What kinds of game you have?

I myself have a whole bunch of simulation games. I love em can't get enough.

1.) The Sims Complete Collection (was the best back in its day)

2.) The Sims 2 (currently the best life simulator)
a.) (Expansions) University
b.) Pets
c.) Night-Life

3.) Microsoft flight simulator x (if you ask me the best flight simlulator game you can get, cuz it sure did cost enough hah)

I'll get some picutures to post the graphics.

Hola stranger. I mostly play flash games, it's a pain to slog through a thousand of them to fine one good one, though.

i like most RPGs, racing, and shooters .............. i take pride in my skill with a joystick. although i am no stranger to PC. games the half-life series was really good and i would like to find a computer that could play crysis without lagging that wont burst a gigantic hole in my savings.........but thats never going to happen

Why you want to be playing with rocket propelled grenades, or is that the report program generator language you are programming in.

As for taking pride in your skill with a joystick - first understand what a joy stick is (or what it was before WWI pilots tried to think of something to call the stick that came up between their legs).

RPG: role playing game, examples include final fantasy, enchanted arms, star wars: knights of the old republic. there are also MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role playing games) which include world of warcraft, runescape, maplestory, and 2nd life but i dont bother with MMORPGs

and by joystick i hope you mean the stick they used to control the aircraft

I love my joystick :)

thats nice dude (+_+)

Yes, I knew - it was tongue in cheek - because RPG is a massively overloaded TLA.

and by joystick i hope you mean the stick they used to control the aircraft

It is what the word came to mean, but it was previously used to mean something else that stuck up between the legs (and could bring 'joy').  The term was used by analogy (and possibly as the instructors were trying to persuade their pupils the handle the stick gently).

I don't normally play games on the PC but only last week I bought a new Graphics card, a Gforce 8500 pci-e with 1gb on board memory and have been testing it for games in Linux using openGL.

I was using the on-board 250mb Gforce 6200 graphics but changing cards has made a great difference so perhaps performance is now mainly down to the graphics gpu and not so much the pc.

I like the old fashioned? SP shootemups like Doom3 and Quake4 and a dedicated Linux one called Saurebraten (cube2 engine).

Others that I have enjoyed playing in Windows in the past were adventure games. Broken Sword 1 & 2 I enjoyed as they were challenging, sometimes annoying but fun.

the best game for PC that Ive played was half life 2, which i need to get to half life 3....the funny thing was when i beat it i was in fourth grade and it was downloaded on one of the computers

for console i would have to say chromehounds without a doubt. i like the ability to build your own custom made mech and join a squad just to blow other squads up, that and theres nothing like launching 8 napalm bombs on a stationary base just to watch it burn to the ground

Alright! Someone else whose heard of it!

Roaming through the streets of NYC, battling soldiers and mutants, absorbing memories and body mass to upgrade yourself, certainly sounds exciting. But so did Two Worlds and Turning point and those games suck.

Usually when he's red I just hacked the hell out of him.

Another thing, when facing demons that have blades for arms, ice creatures that can warp and a giant fire demon, you'd think a high powered double-barreled hand-gun would come in handy. Wrong. It does absolutley squat, the only thing it's good for is lowering draw-bridges.

I don't mean to insult you, but did you team up with your friends to get those. Example: To get an Overkill you have you friends gather together and you kill all of them to get the achievment.
Furthermore, I'm pretty sure no one over eight gives a crap that you have a sword on your back.
Don't get me wrong, if you earned them honestly that's great and I congradulate but otherwise it's really not so impressive.
CoD 4 however, has achievments specially designed so you can't cheat. Mainly because they are oriented around Campaign and not multiplayer.
Gears of War is a great game, but with achievments for getting x amount of kills with so-and-so weapon, people are always yelling "Don't touch the Torque Bow, I need the achievment" Like achievments even freaking matter in the first place, they don't get you anything at all.

Achievements get you the feelings of bragging like when your in the club or the pub and you've pulled the girl who just knocked back your mate lol! They make you look down upon the n00bs like a guy who drives a farari would do to a crack head. hahaha
Nah jokes aside, with some games, like gears of war for example, the achievements are just stupid. Like you need to of killed 10,000 people in online games is one of them. The achievements about how much time (and not skill) you put into the game are silly achievements and not even worth bragging about.
That's why those halo3 achievements are just beautiful. For a kill frenzy it does take skill, I tried to do what you said by inviting my friends lol But you must get the kill frenzy on a ranked free for all playlist, thats lone wolves. You can't take anybody you've teamed up with, or youve added to the game into lone wolves. So you just basicly have to hide with a sniper or pick a spot to guard and kill 10 people without dying. The achievements on halo 3 are air tight mate ya cant cheat on them. But if you're stuck on them, message me and I'll tell you my gamertag and you can go into my shared folder on halo 3 because the hardest achievements I put as videos in it to show me mates.
Now when you earn your sword for your own back and you hear the yanks going 'AHH HE HAS A SWORD' knowing their about to die you can feel special too lololollolol [:D]
