Hey guy's,

I'm new to Total War games and RTS games in general..I'm thinking about getiing Empire Total War for my first RTS experience..My question is this game a good start for a beginner? I mean is it easy to get a hang of or is it really complicated? thanks in advance..

So i just bought fallout 3, which i was so excited about, the installation went fine, the game starts fine, but when i try to make a new game it goes to the load screen it just says fallout 3 has stopped working...blah blah blah, help!

and i dont think its because i dont meet the requirements. Im running a geforce 8600 gt, 4 gigs of ram, 250 gigs of free hardware space, and an

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850.

PLEASE HELP ME!

Hi,

I have just bought Fallout 1, and it is patched to V2.0. I have read that this increases the time limit, yet for me it still says that I only have 150 days to find the waterchip. Any help?

Top five from most playteed to least.

1) Mount and Blade : Timeless Kingdoms (mod)

What a great game. Graphics aside, these types of games should be made more often. There are mods to help the game look better too.

2) Saints Row 2

Played this for big chunk but not going to touch it until THQ makes another patch. Many people are getting 2-3 second stops during gameplay when the game loads new areas. Makes the game unplayable when driving. It's like a freeze stop, then teleport into a wall.

3) Medieval 2 Total War : The long road (mod)

This mod makes the game pace much slower, and more difficult overall. Diplomacy also has been tweaked so it's actually useful. Getting trade rights with Hungrary and 3000 flourins? Hells ya.

4) Team Fortress 2

Been playing this a lot but stopped lately due to too many scouts. Oooh an upgraded class, time to slave away.

5) Mass Effect

2nd run through, playing the same type of class, higher difficulty = more tactics = more fun.

How 'bout youz?

GTA IV is much better for me after the second patch, now i dont lag as much as before. For a comparism, i ran all settings on high except view distance and textiures, set to medium, and first time i played it ran on 10-15 fps. After the first and second patch, im running it up to 20+fps , max can go to 35fps.

As for Saints RoW 2,havent played it, but it's good to get GTA IV now, mods are starting to roll in too.
