doesn't look like a good year, just a rehash of the last few. A few first person shooters. Some cookie cutter RTS. No good RPGs.... The only thing with promise is spore, but its a game that could either be really good or really bad. I used to like UT but they turn out to be games that die after 6-12 months and I like playing a FPS long term, like you can with Counter-Strike. Teamplay cal for it is empty. These singple player FPS games are boring and stupid, just like the summer horror movie... omg you walk around and see scary things and shoot them... inventive. Then with RPGs all we get is these bad action RPGs with no real role playing, like you had in Baldurs Gate... just first person shooters with more of a focus on storyline and a couple of choices. Oblivion is just a MMORPG without other players.... how is that fun? So taking this into account the good games coming out this year it seems are: Hellgate - depends on the multiplayer though... could be the next Deus Ex and that game was extremely good. If its a cookie cutter linear singleplayer like Diablo though it is a miss. Even there it could be good if its multiplayer is done well. Spore - they are actually doing something original.... wow. Warhammer Online - finally a pvp mmorpg.... now everyone can quit playing diablo 2 and Shadowbane.... oh wait its factional pvp and not guild vs guild... i guess that takes it off this list. I'm glad someone mentioned Sins of the Solar Empire.... Master of Orion 2 + homeworld battles = a winning experiance.

Spore that game is going to pretty much be all of the sim games rolled into one i cant wait.

What many people dont realize that its simearth + simlife + simcity + other ideas... which should make for a unique game. End all be all of the god games... What I would like to see: A good space sim like Tie Fighter.... wont happen A epic and dynamic RPG like Planescape Torment or Baldurs Gate 2.... NWN2 wasn't it, NWN1 wasn't it, KOTOR wasn't it.... will Mass Effect be it? Doubt it. A well done MMORPG like Shadowbane with player owned content and focus on guild vs guild.... wont happen.

It is one of the best AGP cards out there. You shouldn't have too much trouble running the latest games as long as you don't need them to be run at highest settings.Johnny_Rock
its not "one of the best" but its good enough to play most games on medium-like settings on a decent resolution. Its equal to like a 6800GT basically.

Should I overclock my system?[/quote
not unless you have really good cooling and know what you  are doing.

I noticed he said he has AP classes.... from my experiance AP teachers are by and large idiotic morons. I refused to take anymore ap classes after the 2nd year of high school beacuse of their idiocy... and guess what? I still got into a good school. AP is idiotic, pointless, and highly overrated. History AP teachers were usually nice and cool, English were always the WORST in my school. Opinionated, idiot liberal/conservative extremists only where I went to high school taught AP English. I have a few friends that graduated with a D average, went to community college for 2 years, transfered to a good university (UIC), and make more money than i do. I know a guy who dropped out and got a GED who now makes more than $30 an hour. If your smart and willing to work you will have success, high school is BS. Don't take AP classes. If you are smart enough to get in AP your smart enough to do well without it.

[QUOTE="eo12601"]the endings of kotor 2 and nwn 2 are both disgusting. Obsidian= glitchy games w/ sucky endings.ponche_wow


I completely agree

I wouldn't say that. Planescape Torment and the Icewind Dales's were good, they made those as black isle. Its just Atari, ever since Black Isle (obsidian) and Bioware left Interplay for them the quality of their games has only decreased. They rushed both KOTOR2 and NWN2 also as well. Nobody puts a good effort to PC rpgs anymore, aside from mmorpgs but thats not the same genre. Its always some half-assed effort with a seriously lacking element in some part of the gameplay. People just dont demand quality anymore since they are so few and far between and they are rewarded by good reviews and sales.
