Ahaha, that's right. Someone gave me their copies of Splinter Cell and Pandora Tomorrow, and I actually wouldn't mind playing those. I also have Brothers in Arms on the 4-in-1 games DVD that came with my old Sapphire x1900, that was a pretty good game too (if the demo was any indication)

I tried playing that just now...unfortunately pings of 250+ make it impossible to get anywhere. No other servers running these maps/gamemode?

A lot actually, however finding one where you ping well might be an issue. Could try doing a search and limiting results to around your location.

C&C3 - Almost finished with the GDI singleplayer. A fast-paced enjoyable game.

Indigo Prophecy - Missed this game when it first came around. Really enjoying the storyline and gameplay.

I had some RSI so my playtime was limited for it, but I've been playing Resistance again last night, finally reached the outskirts of london. Other than that it's been Rub-a-Duck and a little Go!Sudoku (online play is quite ok).

I have just ordered MGS PO, which is releasing in 4 days here in Europe, as well as God of War 2, and Buzz! Mega Quiz (and Music Quiz, while I was at it). My SO and family in general is hot on quizzing, so should be fun. Hopefully not too many obscure references to Brittishisms, as there isn't a localised version for the Netherlands it seems.

Doom 3. One of the best, most atmospheric games ever. Also it's good for a few jumps.

- GT Legends on desktop
- Worms World Party (adhoc WLAN) and OpenTTD (Mostly Single Player) on laptop while traveling long distances.

...and of course quite few golden classics on Commodore 64 as party play.

EDIT: ah... I almost forgot... Track Mania United and Richard Burns Rally also are in the list. both are played in hot seat mode (aka. Party Play.)

Unreal 2. And I noticed something really neat. The voice of Marshall Dalton is also the same guy who does the voice of the male Redguard/Baurus in Oblivion and Morrowind. I actually IMDB'd it:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0533053/

That guy is a great voice actor.

Still playing Splinter Cell 1, just doing the CIA Infiltration mission...loving every minute of this game. Ironside is my god.

Anyone have any idea why AA is simply refusing to work? I've got a profile setup in ATT with AA set to 2x, though i've also tried 4x and Temporal AA (x1900xt). No matter what I try, even alt-tabbing ingame and changing the AA mode, results in nothing but jaggies. After reading the archives from years gone by on the official forums, I note that people were happily using AA by forcing it in their control panel, or through ATT...but it's just refusing to work for me.

Hmm, I always thought that AA didn't work with the first Splinter Cell, or at least it was one of the early SP games. The first SP games is the only one I've truly enjoyed. The second was rather good, and the third and forth major let downs.

Any technical reason for that? Or was it simply stated that it "Does not work" and never elaborated on...

I can't believe an UE2.0 game just flatout can't enable AA. is it something to do with the lighting or filter effects? (thermal vision, nightvision and so on).

...becuause they use render to texture for soime effects and the api(d3d8,9a) didn't allow the developers to use AA with RtT.

Ahh right. Well I managed to find a tweak online that allows AA to function, however it produces the occasional issue with reflections for me (lighting issues for everyone else apparently), where the reflection off a distant building will move slightly with my view after I look at it with nightvision turned on.

But damn does the game look so much better with AA enabled, and it still runs perfect. I'm having a hard time choosing between perfect lighting/reflections and no AA, or stuffed reflections and sweet, smooth AA

Two Worlds

Game was released in Germany this week. If you play games like Elder Scrolls/Gothic series then you want to get this when it`s released in your area.
This game is nice and big, I`ve played for about 6 hours now and I have just been from the north end near Yamalin towards Tharbakin and to the east Brunhill (check this map: http://www.2-worlds.com/images/geo/Antaloor.jpg )
Also some nice technical features, the loading times are amazingly short.

Just played through Tales of Symphonia for the first time in a number of months, and am working through Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic now. I expect next I'll probably start another game on Oblivion.
