DEAD!!!!! Real Nice E5200 RETAIL MB/CPU/4GB Ram combo $118.99 shipped.

For us poor folks too far from a Fry's B&M store, this is too good a deal to pass up. I'm in for one. Thanks OP.

Diablo 3 placebo needed

Titan Quest was a cool game, I own it and the expansion. But it was flawed. My problem with it was twofold: It lacked personality. This ranged from the quests and enemies themselves to the equipment to the little things, like the rather bland looking interface buttons/information boxes...

PC Game quality

The upside to the decline in the PC gaming market is that at this point in my life I have other obligations (work, family, etc.) that limit my gaming time. The occasional good release from Blizzard or Sid Meier's studio or some other studio like Bethesda or Valve is typically enough to keep me...

Anyone else remember Ski Free?

I first encountered this game on a Win95 demo computer in a store. Good little game. That was around the time that I played C&C Red Alert and Quake, though, so naturally I had other more "pressing" matters.

Star Wars Galaxies?

I played for a while at launch. The crafting side of things was fantastic, but as it lacked substantial content for the adventurers it was really an incomplete game. Even before the "armageddon" patch (NGE), people were leaving in pretty large numbers.

Blizzard PC Game Bundles on Sale for $30 Shipped Each

I can think of one: LucasArts. Valve aren't quite as bad, but they get pretty good mileage out of their Half-Life games. Nope, eight years. The expansion was released seven years ago, though. Time flies. I'm pretty sure that I saw the Diablo Battle Chest for ~$33 before the sale...

Whats your favourite c&c mission?

I really enjoyed C&C, but the Red Alert missions I remember the most. The later Soviet missions when you get Migs (soften enemy tanks) and the attack helicopters (particularly against enemy artillery units) are really fun to play. I remember using those two air units to chip away at the AI.

It's just one file. Download the new Trinity client and you'll have everything. You can play free for two weeks (you don't need to give them your credit card number, either), so no harm done if you don't like it.

Being a cynic, I don't think that'll happen so soon. It's always going to be easier to sell a product by showing pretty screenshots than by including captions of "Mind-blowing AI!"

Blizzard is hiring for 'TopSecret' project

The last time I ate out, it was at a Ruby Tuesday. The food was no good (which is why I usually grill steaks at home), and with the tip it cost a bit more than $15. ::shrug:: You know it's going to happen sooner or later.

Why are PC games cheaper than console games?

I remember the 16-bit Phantasy Star games and the Street Fighter II ports costing $70+ in the early 1990s. Or paying $50 for NES The Legend of Zelda in mid/late 80s dollars. Now that's expensive. Contemporary games are much more sophisticated, but charging $60 (weak c.2007 US dollars) for...

Any good RPGs come out lately?

KOTOR was well-polished, but everything was so linear and confined to obvious "arenas." Plus, the dialogue was very simplistic. Ah well, I shouldn't complain, it wasn't a bad game. Back on topic, Morrowind and Deus Ex are probably the two best PC RPGs I've played this decade. Before them...
