Watch out for these upcoming PC titles

u mean u finish single player in 6 hours ?

 

[entrana]

first of all half life 2 ep 2 is ONLY single player, and according to ign gametime is less than episode 1, and is around 6 hours which definitely sucks. but on the bright side we get tf2 in orange box and the other half life packs and portal

 

[sanjay_111]

This is one game (Half Life) where I am not out of sync with popular tastes.

I played Half Life1 but could not complete it (I think four episodes were remaining) because my computer got virus and I had to reformat the disc. Somehow I have never felt like reloading it though it was very addictive when I was playing.

While I enjoyed Half Life when I was playing, it does not give me the same feeling of nostalgia that Deus Ex, Starcraft and Grim Fandango gave. I mean I would want to play these games again but not Half Life. This is why I am out of sync with current hype around Orange Box.

I wish I could lay my hands on a legal copy of System Shock 2. It is not available in Kolkata and probably not in India !!

@assasin
there are many games with even more requirements now itseld. SO i think Crysis won't be dat HEAVY on every systems. Hope nvidia launches new optimised drivers which boosts performance in Crylis[like da one released for Lost Planet].

 

[entrana]

i dont think crysis would really be that heavy on resources, it wont be practical and the creators would lose money because only people who have good systems can play it. they are releasing something that can only be played by a small amount
