Wow that looks terrible. I'm looking for a budget TV to put in the living room (50 inch) and I was considering this tv (well the 50inch model), Vizio E50-C1, or Vizio D50u-d1. (streaming tv shows and watching blurays mainly, with gaming being secondary). I had been strongly leaning toward the...

Nah I didn't think to notice if it BSOD'ed before or after running windows update. I don't think it did but it seems to happen in groups. For example I could be checking my email with only firefox running have it BSOD, reboot, and then while windows just booting up it could BSOD again only to...

Nope everything's stock.

When the BSOD's started the first thing I did was update all of my drivers. My Nvidia drivers were only a version or so behind but that didn't help and when I reinstalled windows I just grabbed the latest ones.

I was wondering if you guys might have some good pointers on diagnosing my machine before I sink any money into it. For the past month or so I've been getting BSOD's (caused by hal.dll according to bluescreenviewer) once or twice a day but for the past couple of days its gotten worse (every...

Actually its Unreal Engine 3. There has to be something going on with ATI cards/drivers and this game though. It seems the only people who are complaining about bad framerate are ATI owners. My machine isn't the latest but this game runs 100% smooth rock solid 60fps (Q9300, 8gb ram, 560gtx) but...

Same here. To rocket across the map at great speeds you just have to learn to ski and skiing in this version of Tribes is easy. Just hold down the space bar to slide down hills and use your jet pack to climb up and keep your speed up.

I still have this gut reaction of EWWWW when I give free to play games a shot. I really find the whole thing distasteful not having to earn things just buying your way to the top of the gear ladder. With that all said Tribes Ascend is a truckload of fun. I can see myself playing it just as...

I thought those Llano based laptops had Radeon HD 6620G and they aren't dedicated (and the cheapest one I saw was $700 and the cpu was only 1.6ghz). I just want him to end up with the best performing machine he can for not a lot of $$ and not be back in the position he's in right now which is a...

I fully understand there would be no room for upgrade (extras of any sort) with that PSU but I thought it would still handle the load of the above build. You guys are probably right though its not really something to cut a corner on.

So my friend is needing a new gaming PC but he doesn't have much in the way of cash and is asking me for advice. He first had me looking at some $400 dell desktops at bestbuy's site (he's got a couple of BB gift cards to go with some cash) a long with some sub-$600 laptops (He's kind of torn I...

I just recently was forced to replace my 8800gtx with a brand spankin new GTX 560ti and its causing me all sorts of audio issues. The hdmi audio works fine but the problem is I want to disable it so I can keep using my onboard audio (I've got some stuff hooked up to line in etc..). I've tried...

Well shoot my old 8800gtx gave up the ghost a few days ago so I just had ordered a EVGA SuperClocked GTX 560ti. Ah well at least it's one of the higher default clock speed ones.

http://wallbase.cc Pretty huge collection and easily searchable.

I can't register either keeps telling me I already have an account (I don't recall setting one up on their site) and when I try and recover it they don't send me the email. Also my launcher has the DLC button greyed out and says I still need to register to gain access to things such as "Troll...

Oddly enough I can't seem to stop playing Zombie Driver. Its a great pick up and play game. Keyboard controls were a little meh but plays perfectly with a 360 pad.

If you like the old school beat em up turtles games I highly recommend TMNT for GBA. Gameplay video: YouTube - ‪TMNT gameplay video (GBA)‬‏

Don't forget Dead Space on the iPhone, iPod, or iPad if you have an iOS device its pretty awesome and its a prequel of sorts to Dead Space 2. You will want to watch both movies before DS2 and play Ignition (I didn't care for the puzzle gameplay but it adds a little backstory to DS2 and gets...

What ticks me off the most is Valve and Ritual seem to have completely abandoned the episodic model. I mean what the hell at least finish what you started before you ditch it in the middle! I want Half Life Episode 3 and the rest of SiN episodes dangit! /rage :mad:

New update added "horde mode" and some other new features source: http://toucharcade.com/2011/05/26/dead-space-update-adds-survival-mode-and-a-new-gun/ I'm kind of new to the series I just recently played through the 1st Dead Space (on pc) and the iPad game and I've had a blast I'm going to...

