Got it the minute it came out!
I bought a 25th Anniversary Edition WII console so I could play along with the grandkids (they have one at home) and found out that the 8y.o. can simply kick my ass at any of the games. I ended up just sitting there, amazed at how good she is.

the first Portal made me think too muchPortal 2. Epic times!
(and yes that is an electronic potato attached to my portal gun!)
Played some Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on the new rig using my new monitor last night..
it was beautiful
I was playing the venue where you're back Stateside and doing the big melee at the shopping mall (Get on top of Nate's restaurant, they're attacking from the Burger Barn!!!)
epic
Very! MW2 was dope... I need to replay it
Speaking of which... anyone try Homefront?!? Looked pretty cool. There's something eerie about realistic shooters set in Suburbia.
Will check that one out today, thanks
Well GF, Homefront has got some pretty meh reviews.It's supposed to be glitchy, some of the animations are laughable and folks who bought it don't seem happy
May have to pass on that one
I played Call of Duty Black Ops on my old pc.I had to turn down a lot of the settings and it seemed average at best.I really hated all the drama and cutscenes in between actual run 'n gun time.
Just fired it up on the new pc and oh Lordy, what a different game
I got plugged standing in a courtyard, because I stopped and was looking around admiring the lovely graphics
Had a similar experience
oh dude I'm glad you're here...I played Black Ops on the old pc and was underwhelmed
This is one of those times when I feel like a fanboy using the new hardware to run games, totally different experience.
I got this killer Dell monitor too which adds so much to the graphics...remember the early Vietnam level where you fight all those dudes in the valley
coming up the hill? (Khe Sahn I think) Last night I swear there were 70 enemies on the screen, plus my guys, plus jets dropping napalm and bombs, plus high pitched screams....it was awesome.
Yeah that defense of Khe Sahn mission is ridiculousI remember just standing in the bunker and firing and firing and firing and the waves kept coming
Must look great on the new PC. I'm surprised the new monitor added so much; but you do your homework on hardware so that's awesome. I recently played Bad Company 2 on PC and the graphics were more impressive than on Xbox, I hate to admit.
I understand Battlefield 3 is being tailored towards PC pretty hard so I might have to switch over for that one
The Dell monitor has an 8 second response time...geeks say that 5ms is too slow and 2ms is ideal for gaming...
then I read and saw vids with guys who had my monitor and they play all sorts of FPS and Need For Speed
It's kinda dry and technical but the Dell has an IPS panel inside compared to the typical TN panel in new monitors these days.
It translates to things like sunsets, dark levels, smoke, fire and effects...looking great and 10x better.And Black Ops is all about effects and pixel shading
