Oh, i just noticed that the version tested was XBox! So there is still no definitive comment on the PC version!

I used to have this problem with my 6600GT while playing HL2. However, in my case it seemed to be completely random. I don't believe my card was overheating. My best guess was that either some pipes in the GPU or some of the memory modules were buggy and couldn't take the high clock speeds. Eventually my card blew up.

It's also very robust and cleverly built, with a lot of nice touches everywhere. It feels well thought-out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Custom PC just did a lab test on cases, and the Antec came out best for heating. (They used a temperature-controlled chassis-testing chamber from Intel's Platform Engineering Department, together with a

Here's a positive review from game No surprises that they give it a thumbsup; I don't remember them even reviewing other games before ... I don't like this sound of this: ... Too much like the pretentious nonsense that AoD was trying to be. I think that just about sums it up ...

Steam allows me to log onto any PC that is internet-conneted (download Steam, if necessary, which is < 1MB), and play all of my registered Steam games. That's brilliant.

Well, it would mean uninstalling Tombraider 3, which I am about 2/3 of the way through (but have stopped playing because it is so tedious: I'm just at the kayak bit). Hmmm. You're right! (w00t)

But you won't want to play the first game after the second one ... :|
