Hey there Escapists, me here again and for once I'm not here to rant about Fable 3 again! Instead I'm gonna rant a little about CoH2 because Sega have pulled a strange move and I feel obligated to tell you all about it. Before that though, lets get one or two things cleared up. First of all...

Good evening fellow Escapists, I've had quite a long day and I feel inspired to tell you all a story. It is the story of my Fable 2 hero, and the reason it caused me to dislike Fable 3. Fear not, this isn't a rant, Fable 3 is still a good game and there are lots of nice things that can be said...

Okay people sorry for the slow response, I think I may have found the problem. I opened it all up again and a friend suggested swapping the PCI-e slot it was plugged in to. Removing it, I noticed that the port it was previously in is actually warped. Warped as in the plastic(is it plastic?)...

Hey Escapists, Sorry about asking for tech help on the forums, I just don't really know where else to turn. I got a new video card on Monday (Asus Radeon 7850 HD). I installed it all and it worked just great, I got a wonderful framerate of 57fps on all of my high end games (all on max...

The one I hate more than anything else are the griefers. You know the ones, the sods who only play to try to mess things up for their fellow players. It's exactly why I gave up on GMOD, it is not possible to play it anymore because no matter what server you go to, you're gonna get griefed to...

Well You could wait until Monday when the zero insertion is over, that should help and also remember, you're selling retro games and star wars merch, eBay allows you to sell pretty much anything so I wouldn't be too worried about competition if I were you. I won't make the claim that there won't...

I've read Twilight and 50 shades and honestly? I gotta say Twilight. 50 shades was a good idea but I thought it was badly written and unconvincing. I mean say what you will about Twilight, at least it was trying to be original. Thats not to say Twilight was better written but, it is the...

Okay so I went with Quake 3 in the end and after sorting some graphical troubles (no idea what GL is but it tried to give me a seizure) and after connecting up and playing, I noticed that every "full" server actually has about 6 people playing and a shedload of spectators who never talk. What...

Does Quake 3 still have a decent playerbase?

I get that quakes 1 and 2 were good but, I would imagine that the playerbases for them are either dead or miniscule at this point? If they're alive and kicking then great! But I mean, I just figured because of the time gaps since releases, only 3 or 4 would really have an online community? I'm...

I was not aware of that but thank you for pointing it out! Sad to hear that but I understand it is the natural way of things. One only needs look to C&C to see how a sequel can be received more poorly than its predecessor :( A game being old doesn't bother me at all, my favorite video...

Hey again Escapists, So I'm interested in the Quake franchise, it's something I've always heard about but never experienced short of Quake live. Seeing as Quakecon is occurring and the games are on sale on steam today, I figured I could pick one up and give it a try. Thing is due to spending...

Hehehe I already have Starcraft! I love it but it has been the RTS which I've played the most. I'm in the market for something a little different and this is a franchise which I've always been interested in so, nows a good a time as any to give it a shot. Yeah I heard bad things about number...

Heya everyone, So the C&C franchise is the midweek deal on steam, C&C 3, C&C red alert 3 and C&C 4. Now, I haven't played a C&C since red alert 2 and I feel like taking one up again, been a while since I played an RTS so now is as good a time as any whilst these are on sale. I don't...

Sorry about posting this here guys and girls, I don't know where else to turn and fellow escapists are usually awesome when it comes to fixing PC games so I came here for help. I bought Star wars: tie fighter on eBay, got it for £5 too so I was pretty thrilled. Bought a USB floppy disk drive...
