I think shoulder switching was in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, or in Double Agent, don't know which it was.

If you aren't a fan of Warhammer 40k in particular, and don't mind WWII games, I'd go for Company of Heroes. The first impressions are amazing, you can hear distant battles and tanks rolling in which take place on the other end of the map. Artillery strikes are visually pleasing too, to say the...

It was Parsec for the TI-99/4A probably. It's from 1982 and had speech!

You must be kidding, "Marabou" is easily the best semi-mainstream chocolate around.

Mafia - music by Django Reinhardt! Battlefield: Vietnam - obviously inspired by Vietnam movies, still a nice selection Grim Fandango - dance companeros! HoMM 3/5 - perfect fantasy music Wing Commander - classic space opera music ah, the list goes ever on and on, I probably missed a lot...

The free to play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Some years ago it was a neat team game. Fast paced, interesting maps, well balanced. To me it was much more fun than the slow-paced Battlefield series, and fuled by id-technology it had a very good netcode, unlike Battlefield. Nowadays nearly...

Yummy, Pirates of the Caribbean. Actually this was developed to be a sequel to another great pirate game called "Sea Dogs" by Akella, but they renamed it in the wake of the whole PotC cinema event. And Akella even developed a sequel to PotC, named "Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales", though I...

Steam really is bad for my balance :(

Most people loathe steam because now their friends can't give them pirated copies of their games anymore.

If you don't mind the missing multiplayer mode take a look at Galactic Civilizations 2.

He's not concerned about the technical part of DRM, but rather the ideological premise DRM holds. The perverted thing is that the people who actually buy this game and support the developers are punished with strange "you may only install this game x times" and problems with copy protections...

I bet this shares eeh same fate as recent Steam releases here in germany. Either you get dripping honey and hot chocolate instead of blood (TF2), or it won't be released at all (Rockstar Games)...

I don't think you can really compare cost of hardware of a PC to a console. With a console you can ONLY play games, or watch a movie nowadays, or maybe surf the web a bit (I don't know). This costs you about 200-500 Euro here. If you buy a PC which can handle the same games at the same quality...

The greatest weapon of all is the mind...! No, seriously, the greatest weapon actually is a weapon of mind, namely "Force Grip" in the Jedi Knight series, especially in multiplayer games. Grab that gun-toting enemy, watch him squirm, throw him down into the ravine/chute/lava. Or just wait...

richasr, you should try Pro Evolution Soccer 6 or the latest installment 2008. If you don't mind the missing licenses for some leagues you will neve rplay FIFA again. My choice would be "Bioshock". I only borrowed it, but constant crahsing on my Vista laptop (because my main PC doesn't have a...
