworks support.
Valve never has DLC that costs money (on the PC, at least...). The movie number has always been four. With five scenes per movie, that makes the total map count twenty, which should last a pretty good amount. And if you ever get tired of those, there will be a ton of user-created content (again, on the PC).
Yeah, there are zombie mods out there for the Goldsrc and Source engines, but Left 4 Dead will be extremely polished. Those mods are fun, but they're not really the most polished games in the world, and there are oftentimes various glitches and bugs that pop up. Left 4 Dead should have none or very little of that, which it should considering its $50 price tag.
TES IV: Oblivion was like this, too.
Fallout 3's DRM is pretty tame compared to the activation-based SecuROM DRM. With Fallout 3, I believe it's simply a CD-check and the so-called "piracy tools" check.
It's also on Steam.
Hmm, decisions, decisions...
(Hint: Steam)
As long as they put out a solid product, I don't mind. Left 4 Dead comes out Nov. 18, so I wouldn't be playing GTA4 anyway. :P
Well, I guess there was some spawn camping, but it wasn't that big a problem. :P
It's more noticeable in World at War.
I do like that the maps are larger, though.
The other front paged story was for the PS3 version. This one is filed under the 360 section, although the PC version also shares the same score.
I just bought L4D on Steam for $45. :D
Well, for one, bolt-action rifles are way underpowered. There isn't really any reason to use them unless you can pull off headshots all the time, but if you can do that you might as well use a semi-automatic rifle. The spawn points are also really strange. I had an enemy spawn right in front of me and blast me in the face with a shotgun. There's also spawn camping, which was never a problem in Call of Duty 4.

Read the third to last paragraph.
Played it for about an hour. It's... not that good.
Wrong.
Call of Duty, CoD:UO, and Call of Duty 2 were great, the first one being a masterpiece. It went downhill with 3.
Hah, Treyarch must have not heard about Left 4 Dead.
They're still going to be appealing to e-sports, so this shouldn't be much of a problem.
