Someone on Shacknews found this easter egg one last night: When you are in the Museum of Technology there is a desk on the 1st or 2nd floor with the shacknews logo made out of pencils and a ball. I guess there is a Lincoln shrine around D.C. somewhere as well.

Dang, I was going to ask if you worked for Crytek :)

The only ones I know of are the Savage series. I love the gameplay when everyone is working together but if you team has no clue what to do and the other team does it is very one sided and hard to come back from.

I was pretty frustrated in the driving mechanic as well. There was no way I was going to finish one of the quests with any of the pre-made vehicles because they all handle like crap. It's not that the bad wheels make it hard it's just the driving mechanic is very rigid and almost all...

Good job CD Projekt! I picked it up last year and it was good then but with the enhanced edition it's even better! Every RPG fan should try it.

I would, and have. My dog ran through my play and charge kit and pulled my 360 out ruining my Mass Effect disc 10 minutes after I started playing for the first time. She went in the kennel and I went off to replace my copy. I would get that 360 off you TV if it's pretty high up to prevent...

Depending on AMD's next chip I may go back to them. The price/performance ratio was really in Intel's court this round. It's the only time I've ever owned an Intel processor so I hope AMD comes back.

+1 TVersity will also transcode the files for you into a usable format for your 360. You may also want to look into Winamp Remote/Orb for streaming. I've had a lot of good luck with both programs but TVersity is a little bit better these days.

I thought the co-op online was a lot of fun in the beta. It will get stale quickly once everyone figures out how to take out the enemies that are in the same spot every time. If the maps randomly generated enemies and turret placements it would be a lot more interesting in the long run.

Fallout is a game based on limitations and living with those limitations. It's a lot less fun being the super character in Fallout games. I know in FO1 they rewrote the script for really dumb characters so that was a new experience for those that wanted to do it.

I couldn't target body parts with my baseball bat it was just lighting up the whole body and I hoped I crippled an arm or something to disarm them. I haven't tried it with a more finesse weapon like the combat knife though. I could have sworn Todd Howard targeted an enemies head with the...

I had it crash on the first time I ran it but after that it's been smooth sailing.

I played and LOVED the first two games. That said I have been having a blast in FO3 so far and had to force myself to put it down last night at 2:30am. I thought the graphics nailed the world pretty well, save for the NPCs, but Bethseda has never had good animations. The combat is alright...

I'm still in the Vault but it just 'feels' like a Fallout game so far. I can't wait to get out into the wastelands and start punching people in the face with a powerfist!

I'm running a similar rig at 1680x1050 on high no problem but I haven't gotten outside yet.

The Fallout games were traditional isometric PC RPG games. What that means is they were less structured than a console RPG and it carried more adult themes than say Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 7. You play as a character exiting a Fallout shelter (or Vault) years after a nuclear holocaust...

Maybe toss a crossover cable between the switches in case someone trips on the uplink cables. Other than that I would throttle bit torrent traffic and any p2p traffic just to keep everything nice and smooth.

That's what I would try as well. It sounds more like the hard drive is dead since you get video and audio.

What blows my mind is they waited a WEEK to start looking. My parents would have been looking for me within 4 hours ready to ground me until I hit 18. At 15 I was playing a lot of Starcraft and Half-Life and I was grounded from them numerous times until I finally learned I can't spend all my...

Mega Man ZX and Mega Man ZX Advent are great side scrollers. I liked Advent more.

You must have just had some bad luck. The only time I've had troubles with Steam was in 2004 with the HL2 unlock thing. Luckily I had to go to work so it fixed itself by the time I got home. I would have loved to play it before work but I survived. The Orange Box has been fantastic for me...

You may also want to test your ram with memtest. I had a similar problem with a stick I bought for this build. Turned out half of it was bad but some games didn't hit the sectors somehow.

I thought Valve hired all of the CS guys quite awhile ago to make the retail Counter-Strike.

I picked it up on Wii and it is widescreen from what I can tell nothing looks stretched horizontally so it must just be in the PC version. It's well worth it at $15 (Wii price) I would have been hesitant at $20 though but it's a pretty big game actually. Where can you buy The Witcher and...

For me, I'm boycotting install limits. This has now extended to Ubisoft and FarCry 2 so it's not just an EA boycott anymore. If Mirror's Edge comes out without install limits I'm all over that like a fat kid on a cup cake, but if it does have an install limit, then I just won't play it...

I'll agree they will just blame it on piracy but by purchasing the game it also verifies that the DRM is working and this is the correct path to go down. I'd rather be labeled a pirate for not buying it or resorting to piracy then be treated like a criminal even after legally purchasing the...

I'm currently 'boycotting' I guess. Besides the DRM'd games I won't touch EA isn't really putting out much I am really interested in so it's not hard. Dead Space and Mirror's Edge do look great though. If they get the install limit DRM I won't get them even if they are on console.

Awesome, another game I can cross off of my list. My wallet is starting to feel a little better now that I crossed Spore, Crysis Warhead, Red Alert 3 and now Far Cry 2 off of my buy list. Savings of ~$200 thanks to DRM

Making it harder to get into their games is not something Blizzard does so charging for features does not make much sense to me either. I was just proving a point that just because they can charge doesn't mean they should when better services are available at no cost.

This is looking more and more like a maybe buy instead of the frothing at the mouth must have game it was when I first saw it. Hell you might as well port it to consoles at this point. They took all the fun out of it now. I think Marvel Ultimate Alliance had more depth to what we are seeing here.

I've got a job, I'm 22 and I'm still pissed about it. If they offered anything besides a master server and match making then it would start to become a service that I MIGHT pay for. Steam has a master server, in-game voice chat, friends lists, a store, and a community all built into it for NO...

$20 for PC $15 for Wii I picked it up for the Wii and played if for about 2 hours last night having a blast. The last level of the first area was a blast to get through. I didn't think I could get it to work but the end was worth it.

I did this trying to buy Crysis. Restart Steam and wait a few days and it will work correctly.

20-25 Exclusives are better Exclusives are the point of having different consoles. If all games come out on all systems then what's the point of making 3 consoles and PC gaming? Make it all for PC and be done with it. I love gaming from the couch though so I might have to bring my gaming...

This reminds me of the Dawn of War games. There have been 3 expansions for the original Dawn of War game since it was released. Each title brought a new gameplay type. Witer Assault was all about the Imperials which are a defensive race. Dark Crusade brought on the new Risk based gameplay...

Fallout 3 - PC FarCry 2 - PC if I get it Dead Space - Console if I get it Dead Space is going to be a great horror game to play with others watching with the lights turned off and the music turned up.

Pick up NWN2 Gold and play Mask of the Betrayer. It's head and shoulders above the original campaign.

I could use a little bump up from my 8800GT

That was fast. I bet we will hear nothing about piracy on the 360 but if it's pirated early on PC it will be a shit storm all over the internet.
