Fair enough, I guess Im not a big fan on replaying single player. Also I hope Im not alone in this but I cant really get into a Single player experience. Im really a big social nut in the way I need to vs other people not just so I can interact but so I can have new challenges.

I brought the Orange box of steam quite a while ago, and was wondering how many people actually play any of the games besides Team Fortress 2. Dont get me wrong but it seemed like a waste for me since I already had Half-Life 2 and Episode one. Plus I dont see how people can play portal once they have passed it since its the same puzzles so it ends up being a 'What do I do again' rather then 'What should I do here'.

So I was just wondering if you guys think the orange box was worth it, or would you of rathered just paying for Team fortress 2.

Best (So far): The Witcher
Worst (So far):Far cry 2, Crysis, Fallout 3

With the 'NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT' it should allow you to run games like Crysis and Empire: Total War but I wouldn't expect it to run thoughs games on high. It may however run them on medium with a few features turned odf, but like everyone knows Laptops are not built for gaming (by this I mean everything Maxed out etc).

Since your looking for a computer that can run these games on Medium / Low settings I would just stick with the HP HDX 16.0" Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 2.13GHz Laptop, its got some great features but dont be fool by people who think bigger numbers are better (E.G 4 gigs of ram, unless your running 64-bit windows the computer can only register 3.5 gigs, plus it has different running speeds to say the least etc).

Good luck, Message us if you need more help / information.

All this talk about going to court over such a thing isn't worth it, The court costs alone will probably end up costing you more then what it would if you say brought the orange box.

So before you think about going to court weigh up the time and money it will cost to go to court and the amount itll cost you to buy the games again.

(Thats just my opinion)

Sorry to hear you got your account banned again, but from what I have read VAC2 doesnt falsely accuse people.

I was just wondering how many austrailan people actually play "Super Smash Bros. Brawl Online" online, Since I was going to buy the game for multiplayer mainly and dont want to vs Americas (Due to lag).

Apart from that would anyone be able to tell me if playing against Americas does it lag ? (I use to play WoW with 400+ ping but didnt notice lag.. So I mean is the lag noticable ?)

Thanks in advance

If you are Willing to wait "Age of Conan" is the way to go, Good mature MMO with the combat like Oblivion (You have to aim to hit your target) and you can make combos and suck (E.G key 1 = Stab, Key 2 = Long Strike bla bla bla). Also look up Gods and Heros which is another MMO that I think you may be interested in. (Though Leveling up to the top lvl in Age of Conan is said to take 9 months for a casual Gamer.

If you cant wait I would say Lord of the rings Online.. But dont play Guild wars.. (It has no monthly fee for a reason)

Paper Mario is a must. One of the best games i've played to date.

Super mario 64 is a pretty decent game

LOZ:Ocarina of time is another game to get.

Maybe a classic mario or zelda game which ever you prefer.

Monomito1

Total agree, Except for LOZ:Ocarina I recommend the rest.

I would suggest contacting EA about this problem as im sure they have come across a similar problem, After all that is BF2.

P.S. You should get BF 2142 although it is the same engine as BF2 it seems alot more bug free and the map loading times are faster(= more playing time)

No offence but I believe Guild wars should make a whole new game rather then keep adding Expansion's.
