    Games you never found another player of (or even heard of)

    Robit, a game I made entirely myself from scratch... Got about 1000 "hits" It was pretty unoriginal though, more of a test-game before I failed to complete some bigger, more original games. ...Do I win?

    Next Gen Console vs This Gen PC graphics

    When the Xbox 360/PS3 were being released there hardware could still be out-powered by top-tier PC stuff, this time around I think even a lot of upper middle-range cards will beat the new consoles due to the current recession and MS/Sony's plan to keep the consoles in the 300-400 range, I...

    Capcom Explains Why 30 FPS Isn't That Bad

    I can feel a massive difference from 30 to 60 on PC, even 45 feels a little bit off... as well as a noticeable difference with input lag when vsync is on. On ps3/xbox though the difference is minimal I'm a relatively competitive FPS player though, with currently about 1.5k hrs in CSS so I...

    XCOM: Not compatible with Win XP.

    Ahh, I wrote that wrong I meant to say it will run on 512mb xD, I have an old 512mb laptop running ultimate behind me now, haven't tried starter but I could see it working on 256mb of ram.

    XCOM: Not compatible with Win XP.

    That's true on more modern and faster PCs but not on older hw, Windows 7 wont run on under 512mb of ram (and minimum is actually 1gb, according to MS) but XP will run on about 128 (minimum is 64) and still be pretty usable. That's one example but the same applies to pretty much all other factors...

    XCOM: Not compatible with Win XP.

    Not sure if this has been brought up yet but from a market/profiting standpoint supporting XP makes a lot of sense, I personally use 7 myself but according to steam hardware survey (which I'm gunna assume is a pretty accurate portrayal of PC Gaming as a whole), 12% of people still use XP...

    PC gaming is dead to me now.

    Bored of this shit, honestly, I don't get why everyone on this site constantly wants to blurt out there opinion about things that have been said a million times before. It just doesnt matter, if you like PCs, fine, if you like consoles, fine. Keep it to yourself... I just don't see why this...
