The beginning parts can be quite dull. Like I said, it gets better the later you go into the game. I played it on 1gb of RAM too and loading times were faster than Far Cry for me. I have yet to experience any game breaking bugs and I only got the sky glitch once (when the sky begins to artifact...

You can't tell if you hit them? Well if you manage to get a headshot they will die instantly unless they are wearing head protection like the guys wearing the exoskeleton armors but even then a couple headshots will take them out. Usually if you hit a human enemy lets say in the chest they...

The ballistics are actually most realistic of any FPS I have played so far. You have to also look at the ratings of the weapon you are firing. The weapons you get at the beginning are not going to be as lethal or accurate as the better weapons you get later on. I think in terms of ballistics...

So you base your review on a pirated copy and only after 20 minutes? Not a valid review IMO more like an initial opinion. Anyways, here is my review. I bought a legitimate version and I played for about 14-15 hours. Here is my take: Pros: OPEN AREAS - very refreshing for a FPS title...

The sexiest games I have ever played are the ones in bed with my gf. ;)

It would be stupid for game devs to stop supporting SM 2.0 anytime soon anyways since most people won't upgrade to Vista and hence will not have DX10.

Really? I thought HL2's graphics were better than Far Cry and I thought HL2: EP1's graphics were better than F.E.A.R. But it's all subjective anyways. As for HL1 vs HL2... When HL1 came out it was revolutionary. Its design singlehandedly changed how FPS were to be designed from that day forth...

None of those are the most addictive. The most addictive game ever has to be WOW (not for me personally tbh I have never even played it) but just look at the number of people paying monthly to play that game. Diablo 2 has to be up there as well. When I was younger I knew many people who were...

HL franchise and by quite a far margin. Before HL1, Jedi Knight took the crown. Duke 3D before that. Rise of the Triad will always have a special place in my heart.

Can you list your GPU?

It's all subjective but I consider games like HL2 a classic and I'm sure many people can name other recent games as well like Oblivion and etc. As for CS 1.6 I don't find it that much different than 1.5 on WON in terms of fun factor. I guess when you get older gaming can seem less fun. What I...

Oh I just posted a question about this in another thread on here.

I heard the game comes installed with spyware...is that true?

Hmmm. Most people I know including myself went back to 7.5. The display pictures seemed to be screwed up. When I was IMing people who were using 7.5 with Live I couldn't see their display picture in the conversation window. Other than that the display pictures were fine. The most frustrating...

Now first let me say I know there are many better IM programs like trillium but most of the people I know use MSN so it is my primary IM app. I was previously using 7.5.0324 and I kept on getting these annoying alerts about Live Messenger so I decided to install it. I'm assuming the current Live...
