Posted September 27, 2007 You're probably getting stuck into Halo 3 at the moment, but since I don't own a 360 I've been having a look at the Clive Barker's Jericho demo. It's a Lovecraft inspired FPS that deserves a download, if you can wade through the cheese (shoot the bald guy in your squad and you'll see what I mean) then the 10 minutes worth of gameplay show a lot of promise. It looks sublime as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2007 Only time you ever want to use 2 GPUs is if you want to drive 3 or more monitors, they consume way more power and have tons more driver issues than single cards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2007 People keep mentioning Jericho, will have to give it a download i guess... Is it just me or does that DoW announcement not say who the new races are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2007 No, they're keeping their cards to their chest just for the mo, but the most likely suspects are Dark Eldar and Tyranids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2007 Weren't the Tyranids part of one of the factions currently? Like, you could choose between them or another part of the faction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2007 Not as far as I'm aware of. They're massively overdue addition. Tank-sized acid spewing Alien-esque beatles FTW. Throw those bad boys in and DoW will finally reach it's absolute zenith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 29, 2007 I'm actually getting pretty pumped for HL2: Ep 2. I'm this close to playing through Ep 1 again. Just for the sweet hell of it. And of course, Portal is going to be amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2007 Crysis is awesome people. It's not just eye candy, the gameplay is brilliant, multiplayer wise. I can't say too much more due to a silly/shaky NDA, but I do anyway, lol. It's running on low settings on my PC: 3ghz P4, 1gb RAM, 256mb GeForce 7600 GT PCI-E. I havn't tried on medium, but when it auto detected, for some reason, it put me on full low settings...with 4x AA. That confused me a bit, so the AA is off (really choppy and slow gameplay). I'll try a few settings on medium later. Screenshots available if you want 'em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 3, 2007 Hurrah, Portal is now preloading on Steam if you bought the orange box. Jeeze, the game is out on Tuesday O_o. I plan to finish EP2 in a night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2007 Hurrah, Portal is now preloading on Steam if you bought the orange box. Jeeze, the game is out on Tuesday O_o. I plan to finish EP2 in a night So we get it on the US release day, then? Aces (what does pre-loading do, anyway?) Edit: Ah, so it essentially downloads the whole game before release. Nifty. Still, why can't they let us play the game early? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 3, 2007 good grief. I registered a couple of kills on BF2 for the first time in a few months and suddenly all the points I earned over the points not updating-season counted up. I went up more then a rank and a half, and apparently I earned a gold star at some point. I can't even remember doing it. Must have been the round of my life.

Posted October 4, 2007 HL2: Episode 2, now pre loading! Although it's going very slow for me (around 16-54kb/s). Any ideas why? Anyone else got this problem? EDIT: Oh, it's going ok now... never mind. Lol. EDIT 2: Okay, now it's decided to go back to 33.1kb/s (and declining), what the fuck?! Valve really need to sort out their content servers. EDIT 3: Ah screw it! I'm going to bed now anyway (as I've got to get up early tomorrow to do uni work, then I have uni all afternoon.) I'll continue pre loading tomorrow methinks. Wow, that's a lot of edits... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 5, 2007 HL2: Episode 2 finished pre loading for me this morning, the net was back to normal. Recommended specs for UT3, according to IGN, are: <pc specs...> Everyone sorted then eh? I'm happy with that! The only thing dragging my system down is my processor, it's at 2.1ghz at each core. Though I only need to overclock it by a few hundred mhz, and then alls good.
