is here at last! What will you PC gamers be
playing? Yesterday I\'ve tried Dreamkiller PC. I\'d really like to know
if anyone agrees that this game really just sucks a fat one.
Ridiculously repetitive and boring gameplay. Besidees, the mouse
control seemed ridiculously inconsistent. I often found myself shooting

"Borderlands Retail PC Buyers Aren't Allowed to Play Yet - Borderlands PC is available through stores in countries like Austria and Germany. However, those who bought the game are not allowed to play yet thanks to 2K's decision to restrict playing until the official release date. Apparently the information that you may not play until the 26th is not on the retail box."

... buy game, install, play = denied!

Borderlands - What do expect from corporations these days .. truth ?? You dont think they'd preempt any bad publicity regarding how crap the game is before its actual release ? Dont trust a game if they cant release a demo first, expect usual regurgitated trash, i for one will not bother with this.

Pretty obvious by not putting 'game locked' blah blah on the purchase box -if that is the case, i don't intend to buy it?- then they have broken trading standards ruling. Namely the item must be fit for purpose on day of purchase and thereafter, if not a full refund must be given. What a bunch of ass wipes! Digital downloads are different as it states BEFORE you purchase it is locked untill....blah

I haven't looked at Dreamkiller (will most likely give it a miss now) but I've mainly been playing Risen lately. For a PC rpg it's pretty good, although the story is kinda slow. It's worth checking out.
Before that, I was playing the new Wolfenstein, which was hilariously easy. Just imagine an fps where you gradually unlock godmode. Unless you're new to fps games, I wouldn't recommend wasting time with it.

It may be a pain in the ass for people that bought it but retailers breaking release dates are at fault here.

Dreamkiller sucks balls, indeed.

I also think it's locked at 40 fps. WTF? But maybe it's just my system. I will have a 5850 by the end of the week and I will retest.

Until then, here's the video I managed to record!

I'm addicted to playing Call of Pripyat, with rus-eng translation; loving every minute of it, and by far the best in the series.

Once I get that out of the way, I'll probably make a start on Uncharted 2 Very Happy
