Well I must say that the game uninstalls much nicer than it installs.....LOL. I was not satisfied with this game at all. The high requirements, the terrible aiming system and boring NPC interaction just creamed uninstall me please!!

After the dreadful install, I finally got to try the game for about 30min or so.  To run it I had to drop to Medium settings and then tweak a few of the options in the advanced menu. The load times are a killer, it took about 5 min to load the level before I could get playing.  The intro is pretty, the graphics are just awesome in it. The game seemed to stutter through the intro and the first five mins of the game but then disappeared.  The game is pretty cool a nice mix of some FPS with a bit of RPG style thrown in.

Ok, I picked up STALKER tonight and I am going to try and get it up and running on my AMD 2500+ with Radeon X700 Pro and 1.5GB of RAM. Set one was the installation and aside from it taking 47min all has gone smooth. Next is the actually playing the game...........

Since I have sold my 360 I have decided to get back into Guild Wars. I didn't renew my WoW subscription withthe intent to give GW so much needed attention and it is free! I think I am going to start out fresh with a new character since it has been about 1 year since I played last. I am looking for some people to play with and show me the ropes all over again. If you are interested my character is 'Maltric of Skywall'  or look me up on Xfire 'CanadianBacon81'.

I sold my 360 last week in order to get some cash so I could get a new PC. I sold it for over $1000 with all the games and accessories. I am now working on a new PC configuration and should have it in the upcoming weeks. Since I work for a distributer I will be able to get all the parts I need at dirt cheap prices. I will keep you all posted on the new system.
