If you do build a new machine, Tom. I'd heartily recommend an ATI HD 5850. They can be easily overclocked to 5870 levels and are FAR cheaper and it's handled everything I've thrown at it on the highest settings and been buttery smooth with everything.
Hell, it took Arma 2 on highest settings and made it its bitch.

I tried. Made a new character after they decided to nerf the one Arcane Warrior skill my build relied on, then realized that build sucked and the game was really boring on the 2nd run through, so I never made it.
At the moment work is too intense to get any real gaming done, so I doubt I'll get to it before DA2 gets done.

I just started Dragon age a while back - haven't had much time to play, but... really good game. I truly cannot wait for Diablo 3 to come out.

Diablo 3 should be sick.
But I do know that when the next full half life title gets announced/released, I will definitely be doing something about it.

Nice shots man!
You should check out the CCC config pack. They increase the graphical quality of the game and INCREASE your framerate and optimize the game to a huge degree.

What I found interesting about Far Cry 2 was that stills can look terrible (even with the best settings) but the game looks amazing when it's actually being played (or watched in a video, not a choppier series of stills).

Yeah, and I dunno about anyone else but I found Far Cry 2 to be hugely under-appreciated.
The whole guard posts re-spawning as soon as you're out of eyesight is an awful, awful decision on Ubisoft Montreal's part, but the combat itself is so fluid, visceral and intense that I find myself enjoying every second anyway.

Even on the highest difficulty settings, sneaking was a bit too easy. (I hardly ever had any issues with the respawning guard posts - it was only on my second play through the game that I had to engage any of them other than the ones required by missions, and I expected those to be repopulated anyway.) The AI was also completely and mind-bogglingly stupid whenever suppressed sniper fire started coming in - there was simply no challenge if I allowed myself to use a rifle with any decent range or any suppressed firearm. I was a bit disappointed by how dumb the medicine quests were. I can't comment on how the first FC related to it (since I didn't play it before FC2), but I really liked some of the characters (even the Jackal, despite quoting Nietzsche and wanting to be George Clooney...) and was pretty happy with the game (especially since I got it for free with a video card).
I loved that it actually had a decent, not-too-short story that didn't get completely detached from the rest of the game world... it's not the longest game I played, but compared to CoD:MW it's like watching Lord of the Rings on a gram of caffeine. I'll definitely agree on it being under-appreciated, even though it took me some time to care about it at all.

Gona put only 2 on full resolution. The others are at 50% of the original size. It´s a Nvidia GTX260 card with everthing maxed and 1680x1050 (21" monitor max resolution. The card can easily handle 1080 with everything maxed). The game is Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
And some Street Fighter IV because Blanka is cool

I agree on the Jackal. I found the overall story pretty meaningless, almost a tacked on afterthought. Very underwhelming indeed. But the actual character of the Jackal is definitely a step in the right direction for video game storytelling. Sure, it's not quite on the level of the ideological, philosophical nightmare that is Bioshock (the first, let's just pretend the shameless cash in Bioshock 2 doesn't exist,) but it was obviously trying.
The ideas presented by the Jackal (him presenting a cancer the tools with which to kill itself) does have some bittersweet reminders of being a 16 year old, having just seen Fight Club and thinking myself some sort of anti-consumerist misanthrope and closet philosopher (hey, I did say I was 16) but for what it's worth, it tried, which is rare in video games. If it had been less watered down for consoles and structured with a bit more love and care, and a bit more developed story and theme-wise, it would have been fantastic, but as it is, it ends up falling quite a ways short. But either way, it pushed boundaries with its undying devotion to immersion and managed to include some fairly forward thinking ideas through the character of the Jackal (for a video game at least,) and it definitely has my respect for that.
