Two. Metro: Exodus (7/10) - Overall I still enjoyed it, but I think Metro loses something when you're outside of the, well, metro. On paper it seemed like it should have been an amazing game, but it just didn't draw me in like the previous Metros. There were also weird things like Artyom just...

I agree that having some sort of open world game set in Moscow would have been better. They could have allowed you to travel between the different stations freely and also had points where you went outside. I see a lot of potential there. I don't know how much they're constrained by the source...

I went back and forth about where to post this because there seems to be more discussion of the game in the non-EE thread, but ultimately I did play the EE so I'll post it here. This was a bit of a weird game for me because on paper I feel like I should really have liked it. I more or less like...

Sorry for your loss. Life is tough sometimes. :(

Just installed this on games pass, although looking at the reviews here it looks like maybe I should just pass on it period. Anyway first thing I noticed so far is the game feels choppy. I'm apparently getting 200 fps and freesync is working according to my monitor, but visually it feels more...

Nothing for February.

Great job on the site migration. With the extensive downtime in January and February, I was honestly afraid that the site was dead for good. But it seems that like a phoenix it's back! Discord is good for voice and text chat. I use it for that, mostly with friends. For topic discussions I think...

I've recently encountered a very strange problem. My motherboard was working fine, then I pulled my GPU to reroute two of my case fan power cables. After reseating the GPU the motherboard would no longer start up properly when the power button was pressed. It would power up for a split second...

I stumbled across this video of a behind the scenes tour at the Nvidia Failure Lab, where they try to diagnose why chips are defective. It was interesting to watch, and makes you realize just how complicated and involved making these chips are. In a way you it's almost crazy that it's even...

I'm conflicted and need some advice. I've noticed that both PowerColor and XFX Radeon 290s/290Xs are on sale at Newegg for the following prices: $230 for PowerColor 290 w/TurboDuo cooler (2 fans) $240 for PowerColor 290 w/PCS AX9R cooler (3 fans) It seems like the introduction of the 390...

I know a number of us are interested in seeing how the Radeon Nano performs, and it occurred to me that with the help of someone with a Fury X, we might be able to predict how the Nano will perform. Current rumors suggest that the Nano will be a fully unlocked Fiji GPU, but possibly be...

A little over a year ago I upgraded my graphics card to a Power Color HD7870 from a 6870. Since then I've been having some intermittent issues with the card. The card seems to have worked fine in a number of games, such as Hitman Absolution, Gothic 3, Walking Dead, Remember Me, and Metro...

I'm really excited! My gaming backlog is down to only about 20 games! :eek: And about 5 of those are games that I don't have that much interest in playing (bought cheap just in case I like them). Backlog Bioshock Infinite Dark Fall: Lost Souls Fallout 3- GOTY Fallout: New Vegas Far Cry 2 Mass...

Kind of a funny April fools gag. Go (just about) anywhere on Google Maps and hit the Pac-man button in the left corner to play. Here are some suggested locations and screen shots of it in action...

I'll admit it, in the past I always tended to think of 3D gaming as being a gimmick. Lately, though, I've been reading up more on VR, like the Oculus Rift, and the various VR treadmills. Obviously all that stuff is a little ways off, but it got me thinking about 3D monitors, and 3D gaming...
