[QUOTE="Xilari"][QUOTE="alan_carter"]I don't get this.. Are u guys living in 20 square meters houses so u purchase evrything digitally for saving space?alan_carter
Given that I personally live in the middle of nowhere, I have to balance out the petrol cost of going to get it myself. Or the delivery cost if I order it physically. Although if I'm going to order it via mail, I might as well download it for the time it takes for deliveries to find where I live. So, for me... do I download digitally and save fuel, but have to wait days for it to download? Order it and wait five days for it to arrive? Or do I drive out and buy it, play it within a day (usually) and use up petrol and car wear and tear? Decisions, decisions.

Standard delivery for amazon is free, and could arrive on release day, but u may choose an express delivery method for havin it for sure on release day and it's quite cheap. Still much cheaper than if u get it from steam, and no need to waste ur own car fuel this time ^^

Deliveries don't come next day for me. It's pretty much always two days behind with EVERYTHING. And Deus Ex cost more on Steam than it did from PC world, oddly.

Depends on your download speed. If I was to get Skyrim off Steam, it'd be three days before I could play it. Maybe even 5, if I was careful and only downloaded it between midnight and 8am (when downloads aren't counted in monthly download limit). If I buy it from retail, it takes less than 5 hours to install.

Prince of Persia, especially the first one to come out on PS2. The later ones didn't feel quite so awesome for some reason. Deus Ex is first person, but there's something incredibly satisfying about slowly killing / knocking out guards one by one from the shadows. I personally ended up feeling like some sort of awesome assassin. It lacks platforming / freerunning etc, but has awesome characterisation (which may or may not be important to you). Nice, long game to playthrough. If it's the stealthy killy stabby thing without being seen you like, I'd say good old Splintercell: Chaos Theory. Unfortunately it's very linear (set missions that you can't return to, except to replay) but the main thrills comes from stealthily picking off enemies one by one and organising their bodies in awkward ways in closets. A slightly odd suggestion would be Jak 2 and Jak 3, although that's a run and gun platformer thingie, on the PS2 rather than PC. But fun nonetheless.

As I can't be bothered to read all the comments, what's the average amount of play time I can get out of the campaign on MW3?

Shiny looking, or just average graphics? I'm kind of a bad, picky person. And I don't know how to mod games to make them prettier.

RAGE is pretty and fun, with decent AI. But the story is short and incredibly dissapointing.

I got Deus Ex from PC World for less than I would have from Steam. Which saved me about 24 hours of downloading. Shame it didn't come with an instruction manual - I miss that about digital downloads. Just got Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 and it doesn't tell me how to find out whether or not the damn thing's picking up my mic, or what the voiec commands even are. It's either that what I'm yelling is wrong, or it refuses to recognise female voices, or that it just doesn't realise I have a mic plugged in at all.

Just got a crash, and the following error.. "A problem has occured with your display driver. Your system may not have enough resources to run the game at the selected settings. You can retry using the same settings, or adjust them to lower settings. Make sure you have teh latest drivers for your video hardware, and try rebooting your system to clear up any issues." This seems odd, concidering it ran the base game and RAGE on full graphics without even a stutter. Equally, it hadn't overclocked itself.
