I've never played CM, having got into FM2008 though I feel it would take a lot to beat it. I just love the way the game looks, it's got a fantastic match engine, and things are only looking up, what with the recent release of FM2009 (Not got it yet but am definitely going to!!)

For in-game comms, then Teamspeak and Ventrillo are always going to be a million times better than xfire. However, let's not be so quick to push the program asside. It's great for keeping track of your gaming stats, great as a messenger out of games, as a way of keeping in contact with old gaming mates, and also, it's great for being able to keep track of what games and servers your friends are all playing on.It may not be the best for comms in the games, but for a small little messenger program, it aint bad.

- COD4- PC- <BB>COD4 is and always will be the best game in the COD series. It has everything a great game needs. IMO, COD5 is terribly unbalanced and favours higher ranked players. Plus, with COD4, you just fall in love with the game, it is addictive, and great playability. You don't get any of that with COD5. It was released as a competitor to COD4, but I think it has a VERY long way to go before it can even think of competing with the likes of Modern Warfare.But that's just me. HC S&D FTW!!!

I agree with onscreen. For a first attempt, it is very good and you do seem to have the hang on userbars already. Just follow up on the tips that onscreen gave, and then it will look almost perfect.

I don't know if there's anyways around this, maybe someone can input. Let's say for instance I buy an offline single player game from steam. I enjoy playing it, but I have to connect to steam everytime, to play an offline singleplayer game. I lost my net connection a few months back, and was unnable to play anygame as I was unable to connect to steam to play the game.Is there any way around this? I tried running in offline mode, but that didn't help. MaybeI overlooked something so simple, I dont know, but any and all help would be appreciated.As for whether or not I like steam, it's hard to say. As with everything, it's not perfect and it does have it's pro's and con's. I feel that the cons out weigh the pros though. I mean, I have a 4MB connection. Not great but it's good. Downloading on steam is very limited and can take so many hours to download a game.That's the only thing that really bugs me about steam.

As far as I'm aware, Steam always make the preload for people who have pre-ordered. I have never been a fan of steam. It's fine for managing Day of Defeat, and Counterstrike, games which I purchased on a disk. But I bought one game through Steam for download, and the speed was incredibly slow.But anyways, this is about GTA IV which is going to be incredible. I always love having GTA on PC more than on consoles. But that's just because I'm a PC gamer, and to me the console just will never be good enough.Can't wait for the release. Going to be AMAZING!

Hmmm sounds interesting. Are there any catches to it? We just sign up at your forum, make a few posts, and then we get posts made on ours?

I was originally looking for a host about a year and a half ago, and tried Google. I saw the site, but wasn't really a fan of forums. I didn't see why I should have to post to get hosted. I was a lot younger and a lot more naive then.I then came across another host that used the same format. It wasn't that bad, but the site closed.I was then one day browsing through a web hosting directory, and saw Xisto again. I thought.. "What the heck.." and promptly joined. That was two days ago and the rest, as they say, is all history, be it recent at that.

In my opinion, Burnout is a totally overrated game. The graphics have never been great, the game play becomes really boring after a while and then what are you left with? A game that sits on the shelf, never getting played again. That's just my opinion, and maybe the figures would suggest that there isn't enough burnout fans on the PC to warrant spending millions on releasing to this format.

I wouldn't say at all that I am afraid of dying. I too love life. More than anything and every day I marvel at how wonderful it is. However, at some point, it all has to end. We all know that. Why be afraid of it. What we have to do is make sure that we do live life as best we can. We only get one shot at it, got to make the most of it.

I voted broncos. I have no Idea what the NRL is, I just think that they have a cool name and therefor are worth voting for. Is this Australian Football? Or rugby? Or whatever? Lol I think I might be a bit lost, need to find my way back to England.

As mentioned by joeblogg, because of the vast amount of money that they have available for advertising, when people think of sport, Nike is the name that comes to mind. I like them both. Nikes trainers are better, but Adidas make better clothes. I rate them both the same.

I can't ever confess to ever playing it. It always seemed like too much money. Is it worth buying? Can you give us some good and bad things about it? Would be interested to hear a little bit more about it.

Really? The only thing I found enjoyable about it was the mods. And that was only on the odd occasion. I think CS:S is very limited now. Every time you go on, your having the same experience. The same can be said for other games, but then if you expand your games collection, and not get too hung up on one game, then there is an enjoyable time to be had whilst playing. Having said that, I can't stop playing AA so I can't really say much haha

I can't really compare the two as I have never played any of the halo games. I do own some of the UT series though and they are amazing. I recommend them to anyone who hasn't played any yet... What are you waiting for??
