So thanks, guys! I really appreciate the idea. I needed some ideas for him for Christmas gifts. He'll be very surprised with this one.  |
Get him Quake then lol...in Quake the enemies are all cyborgs.
BTW New Multiplayer game out. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
It's based on the free Enemy Territory and the same company made it. The made the Return to Castle Wolfenstien multiplayer game and then they made the free ET game. Then they got this idea to make a version based on Quake.
It's pretty cool. You play either humans or cyborgs. And just as in ET, you have classes like medics etc etc..
This game is better than ET in that you can use vehicles this time...so tell your kids they can play it as long as they are human

Oh...half life...I have not yet gotten any new HF games until I upgrade my PC.
I have just about everything to build a NEW PC but I am waiting till I move. WHne I do I shold have more room too.
I might have to get another video card though. If anyone wants a PCIe video card used let me know. I have one that is still in box and a used one from the PC at church. The one I just put in is a 8600...nice card...i wish I had it for my PC at home. The two I have left are 7800 I think...not bad for a lot of stuff but not for new games at all.

Margie, you should check out Team Fortress 2. It's not as expensive as some other games. I think it's $29.99 alone and not included in the Orange Box. The OB is $49.99 and includes 5 games for the price of one. That's the PC price, not console.
Team Fortress 2 is a really different game. It's made with cartoon-like quality. And is fast moving.
Here are a couple of videos.

I hear ya! We just bought our current computer a year ago, along with a Radeon X1600, and it already feels like it needs an upgrade!
