    I was looking at the games at direct2drive website and they said they didnt sell call of duty modern warfare 2 because it requires you to run a third party program. does anyone know which third party program it is? Is it steam?

    Also has anyone played Kings bounty. I think I may try it out. Is it any good?

    oh ok thanks. I thought it might have been steam.

    no love for kings bounty? looks like a pretty good turn based rpg.

    i adore King's Bounty: the Legend and right now i'm playing Armored Princess, but i'm kind of bored with it, AP is pretty much more of the same

    Some gamers think King's Bounty is what Heroes of Might and Magic V should have been in terms of gameplay, to others it's a more focused product on turn-based combat with less emphasis on resource management.

    HMM5 is a tbs with worse AI than HHM1,2,3 but better graphics. KB is more like a rpg with turn based combat and really stupid AI. To make up for AI the developers put thousands of monsters there for you to grind :)

    Some of the really hardcore expert players are good at turning the H5 AI into pulp, I'm one of the other kind who can't seem to take on the AI 1-on-1 at hard.

    I do agree with the rest of the points raised though.

    You could try playing with overpowered heroes. Pick Inferno and the hero that has ballista spec, train ballista skills and it'll be shooting fireballs. Or the one from titan town that has mana regen in combat and train sorcery, with enough maximum mana you can spam spells endlessly in early game

    Deleb has been nerfed from 3.1 Tribes of the East onwards so she can't take on hordes of neutral guards on her own anymore, Nur isn't exactly an unlimited mana well until she gets going after a few weeks...

    At any rate, both games have their fans and I still play Tribes of the East via Hamachi with family since it's still a great game and fun to play on a co-op basis.
