looks really cool, shame it won't run on any of my machines....time to upgrade the graphics card/memory and CPU (again)

Bugger.

Great for benchmarking newer systems, good suspense and plenty of scary surprises, much of the proceeds go to private spaceflight research, but in the end it's still Doom. But don'tlet that stop you from buying a fabulous new GPU. :)

I'm going to wait til the thing drops off premium pricing. I should check out what Far Cry is going for - I love the look of that game.

I haven't done so much PC or Mac gaming recently, as I bought one of those damnable Xbox things when Knights of the Old Republic was released. Awesome RPG. Of course, now that KotOR is out on the PC (and on the Mac next month), and Halo is on both PC and Mac, there are few compelling reasons to get an Xbox. As far as I'm concerned, the only game I'd miss without it would be Project Gotham Racing 2, and I expect GT4 will cure me of that.

If GT4 Prologue is anything to go by I can't wait for the full version......

I have an interim machine that it works on now, and bloody hell, what a scary game. The graphics are stunning even on the lower settings, it's like being in a cgi movie.
I had the lights off and the sound tapped into the stereo and I nearly jumped off the sofa with fright during several points on the first level.

I _must_ visit Novatech and build a machine capable of running it in Ultra Detail mode....

So that's my weekend over with :)
