I recommend trying Dawn Of War - it's super-awesome.

I'll give it a try. Looks good.

Yep. I said the same. Same goes for CoD2, HL2, Quake 4, Doom 3, FarCry, etc.

Currently I'm either in battlefield 2, starwars battlefront 2, or civ 4 (still waiting for the patch for civ 4)

Previously, most of the games I play have been quake, tribes 2, or civ seris games such as SMAC and SMACX

don't get much time for games these days tho.

Main problem with FEAR is your Video card I bet - it stumbles on the lowest settings possible on an FX 5600, but sings on a GT 6800 (Nvidia both). Seems the Video card is the main bottleneck in getting it to work.

That's just my experience at least - with the demo.

Btw, fat hates to lose...a lot :) He used to stop by my friends house a lot and crashed on the couch. He practices 8 hours a day and literally does it for a living. Can't beat the life :)
heh

speaking of fatal1ty:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/fun.games/ ... index.html
NEW YORK (AP) -- A video game master from Kansas City, Missouri, won a $150,000 prize on Tuesday by besting a rival in the Cyberathlete Professional League World Tour Grand Finals.

Johnathan Wendel, 24, who goes by the name "Fatal1ty" in the world of multiplayer games, beat Sander Kaasjager, a player from the Netherlands known as "fnatic.Vo0," for the competition's top prize.

"It took a lot of practice coming into this tournament, training about eight hours a day for the last two to three weeks," Wendel told AP Television News after the event. "To win $150,000 playing a video game -- that's the best."
