Project C.A.R.S

This is the first I'm hearing of it, thanks for posting. I need to believe after the horrible horrible F1 2010 ridiculously casual console series masquerading as a sim there was light at the end of the tunnel. The last good F1 simulator I played was F1 2002, everything since then has been ultra...

Day Z alpha: How the zombie apocalypse should be

Yes, most definitely. If you want yet another COD PVP deathmatch experience this is for you; however if you want to play a zombie apocalypse survival game, look elsewhere. This is where all the grief and misunderstanding comes from: the game is NOT a simulation, it is an experiment. The game...

Reinstalling Win7 without reinstalling Steam games?

Not quite. Once the (game) application is launched it's free to generate as many files wherever it wants, Steam only controls the initial download and installation of the application, not how it behaves during runtime. This leaves Steam with only very precarious options if they wanted to do as...

Wireless vs Wired connection for FPS online gaming?

Simple way to tell is just ping your router. (i.e. ping -t your.router.address) You'll notice typically wired connections are constant <1ms, and wireless connections can vary between 1ms and even 9ms depending on location. There is also more overhead with wireless traffic, and while latency can...

Reinstalling Win7 without reinstalling Steam games?

If you back-up and copy the contents of your .../Steam/SteamApps folder to your new Steam installation it will save you from redownloading the game's content. As to where the saves, configs, and etc live, this can be dispersed about your drive as the game sees fit. Some of them store it in the...

Is it bad...

Actually I got the urge to fire up BF2 lately since BF3 has ended the BF era (really it ended at BF:BC marking its rebirth as console fodder). I didn't even care if there are only a few servers left running full-scale battles and not just karkand24-7 infantry-only grenade fests. Sadly though...

Anyone here play Amnesia: The Dark Descent?

I haven't played the demo, but the game itself doesn't quite fit "scarey", in a word, I'd say it's "perturbing". It is very atmospheric though; play with the lights off and sound up, let your mind absorb the surroundings- don't just rush through the levels. Knowing medieval and Victorian history...

Anyone here play Amnesia: The Dark Descent?

absolutely phenomenal game. draws emotional reaction from the player, completely immersive. morally perverse, complex characters. it ravages the mind in every way you'd want with heaps of suggestive horror making your mind your own worse enemy. recommend play in the dark with headphones!

Nuclear Dawn

Considering it started life as a Source Engine mod, $25 is rather generous, especially since it still has all the quality of a mod. Natural Selection 2 also started life as a mod (as did its predecessor), but at least they had the decency to build their own engine from the ground up (though they...
