OT: 2005 Games

[gregebowman]

I don't get too excited about new games anymore. Unless I seriously upgrade, I won't be able to play the new games coming out. KOTOR I & II, Half-Life 2, Axis & Allies, etc. are just games I can dream about but won't be able to play. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to upgrade, or get a new computer, but it won't be anytime soon. But if SEV has the same graphics engine that Star Fury has, then no problem. I like eye candy, don't get me wrong, but if it comes to a choice between graphics or gameplay, I'll settle for gameplay. Also, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can play Civ4 on my computer, but I haven't seen any of the hardware requirements for it yet.

I'm just hoping civ4 doesn't suck.

You can gut your old machine, keep the monitor/mouse/keyboard... hell, even the HD... and go to a computer parts place (here we have Fry's Electronic; I dunno about Florida) and get a case/motherboard/processor combo for less than $200. Any idiot can put it together on the kitchen table and Voila! you're playing new video games.

Unless of course $200 is a lot of money in your current economic situation.
