    In preparation for my review, I'm taking on requests for gaming performance videos (similar to the ones I did on my G50 review).

    So far, the games I'm planning to record are:
    Crysis demo
    Red Alert 3 demo
    Need for Speed Carbon demo
    Call of duty 4 demo
    Call of duty 5 (world at war) demo

    Anyone have any requests? Preferably games that are free and/or can be downloaded easily ;)

    Dora the Explorer Fairytale Adventures!!!one!1

    Seriously tho I really wanna know how WaW does on that beast compared to CoD4, even though they are on the same engine, they do not perform the same on my lowly G50V. If you can play it on max I am going to be filled with envy!!

    Well, I'm not going to record the gaming performance for Dora the Explorer, but would you settle for a screenshot w/ FRAPS? :D :p

    pink pwniez. At least we know what happened to Atari :p It is just me or is the soundtrack a blatant ripoff of Mylo ('In My Arms')?!

    Do you know where I could download the demo? Apparently it was available for free from Steam, but ever since the launch, it's no longer available :(

    Fallout 3 a possibility?
    I think that would be a good benchmark.

    Also can you also try give us information about overclocking the CPU, Asus advertised that the software provided (Power4Gear) can overclock it to 2,8 GHz and still keep it stable, I have my doubts and have read a lot that you cant overclock things despite Asus saying you can

    I love purepwnage, watch the rest of the series. Some of the episodes are a bit flat, but if you're a gamer you'll get most/all of the jokes. I think the FPSDoug clip is the most famous of them all.

    How about World in Conflict and Dead Space? Not sure quite how intensive they are... I know I can't run WiC on full with my desktop when everything is at max.

    Yea I beat that demo into the ground last night, I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time. It's actually kind of fun once you get to the competition part of the demo. GREAT JUMP!!!! :D

    Tell me you're kidding...or not. As teh_masterer says, "... a true pwner own all games. If one wants to truly pwn, one must pwn in all games."

    Sorry, I got things really OT.

    But definitely see if you can do UT3, since there are and will be many games that use Unreal Engine 3. Not sure if there is a demo though. If not, maybe something that uses UE3 like Bioshock or another game on this list should work.

    Lol.

    Anyhow, I forgot, maybe we should add a Source game to the list like CS:S or TF2. Hardly the most demanding games, but there are lots who play them.

    Just stopped by Best Buy to pick up a few games-bought Fall Out 3, Call of Duty WaW, and Devil May Cry 4. ;)
    Apparently, Hello Kitty Super Island Adventures, Dora the Explorer Fairytale Adventure and that crazy horse game were all sold out.... sorry guys :p :D

    Will download UT3 in a little bit :)

    I had a striking suspicion somebody would say GTA IV.. Benchmarking that seems to only tell people how utterly crap their system is, when it's not.
