I tried it... Splinter Cell is no longer available. I would have liked to have cashed in on this deal myself!
<BR>

Thanks for the tip on this one guys. I picked it up for my daughter for Christmas. My kids and wife immediatele became absorbed in it this morning - I´m not much into kareoke myself, but I got hooked by this presentation style. It´s incredibly slick! It has a way of getting people who would be shy o...

Jack, we have been running tournaments the last two weeks, but they were patched together late. I´ve had a serious hard drive failure, and 72-84 hours a week for the last few months. We´re going to take the Christmas weekend off, but we´ll kick off the new year with a new tour. Details will be poste...

How´d the Stiga hockey game work out? Is it pretty solid and durable? One of my fondest memories is a hockey game I got as a 12 year old.... didn´t know hockey from Adam at the time, but this game was riveting. The players were metal, and one of the pucks was metallic, but only enough to allow sligh...

Awesome stuff! I would love to be able to plug this into PGR2. I´m still mindful of the fact that the cockpit´s missing everytime I play the game. As Paul said, I can see where it might be a problem with the driver´s head obscuring the curb on the left at times, but that video showing it in action i...

One thing I noticed in playing the demo was how the frame rate varied depending on the camera being used. It would be too fast when zoomed out, but then when the camera would zoom in, it would be laborously slow. Have these issues been addressed? <BR> <BR>I still dig the heck out of WE6: IE, and I´m...

Yeah James, I told her I´d have grounds for it in some states, based on this! I still don´t have a fully functioning LAN, and no ethernet cable running from the router to the Xbox yet. I could solve my problems if I could just get a good quality cable connection upstairs, and put the router up there...

I might be in jepordy of missing this one... I got home a couple of nights ago from work to find that my wife and kids had decided to rearrange the house. My den (where my Xbox, Dreamcast, and PC resided) were now upstairs. Of course they didn´t consider the ramifications of this on my wired LAN. I ...

This is going to show a lot about what sort of year I´ve had: <BR> <BR>Football: NCAA 2004 - PS2. I´ve only played demos of the others but found nothing approaching the atmosphere of NCAA 2004. My work schedule hasn´t allowed me enough time for gaming so this one was the only one I could invest enou...

Thanks for the help guys. I´ll definitely give ID 2004 a rent at the very least. While I´ll admit that I´ve lost some of my passion for the sport of basketball over the years, I haven´t totally lost interest. Pro basketball has largely lost its allure to me since Michael, Larry, and Magic retired. I...

I´m going to chime in here as a gamer who´s lost some of his fizz for the sport of basketball in the last few years. I can´t put my finger on why, but I can´t even sit through a whole basketball game until NCAA tournament time. I think it´s attributable largely to overexposure, a growing passion for...

db, I can speak on this subject since I own both... there is definitely room on my playlist for both games. There are some things about Links 2004 that fills in the voids that I find in TW 2004 PC. The polygonal golfers are superior to anything I´ve seen on any other golf game. I love the multiplaye...

I´m in! <BR> <BR>I´m finally climbing out the hole my most recent hard drive debacle has created for me... lost everything - again <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_frown.gif"> It´s funny how my hard drive suddenly became unbootable and unrecoverable after my son´s recent file cleaning to make room ...

I hear you Brad. I had a chance to get online for one quick race last night. Terry was in it... I never saw his car after the first turn. Heck, he was already showered and shaved by the time I finished the race! I can´t imagine anyone sucking at this game worst than I do right now, but I´m not afrai...

I missed it when I got home and saw my computer screen showing "BOOT DRIVE FAILURE". Windows reports that it can´t find a valid partition on my hard drive <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_frown.gif"> I didnt´ really have time to run all the diagnostics and maybe get Hard Drive Mechanic Gold to salv...

Well, I fired up PGR2 last night with the Griffin Advanced Racing Wheel connected to the Xbox. It´s not what I´d hoped it was going to be. I think part of the problem is lack of any real calibration adjustments in PGR2. All it allows you to do is choose which wheel you have in the options menu. Natu...

Paul, <BR> <BR>You´re absolutely correct about that... I´ve already some to grips with the notion that this isn´t going to be as pure a sim as I had originally envisioned. There are a few non-sim racers that I´ve enjoyed over the years, NFS Hot Pursuit being one of them. <BR> <BR>I´m nowhere near th...

I got home from work last night to find that my copy of PGR2 had arrived. After a cursory "how was your day?" conversation with my wife, I dove right into it. Several things struck me from my 30 or 40 minutes I was able to give it last night: <BR> <BR>1.) I´m not sure I´m going to be able to do with...

If the tracking info I´m getting from CompUSA is to be believed, I should be receiving my copy of PGR2 today. Anxious to try this one out, although I doubt it will be a while before I can run on the same track with you thoroughbreds! <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_wink.gif">

Tiger Woods 2004 (PC). A little thin in graphics where object rendering distance is concerned, but infinitely playable.<BR><BR><font size=1>[ This message was edited by: J_Cauthen on 01-12-2003 15:32 ]</font>

Thanks James... that´s exactly the kind of information I was seeking. How hard is it to acquire 22 kudos?
<BR>
<BR>BTW, is the career mode fun? Sometimes I find these career modes to be drudgery that has to be withstood to get to where I really want to be.

Don, I now think I was reading an older news post at one of the websites that came up in a history search. Apparently, there was a leak of an earlier beta. The one up on the Pits website is indeed legit! Have you tried the Norisring track? I liked it pretty well, but I can´t figure out how to setup ...

I ordered PGR2 through Comp USA´s Thanksgiving day special sale. I got it coming Fedex Saver for a total of $45. Should get it Tuesday the way things look. Where should I start with this? I´m anxious to try racing with a some of you online this coming week, although my time will be very limited. Whe...
