    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Alternating between Starcraft, Mario Kart DS and Test Drive: Unlimited (PC version), which I found on sale for about 10€ :)

    Point Lookout gameplay footage

    Bethesda - making less Fallout, since 2004 :roll:

    Point Lookout gameplay footage

    Looks booooring, and nothing Fallouty about it. I also liked the music used in the video, though.

    might be getting me a laptop

    Looked pretty OK, except for the battery life (up to 2 hours)

    Console Arcade fun & the decay of an industry

    Well said (or written, whatever). At some point the gaming industry will probably hit some kind of roof where they can no longer grow like this, and the costs companies are taking on today will probably destroy many of them, especially the more shortsighted ones. Hopefully the first companies to...

    Starcraft 2 - It is out there

    Cool videos. StarCraft 2 sure looks very StarCraft, guess I won't be withdrawing my pre-order :) Edit: Has anyone else noticed that Blizzard released a StarCraft patch which now allows for decent CPU throttling? If I'm not mistaken, the original was coded so that it uses a lot of unnecessary...

    Console Arcade fun & the decay of an industry

    I doubt we are heading for anything like the time just before the video game industry crash in the early 80's (though we could probably need the industry to be shaken a bit back towards its roots), but I would definitely say that games nowadays have lost something they had before. I would guess...

    A new Metroid game

    Some of it looks pretty nice, some not so nice. I hope they capture that feeling of loneliness that you could feel, especially when walking around in the Prime games. The intro music felt rather Metroid, at least, always something :)

    Super Mario Galaxy 2

    They do have a tendency to do fairly basic stories with small variations (Zelda series, Mario series etc) and focus almost entirely on gameplay and such. Could be an old habit of Miyamoto's from the days of Super Mario Bros 1. This whole thing with bigger gameplay changes from game to game...

    Fallout 3 hits Guinness Book of Records

    Such a silly thing Guinness has become... :roll: Edit: Brother None, where is that comic from that's in your sig?

    Interplay to be at E3

    Well, as far as I know most game journalists are not real journalists, so maybe they never got to learn about work integrity in the first place? :(

    Fallout 3 Broken Steel Is Out

    As far as I can remember, the original dog was at least quite a good combat ally with many knockdown criticals (though somewhat lacking in intelligence when dealing with forcefields). This one is simply lacking...

    Continuum Submarine Mod

    This is really awesome stuff, Continuum! :clap:

    AMD Phenom 9550 Processor

    I'm running Fallout 3 on a Athlon64 X2 2.3 GHz with a Radeon 4850 (pretty much equal to your videocard), 4 Gigs of RAM and a similar motherboard. It works fine for me (30+ FPS most of the time at 1680x1050 with something like 2xAA and 8xAF, or so) so you should be just fine with that CPU and...

    I See Fields of Green...

    Or a few ranks of Radiation Resistance and a Power Armor :D

    Diablo III April Fools

    Wonderful! I really like Blizzard's jokes :D

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I just finished Star Fox Adventures a few days ago. Pretty nice game, kinda like a more laid-back Zelda or something, and with music sometimes reminding me about watching the Lion King movie as a kid. At times, I would say it looks about as good as Metroid Prime, which is not bad for another GC...

    massively multiplayer online role-playing game

    I have never really gotten into this whole MMORPG stuff, but I am thinking about trying out Star Trek Online once Cryptic releases it, mostly because I'm a big Trek fan and because some of what they said about it sounded different and interesting. Time will tell, though...
