I was thinking about purchasing this game today, actually. That or Bioshock...but the latter looks a little boring to me. *winks and ducks* ;)

WHAAAAA!!!?!?! BORING?!!? jk.

it is quite the awesome game tho - bioshock that is. I was too, thinking about getting lost planet. i've got a dual core 6400 8800gtx and 4 gigs of ddr2 so it may run fine on that, i'ono. i heard it got bad ratings for its lack of optimization.

doooooddd..... hats are awesome...

but yeah, do as he says, and get that many xp. the hats post is by far the most meaningful post on this thread yet. amen.

oh yeah, wow suxxors.

F.E.A.R. is one scary game. Without giving too much away...

Like they said^, it is subjective though. So, you saying that you're afraid of zombies... uh... well... there aren't zombies per-se in FEAR, but there is a lot of psychological-fear aspects to the game. So if you're afraid of paranormal experiences, then chances are this game will be terrifying to you... or if you are absolutely stoked about paranormal experiences - good or bad - then get it.

fact of the matter is though: you played the demo, liked it, so that should be okay. but the demo is only a fraction of what FEAR is all about and how scary it can get.

FEAR is one scary game, but it is also one helluva game too.

you suck.

point proven^

this is retarded. pc gaming will never become a thing of the past due to the fact that the whole world's industries use PCs and MACs for work related things. whether it be word processing or designing the new wave of movie cgi. it just won't happen on an xbox 3000 or a ps3 6404590. devs won't be lining up in front of best buys or circuit cities waiting for their xboxs and ps3s or whatevs that come out. the pc still stands as the superior gaming and work platform just because it is. it can do far more, last more, and face it: you can spend an almost equal amount of cash on a ps3 (JUST the ps3), or get a new video card (like the 8800gtx). now, buying a video card will upgrade your pc and extend your pcs lifespan (it may be bottlenecked tho), getting JUST the ps3 will JUST get you the ps3, while you still have to go out and buy all the hdi cables, the new plasma tv (to even GET the desired "graphics" look), the peripherals for you and your friends to now play so you can show it all off, those funky gaming chairs, extra harddrives?, ARGH.

stupid. it's just stupid. i dont hate consoles, i actually had an xbox 360, and i played it mad for a bit, then got my new alienware a few months later and played off and on, on both, then eventually just played my pc nonstop... and have been... still.... then i sold my xbox... plus you don't hear anything about "conspiracies" with pcs like with microsoft and what'not.

in anycase, it's not price that matters, it's the value. you get far more value with a pc than you would with a console.

console: gaming platform

pc: work, gaming, design, communication, etc. platform
