    Call of Duty 4 is a good game but i personally prefer Team Fortress 2 over COD4

    I really want to get into TF2, how is the multiplayer? Is there a paid subscription? How does it compare to games like Halo?

    Fantastic multiplayer, no monthly subscription, and makes Halo look like the filthy dog it is.

    TF2 is a good team based game, but if your team is a bunch of Jerks, then it will be the most aweful experience as you will keep getting pwned over and over, i liked ET:Quake wars more because the looks arent cartoonish, and you can use Vehicles too :D

    When Compared to Halo, it makes Halo look Ridiculous. Its actually kinda fun to play it with lag as the spy cause you can backstab from the front :D

    Nice "wrong" throw, like I was stating something blasphemous.

    Corrected, "Custom Servers" can have more than 32 players.

    Nah Gears of War is not a bad port. The stutterings actually is mostly due to drivers. On my desktop for instance I don´t have any stuttering at all and now with 177.66 drivers along with tweaks has made Gears of War almost stutter free on my SLI laptop.

    Yes sir. Bought it back in December. Pretty crazy, seeing as I only paid $1,099 for the FX, which runs figure 8's around the Sony.

    its fun, but agreed, overrated. best looking game in my opinion, STARCRAFT!!!!!!

    ok i'm kidding. it's guild wars. Now most of you will be wondering wtf am i smoking and where can you get some.

    but here is my reasoning. Guild wars was visually pleasing not just from the graphics, which were two steps above average. but from the environment and design of the game. The landscape was alive and vivid. It felt REAL, unlike WoW. on highest settings this game's gfx kicked serious @$$ and even now for an mmo they are pretty good.

    The entire feel of guild wars made it a very visually pleasing game.
