which is the better engine?
discuss.
-EDIT- almost forgot to cast my own vote: i vote Source, why? great engine, looks good, great physics, great net code, perfectly optimised, it is the end result of a lot people people who share the same thought about gaming.
as the title says, i will trade my 8600GTS plus cash for an 8800GTS or better. only thing is it MUST be in Australia, and the cash MUST be in Australian dollars.
Send some PM's with offers.
since the release of the 8800GT shouldn't the price for the 8800GTS and 8800GTX be dropping?
on the egg, the 8800GTS is still up in the $300 range
but the 8800GT is only $289.99, shouldn't the price of the 8800GTS be dropping, as in considerable drop?
