Far Cry 3 is graphically spectacular and the game play is not too shabby either. Maybe if you bring your AA setting down to maybe 4, you can squeeze a little bit more frames off your gpu with not much difference in eye-candy. But 35-40 fps consistently in ultra setting I think is pretty darn...

Congrats on your first build. For tracking frame rates, I use this: http://www.fraps.com/. It's a good, simple to use program.

Thanks.

Well, the quality of game play and substantive story line is the least of my worries now. I am having a problem just starting the game. Keep getting the APPCRASH error and can't figure out why. This is also true with some of the games I DL'd from steam. It is irritating to say the least.

Although I'm not a big fan of third person shooters, based upon your recommendation, I'm gonna try this one. Thanks.

Far Cry 3 - My Take (not a review) I am half-way through the game (pc version-single player ) as of this writing and I can say that it is an excellent game, that is if you are into FPS in general and far cry in particular. If you were disappointed with FC2 (as the majority of FC fans did...

Glad you're enjoying halo 4. I played the first one way back in the early 2k but didn't really follow the series after that. I agree with yourbeliefs. Alienware rigs are awesome machines if money is not an object. I mean they are really geared for gaming. And they look pretty. If your main...

I only play pc games, so can't really get excited about halo 4. What I am looking forward to playing is far cry 3. I think it's coming out Dec 4. Far cry 2 is a big dissapointment in terms of game play, but hopefully fc3 will be a big improvement. But you just don't know with these games...

It also depend upon the level of difficulty you are playing. If you play the hardened or veteran difficulty, I'm pretty sure the game will take more than 5-6 hours even if you play it non-stop. I am playing it at the hardened difficulty and some of the levels are pretty darned tough.

I am playing the pc version and so far I haven't heard any curse words yet. I am now in the third level I believe (safe house). There is a little bit of gore (blood) but you can turn that option off if you wish. I don't think you can turn off speech not unless you turn mute on, or set the...

Well, I'll reserve judgement until I play the full game. I played the demo and as short as it is, I enjoyed playing it. Pretty intense game play and the graphics are pretty good. For hardcore fps gamers, I think this is a must buy. In my opinion, if you play any fps game at easy or normal...

Thanks for the info. Just dl'ed it. Looks awesome.

If you don't know yet, the demo version of the much awaited first person shooter crysis will be available September 25. Official game release date is November 16 (hopefully, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on this). The release date has been a moving target for a while. Whether a console...

Both correct. The DVD has to be in the hd dvd format also even if you have the 360 hd dvd add on. An oversight on my part.

If you don't have the add on hd dvd, you're stuck at 480p.

Another problem I have with the xbox 360 and the up and coming ps3 is that to really enjoy these consoles to the max, you need to have a high definition capable lcd/plasma monitor which at this point in time are still pricey.

Totally! What kind of drug was that guy on. I want some. IMHO, consoles will never ever replace the PC, not even for gaming. Two different technologies, two different markets. Consoles are just for plain gaming, pc's for whatever you want to use it for. In terms of gaming, if I can't hook...

Here's a good website regarding this subject: http://www.keohi.com/keohihdtv/experttips/markrejhon/htpc_superguide.html

Well, I won't profess to be an expert on this subject matter, because I'm not, but I think regardless of what aspect ratio you select on COD2 or any game for that matter that supports 16:9, will fill up the whole screen. So, what you are experiencing with COD2 I think is quite normal. I could...

I have a 27" HDTV and I play COD2 and HL2 at 16:9 with no problem. If you went to the graphics option and selected 16:9 aspect ratio and you have a widescreen, I don't see any reason why you can't play the game in that format. My question is how did you determine that you are not in ws(16:9)...
