Uhm well yeah. Bigger does not equal better in terms of games. If you want big then check out World War II: Online, it got a map that is an exact replica of europe but in 1:2 scale.

Warhammer is very similair to WoW, this is understandable since the mix of staff and initial ideas which then took separate paths. Even so the two games are very different. Galaxies was a failure, blaming it on WoW is stupid, it clearly lacked the feeling of a great and well developed game. Blizzard have been around for ages, they simply know their stuff. Now BioWare is also high on my list of respected developers. That is why I have high hopes on this game. Althou I doubt it will have the same action game feeling that WoW managed to capture, as an RPG I still think it will be eons better than Galaxies, infact I would be greatly disappointed if it wasn't.

Next week I'm getting my upgrade, going to start picking off my list, first up is Mass Effect and Warhammer Online: AoR.

I used to have old DOS games from the 90's but I gave that computer away a while back but I still have some older DOS games like Duke Nukem II, Cybermage and old shareware games like Rise of the Triad, Hocus Pocus, Raptor, Wacky Wheels, Blake Stone. But these are all the games I could remember that I have off the top of my head, I am pretty sure I am missing some.

I actually like Quake 3 even though there wasn't much of a single player, for me personally, the worst was Quake I, the game was all brown looking. I think one of the founders of ID, John Carmack also said it was the worst of the three. I still like Quake I and still remember the last boss I killed where you teleport inside the boss and it explodes in bursts of guts and blood. I think the other reason is I like it less of all the three because it didn't make use of 3D acceleration, well at least not initially, because 3D accelerators were still in it's infancy in 1996, I think the only one on the market was the 3DFX Voodoo I. I still like the game and it brings back fond memories thinking about it, but it didn't have the "wow" factor when it came out, like Quake II & III. I am a huge ID fan, I have played practically all their games from Wolfenstein, Doom Series, Quake Series, and to Doom 3. Looking forward to their new game Rage.

Sweet, I think mean you have the same kind of monitor. Is yours black with a stand in the middle and have 2ms written in the corner? I got you beat in the Graphics department though . Speaking of Graphics I am curious as to what settings & resolution you run Crysis & Crysis Warhead?
