added a review of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard
Generic shooter with an interesting twist
You take on the role on Matt Hazard a washed up gaming action hero who's career has taken a slid recently. Like all washed up gaming action heroes you now eat and drink too much and stay at home all day watching TV. Suddenly the game developer you work for wants to make another Matt Hazard game and you jump at the chance but not everything is as it appears. It's Hazard Time!
Good Points:
Some laugh out loud moments.
A good mixture of achievements, both easy and hard.
Interesting and unusual story.
Nice selection of weapons.
Cover mechanic.

I'm now officially in the top three of Giantbomb contributors, I thought i'd get some sort of achievement for it but alas nothing..... :(
After playing Call of Duty: World at War for a few minutes I ran slap bang into an invisible wall. I don't know if it's just me but I feel invisible walls are a sign of bad level design. You could get away with it in the days of old because of the severe limitations with game engines but nowadays there's nothing really stopping a level designer putting in a cliff face or an impassable river, anything other than an invisible wall.
I'm running through a deep jungle and then I hit an invisible wall, talk about take you out of the experience, game developers should ban the use of them.
What's everybody elses thoughts?

Overall i'm well impressed with my ATi 4870x2 (now that i've changed the fan speed settings) but the one thing that i'm not so impressed about is the drivers for the card.
I installed Crysis Warhead and on gamer settings with full AF I was getting 21fps. :o I updated the drivers to the latest catalyst 8.8 drivers and the fps doubled. It seems to me that the drivers are awful for the X2 and ATi seriously need to sort them out if they want to keep their lead over Nvidia.

I was struck with a bout of madness when I was buying my new graphics card because I got a 2GB ATI Radeon 4870x2.
The difference in frame rate between my old Geforce 8800GTX and this new 4870x2 in some games is astounding.
Stalker Clear Sky - between 90 and 140 fps maxed out,
COD4 - between 110 and 150 fps maxed out,
Painkiller - Between 200 and 300 fps maxed out,
Half life 2 - maxed out reflect world 6xAA 16xAF Outside 140 to 240 fps, inside 250 to 300 fps,
Sin episodes Emergence - maxed out reflect world 4AA 16AF between 130 to 280 fps,
Crysis - maxed out on high, 8xAA 40fps
Oblivion - maxed out with 8xAA between 40 and 100 fps outside.
On the whole i'm quite impressed with it but one thing that isn't so rosy is the fan noise. When the fan is on half speed it's not that much louder than the fan on my 8800GTX but when it hits full speed it's really loud, so much so that I had to turn up the volume on Crysis to be able to hear what they were saying.

I started playing Stalker Clear Sky last night and I was disappointed that my 768MB Geforce 8800 GTX only gave me 21 fps in the Clear Sky base. I started playing the Swamp level and it got to between 30 and 50 fps but i'm still disappointed.
I started to eye up a 1GB Geforce 280 GTX (overclocked) and I would have ordered it while I was at work but the credit card details on the site are wrong. :(
Now it's gotten to the point where i'm not too sure that I should get it, although it's one of the best cards out there at the minute. It's even cheaper than my 8800 GTX was, by about £50 :o
What should I do?

Not as tactical as previous incarnations but still a good shooter
(PC)
The game starts off in Pic des Pyréneés, France with a hostage situation and then promptly moves you into the familiar surroundings of Las Vegas. As soon as you arrive in Las Vegas it is taken over by terrorists (how inconsiderate of them) and panic is widespread. As the story ...
