As far as games currently out, not really.  I pretty much buy the games I want when they're released.  Some are good, some are great, but most usually wind up being a waste of $.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer this fall.  I guess that's about it.

Just keep in mind that most "good" proxies are overseas, located in countries that US authorities have no subpoena power over.  One of the downsides to using an overseas server (and there are several) is that your web browsing is often very s...l...o...w  due to the high latencies involved.

I agree.   There are a few things about C&C3 that bug me with respect to gameplay, but as far as being a system-killer, it's definitely not.

Vista makes use of "User Account Control", which causes you to run with non-Admin priviliges, even when you are a local admin.

Yeah, I'd probably guess Halo 2.  From what I've seen, Crysis won't be as demanding on today's PCs as FarCry was back in the day.

If you've been able to connect to them before, and you're able to connect with all of your other online games, then the best guess is that the EA server is down.   Try again later.  If you try again later and you're convinced that the EA servers are up, and that it's not a local firewall problem, I'd probably uninstall/reinstall at least one of the newer EA games.

Not to be a smart a$$, but I'd say Crysis will be the next FarCry.  And since IMHO FarCry kicked butt, I can't wait to see the new one!  :D

Wrong forum, but I'm running Vista and there are lots of drivers out for it now.  After 5 years of XP, I was definitely ready for a new OS, and Vista's pretty cool.
