GameSpot "Halo 2, the long-awaited sequel to one of the most widely praised, most influential first-person shooters ever created, has a very tough act to follow. Fortunately, it's built on a foundation that's as strong as they come. The game's success was preordained--publisher Microsoft tallied more than 1.5 million Halo 2 preorders in the weeks leading up to the game's release, which demonstrates just how confident Halo's fans are in the sequel's quality. But how is it, really? The good news is, the sequel to the Xbox's defining action game is an absolutely superb, fully featured game, boasting an excellent presentation, a highly replayable campaign, and the greates…

Trillian 3 Sneak Preview Trillian v3.0 Alpha Impressions "I’d like to elaborate on some of these features, the first of which being Trillian’s signature containers. Instead of having several message windows open for each buddy, you can choose to create one container (essentially a major window that holds multiple, smaller windows), and throw all your open chats into there. Containers can be based on your buddies’ medium (AIM, MSN, etc.) or listing (Contacts, My Buddies, Recent Buddies, etc.)." ..... "Many users, including myself, found great fault in v2.0’s file transfer options. When the feature did work, it was often limited, slow, and performed erratically. I…

R480/R430 taped out and running "R480 is ATI's December PCIe update while R430 will be a cheaper core that will replace some of the slower X800 cards. We still have to investigate the R430 but we see it as an NV41 competitor."

Exclusive Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict "Xequted: We’ve heard that the Midway deal consists of one Xbox title and two PC titles that are centred around multiplayer action. Is there a chance of slipping in a single-player adventure somewhere along the line? Mike: (Laughs) You mean like Unreal Championship 2 has a strong single player?! If you’re talking about Unreal 3, we’d all love to do that game, but it’s not on the books right now…we haven’t even discussed design ideas or anything yet. We’re working very hard on a Microsoft project -which hasn’t been announced- and we’ve already begun production on one of those PC titles for Midway, it’s in the Unrea…

Battlefield 2 Q&A on GameSpot "GS:We're told that Battlefield 2 will feature a conflict in a fictitious Middle Eastern country between US and Middle Eastern forces. Is there anything else that you can tell us about the setting? We imagine that there will be plenty of desert and urban-style battlefields, but are there any others you can tell us about? SD: Actually, the Middle East is only half the battle. Battlefield 2 will also ship with conflicts taking place in Manchuria, pitting the US against China. The battles here will take place in settings very far removed from the desert settings of the Middle East. The Chinese Army has the most modern weapons, some …

Lots of games not enough spots to list all of them in the vote. I tried to mix it up and throw in some old ones for fun to start and to get you guys thinking on what you might like to play. Remember just about anything is up for grabs, as long as everyone can play together. Concerning mods and maps, mostly mods, we'd like to stick with mods that are widely excepted like Desert Combat for BF 1942. Maps we'll keep to the standard shipped with the games, unless its like a case of Doom3 where the maps are only really made for 4 people. Along the way we'll start throwing in new maps and stuff to keep it interesting so we'd like to avoid that stuff for now. If thi…

sorry but we are running out of time to do a descent poll depending on how many days you want to run it for. I would suggest 4-5 days so i would get it up in the next 2-3 days so that way you can give people 5-7 days warning on what games r gonna be played so everyone can get the games installed and patched.

ATI Radeon X700 XT / PRO Review "Rather than being based on R300, RV410's architecture is taken from R420 which results in X700 having longer pixel shader instruction capabilities and 3Dc normal map compression. The memory bus is also based on the new programmable memory bus from R420, which allows for much higher memory clock rates than any R300 based part, thus enabling X700 to utilise higher performance memory, making up a little for the lack of 256-bit memory bus." "If one of X700's goals was to bring last years high end performance down to a mainstream price then, for the most part they've succeeded with the X700 XT outperforming the 9800 PRO in most graphic…
