The best site for Oblivion infos and tips is here:

Great forum too.

This bug is useless. The Oblivion developers have been so smart to make shopping based on level rather than money. Merchants show you only objects at your skill level. You'll never cheat this way, because you still have to make experience to gain advanced equipment.

Great game...

Came on guys, give this Ageia boys a break.

I' will buy this 300$ card for sure, because I know that supporting physics acceleration is going to make games better and better. Just see what HL2 had done with a very little cpu physics. Just imagine the possibilities... it's not about the graphics explosions, it's about the interactions that developers will came up when the PhysX cards will be spread. Think about it... gaming will never be the same if we give those guys a possibility.

P.S.
And no, I don't want my GPU cycles to be used for physics.. they are better spent for graphics, thanks...

I agree: those riggs are useless.

Why spend tons of money for a system that can barely surpass a 399$ XBox360 (with none of the best games)?

Performance gaming is on console nowadays. PC are now just for MMORPG (that use low graphic details for the massive tcp traffic they have to sustain anyway).

This is good after all. PC gaming is going to be about gameplay and good design, and not about top-notch 3d graphics vaporware anymore.

Microsoft knew this all from the beginning.

Never understimate the power of Microsoft, if their history has shown us something is that in the end, in every market, they always win. Always.

And now, with an entire year of advantage for the ms game developers to study the 360, sony is in deep trouble. When they will show their 1st generation ps3 titles, ms will ship the 2nd 360 ones.

Bye bye sony.

I don't know what is worst:

1) An evil copy protection that kills my ide driver and slows down my cd burner until it doesn't burn anything without errors.

2) A game (GalCiv2) that is a clear regression in the space strategy genre, offering for a price a clone of Master of Orion 2 MINUS the tactical turn based battle phase (the heart of such games), offering a ridiculous "cinematic realtime 3d simulation" of the battle instead.

This is a war between the Awfuls.


At Lucasarts they just DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DESIGN INTERFACES.

They need to hire some true designers like Chris Taylor, and stop paying amateurs. Really.

If you want to see some convincing boobs, look at those of Pirates of The Burning Sea MMORPG:

The success is explained by the fact that SotC is the first game with an original concept in YEARS.

Maybe they will start to realize that clones and abused franchises are destroying this business...

GREAT!! This is what i was waiting for!!

360 WILL BE THE GREATEST MEDIA HUB EVER AFTER ALL!

Now it's clear why they chosed to not support divx.. eheh
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
