Speaking as someone who falls into the 24-35 age group I can say that there are enough decent modern games out there to satisfy my gaming. Granted, there are many re-boots, console ports and dull, unorigional AAA titles out there but there are also a wealth of interesting indy games plus some...
I love carrying around a Lee Enfield with me in Chernarus as a survivor. I wouldn't want to fire it in a city mind you unless I was carrying a smoke grenade or something else to distract the zombles! The sheer stopping power of it though means that out in the country side I can use it to pick...
I've been playing this over the weekend - best zombie survival game i've played yet! It's tough in the fact that you can't trust anybody and the zombie runners are tricky to hit accurately. What makes it even tougher is gathering enough supplies (bandages, painkillers, plasma, food, water) to...
The title is wrong but the post is correct (and the article is cool) - we don't distill whiskey here in Scotland, we distill whisky. If you want whiskey go to Ireland or the US :) .
Out of interest it seems that Sweden, FInland, Denmark, and Australia all now produce whisky, alongside the old...
I've heard about this game for a while now and if it's by Paradox (who are taking lessons on board from the Mount and Blade series) then it is going to be a hell of a game.
The graphics might not be crysis level but i'm confident that the gameplay will be as good if not better than that of...
Yeah, when I see fancy cinematics I usually think that the developers of the a game are trying to make up for a crap game.
Having played the Witcher 1 and 2 I know that this is definitely not the case! I'm really looking forward to this release!

Looks like Lost Alpha by dezowave (et al) is going to finally be released sometime this year (fingers crossed). Personally I can't wait!
More information on the SoC mod can be found here:

This. Although i'm gutted that Stalker 2 might not come to fruition there is always Lost Alpha which is shaping up to be one hell of a good mod that all fans of Stalker should be aware of. S.T.A.L.K.E.R:The Faction War mod is another ongoing great mod that fans should be aware of...
I really enjoyed the voice acting as well, especially the heavy use of european accents. I personally don't find the over-use of obvious american accents very immersive in games with a medieval/fantasy setting. It took me about 15minutes to get used to the combat and then I was hooked, the...
From the Stalker facebook page on the 9th of October :D
I'm glad that GSC hasn't decided to use Ubisoft's DRM approach yet; gives me hope that soon they'll shelve the idea completely.
CD Projekt RED know how to get the job done. I thoroughly enjoyed TW1 and TW2 and would definitely buy TW3 whenever it comes out. The developers know how to treat the customers well which involves a common sense approach to DRM and DLC etc. Hooray for CD Projekt RED!
I'd recommend playing Clear Sky, it's not everyone's cup of tea but I preferred it to CoP. It's a prequel to SoC so you'll learn a lot more about the zone. When the game first came out faction wars were pretty messed up but after 10 patches they're generally ok, you don't have to join a faction...
Aye, I really think this time round BIS should strive to make create an easier interaction menu for ARMA 3. I can deal with the one in ARMA 2 fine enough but I know from previous threads that many others find it to be too fiddly and ultimately off putting ;). If they get the interfaces right...
According to the following article they make sims for the American, British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand militaries:

Aye, you mentioned that already in your first post but I respect that your opinion will differ and I don't doubt that you don't find it fun. There are bugs and some aspects can be over complex and I won't deny this
What I find fun is the sheer scale of Arma 2, the massive variety of weapons...
ARMA 2 has always been the pinnacle of FPS games for me and i'm very excited about ARMA 3. Once you get the hang of it ARMA 2 isn't too complicated at all but it does take a bit of patience to get used to it. It is well worth it though and there is loads of fun to be had.
For me single-player...
From what Smoq has said in the past it would not be possible to merge TFW into Complete due to the fact that TFW is a total conversion mod and much more complex than complete due to all the new features added in. At the end of the day TFW and Complete are different beasts; if someone wanted to...
Try The Faction War (TFW) mod by Smoq2 et al

It's really the only mod for Clear Sky that fixes the faction wars but for many other reasons it is probably the best mod available for Clear...
I'd never played any of the operation flashpoint series or Arma1 before trying out Arma 2 last year. I entered the bootcamp portion of the game and got incredibly frustrated by the controls and how fiddly it all was and I was quite close to giving up on the game for good. I'd come from a CoD...
Smrtphoneusr is working on S.M.R.T.E.R Pripyat v0.45, a highly anticipated CoP mod that will include the SoC maps and possibly some of the unreleased maps from the 1935 build that GSC couldn't fit into SOC. The link below shows quite a few screenshots of his work in progress, some features will...
It's definitely worth it. Play it through once without mods then try the Total Faction War 2.5 mod by smoq2 et al. Its probably the best mod available for Clear Sky and you can combine it with AtmosFear for CS by Cromm cruac for graphical goodness. I'd choose it over CS: Complete given the...
I'm sure CoP Complete will be pretty decent but I think the main mod to look out for for CoP is definitely S.M.R.T.E.R. Pripyat v.0.45 by smrtphoneusr. He's one of the most talented modders out there. He's come up with the Giant pseudogiant amongst other new additions such as all the old maps...
Played the first Witcher at the start of the year when I bought it in the Steam sales and Iwas taken aback at how awesome it was! Completed the game in a week or so because the storyline had me hooked. Even the gf enjoyed the game and would stay up to ungodly hours in the morning with me as I...
You should try Total Faction War by smoq2 et al as it features an all new storyline, controllable faction wars, henchmen with adjustable inventories and the best freeplay i've encountered in a Stalker mod yet (Whether it's SoC, CS or CoP).
Version 2.5 has just been released...
For some reason I find that I'm more inclined to enjoy "buggy" PC games like Stalker, Arma2, Men of War, The Witcher and the Hearts of Iron series etc. I think it's because developers in Europe, especially eastern europe, tend to make more complex games (probably combined with less quality...
+1 for AtmosFear 2 for CoP.
Here's a selection of some of the best stalker mods to try/get for each iteration of the genre:
SoC:
Oblivion Lost by Kanyhalos Old classic
Priboi Story by dezodor et al New version of which is being released by LoboTheMan
Supermod Pack by Wolfehunter et al...
Looking through the same Q&A
"Q:Will the interface (inventory, map, etc) on the pc version suffer (like other games have) by trying to cater for console systems?
A: No, whatsoever."
So no, GSC are not just focussing on graphics when it comes to the PC version.
Here's the full Q&A
Q: What...
+1 for The Witcher. Picked it up after New Year and thought i'd give it a whirl. I found it bit tough to get used to initially but after 10 minutes I was hooked. The Witcher 2 comes out this May so now is as good as time as any to play the original.
Delighted to hear of the success behind Amnesia, t'was game of the year 2010 in my opinion and the developers deserve every penny earned and more.
I'm a happy PC gamer :)
