Hmmm. Good insofar as some annoying things about the first one have been
sorted out. But it's very samey now ... I think the multiplayer is the real
selling point here.

Does anybody recall why the Half-Life engine was never ported to the
Mac? It's not like Mac users wouldn't like to play these kind of games.
Quake, Unreal, and Halo were ported to name just a few.
Darn, I want to get rid of my PC and can't because I got this HL

An excellent read about of the best artists in gaming.

"But like many innovators, Looking Glass was often ahead of its time.

Ever since I bought the game a few years ago, I haven't been able to
run Carmageddon 2 because of some unidentified error.  It just
wouldn't run at all.  We bought a new computer recently and I hadn't
installed my gamepad, and everything's been working great.  Then, I

When I complete the "Rub Out" mission to kill the guy in the mansion,
the screen goes white and doesn't recover. I've tried it six or seven
times now, using different game saves. Any suggestions?
Are there any mission-bypass cheats?

Monolith has written a totally new engine, leaving Lithtech behind.
F.E.A.R. will be the first game using the new engine. Doom 3 and Half
Life 2 are going to be the early leaders but they have basically
raised the standard that all games are going to have to start

My name is Gary Stollman and I am the person who in August of 1987 crashed the
live set of KNBC TV in downtown Burbank, California, and forced Consumer
Advocate David Horowitz to read a prepared statement about how the CIA and
alien beings had replaced my family and friends with ...

After installing this game under Windows XP I discovered
the keyboard never responded after starting the game.  
Then I found a patch for it and installed the patch (well,
copied the files into the game directory).

Hey, just picked up DK2 for $1.99 USD at Kmart.  Box didn't say anything
about OS, but apparently this older game has trouble with XP.
I patched it to what appears to be the latest version, 1.70.
It crashes often, but I'm already hooked so I'm tolerating it.  The extra

A guy has posted about playing Far Cry with the PS 3.0 patch at E3. He
has a couple of grainy screenshots taken with his PDA camera plus
there is now a video his buddy took of the screen while he was trying
it out.

Damn this needs some patching.
Why are all the options screens in 800x600?
Why are the game servers screens broken and therefore not able to be sorted
in order of ping and in constant need of updating?

I have a hard time believing gamers who actually wanted to get into show
shelled out $300 for the badge. I went a few a years ago and paid $150. They
keep raising the price to prevent the general public from getting in. Yeah,
I know it's for the industry but if you have a business ...

Is anyone else totally in the dark during the first 'sneaky' level?  Is
there a brightness or gamma control somewhere that I have missed?
This seems like a great game otherwise, so this is a bit frustrating...

Remember the 1970s?  Post elsewhere.

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES DID NOT
PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE

EBGames lists it preorder for $55. Best Buy for $60.
Seems someone in the game making process of Doom3 decided its going to
cost $15-20 more than the average game cost.
If it beats or equals FarCry gameplay, I'd say the cost is well worth
