Not that I would ever use their service, but a company taking away free stuff from consumers is always bad. Not to mention the fact they are opening a sealed package that is sold as brand new. They've been doing that for a while for security reasons, but I never like the fact they opened the games. Not that I'll be buying any boxed products in the near future anyway.
I thought Civ 4 was much better. Some of the changes in Civ 5 were good, but many just watered the game down. Civ 4 remains the best in the series by a large margin.
Like someone else said go to GoG.com look through their games. Anything from early 2000's back should run. Look for the type game you like and read some reviews. Buy one for cheap and enjoy.
Biowares biggest mistake was purchasing the Hero engine to run this game. The Hero engine produced great games you've heard about: Champions Online and Star Trek Online.. sarcasm off. The Hero system is ugly with clunky feeling combat.. big freaking mistake buying that to run your multi hundered million dollar game.
I have been thinking the exact same thing today. Wish I knew what the release dates were because if GW2 is out around the same time as SWTOR then there is no point in buying it. If SWTOR is going to be out a few months before I'd keep it I guess.
Definitely the temps. I had the same problem, so I bought compressed air and blew all the crap out of the insides...a cloud of dust and dirt literally puffed out. After that my laptop runs like butter. I have a desktop now for my serious gaming cause I felt handicapped on a laptop :DSerial-No_3404
This plus make sure your pc isn't inside one of those pc cabinets but out in the open where air can get to it. If the power supply is on the bottom and you have carpet floors propping the case on books instead of carpet can help with overheating as well.
