The Company of Heroes is awesome...superb graphics ..you gotta try it

 

[TriplexDread]

Company of heroes is quite good if u like RTS I do already have it courtesy of a good friend of mine getting a pre-release

Also one's to look out for are Faces of War and Broken Sword 4 if you enjoyed those

 

[Rush]

I loved Broken Sword 1 and 2 cant wait for a demo....

 

[Rush]

The second mission on COH is fantastic ..you defend the town and have 15 minutes to deploy your men and guard against the invading germans. You need to set mines on the 3 bridges that seperate you and then stratigically put your forces in a tight defence ..then wait till the times up and then defend for 15 minutes against groundtroops, tanks, flame throwers and air strikes , it really is amazing stuff 15 mins never seemed so long believe me

I have a demo of that, its an excellent sequel to soldiers: heroes of world war 2.
It kind of like Company of heroes, except you can manually control any unit under your command .

top stuff!

[Rush]

[Rush]

[Ian]

I'm looking forward to hear what you think of it I'm going to try downloading it again now too

 

[V_R]

I wouldn't mind try FSX, wonder if i can dl it at work??

 

[Anon_F]

Just downloaded FX Flight Sim, but lots of work on so will not get to play it until Sunday pm
Why does work always get in the way of fun

 

[Rush]

Ian i actually landed on the runway with my first attempt but forgot to brake !!!!! and crashed ..since then its all downhill ...gripping though

 

[michael 118]

Played company of heroes (finally finished downloading) and its damn good .
feels better than other RTS games, a must buy for me. Its like watching a movie, very cinematic game.

I ran it on 128mb graphics card, 1 gig of ram and 2.0ghz cpu and so far there is little or no lag at all. Even on omaha, the fps is pretty high .

playing on medium/high settings.

Im surprised at how well it runs

Anyone tried Dark Messiah of Might and Magic demo. 1st person RPG using the HL2 engine. Lots of physics like cutting ropes to spring traps and the ability to kick your opponents around (onto spikes, into fires etc). Excellent fun and it should be available end of October.

but i did play half life 2 and counter strike with that integrated 32mb rubbish. Was interesting at first, then annoying....

 

[Covenant]

Did you find your HL2 lasted about twice as long as everybody else's
