Well, it could be slowing it from 90 to 80 EDIT: FEAR was a ton of fun. The game has fantastic visuals too.

I was playing FEAR. I just finished it. Next up, Far Cry.

Wasn't there a kafuffle about nVidia not being fully to spec in DX9 at one time too?

316 seconds that's pretty fast!

Good game > trivial issue of swapping a disc

I actually like CoD 2's health regeneration. I hated having to replay an entire level because my autosave has me at 2 health, and there's no medpacks nearby with a tiger tank blocking my way. As for Fallout versus Fallout 2, I choose Fallout 2. Fallout was too short.

WOOOO! Go Oilers Go!

Oh dear god.

Well, we're talking about the ones that made it big right. I'd have to give the nod to Half-Life. Half-Life showed me that an FPS game can be fun single player.

I bet I could still finish the game in convincing fashion starting the game with all 9's in my stats. So I don't think I'd have any problem playing without any one of them.

Absolutely... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The numerous '...' was trying to display my speechlessness of such a claim. I agree that Half-Life was the one that kick started things.

I don't think so. At least not in my experience. With respect to reading scratched CDs, my DVD player does a better job than my CD-RW....but those are CDs.

Bad guy, meet the Penetrator. My shotgun disagreed with this dude's leg:

Absolutely... ... ... Learn by doing was popular enough to spawn 7 sequels in the Wizardry series. And while UT technically released before Q3A, Q3A was played long before thanks to its beta stress test.

And Ultima Underwold truly was 3D as it had a Z-Axis, whereas Wolf3D didn't. Though 3D certainly wasn't new. IIRC Falcon for the PC was 3D, and I know that Activision's classic Mechwarrior was.

Why is that?

I'd imagine games still come on CDs because there's still the impression that a significant amount of people don't have DVD drives.

I thought you played on max details?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are several documented cases (especially on the PS2), where developers that made several sequels or several games on the same engine showed a decrese in disc capacity for each release. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to back this up.

Haha, must be for it's antique reasons. I should dig out the old Odyssey in my parents' garage.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I will concede that mine was an attempt at logic.

Excellent game by the team. Peca with 4 points in the last 4 games, and Harvey on a two game point streak! Roloson with the alley-oop pass to Peca for that SH goal was great.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Meh. Beasties eat wierd things.

Heh, how much was the Odyssey.
