Since when does Gears Of War have a good story? :P

ANyways....

- Divine Divinity

- The Witcher

- Bioshock

- Deus Ex

- Wizardry series

- Mafia - Probably the best sandbox story imo.

Awww Kozzy, I can't believe I forgot Bioshock! Thats a very good one as well. He doesn't want rpg's though so Witcher and Deus Ex are out and Bioshock is almost an rpg too although I think of it more as an FPS.

Mafia is probably the best story ever in a game and the graphics hold up well. Also look at Max Payne I&II, Call of Juarez, or any of the Splinter Cells.

Orange box for sure. L4D just had an update today but before that it got pretty old pretty fast. There really isn't a lot to do once you've played through the same 4 levels 100 times.

okay so for user name you can type anything. For server you need to click the arrow on the right, click new, and type in your server ip and port number. The name you give it doesn't matter and is only for reference. Bindings can be almost anything but the most common would be to make a talk binding. click the right arrow next to binding and click new. Now click add and select PTT advanced (Push to talk). Type your chosen talk key in the box at the bottom. Now just click connect and select the proper channel that your friends are in.

Well in general laptops aren't that great for gaming. I am not sure if this is the best but its a pretty good one. Hope you brought your check book.

I agree the the biggest problem is your graphic card. The M designation means mobile and its a huge downgrade from a standard 9300 which wasn't great to begin with. You will gain better performance by lowering your graphically settings and resolution but this is why many of us stress that laptops are not made for gaming. Any laptop that costs less than $1500-$2000 will not game well, especially going into the future. A desktop can get the same performance for $700.

no. It needs to be activated but that can be done off line if required although its not a quick process. And even that is only one time. It definitely doesn't expire.

FYI DX10 is primarily a performance improvement and not a huge graphical leap. In most cases you should see better performance with dx10. Also with todays higher resolutions, AA is not necessarily a requirement. Its a huge amount of processing for a very small improvement. AF is very dependent and the game so you may or may not need that too

I don't think the full game would be any better than the demo. Mount and blade is an awesome game and I loved it but it is what it is. It doesn't have good graphics or even much to do. Its mostly about the first person sword fights and taking over new castles. So if you like that then by all means get it. Its a good price. But don't expect much more than what's in the demo.

Are you sure you deleted your account? normally you would just deactivate the automatic billing to cancel. Your account should stay in place unless you specifically asked them to delete it so just go and log into your old acount and you can easily reactivate the game. If you did for some reason actually ask them to delete your account there is not much help. What I would do is email tech support and explain the situation. Show any proof of purchase if you have it, don't take the first no they give you as the final answer, and beg.
