I enjoyed it, but i played it on console and have not had any prior expierience with the Crysis series as my pc had not been able to run it. Anyway, i really enjoyed it and thought that the campaign was really fun and unique to play through. I only got this expierience because i beat it on supersoldier (that's what makes it really fun and challenging; gotta think things through and stealth a lot more). However, while i did really enjoy the multiplayer for a time being (pretty innovative and they did a good job managing classes and suit perks), the servers were trash. That is likely just an xbox thing though so you don't have to worry about it. I really enjoyed this game and i think it is definitely worth 20 bucks, that is, if you are into games like it. If not, you could probably find a better game. As far as FPS go, i found it enjoyable, to say the least.

Oh yea, i forgot about the street fighter series. that probably beats mortal kombat by sheer difficulty of executing the moves. I haven't really played Soul Calibur so i can't really comment on it, bnd i do agree that Catherine is very difficult and frusterating.

First off, my definition of a hardcore game is one that is very difficult to master and takes a lot of practice to get good at. The people who do master these games could be considered hardcore gamers. This list is of games that i have personally played, so i'm expecting people to add on to this list.

-Gears of War

-Rock Band/Guitar Hero

-Mortal Kombat

-Call of Duty (quickscope?)

(these next few i haven't played, but understand their difficulty)

- Ninja Gaiden

-Devil May Cry

-Dark Souls

This is a bit off-topic, considering these are pc games, but i feel like they deserve a mention anyway

-Starcraft 1/2

-Company of Heroes

-Counter Strike

- Dota/League of legends/ Heroes of Newerth

Please feel free to add to this list, this is purely opinative on my part. Give input.

ok, ill give it a shot guys, and thanks for all the replies i got. Sincere thanks.

Hey, i got a question. If yo played the demo for the pc and got the mass effect unlockables, does that carry over to the xbox or is it just for the pc version of mass effect 3? please answer, because i spent three hours on it (and lovesd the game), but i don't want to have to go back and spend another three hours on it on the console.

Okay, i understand this isn't directly correlated to computer hardware, but this is the only section i could relate this most closely to. Okay, so i've lived in a rural area for my entire life and after being stuck on dial-up, finally got upgraded to high speed internet. There is no DSL in my area, so i havea broadband. Its actually Zeta Broadband, but i don't know if that will really matter. Anyway, we used to always have a terrible issue with the internet just randomly dropping and it was unbearable. Then, we upgraded our router from an old Lynksys to a Netgear, and it didn't seem to change much. But, i guess it got better over time, but at the same time i started noticing that the internet went out when the phone rang. At last for the devices that connected wirelessly. This led us to believek that the wireless router frequency was the same as our phone, so we tested it with a cheap phone and then upgraded to one with dect 6.0. Now, it works. Although it disconnects every 5 minutes now, and i am just tired. Can anybody help.

Overview

Zeta Broadband provider

Netgear Router

P.S. we don't really think its the router so much because it happened on the Lynksys. And apparently this problem is with many different broadband providers. If you guys could help me out here, i would be very grateful. It happens on every device. Although i don't know so much on hard-wired devices yet though (It kept dropping and making me drop in games or in the midddle of missions and i'd have to restart but gave up in a fit of rage after it did it about 3 times in a row)

ok, well thanks guys for clearing this all up for me. it had me really confused.

ok, so its basically running at 512mb, right? Thanks for the reply you guys.

bump? (does that renew the thread or something, because ive seen that a lot)

Hi, i was doing some research on how to view how much ram my computer is sharing with my ati radeon 4250. My computer has 6 gb of ddr3 ram, so im not worried about sharing too much. However, when i type in "dxdiag" to view my specs and stuff for my video card, it claims that my integrated video card is using "approx. total memory: 2894 MB". Now, im thinking this just can't be right. Anybody care to shed some light on the situation?
