    Terminator: Salvation

    I didn't see a thread for this, so I figured I'd see if anyone else has been playing it. I rented it from Blockbuster yesterday and I got through the first 4 levels in about an hour and a half. The shooting is alright but trying to get around the back of the same 3 enemies in every fight is...

    Phenom Tri-Core vs. Athlon XP

    So I was putting together a new build (for a friend) using the Athlon XP 6000+ Black Edition, but before I was able to order it, Newegg deactivated the item. The regular 125W 6000+ (3.1 Ghz) is still available, but for only a few dollars more, they are selling a 2.1Ghz Phenom. Anyway, I know...

    Another Gaming Laptop question

    I'm a hardware guy, but I mostly build PCs with AMD, so I'm not entirely sure what the performace is like in newer Intel chips. Basically, I'm looking for a low-midrange laptop to play WoW, Red Alert 3 and Steam games (L4D, TF2, Bioshock.). I travel for work, so I wanted something smaller -...

    Need help finding a good Microwave

    I've bought 2 microwaves in the last month that have both bombed out on me. One was an Emerson from Target, and another was (I forget the brand) from Sears. I had no idea that you needed to do research on this sort of thing, I though they just worked. Anyway, its got to be a counter top...

    Space Siege - Demo out now

    http://www.gamershell.com/download_30104.shtml Yes, its basically Dungeon Siege in space. But I tried the demo and thought it was pretty good. It looks a lot better, and I think the graphics have a nice Mass Effect look to it (lots of blue.) Actually it reminds me a lot of Shadowgrounds, but...

    Psi-Ops free (Ad Supported) on fileplanet

    Psi Ops has joined the ranks of Far Cry and a few other Ubi games that are now free from Fileplanet. I downloaded this last night and so far the only ad's I've seen are during loading screens. Nothing that hampers gameplay. I actually have this game for the Xbox, but without it being BC, this...

    Tabula Rasa Re-enlistment

    For all of you who picked this up for $10 at Target, played the free month and canceled, they are offering a free week of play. I just logged into PlayNC to check my account, and it's active. I figure I'll give it a few hours this weekend to see if I still find it slightly boring...

    Mouse suggestions?

    I've been using my Microsoft Optical for years, but its starting to act up on me. Anyone have any suggestions on a good mouse replacement that may be used for gaming? I don't think I'm hardcore enough to warrant one of those insane diamond-cutting laser models, I'm looking for something thats...

    Best trade-in deal on crap games?

    I have about 20-30 really really terrible games I've accumulated cheaply in the last few years that I want to get rid of and maybe trade-in for GH2 or something. Any advice that would give me the best value for them? I only have FYE, Gamecrazy and EBs around my area, and I'm not an Edge card...

    Need Help Selecting a Mover

    I'm moving from the NY - Jersey suburbs to the Philadelphia- NJ suburbs in the middle of September. However, unlike a few years ago when I moved out of my parents house, I have a lot more stuff coming with me (couches, wife, HDTV, office funiture, etc.). So I really need to hire a mover, and...

    Ipod Dock for the Car?

    I drive a Chevy Equinox with a factory installed CD player. No frills, no changer, no Aux input. I'd love to be able to use my Ipod in my car, but I'm sure I'd have to buy some sort of adapter for the stereo itself, and then have it installed into the wiring? My main problem is, the car is a...

    RTS for Beginners?

    After playing WoW for a while, I picked up WC3 to see a little more of the story and I ended up really digging the gameplay. I've heard that the Blizzard RTSs are really some of the easier, more forgiving on the genre, and I doubt I'm ready for some of the more difficult ones, so does anyone...

    Red Star finally released!

    See: Under the Radar. I completely forgot about this game for the last two years. I remember playing an Xbox demo of it a while back, but hearing that Acclaim went under and it would never see the light of day. So when I was cruising 1up today, I saw a review. They give it a 7.5 and call it a...

    Another "Build Suggestions" thread...

    I haven't upgraded my computer in about 3 years, and while I was helping a friend get ready for his A+ exam, it sort of gave me the bug to upgrade. I picked out a bunch of parts on Newegg that I thought struck a good balance between budget and performance, and since I really only play WoW and...

    $20 off Consoles at NJ Shop-Rite? YMMV

    This is strange. I was buying some groceries at the Rochelle Park, NJ Shop-Rite on Saturday afternoon, and I noticed a sign by the entrance for a PSTwo system for $109 with the (free) Price Plus card. I walk over to the Photo counter where they normally keep the few electronics they have, and...

    Formating a Vista Install

    This may be a little above the heads of the CAG forums, but I figured I would test the nerdocity of you guys for a minute. When the Vista Beta 2 came out, I figured I'd give it a try on my new laptop. I had a 100GB HD and split it into 2 partitions. I put XP Pro on the C: and then installed...

    MOH: Pacific Assault $10 at Target YMMV

    Did a search and didn't see this posted. I was at a few Targets this weekend in the NJ area (dont ask) and I saw Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault for $10 at each one of them. This wasn't a clearance item, it had the normal yellow and white Target price tag that read Price Drop. Also, this is...

    Rear Projection LCD Burn-in?

    I'm on the cusp of getting my first HDTV after a few day of research, and the one bit of info I havent been able to get a straight answer on is if the Rear Projection LCD's have burn in. Some articles say that LCD's don't have burn in, while others say that all Rear Projection TVs have them...

    Is the public even ready for Blu-Ray?

    I suppose this discussion could be about HD-DVD also, but Sony seems to be depending on Blu-Ray as driving their console sales, while Microsoft seems to just want to stay on equal footing. Anyway, has anyone even considered that the "next gen dvd" formats may BOTH go the way of the Laserdisc...
