The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
If you aren't playing New Vegas with mods you are, in fact, doing something wrong. It's a little jaggy because of how Steam handles/converts screenshots. I need to use Snag-It instead. Did console versions of MNC get the summer skins? Because they are the best thing in MNC.
I haven't finished it yet, but so far, if I were to sum it up in a few words - "Bioshock but bad". It's definitely not awful; but to me, it just seems like the developers weren't all that passionate about creating the game.
As a result, the game feels hollow - the characters aren't interesting enough for me to really care about, the visual design is unremarkable (and very brown/murky), the puzzle mechanics seem squandered and there's just generally no subtlety (the game literally tells you what's going to happen by writing it on the wall).
Basically, if you're considering playing it, then consider playing another linear sci-fi shooter instead.

Thanks for the info, all i need to know. I won't play it sounds like a mediocre experience i can do without.
No intros needed for this one. Just recently started playing it, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Planning to go into MP once I'm done with the campaign. Click to embiggen!
Sorry for varying resolutions in advance. Only got my new monitor recently :) Mostly been playing Warband, and the screens are from the Vikingr mod, which as well as adding awesome multiplayer and nice items etc, improves the graphics a load. O.o Tried playing some Oblivion, too. Might add some Dust or minecraft screens later. :) EDIT: Oh man I suck at adding images, gonna redo em now.
I was one of the few to notice the flanking cavalry, like it made much difference. ¬¬ Found this horse and just had to stop fighting. How the hell did it get there? Started Oblivion again, I thiiiink this is Anvil, but I'm naff with town names. Without any mods I was pleased with the graphics of this, the recent comparison shots to Skyrim are unfair IMO.
@Mr_Skeleton: Phew, I always get it mixed up with Bravil, ending in vil and being next to the sea n all. Mmhm. Seems silly people comparing it to Skyrim, the differences are nowhere near enough considering how old Oblivion is...but that's cause Oblivion looks fantastic :) I will completely flood this thread with Skyrim when it's launched, haha. Somebody post screens of Mirrors Edge! I always drool over that game, still need to get it...those colours :O
EDIT: Thanks Skeleton, that game is so pretty :( Ugh screw it I'm getting it on Wednesday :P
I started playing Bulletstorm today. That is one very pretty game. I think I'm about over a third of the way through (yes, it's not too long), but this game is really good.
It's a shame they messed up their marketing so badly, because everyone dismissed the game as being nothing but a crass juvenile shooter that's all about nutshots, asshole-shots and dicktits. And that includes myself, considering I would never have even bought the game had I not found a copy for $20. Turns out it's really just a fun shooter that doesn't take itself seriously, with a few interesting elements and some likable funny characters. It is nothing like you would have expected it to be based on those trailers they had out for it.
@SlasherMan: I've nearly beaten the game, the thing that really draws me to it is the point system. It's so much fun to try for really high "combos". Something fun to do is, leash, spartan kick, run closer, spartan kick, run closer, spartan kick, headshot. I think that was my longest one
@Mikemcn: Uhm, multiplayer only...limits some of the flaws with the original game like jumping and hitting, adds crouching...reduces horse health. Lots of fixes and technical additions, overhauled graphics, and lots of items and new armour for the factions...Vikings, Saxons, Normans, Rus....a few more I'm not sure. There's also limits on classes, with flag bearers, war horns...just a really cool feel to the battlefield. :)
I tend to use these for my wallpaper. I had a non gasmask version for the second, but I got rid of it. Something about the outline from the mask just makes look a lot better. I don't know how you could take a bad screenshot of this game.
Yeah, I was really happy the way that game ended. Totally stoked for next one.

is it me or do these look like scenes from the labyrinth with david bowie ?
Going through some DA2 again on hard cause I'm adamant that this game is better than what I got out of it on the first playthrough. Hopefully hard will be a challange.
Been playing some Red Orchestra 2 Beta. I knew this game wasn't going to be the next Crysis, but some of the texture quality is appauling, about 8 years out of date. It's bizarre cause some of the texture work is great but others are terrible. Fun game though.
Very artsy fartsy, but looks cool Really loved the water reflections and lighting in this small room Sexy legs Bad way to end your day. Really cool details when you look up close The only good gangbanger is a knocked out gangbanger First thought in my head when entering this room was Blade Runner High-Tech thugs This game is filled with atmosphere Took me back to Deus Ex Ladies of the night, you gotta have those in your game
@Seedofpower: Well no that's the beauty of it! Here http://openra.res0l.net/ Just a quick download and its ready to go, although you'll have to do a bit of tinkering for the online. It's more of a re-envisioning than a mod, I suppose...you can queue units!
At the chance of spamming this thread with zombie filled good (or bad)-ness.. I took a few snaps of Dead Island early on. Graphics options are pretty limited.
Hurling your baseball bat at an explosive barrel.. effectiveFury mode = Unlimited Knives = Unlimited FunTF2 Spy eat your heart outStick with nails meet bikini clad zombieI found him basking in a pool of his friends blood...awesomeSeems to be some decent verticality to the level designDid I mention.. throwing knives are awesome?!
At one point in the game you're told by franklin prichard that once you call for an elevator you're going to get bumrushed by a shitload of guards. The first time I played the game I went into this guns blazing, barely lived. Second playthrough I used my brains and blocked all of the doors with soda machines from the building lol most boring 3 minutes ever. Nobody could get into the room. LOLOLOLOL
A few more Hard Reset screens. Sigh, I hate uploading stuff here - it only sometimes seems to work >_>
The cement mixer just moments before its untimely death :( Robots with buzzsaws :oMove along; nothing to see here...Suddenly, robots! Another shot of the upgrade station.
Recently got the Morrowind Sound and Graphics Overhaul + Morrowind Graphics Extender to work on my computer. It's an old-ass computer, but it's an older-ass game, not the prettiest screenshots I've seen of TES3, but I think they turned out awesome:

The thing that strikes me the most is how small Vvardenfell actually is, once the low draw-distance fog is removed. Still a phenomenal game, though.
