PC Gamers?
 
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 am also a PC gamer. The only MP game I'm currently playing is Borderlands.

I have off of work this week so I plan to catch up on my gaming.

I still have The Saboteur, Batman and Dragon Age to get into then I have to pick up Mass Effect 2 as soon as possible. :tu

Replied...

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.

Downloaded Rome Total War. Pretty sweet game, I think its an older game but very fun!

Do you play Borderlands online with a million other people similar to Coutner Strike??

My copy of Napoleon Total War came in today :banger

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:
