empire total war, but wait a week, there are HUGE performance/gameplay glitches since it launched yesterday, but next week there is a huge patch coming out to remedy those issues.
besides that it is probably the best total war game period. its graphically stunning the campaign map is beautiful.
it seems like ms has finally made IE removable, at least in this build according to to zdnet:

lots of graphical glitches, and Crashes, on my end, but besides that it has been absoloutely wonderful to play this game. hopefully CA can get us a patch quickly to address some of these issues.
i don't think DOOM 4 will be out, i think i remember back when doom 4 was announced that carmack said he was planning on putting out RAGE first, then DOOM 4, but i do think Wolfenstein will be out this year, anybody know what engine its using? afaik ID Tech 5 is still in development, hopefully...
i think a lot of problems could possibly be solved ie the graphical ones, and scalability could be much better, once DirectX 11 comes out which should be by the end of this year or the beginning of 2010,
take a read lots of very good improvements to be...
1st. i'm quite sure you'd be just as angry as i was when i typed that post to include things like M$ that maybe i shouldn't have. it's quite aggravating. but moving beyond that, as you will notice i did update the bios, as i said in the cliffs, and the OP, so we'll call ourselves even...
don't have another system to hook it up to, but i just booted up Avira's AntiVir rescue disk that was a bootable linux based virus scanner, found nothing... so if not a virus then what lol? memtest reported no errors on 500+ passes.
Ok so this about the third day of this, it all started out when i rebooted my vista 64 system because it had been acting really really slow, reboot and lo and behold i cant boot
vista loads with the progress bars thing or w/e, goes to black screen, then reboots, does the same thing over, and...
christ get over it, if you don't like it then move along, i actually think its one of the better special/collectors editions because it actually includes something you can play, instead of a map/poster/making of dvd etc, and still is $10 cheaper then the collectors editions of Red Alert 3 i...

currently deactivated, but i picked these up back in nov. and they are fucking awesome!, great sound and the mic works very well. all for $20 SteelSeries FTW.
+1 for MTW I & II and RTW, and a heads up to the op Empire Total war will be out in march definently keep on an eye on that if you end up liking the rest, ETW is shaping up to me a quite wonderful game.
the big difference between console's graphics and integrated graphics is the simple fact that a console either a PS3 or 360 has the equivalent of a Ge-Force 7900 series gpu in it, so its a quite fast gpu. and add in to that the fact that in the ps3 case it has xDR RAM and the cell processor and...
1080i is interlaced while 1080p is progressive 1080i is nothing compared to 1080p imo but if your talking dvds it doesn't much matter as there all going to be upscaled which means quality won't be the best either way.
