If it adds to the story, then I'm fine with it. Like, in Max Payne 2, you saw a boob. It added to the story. It was alright...and nice.Legendaryscmt

LOL I remember that! It's only in the PC version (I wonder why), I have the Xbox version also, but the camera stops panning back when you see Mona's bare ass.

As for my thoughts on nudity, it depends really. Max Payne 2 for instance has a very gritty noir story. The bloody action, the swearing and this nipple slip just makes this a great game with a mature story; much like a great R-rated movie like Die Hard. I say that if it gives developers a better "angle" from a character development or plotline standpoint, by all means do what you need to convey the story. Don't be afraid to censor your own art for the fear of rebuttal from parents. Odds are, this game is obviously NOT for little ones!

If you have a large capacity iPod or portable hard drive, you can install games to them and play on your work computer. Some games don't have to writew to the registry to run, so experiment with games you have. A few of my favorites are Halo Custom Edition and Quake (demo). These are great if you want to lan with other guys in the office. If so inclinded, you could install World of Warcraft and play on free servers. Keep in mind that if installing to an iPod it takes a bit, as flash memory isn't as fast as a hard drive.

No, I'm on XP. I have noticed that if I click the mouse several times or whail on the keyboard briefly, it stays with the program. I just don't know how else to fix it.

This is absolutely annoying: whenever I launch a game, the screen goes black as it's about to load menu's and it switches to my desktop. I try to switch back, but it does it again! I can hear the menu music, so that means it's working. The lamest part is that this wasn't happening last night.... Any remedies?

It's an extremely hard draw against Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Ocarina or Conker.....

Just wondering, does EGM still have that returning feature in the back where this guy reviews godawfully horrible games? I still remember when he reviewed Barbie Horse Adventures where he said "I don't need some plastic slut to tell me my horse looks good." ROFL

That is EXACTLY what I had before. When I went ape s*** last Christmas I bought all new parts for a first time build, that was the card to get. MAJOR difference, is it not?

I would also recommend a CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 750 watt PSU. I got one to run the 9800 gx2 and it runs like a dream. Since the GTX 280 looks like a gx2 I'm sure the power requirements may be the same and will possibly require an 8 pin PCI-E connector in addition to one 6 pin PCI-E connector. That's just wishful thinking, as it will probably be different as soon as it's discussed further.

LOL watch Ubisoft make Far Cry 2 a non mouse supported game a la RE4. THAT would be Ubi's answer to optimisation.
