    Cant believe you forgot to mention Masters of Orion 3

    This game is going to be the bees knees.

    UT was released this weekend, and from early looks it sounds like its gonna be kickass.. However the minimum requirements are a bit steep
    Circa:
    1.8Gig cpu
    384 MB ram
    64 Mrg Graphics card

    I assume you mean unreal 2 ...

    Those specs are wrong - they're the "recommended" specs afaik. It will run on a 32mb graphics card and a lesser cpu with only 256mb of ram, but you'll have to tone down the (gorgeous) graphics quite a bit :) I have to say I like this game a lot.

    Isnt that expensive for 6months of fun, think of how many single player games you would have to buy for 6months of gaming.

    If i buy Halo it will be for multiplayer only as IMO it was so over-rated on xbox,apparently bungie say they have to totally change AI placements so as to compensate for the fluid mouse control as AI on xbox title would be too easy with a mouse and keyboard compared to sloppy pad controls.
    I did have some fun linking up with some friends on Halo but was very short lived.
    IMO Planetside,Chrome and Breed will all wipe the floor with Halo.

    half life pfft


    thats so g4y there are so many better games out there than halflife the only reason why it still has replay value is coz of the "TOTAL CONVERSION" mods the game itself is old and you hardly get any satisfation out of it anymore.

    except for those select few who like to replay it everynow and then
    nothing against that its just that im sick and tierd of people saying halflife is the best game ever coz its not

    there now that felt good

    It's about time that the pc got a decent line-up. However the consoles line-ups are still the daddy at the moment.

    Hey, is every1 forgetting StarCraft Ghost?
    that looks like.

    TBH Breed looks alot like Halo, well see though.
    Also Cenega will be launching Shade, whih hopefully will do better than Another War.
