Thumb fest 2011!!!! If I have a job maybe.

Very, the 2500K is at the sweet spot for price to performance, as is the 460.

From Overclockers UK Also as a student you are eligible for this if you need an OS: http://www.software4students.co.uk/Microsoft_Windows_7_Professional_64_bit_Upgrade_Edition-details.aspx EDIT: Being a sandybridge system means there may be a problem with the sata controllers, but it's RMAable.

Build it, prices vary, I'd say £400 plus is the minimum, give us a figure and We'll see what's best.

Sony defence force, look it up and realise that people are moronic.

Steve needs to sop telling his "friends" to come here.

Sombre!

Half-Life: Very fun, mostly aged really well, but god damn that last boss is absolutely terrible to fight, it should have been cut.

The dickhead got fired for being incompetent.

No co-op on phones.

Jim Sterling is a piece of shit and I would gladly punch him in the face if I didn't expect to catch something from doing so.

Bullshit. Don't argue a paradoxical point, things have been developed to make life easier throughout the entire existence of man. Capitalism has directly damaged our medical system, our transport system and our education system. These hyper corporations have bankrupt not only developed countries but also our souls, Nestle, Coke, Tesco, I could go on. The developing world has purposefully been hindered to advance the developing world. These mega corporations are a bad thing, producing so much capital means that they can buy governments off, simply to look away from what they are doing, it's happened here. "Capitalism is indeed organised crime" In the words of the Refused.

Capitalism is a disgusting thing.

They've been put into all PC HL2 games now!

Buy tickets, or give them a call? It's there.

Chaos Theory removed a lot of aspects of the previous 2 titles (Splinter Cell and Pandora Tomorrow) which were a hindered gameplay. There were a lot of interesting ideas in PT and SC, but they didn't work particularly well, or would only work in specified game areas. The ideal play order would be: Chaos Theory Splinter Cell Double Agent (Xbox) Pandora Tomorrow Double Agent (360) Conviction is omitted as it's not a Splinter Cell game, despite being part of the story. The Xbox version of DA is pretty much a mission pack for Chaos Theory, minus Clint Hocking as creative director.

Metro 2033, Far Cry 2, BFBC2, GTA IV PC. But Crysis is pretty solid. vHv7Laj3JiM&t

At this point it's probably only worth playing Chaos Theory. The previous 2 titles simply don't control as well, it's worth going for the PC version if you do this as it has much better textures than the console versions.

Steel Battalion does.

No. There are a lot of things which are more appropriate for PM. such as multipacks of games, phone numbers, addresses and Neptune's Pride names.

Yes, but they aren't on a device I can fit in my pocket. The definition of portable is pretty clear, so it didn't feel necessary to clearly state it. Unless the screen is pretty big no, that would defeat the purposes of the game being portable. The game is too complicated to play on a console, so it would be nigh on impossible to play it on a handheld. A smart phone can run the original, easily, does that mean I want to play it on my phone? No of course not. A touch screen is not suited to an RTS, nor is a controller. On a controller one could have a high APM (actions per minute) however it isn't nearly as efficient as a keyboard 16 buttons opposed to the 43 I use in Starcraft. The problem isn't of the game, nor is it of the capabilities of the system, it's purely based on the input device. Developers have and will continue to work around these problems: RTS Halo Wars, Ruse. fairly valiant attempts to justify RTS can work on a controller FPS Halo TBS Civ Rev, Advance Wars Game design is incredibly fickle when it comes to the input device, Civilization, for example is most definitely a board game, however it would be incredibly impractical to play on a table, with discovery, secrecy and of course the sheer size of a randomised board. Sure certain games can work on multiple platforms but this is very much not the case of all games. I would classify the screen on which you play as an input device, it has a direct correlation to your experience, the screen on my phone or DSi is not a place I want to play an intense action game, I don't want to play Starcraft on a massive TV 5 metres away from me. Sure the handhelds can push the pixels, but really is playing on a handheld ever going to be as immersive as a TV or a monitor? No of course not, until they figure a way of using VR of some sort, which is unlikely because it would affect how people travel, if I'm on a bus or the tube, I want to know exactly where I am, which I can do by simply looking away from the screen. If you look at why the DS is so incredibly successful it isn't due to longhaul games, but ones of a shorter nature: Brain Training, Nintendogs, NSMB, etc. If you have used public transport a lot in the past 5 years you will have seen thousands of different people playing DS games in this exact manner. This isn't to say that there isn't a market, there is, simply put people didn't buy the PSP for games, however instead used it for media consumption.

Portable gaming to me is the ability to play for an incredibly short time, say 5 minutes or less; then also having the ability to spend hours playing said game (hi Pokemon). This is coupled with not wanting to play it on another system. Think of it like a book, I can read a little on a 10 minute bus journey, or a lot on a 4 hour train journey. The DS, like the Gameboy before it, didn't have a little brother mentality behind it's games, it played to it's strengths. Sure there were mistakes getting there, see Mario Land (Theme song Miffy) however this was fixed with it's sequel. Hell, why do you think Pokemon is so incredibly popular? It took the core of a turn based RPG and condensed it to a form which makes sense for a game on the go (1v1 battles, 4 moves per Pokemon, less random battles, etc). The PSP however is very much the little brother of the PS2 and PS3, all the games have the feeling that they want to be as good as the "big boy games". Every time I've played one I get the feeling that this game would be so much better on my TV or monitor, in a similar way to my Wii, I'd rather play it on my 360 or PC, because it looks like crap in 480p opposed to in 720p or 1080p respectively. Starcraft 2 doesn't work on a controller, Halo doesn't work on a handhold.

Forgot Inglourious Basterds.
