If you want to waste time:

CS:S (CounterStrike: Source)

CS: DM ('' '' : Death Match)

What types of games you into? Mainly FPS?

Wait a few months. Hopefully your find something among them that last for the next 2 year dry season. meh.

As for now I'm playing EVE and a lot of steam games. DODsource (recently obsessed but burned out with it), zombie master, garry's mod is always fun.

Check out RE4, i hear it didn't port over as well as hoped, but it really is an AMAZING game. I think its good enough to over look the glitches. Hopefully they will patch it some.

One of the best games from the last generation of consoles for sure!

I actually purchased a gamecube to play it, kinda regret selling it.

Sure you will have to run the game on all low settings and you won't get the massive eye candy like the max will..but I'm saying what the min is to run it.. and accually from what I've been reading that those that I posted are slightly above what the min would really be. Kinda like BF2, people still run that game on vid cards lower than a 6600 and don't argue about how choppy it is. Alot of it is going to depend on Microsoft with Vista adjustments, DX10 enhancements, and Graphics drivers.

yeah sucks.. Amazon is saying Nov 13th.... hard to tell at this point but I did remember reading somewhere the other day a Nvidia rep leaked that they were waiting on it around Oct-Nov so with that meaning the last possible day :rolleyes:


But hey, as long as it kicks ass and I don't have to worry about stat crap like BF2 and can run a kick ass server of it I don't care if its released next year!
