A game has to be rated by the "USK" in Germany who give away legally binding labels (over 0/6/12/16/18 years). An "18" rating would have some restrictions, but the games can still be displayed and sold. When the USK thinks the game is harmful they give no label. The game can then be checked by...

1. GT Legends (would be GTR2 with Power & Glory, but they haven't included the C3 yet) 2. Richard Burns Rally 3. Flatout 1 4. Motocross Madness 2 5. Mario Kart Double Dash Special mention: Stunts, my first racing game, for the countless hours of building tracks and then crashing well...

What Makes PC Controls so Great? Above all the possibility to choose my preferred input device! Mouse, keyboard, gamepad, joystick, wheel or something different? No problem and I get to choose between myriads of forms/layouts for each. Try simply getting an Xbox-style gamepad for a PS3 :(

And yet they are the ones still keeping sprites alive. It's not the whole tree as it were, but the "blobs" of leaves do still turn with the camera. It was an ok compromise to gain performance with all that vegetation when Oblivion came out. But we still see it, and even with only some sparse...

As already said by others your test method wasn't best for comparison so I guess different scenes had the most impact on your results. Apart from that, how should one even optimize for a specific resolution? They'd have to cut somewhere else, a bigger resolution will just need more power...

Three entries from my side: - I think CD Project deserves credit for how and what they did with The Witcher and its enhanced edition as well as starting gog.com - Mainly because of the games I'll add Bohemia Interactive, for OFP and ArmA, which I'm playing since 2001. Support and...

ArmA has a big and soft AI underbelly, or rather the AI itself has got one. It can be independent and clever at times, really great even and more so with teh help from some mods/scripts/clever mission design. But then it turns around and does something utterly stupid or f***s up even the...

During a coop mission in OFP with ECP mod, which adds the possibility of people burning, we had a quite fierce engagement with the enemy. After a while the enemy vehicles were destroyed and most infantry killed and there was a pause in shooting. While we carefully moved forward to check for...
