I used mouse and keyboard for Morrowind and Oblivion, but since I got my Home Theater PC, I miht go with my wireless xbox 360 controller and play on my TV form the couch.

this is my plan, best of both worlds. mods and good graphics + giant tv couch and surround sound system.

I really wouldn't read too much into the rumour that with Win8 you will be able to run Xbox 360 games. On a technical level PC's still do not have enough power to "emulate" either the xbox 360 or the PS3. All Win8 is doing is ditching GFWL and integrating XBL so you can view stats and login to XBL from your PC it will NOT allow you to play Xbox games.

waaaaaait.... this is some hilarious joke right??? PC's arent as powerfull as a 6 year old machine? This is the most rediculous thing ive ever read on a forum ever.

Medieval 3 Total War would be nice. Total War is at its best when there are still swords and arrows on the battlefield in my opinion. I don't think a World War 1 Total War would work simply because the type of warfare and battles seen in the classical to Samurai eras of history simplely arent there, and it would be very difficult to make the game enjoyable without sacrificing what made World War 1 the war that it was. In my opinion modern warfare has no place in Total War. Brean24

agree

100% worth it

ubersampling is only taxing heavy on GPU, and no offense, a 6990 is not enough to enable ubersmapling in witcher2(nor is my gtx480) but I still had it on and played through the whole game with 25ish fps. it does make world of difference.

According to the benchmark, the only card in the world that able run ubersmapling is gtx590(dual core) with about 35-45 fps.

this is just either blind ignorance or blind nvidia fanboyism but the 6990 is a dual core card on par with and sometimes besting the 590 depending on the game... the 6990 would ravage your puny gtx 480 and if you can get 25 fps then he should be able to get much more something aint right. its possible its the drivers i dont know enough tho.

ugh why cant batman be steamworks too, do i need to keep this capsule to play it after i download? its GFWL why cant i just download it off their marketplace...

def dead island trailer for me

I see a lot of people whining about how the boss battles deviate from freedom of choice and forces you to use guns and be aggressive. Apparently they haven't watched the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NToxyDZKuMM

Darwin said it's not the strongest of the species that survives nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. You may have played the game on stealth mode but if you can't adapt to the situation at hand you won't survive. You can whine all you want but things change in life whether you like it or not.

This game has taught me a life lesson that being adaptive is very important for survival.

Having the boss battles deviate is a good design in that it forces the player to "adapt" rather than have the freedom to do the same play$tyle. A boss battle would be so lame if you can just defeat him/her with you hiding then shoot then repeat the process. There woudln't be much challenge. doing stealth against a boss is not a good design because unlike levels where you're dealing with cameras, turrets, robots and many enemies, in a boss battle, you're only dealing with one person, the boss.

agreed, i really enjoyed having some fighting thrown in as i went full stealth/hacker and only ever had a 10mm pistol for boss fights on me and they were tons of fun all reviewers are knobs...

You like shooting? Deus Ex. You like swords and boobs? Witcher 2. Done.Grimtano

Couldent say it better. They are both amazing games so its all down to what your feeling like, fantasy or sci-fi.

working as intended