My biggest problem with Playstation Move is that I'd really only use it on a couple of games so its hard to justify the $100 to buy a bundle with the camera, wand, etc.. Outside of Killzone 3 the only other game I think I'd use it for is Dead Space Extraction and maybe SOCOM. Are there any...

What really ticks me off is games like Dead Space 2 where the port isn't awful but they abandon it leaving pc players without story DLC content (Dead Space 2 Severed).

Killzone Liberation is an isometric style shooter not a first person shooter fyi. Supposedly the mystery Killzone game for the NGP (PSP 2.0) will be a FPS.

If your wanting a large screen but lower resolution you could always use a HDTV (1080p aka 1920x1080). Most will also offer component inputs (useful for older consoles and the Wii) where as a lot of monitors won't.

If any of you guys have an iOS or Android device you really should check out Galaxy on Fire 1 and 2. http://www.galaxyonfire.com Its a pretty awesome little space flight game with trading and upgrading your ship and gear.

Everyone should give Red Dead Redemption a go. Its a ton of fun even if you hate the GTA series.

Reposting a post I made on PA: Apps: ABC Player (Watch ABC shows for free on your iPad) iBooks, Kindle, Nook, or Google Books Pandora (streaming music) Netflix (for movies) Atomic Web Browser (IMO faster browser than Safari with desktop style tab UI. Doesn't refresh your tabs! Gives you a low...

Steam is dominating because its so much better than its competitors. A lot of them still have download limits (can only redownload your game X amount of times) and other annoying restrictions. Not to mention outside of certain titles that include 3rd party DRM (which is the publishers fault not...

With so many different game types and ways to play you will get your money's worth out of Reach. I've always enjoyed the series but I wasn't a rabid fanboy until Reach :p As for Hunters on Legendary they are not as hard as you might think. Just takes a ton of ammo fired into the weak spots...

Movement in Halo games have always been floaty. I'd rather see it have a bit more "weight" but oh well its still a great game. I REALLY enjoyed the flying level it was a nice break from being abused on Legendary difficulty (ugh still 2 levels to go). In fact I enjoyed it so much I'd really...

My backlog is massive so as soon as I finish my Legendary solo playthrough of Halo Reach (yes I die every 20 feet) it will be on to Fable 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 so I'll be ready for the sequels and somewhere a long the line I want to get back to God of War 3. :p To the above poster...

Would you mind linking the original? The trailer for that movie looks like it will be a fun ride.

I'm in a similar position spec wise and while I understand there will be some bottlenecking wouldn't he still see a large performance boost? I've been considering upgrading mine as well (specs below) with a 460/70/80 but haven't been able to decide since I am on a bit of a budget. Q9300...

I don't hate all types of DRM but most of it sucks and offers no benefit at all to the consumer. Steam on the other hand offers a ton of perks. No disc? No problem. Need to redownload a game after your 200th HD crash? No problem. Its the DRM that has install limits, revoke tools, and all of...

Seems kind of silly not to start with the 1st game.

I love the new art style but I normally HATE the free to play (aka nickle and dime) business model. I'm cautiously interested.

Seemed like a fair review to me. I liked the 1st game even with its issues and I'll end up picking up the 2nd but after a price drop I think. The preorder goodies suck and its way too short for the $60 price tag. Maybe when it hits $30.

Casual doesn't always mean bad. I don't mind the virtual controls myself some of them work really well. You really should check out some of the iOS devoted "gaming" sites though. It makes it easier to find the gems in the sea of junk (toucharcade.com, slidetoplay.com, wireless.ign.com, etc..)...

Its also $10 at gamestop. IMO one of the most underrated games in the last couple of years. Its just too bad it didn't get the polish love due to the company going out of business.

Hrm I'm running at Ultra @ 1920x1080 with this machine: Q9300 8gb of ram 8800gtx Win7 64bit It runs smooth for me at least thus far. I'm about 10 missions into single player or so and I've played some 2 on 2 Comp stomps. My only complaint so far has been the load times are a little long...
