WINDOWS 7

A friend of mine from back home recently installed Windows 7 on his desktop which has very basic hardware, and tells me that its working extremely well. I posted some pictures HERE. Those of you interested could check it.This is a good news for people with older hardware.

GAMES

I recently played the demo of Torchlight. I loved the game, but it has a lot spiders in it, which I am not pleased about. The game is perfect for me in a lot of ways, it has just the kind of save system I need. The game reminds me so much of original Diablo. I think its definitely worth buying.

I am also playing Bioshock. I am starting to get into the game and it looks really promising.

The last game I finished was Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth. Its a RTS based on the movie and I enjoyed it a lot. It has all the key battles - Mines of Moria, Isengard, Minas Tirith, Helms Deep and Mordor; they are really epic. Highly recommened to all RTS fans.

LIFE

I have a feeleing this is going to be my last blog till the end of the semester. I have an exam tonight, a submission tomorrow, a meeting on Tuesday, a homework due on Wednesday and its going to worse. I will be on Xfire of course, playing Bioshock whenever I can.

That's about all for now. Hope you had a great Halloween. Take care everyone and see you around.

I have Windows 7 and it's amazing. It's almost better than XP as performance.

Nice review too.

I loved Mirror's Edge! It was an awesome game but I agree with you that it could have been a little longer. Still it was a beautiful game in color and the storyline was also really good!

I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7 but ironically as it is... none of my Microsoft hardware (Keyboard, Mouse, and Camera) are supported by it and according to the upgrade advisor... I would have to replace all of those and more. I will have to wait until I get a new computer because I simply cannot afford to replace everything it is telling me. The pictures really look nice... and I am sure it runs awesome from what I have heard!

Good luck on your exam and studing! I look forward to your next blog when you get some free time!

Nice to hear from you after a while
Just read your Mirror's Edge review as well. I tried this game but it had a bug so I had to download a patch so I never came to finishing it. It was an interesting game indeed though I really dislike first person tunnel views and have prefered to be able to play third person. Maybe I go back and finish it some time.

I am sure you will enjoy Bioshock which is also a game I tried and it was a good game but not really my cup of tea.

I got me Batman Arkham Asylum today though I would have really liked to play Uncharted but I don't have a console

Thanks for the Windows 7 shots, I was curious. But I don't feel like paying a lot of money to upgrade from Vista. I'll get it on my next computer instead.

That was a very nice Mirror's edge review! It's one of the 4 games I'm wanting to buy before next summer (which are Mirror's Edge, Bioshock 2, Ratchet and Clank Crack in Time and LittleBigPlanet).

There have been a number of reports about Windows 7 improvements. It have caused a debate with myself to either upgrade Windows 7 or buy a new PC with it already installed.

That was a good review.

also you it took you a while to finish that mirrors edge review but you finally got there! so well done there too.

Torchlight is pretty good and yes it does seema lot like diablo. definitely a good buy for $20

I'd like to here more about W7!!
Posted Nov 1, 2009 7:14 pm PT
Glad to hear something good about Windfows 7. Thanks!!!

I think if I ever try out Mirror's Edge, I'm going to get sick and dizzy with the first person view and the heights.
Good to hear you're playing Bioshock, it's such a great game and that coming from a RPG nut, so imagine
Good luck with everything you have to do the following days and take care

Nice reivew I want Windows 7
Posted Nov 3, 2009 3:14 pm PT
Another excellent review and I think I'll take your advice and try to find this game for less than $20. It should be easy since it's been out for awhile. Well, good luck with the rest of your semester. Don't study too hard.
