Some of these stories are unfortunate but I can tell you that at the store I work in policy would not include asking for ID from an adult buying alcohol if they simply have a child with them. That is NOT in the training. Some of the examples here and reported in papers are, I suspect, not in...

The problem with a game like Bioshock is depending on how long you've been gaming it's not hard for it to feel unoriginal. If you played games like Deus ex, System shock 1/2 or even things like Thief: The Dark Project or NOLF, you'd find a game like Bioshock to just feel like the same thing...

I've heard something like this with many cards in the past (first was an old Nvidia 6800nu). If it's the same issue you'll notice it a lot in high framerate situations eg. on main menus for games, I found putting V-Sync on solved it in most cases for me though.

Looks like "A Vampyre Story"

Glad to see Chrono Cross mentioned a couple of times as it was amazing. Can also add: Xenogears (even just for the story alone) Grandia The Adventures of Alundra Lunar: SSSC Was always a big PC gaming fan but couldn't argue with the great selection of JRPGs the PS got.

I'd have to agree about Icewind Dale being great. I really liked the music for TA too, Soule again. Yasunori Mitsuda's Chrono Cross soundtrack is hard to beat.

That 230-260w is for the full system, which is an e6850, 2gb ram etc. so I doubt the 3850 (or 3870) is using a lot of power. Likely you'd still want a good brand 700w PSU for 4x3850 though.

This is true. The spec sheets for dx 10.1 that have been leaked around the net do not mention free AA. They just say that all cards must conform to the same 4xAA spec. It's creating a standard, not adding free AA to cards like the 360. Unless people have seen something else leaked I've not yet.

BC wasn't 100% emulation. The graphics chip from the PS2 is still in there on the 60GB EU version and the 80GB US version. In the 20/60GB US versions the EE+GS chips are both inside. The 40GB version has neither.

I think starforce is only installed after you try to run the game the first time. If you install then update using this patch: http://support.aspyr.com/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=429 the game should run without installing starforce, or even needing the CD/DVD. Hopefully that's the...

I think there are 1600fsb Xeons of "wolfdale" (45nm) type so I'd guess it's possible we'll see desktop versions.

Creatures 2 (C64) deserves a mention but no single longplay on youtube for it :( Just this amusing/annoying vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kbNIdOaUNc Cute, bloody and tough. (also had the weirdest cheat activation I remember reading about ever...) Same guys also somehow created...

I was amused seeing this topic as it applies to me quite well. I have 100+ PC games (majority are old enough to be big box versions) and have completed about 20 of them heh. Lets see... Wing Commander 3 Wing Commander Prophecy Longest Journey Dreamfall Deus Ex Monkey Island Monkey...

Firiona Vie (everquest) Daphne (dragon's lair) Both with Larry. I think the guy at the desk on the right in the trenchcoat is supposed to represent Blade Runner.

Differences based on features are (in bold): Dell is a S-PVA panel with DVI (HDCP), VGA, Component, Composite and S-Video inputs with usb and a card reader. BenQ is a P-MVA panel with DVI (HDCP), HDMI (HDCP), VGA, Component, composite and S-Video inputs with usb. BenQ have in emails...

If you want a PSU with the same level of power (or better) and same price then consider the Antec NeoHE 430w (32A 12v). There may be others around that price range too if you look carefully. Ignore the 580w rating on the Hiper. Comparable PSUs are in the 430-500w range, assuming a good brand...

x1950 easily assuming no heavy power use from the rest of the system (eg. heavily OC'd P4). 32A on 12v rails is more than enough for a 8800GTX. The NeoHE PSUs are built like most of the newer PSUs with heavy emphasis on the 12v rails rather than 5v and 3.3v, since newer CPUs and graphics...

The Antec neo HE 550 is way better for 12v than the hiper 580w. Those hipers are deceptive, based on thier own spec sheet it'll do up to 30A on the 12v rails (not 20+18). That's not much more than my 480w single rail tagan which does 28A. To compare the Neo HE 550 has 3 rails that say they...

Ragdoll and realistic liquid effects are good examples of what the card should be used to sort out. In this game it's just that the Devs haven't done anything good with the graphics to stop there being a GPU limitation as much as possible. With DX10 GPUs I think we'll see some amazing stuff...

Mine is being cooled by a AC Freezer 7 Pro. Seems to be fine. If your board can support the clock and your PSU can supply the power it should be okay doing 3.8ghz with a decent air cooling setup. By that I mean also having a good air flow through the case. Will depend some on the...
