"Orange Box was on his list for games he already OWNS.  Borderlands is pretty good.  if you're looking for something "casual", Braid is quite fun albeit hard >_< Trine is quite fun as well and both are nice platformers.  i guess if you have 60-80 hours of free time, you can get Dragon ...

  • mthe1337one replied to the topic This graphics card a good deal? in the PC board.
    +1 to AnimeZero's newegg link.  alot of those cards will do their job well for gaming.  i personally own a geforce 9600 GSO (branded EVGA though) and it plays games quite well in spite of it being considered a budget card...although now with games like Dragon Age Origins, the card is now starting to show it's age.

  • mthe1337one replied to the topic horror games in the PC board.
    if i recall, there were a good amount of Silent Hill games that were released on PC.  that latest one, Silent Hill Homecoming, was ported to PC as well.  i've yet to try out a single SH game though, but those might be good options for you.

  • o lawd.  the frying pan is awesome.  i love the clanging sound effect when you hit a zombie.  but yeah when you get to expert mode, you'll probably might want to keep a pistol on-hand to "snipe" with it.  it's just way too risky using a melee weapon and getting close to zombies unless you have a chainsaw...which we've all yet to experience.

  • mthe1337one replied to the topic Will the demo expire? in the Left 4 Dead 2 board.
    as i understand it, the demo is live for EVERYONE now.  just play it, devise your OWN review of the game, buy if you like...pass up if you don't. although yes i do agree that people who aren't already planning on buying the game are getting screwed over, specifically XBOX Live users who AREN'T gold members.

  • mthe1337one replied to the topic Jeff was right!!! in the Modern Warfare 2 board.
    pc gamers having a free ride? -_- considering the PC hardcore audience build their own gaming PC's with video cards alone that cost just as much as a next-gen console, i hardly think PC gamers will want to have the urge to pay console-based prices for games we want.  yes game development does grow, but look at how successful Valve's games are; priced at the typical 49.99USD pc game price ...

  • it's kinda funny too, because i was having an extremely hard time deciding between L4D2 and MW2.  as of yesterday i preordered L4D2, and i suppose i have to thank Activision for making that decision easy.  i'll wait until MW2 on pc becomes a budget title, cuz there's no way in hell i'm paying 60 beans for what is essentially a single player campaign experience now that multiplayer is gimped.

  • any of you guys/gals planning on getting this on PC?  i'm curious how the online is.

  • mthe1337one replied to the topic Good MW2 News for PC Users in the Modern Warfare 2 board.
    well i guess with announcements like this, that means Steam might have one of those weekend deals where one can purchase MW1 on the cheap when MW2 comes up.  thanks for the heads-up.  on the other hand, i'm one of those freaks that still wants a physical copy of a game =P regardless, still not getting this due to crippled multiplayer (aka no ded. servers)
    2 weeks, 5 days ago
  • well...activision has officially crippled the multiplayer portion of the game.  i was MORE than willing to stomach the 10USD price increase for MW2, but lack of ded. server support is a major buzzkill.  announcements like that will make people even MORE tempted to pirate because the only thing to look forward to, at this point, is just the single player experience...and a single-player campaign sure isn't a reason to cough ...

  • kinda sad how CoD started out as a PC-exclusive AND actually sold well to boot.  now activision's just pissing off the pc audience that made the franchise popular to begin with.

  • mthe1337one replied to the topic We already need quadcore to run RE5? in the PC board.
    i'm almost certain my comp can handle RE5...just that my budget vidcard can't.  otherwise, dual-core shouldn't really be an issue.  i thought quad-core was only needed if you wanted to play the game with that new-fangled stereoscopic 3D stuff.  don't quote me on that though.

anyone else getting fed up with all this BS with apple claiming they can overtake the DS/PSP?  don't get me wrong...after having had a chance to play around with my friend's jailbroken Ipod Touch, it seems like it would work as the "next generation" of casual gaming; what with the whole tilt sensor doohickey.  it's commendable that there is a considerable user-base of iphone/touch users who actually download games for their multitasking portable, but what percentage of games are actually FUN on the system?

PSP:
- god of war chains of olympus
- crisis core ff7
- dj max fever (along with the original korean imports)
- lumines 1 and 2
- patapon 1 and 2
- daxter
- and now the upcoming assassin's creed, motorstorm, little big planet, rock band portable

all the above being examples of games that will never be pulled off on an iphone/touch unless drastically changed or dumbed-down.

i won't even attempt to list all the good games that are available on DS.  suffice it to say, there's a chance some DS games could possibly be pulled off on an iphone/touch...but the fact that the iphone/touch doesn't have a d-pad or face buttons will be it's downfall IF apple ever considers going one on one against 2 portable gaming systems that have made their mark on the whole gaming community.

-_-

the DSL's current d-pad was a MAJOR downgrade from the regular DS's larger, more tactile, d-pad.

well let me put this this way...there aren't too many things in the world that can compare to the awe-inspiring nature of Chuck Norris, BUT GiantBomb.com is indeed one of the few that comes close.
