Anyone out there? I just upgraded my laptop after 5 years (quad core :banger) and was wondering about some PC games. I am a stream subscriber and I saw they have COD MW2, anyone playing that on PC. What kind of controller should I buy or do I need one. I have a PC game that I can not play with the keyboard...TOCA racedriver...need a controller.

I've been liking Borderlands a lot lately. I don't dig the whole keyboard and mouse thing. I use a wireless Xbox 360 controller with the Microsoft "sensor for PC's thingy." This set up works for most PC games very well. AND I can use the keyboard and mouse at the same time if I want. Best of both worlds.

I know you don't have a 360, but you can just pick up a wired 360 controller new at Gamestop or somewhere for around $30. The wired ones have a USB plug and will work instantly with most PC games.

:tu on Gamestop. Borderlands is interesting. It's repetitive and yet everything is always changing just a wee bit. The game is fun and there are already two DLC's available for it. Another DLC with a new level cap will be out soon too.

I'm a PC gamer :D

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is coming out this week!

It will blow MW2 away, if your computer can handle it that is (I was in the beta);)

Check out the logictech G13. It's what I use for pc gaming. Left 4 dead 2 and COD Modern warfare. It also works great for any games you need to use macro's for too. It took about a day to get used to it, but now it's all I use. Check it out!

I spent a mint on a gaming system last year and I simply love it! :banger

I am looking to upgrade to Windows 7 soon and maybe adding another 3 GB of RAM.

Rome TW is awesome, check out the Europa Barborum mod for it, completely changes the game.

You can play with up to three other players. I have a friend I'd planned to play online with but his "special" copy isn't working online. I went to his place and we played by LAN though. I got there around 11PM and emerged some time after 3AM. Lot's of fun.

Those are good, but if you want a different experience EB is a mod that totally changes the game:

Also, a good site with many mods for all the TW games (should you feel like experimenting:

Did you play the original, Shogun? I had a lot of fun with that when it first came out, although when you got to a certain point the Geishas made the game a little too easy.

Yea, shogun was pretty good. Haven't played it in ages though. Would be nice if they would do a new one, they did Medieval twice, Empire/Napoleon, and rumor is Rome 2 is in the works.

I have been playing Counter-Strike 1.6 for about 9 years now. It never gets old for me. Occasionally I will play Left4Dead 2, Killing Floor, Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty.
