Anyone picked up any new games recently?

Did anyone get Medal Of Honor Airborne yet? It was released here today, so i guess america will already have it, i'm gonna pick it up ASAP after playing the demo.

Haven't picked it up yet...still in the middle of Bioshock.

The MOH: Airborne trailer looked terrific and I'm sure I'll probably try it out. However, one thing is bothering me. Supposedly you can direct your parachute jump to different locations in the battlefield below. If I remember right, you CAN'T do that with the type of chutes they used in WWI. You drop pretty much wherever the chute/winds take you.....little to no directional control. If you could, the U.S. would have had a lot less casualties during the airborne operations on D-Day. I guess for the sake of the game's non-linear play, one has to suspend disbelief for awhile.

I'm sure you meant WWII.
In any case, if you take into account that you can use medic packs to instantly heal yourself, than being able to direct an undirectable chute is not that crazy.
If you want reality, than this game is not for you. Try Graw2 which I am in the middle of right now and which I find extremely entertaining (and quite realitic).

hi all i am a big fan of FarCry, MOH and the rest, i can see that all of you have missed a great game here it is called company of heroes http://www.companyofheroesgame.com/
it is great in all aspects, i am sure that you will enjoy it as much as I did

I hear Dx 10 is a big hit on your frames per sec. with not much better graphics... just a bunch of hoopla and hipe and not making gamers real happy.... any ideas ?

All good here, i wouldn't expect great performance from the low-end DX10 cards though. (2400 series, and 8400/8500 series)

I took the plunge and got myself Crysis. Who would have thought it would work on my antique, but it works satisfactorily. Of course, the graphics are on Low, but that doesn't stop me from playing.
So far, it's a great game. I'd recommend it!

Far Cry 2 is coming out in March. Looking forward to that one as well.
