I'm looking for a rather cheap newer graphics card. The only game that I have much interest on the PC right now is Left 4 Dead, and Half Life 2: Episode 3 (once they give some info about it). Now obviously neither of these games with be top of the line graphics since they will both be using the source engine. Currently my PC can run all of the games on The Orange Box, but Portal and Episode 2 require me to lower the settings if I want to play the game smoothly. And seeing as both of these games are reaching about a year of age, I'm guessing that with my current card I'd have to play L4D at the lowest settings and there would still be slow downs because of the large number of enemies on screen. So basically I'm just looking for a card that isn't too expensive and will allow me to play games like that at good settings. Thank you for your help.

It's a great hack n slash. Kinda short, although I spent about 16 hours with it on my first playthrough. If you like hack n slashes and can look past the technical flaws it's a great game.

I am, when the trailer came on before The Dark Knight, my friends and I were just like "Holy **** it's Watchmen!!"
I really hope it'll be good and not just a piece of crap, and if the director decides to focus on action, then it will definitely not be very good. Since that is not the point of the graphic novel at all.

Also what's up with no Captain Metropolis.

[QUOTE="starwarsgeek112"]Don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo, but they really need to learn this whole accessory thing is not good. I don't want to go out a pay an extra $20 to get something that should've been included in the first place or maybe not do anything at all. Now if they include it for free with all new Wiimotes and give free ones for people who already have Wiimotes, then I'll shut up and be happy.Wintry_Flutist

Stop acting as if this accessory is just a piece of plastic. That's an actual improvement over the Wiimote capabilities, and if it wasn't included since the Wii release, it's because they couldn't do it.



We don't know for sure that it will actually improve anything. Even if it does, that doesn't mean I should have to pay for something that should've been in the controller from the first place. Like I said, if Nintendo treats this in a way where people who have been supporting their system for a long time don't get screwed over, then I'll be happy.

It really bothers me when people use African American to describe all black people.. Like they are the only type of black people to ever exist. Seriously what's so bad about calling them black or darker skinned? In this age it doesn't make you sound racist, while saying African American to describe every black person makes you sound like an ignorant fool.

I'd go with Half-Life, one of the best shooters ever made. Also when you're finished with it you'll probably be craving more, so you can just go pick up HL2 and it's episodes. Where as SS2 you'll be stuck playing over the same game. Not that it's a bad game by any means.
