I don't know if this is intentional or not but having just created a new list I noticed that it instantaneously received 1/1 vote. So unless some weirdo is watching my page 24/7 waiting to vote on new lists as I create them then this appears to be a minor bug.

I bought the game back in the day so have the original retail disc. I've played it several times by now. I just recently played it on impossible difficulty (the hardest) leaning towards the military method of standard guns etc. I've also played navy and psi methods but not recently. I think the one I had most fun with was using psi powers (just my personal preference). There's some pretty damn cool powers when you look. I think the one I had most fun with was invisibility.

In my most recent playthrough I took the opportunity of installing some mods that improve graphics and audio a little.

http://www.systemshock.org/ is a good starting point for that kind of stuff.

Thanks, I'll remember to try that next time but here's hoping I won't need to.

Thanks. Whatever you did, it's now showing up in the search bar.

I created a new game page (Lumber Island) yesterday but I have to see it appear in the search drop-down list when I type it out. Is this a known issue? Will it eventually appear because of delays in the system?

I was going to add it to one of my lists but am currently unable to because the search function doesn't acknowledge its existence.

None of this matters. Not to me anyway. The quality of the final product is what really matters. Is the game any good? Studios have internal struggles all the time and I could not care less about it in terms of the quality of the game. Let them sort it out behind closed doors. Seems like the sort of news you should report as an interesting retrospective long after the game's release. Not shit on it before it comes out.

I love using the lists but it's just a broken mess at the moment. Many others have already mentioned this but I'll add my voice.

I can now move or remove existing items in a list.

• Unable to add new items to an existing list. This is despite the fact that a green bar appears at the top stating "List Updated" after pressing "Save My List".

Lists are broken for me too.

• Can't re-order existing items.
• Can't remove items.
• Used to use basic html code to insert links into an individual item's description. This also no longer works.

Saving up isn't an option unfortunately because I am unemployed at the moment. I know that the motherboard is not as young as it used to be but it's still very functional and I'm not interested in (and certainly can't afford) upgrading the hardware. I'm not yearning for a faster PC, simply one that can continue to play new games coming out.

Catastrophic hard drive failure isn't a concern as the boot partition is backed up and I have a few spare hard drives knocking around should I need to restore the install to another hard drive. Worst case scenario: I re-install from scratch with the original Windows disc. I back up partitions for convenience and as a time-saver more than anything. It's nice to be able to restore a reasonably up-to-date Windows install with all its software and tweaks intact in a short space of time instead of spending a long time manually re-installing and updating everything.

If the dubious interface choices in Windows 8 was the only issue I had, it would not put me off getting it. I would just get to used to it over time. The PC it would have gone into is literally for gaming (usually via Steam, gog.com or retail discs) and nothing else. I have another PC that I use for everything else (browsing, music, video, etc.). I appreciate the points you make about how Windows 8 falls short with its interface though.

The more I think about it, the more that getting Windows 7 is the viable option for me.

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone, you're awesome.

I would never recommend upgrading a functional machine either but the main reason for upgrading is to play games that don't support XP. Apologies if that wasn't clear in my original post.

As for hardware, I have an Abit IN9 32X-MAX motherboard that uses the nVidia 680i chipset. I've looked up the nForce drivers on nVidia's site but no Win8 drivers are listed which isn't a great surprise but makes me seriously doubt that I will even get Win8 now. Not much point if there are no drivers to properly support the motherboard. They do have Win7 drivers though. I guess I will use the gift card for something else and get Win7 at some point instead.

Thanks for the response, I don't know why hardware drivers didn't occur to me. I'm glad you put that thought in my head. I would not have been happy had I bought Win8 only to find it didn't like my motherboard.
