Hello! Welcome to PC Games Discussion. This board is yours to freely use for all your computer gaming needs, however, you still have to abide by the GameSpot terms of service. This thread contains help for new users, the rules of PCGD, and some basic FAQs. Let's get started, shall we?

What is better, World of Warcraft or Everquest II?
Polls on GameSpot are generally not allowed. If you're interested in seeing how two games compare, read their reviews. All PC reviews can be reached through the PC review page here.

Is there a page specifically for PC games around?
Yes, and it can be found here.

I'm looking to download some movie trailers, where can I find them?
GameSpot's downloads page of course! It can be found here, and includes downloads for demos, patches, and video game trailers among many other things.

I'm looking for a free MMORPG to play. Can you hook me up?
Check out Axx-'s compiled list of free MMORPGs to play here.

My computer is four years old. Any games I can still play?
fightforglory's thread has all the information on games with low system requirements that you'll ever need. It can be found here.

I'm bored with Age of Empires III. Where can I find a new game to play?
Look at Medic's thread here! Also, you could check out GameSpot's PC Review page here.

What good games are coming out in 2006 and 2007?
Check out this thread for 2006, and this thread for 2007!

Can my computer run Half-Life 2?
Possibly. Check out the System Requirements Lab's website here for a test to see if your computer can run a certain game.

Does anyone here use Xfire?
Why, yes, we do! Check out this thread for a list of GameSpot users and their Xfire names.

I'm a 16 year old PC gamer who likes RPGs. Any recommendations?
Yes, sir! Check out the Windows XP Game Advisor here.

I'm looking for some free games. Help!
Check out this guide created by the magazine Computer Gaming World.

Why is my mouse acting all weird in games?
Because, even if you have a gaming mouse and disable mouse acceleration, Windows XP keeps mouse acceleration enabled. To fix this, download the CPL Mouse fix here.
