Is WoW any good...well that depends on what kind of games you like. All of the people saying "WoW sucks", I'd bet, don't actually like MMORPGs in general, maybe don't even like RPGs either. If you are into RPGs, give it a shot, I did and I haven't stopped playing since.

It's much better if you can play with friends though, it is Masively Multiplayer after all. I've found that most people that say "I leveled to 20 and hated it" are the ones that tryed to run around on their own and struggled. WoW isn't a game you should try to solo on, it's far more fun with others.

Have fun

I've got GTR2 and the Logitek G25 wheel and let me tell you, it is awsome! GTR2 fully supports the G25 wheel. The game is just amasing, very realistic feel and good championships. The only problem I have is there is no customisation, all you can do is change the livery on the car slightly. You can however tune the car quite extensively.

I've also found that Colin McRae DiRT is quite fun with the G25. Again, no customisation beyond livery but it's a lot of fun.

I'm the same, I was intrigued by Guitar Hero when the first one came out, but never really had enough interest to buy. I played the PS3 version at a friends house over the weekend and loved it. I had a quick look on Play and found it for the PC for £45 with controller, not a bad price, so I ordered it and it came yesterday. I just want to get out of work and play it.

I started off on Easy since it was the first GH game I'd played but I kept screwing up because what I was pressing didn't resemble the tune much. So I tried it on Medium and felt more comfortable, loving playing Disturbed - Stricken, best I've got so far is 95%, determined to get 100% some day :).

Rock on!

XP is arguably best for games. Unless you have a monster PC, don't install Vista, it wouldn't be worth the cost.

To be honest, you're better off sticking with XP and only get Vista with a new PC later down the road, assuming Linux hasn't taken over the world by then :).

And don't worry, you're really not missing out on anything DirectX 10 wise. Until game engines are built from the ground up to take advantage of it we won't see anything good from it.

Have fun

LOL I played Guitar Hero 3 for the first time ever over the weekend at a friends house and I said "This would be so much better with a real guitar". Who'da thought it.

Awsome, can't wait for this. It'll actually make me dust off my old guitar and plunk badly on it again.

Have fun

At the company where I work we only have about 4 computers on the network that meet the minimum spec for Vista, out of about 40. Add to that the fact that we also run some home brew software from our customers which won't run on Vista (they have only just added support for IE7...), it's not likely we'll be moving to Vista any time soon.

I actually run Vista on my home PC and I like it, I like the feel and look of it. I also prefer the way all the menus and views work over XP (like Control Panel and the Start Menu etc..). My experience has been very possitive with Vista, but businesses aren't ready for it, there's too much cost without any noticable gain. The same is true for Office 2007, it's pretty and all, but it doesn't justify the cost over the gains of the new software.

As for the DX10 issue, the video on GameTrailer for the new 3DMark Vantage explaines what I've said before, games developed for DX9 and then a DX10 layer added later can't take advantage of the benefits of DX10. Sure they can add some of the new effects but the engine needs to be written differently to get the optomisations.

I think in about 18 months time the whole argument will be the other way around, with people saying "You're still on XP?! Why God WHY?!? Upgrade you fool!" and this whole "Vista Sucks!" thing will be long fogotten. Happened last time.

Have fun

New content is of higher detail, like new mobs and buildings but all the old stuff from the original release and Burning Cursade aren't going to be altered. I think it will make the game feel a little disjointed as you can run around Northrend and see high detail mobs and really nice schenery, then go back to the Dorotar and see all the low detail mobs everywhere.

I've also heard that they are upgrading the shaders and particles, so spell effects should look nicer, but don't expect too much.

They really should upgrade the detail across the whole game but I can't imagine they'll ever do it, they'll just release their new MMO they're working on and forget about WoW. You'll probably see a bug fix patch once a year and the servers left to rot in a basement while they focus on their new games.

Shame really.

Have fun

Well, I like to have both :) but if my system can't handle the game with AA with 50~ fps then I will turn it off. Above all I like a smooth frame rate because playing a slide show just isn't worth playing.

Have fun

Well, my prediction is that people will stop trying to do photo realistic content.

Look at the history of Art, when loads of artists were doing paintings so lifelike you could believe it was real, some started doing crazy things and not even trying to make their work look real. The whole impressionist thing kicked off and then Art became anything you wanted.

I believe that video games will go down a similar route, especially since smaller developers won't be able to put the amount of work in necessary to create realistic visuals. Simpler, cartoony graphics will become far more common.

I think there will still be the big studios making realistic looking games, but it will hit a point where they can't improve the visuals any more and there won't be any graphic hypes anymore, just gameplay hypes (I hope anyway :) ).

We're quite a way off that yet though.

Have fun

I understand that Hamachi creates a virtual network adaptor, perhapse the game is either not able to see this virtual network adaptor or is just ignoring it. I've no idea how you could fix this though, could just be a limitation of the game.

I know I've had this problem with some games in the past, it's really hit or miss I'm afraid.
