    Are they making Battlefield 3 for PC?

    Wouldn't that be battlefield 2142 ?

    Can we stop complaining about game security?

    I don't know what all the new and different security measures are that are being referred to here but I have ceased to buy games that require steam activation because it's too much of a hassle. If what you're all referring to is true with a revolving 10 day check i'd have to get a cracked...

    Desires for the ultimate RTS

    I don't know how I forgot about it but anyone remember BattleZone ?! A truely brilliant game that has had no run on effect to other games. (The sequel doesn't count !) How cool was it to build your base, gather an army and then join them on the attack ! Did your ship get wasted ? hell, eject...

    Best Old School PC Games

    I spent a couple of days trying to get Warzone to run on XP a fwe months back and I was having grief. I went online to find a cure and was stunned to find it is now a free download ! http://warzone-2100.en.softonic.com/ Impressive compression too ! It was a 2 cd game whe I purchased it many...

    Best Old School PC Games

    WINGS on the amiga 500 For a story line and addiction I reckon that had me ruined for ages. Warzone 2100 One of the Best RTS's ever. The story and the freedom to design and execute units and attacks is still IMHO unequalled. Also the unique features like having the option to get a unit to...

    Desires for the ultimate RTS

    My mate just came up with a good one. Bridges ! I know they are available in the earth 2150 series but it wasn't always possible to deploy and build one where ever you wanted. I know it's probably unrealistic to span great oceans with a bridge but then again it is a game and most of the units...

    Desires for the ultimate RTS

    I'm with you Infornagraphy, I'm disappointed with the non experimental units lack of diversity and usefullness in SupCom. Maybe i'm just crap at the game but I feel ripped off with limited choices I have when it comes to building units. Also the age old hidden unit/building search at the end...

    Desires for the ultimate RTS

    Yeah Supreme Commander is pretty good although the lack of unit types is a bit annoying that and it took a couple of go before i'd remember to get aircraft to patrol rather than go to a location only to find them on the ground getting wasted by land units. I find the attack function is usually...

    Desires for the ultimate RTS

    OK here is something that's been annoying the hell out of me for ages and here is as good a place as any to have a whinge ! Also it's in the PC section because you just can't play a proper RTS on a console. In the late 90's Warzone 2100 came out and ruined my work and social calendar for...

    Killernotebooks

    Well here's the update ! It arrived this afternoon and I promptly installed 3Dmark 06 to see what it can do. Scored 14421 straight out of the box ! Lovely. I still can't understand vista though, anything I do on it still seems to take just that little bit longer than it would on XP. Now i'm...

    Right, Many thanks for the contact info Worminator ! I've just got off the phone to him and he's been busy creating a recovery DVD for his systems to help people out. He updated me on what I needed to know so all is good in the world now ! I can now go back to staring at my unopened copy of...

    Cheers Worminator, it's nothing technical. I was originally expecting delivery around now but the last email I got from him was almost two weeks ago informing me there was a delay in the release of something he needed for the system. I've been emailing him since to find out what it was and when...

    I was contacting him via the sales@ email address without any problems, and yes it was via his website and not just a random forum poster ! cheers worminator ! I suspect he is just having a a break or something personal has come up preventing him form emailing. It's just i've pre purchased a...

    Killernotebooks

    Hi all I've just recently handed over some of my hard earned cash for a killernotebook, which as far as i'm concerned seems to be the best custom built laptop you can get. I've tried emailing the guy (Mark I think his name is) quite a few times during the last week and a bit and haven't had...
