PC Gaming Almost Dead -AGAIN- So................ PC Industry Consortium to announce 'PC Gaming Alliance' to save PC gaming
Takahashi: Gaming Alliance stumps for PC By Dean Takahashi Mercury News 02/12/2008 The personal computer game industry has trailed behind its console brethren in recent years as easy-to-play games on the Nintendo Wii or online games on the Xbox 360 have stolen the excitement. Companies with a vested interest in keeping the PC alive as a gaming platform will soon announce a consortium dubbed the PC Gaming Alliance. According to two people familiar with the effort, it will include top industry players such as Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices as well as a number of computer ...

pc games complains about the state of PC gaming, however...
It seems to me the consoles are the ones really in trouble. The XBox is no competiton, because it can barely keep up with current gen titles and next gen DX10 titles will put the final nails in the coffin, not to mention all the good XBox 360 titles are available with better graphics on the PC and with better control. The Wii has a market with kids/grannys and such (and deserves it, I suppose with the gimmicky controller that most folks already seem to be losing interest in, so they will need some stellar titles to maintain momentum).. The PS3 has failed, plain and simple.

You're leaving out just about every single sports game. The only action sports games for the PC are Madden, NBA and NHL (well, soccer, too, but I don't count that). PC doesn't even have a baseball game anymore, except for text sims. Plus, the XBox 360 still has titles like Gears of War, Dead Rising and the coming Halo 3 that w...

Good PC action games going to PS3?
Well, you probably know by now that Microsoft hires tons of people to post online and complain about PS3 in online forums and blog comments and news followup comments. Only recently Sony has countered the threat and did the same to protect their image. There are lots at stake. One is that Microsoft feels threatened that this playstation product line is taking a large percentage of the main reason people purchase computers (to play games and surf the internet). Sony enlisted the help of UK and now the battle has begun. At the helm of Sony is a UK boss and you know that the US (where Microsoft is) and the UK split up a while ago (declaration of independence). Well, if you remember a while ago, England liked going to different countries and merging them into their own (colonies or commonwealth, whatever you call it). At one point it had India, Hong Kong, Canada, United States, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and many others on almost all the continents. The United States rebelled and split up and soon after many countries did the same, but not all. The US took this independence split so strongly it started going to other countries to split them up as well (West and East Germany, China and Taiwan, North and South Korea, and almost Vietnam). In fact the US almost split itself apart during the US civil war. Right now it is trying to split Iraq into different parts based on ethnicities (I think they are building walls now). Japan is like the UK, it liked going to ot...

The most valuable new weapon in a PC action game...............
.................. the brand-new Logitech G5 ( or wireless G7 ) Laser mouse. I have just received one courtesy of buy.com ( $55 plus shipping ) and have tried it out. Besides its truly outstanding accuracy and response speed, there are several neat attention-to-detail features. The G5 comes with a collection of user-installable weights ( 8 of 1.7 gram and 8 of 4.5 gram ), of which up to 8 in any combination can be pressed into a holder which then snaps into an area roughly where the batteries would be placed in the G7 wireless version. So you can precisely customize the "feel" of the mouse. (The G7 has no such weight adjustment). The sliding-pads on the mouse-base seems to be an exceptionally-hard non-stick Teflon-type material and will definitely not pick up crud. The thin mouse-cable has a woven-fibre sheath over its whole length which does not significantly affect flexibility, but sure increases its resistance to stretch and stops the cable bending short at the point where it enters the mouse -- a classic internal-fracture point due to excessive long-term flex... I have repaired many dud mice just by just cutting the cable an inch or two from the mouse, removing the faulty section and rewiring internally. The G5 box has a "Gaming" label on it.....That is nonsense. IMHO, this mouse is the current optimum mouse for all purposes. The G5 is USB only and the software is compatible with Win98, 2000, Me or XP. Dunno what the G7 (wireless version) compa...

How to exclude action of Find::Find::find in subdirectories with known names? 136296
I must pass through directory tree and to execute some action with files, names of which described by regex. I need not do it in directories SCCS and VVS, which can be in every subdirectory. The following code works correctly, does not action ("THE ACTION") in unwanted directories, but it pass through every subdirectory. I'd would like that it will worked faster, and procedure "wanted" will not step inside SCCS and VVS. I have tried for that purpose the "untaint_pattern" and "untaint_skip" options but did not success. Perhaps I used incorrect values. Or, I do not understand the task of the options correctly. Somebody can suggest to me the decision? Thanks in advance, --Vadim ...

I'm looking forward to it, just based on what I've read about the terrain and open-ness of the world. In the past I haven't been real taken with squad based tactical shooters. It sounds silly, but it feels like work to me. Its the same thing that doesn't appeal to me about RTS games. I like the tactical play, but I don't like dealing with the...

Need help in finding an easy FPS game for playing on a PC.
I have always stayed away from computer games as I had little interest in them. However my husband has me interested of late. He tried to get me to play PainKiller and soon Doom3. I just want a basic Windows shoot-em-up (or other type if you have a recommendation) game that has decent graphics, decent sound, is fun, not too hard, etc... Perhaps a military type game might be good or trying to save someone. I do not like shooting ghouls or searching for a lot of clues, etc... What I did not like about "PainKiller-Heaven's got a Hitman": Good graphics but I am not one to try to capture every Soul, every goodie in every casket/box, etc..., crawling around a cemetary and so on. I can see the gun but nothing else. But perhaps that is ok. Have not tried Doom yet as I think it will overwhelm me with levels, hidden things, special cheats and so on..... I like a decent challenge but not an elaborate puzzle to solve. Just want some enjoyment. I know there are some Java/Flash games out there but I am willing to pay for a decent game even if it has Multiplayer capability for free (cheap) via broadband. Got the necessary hardware. Thanks for any recommendations. I did download a few demos and went to a few review sites.
