1. Get Tron 2.0 while you are waiting
I can't vouch for much about it now, as I'm early in the game, but it is a pretty game for a high-end machine.

7. Graphics are great
and you can play the lightcycles on their own without playing the rest of the game.

I have to admit that's the real reason I can't tell you much about the game--I've been enjoying the nostalgia of playing the cycles.

5. No kidding...
It's a lot of fun. And hey, the graphics are better than the movie!
And the lightcycles are frigging hard!

6. Tron 2.0 ran on my old P3 800 mhz...
With a GeForce 2 and 384 MB of Ram. You just couldn't have the cool "computer glow" running.
Now that I upgraded, though... :evilgrin:
And for all you people waiting for Half-Life 2: take heart.
Valve has confirmed that the GAME IS DONE, they're now just tweaking it and translating it into twelve languages. Valve is eyeing a worldwide simultaneous release for this game.

And...(there's more!)...They've already got an expansion in the works, due in 2004.

4. What did you get?
I am waiting for doom 3 to come out! What did you upgrade to? I am running an amd xp2000 at 1.67ghz, ati 9700pro, 512mb ram and creative audigy 2. I am shopping a 64bit amd chip and mb with 1 gig of ram to play doom 3!

8. lol
that's what i upgraded to.. although i got an xp 2200

i'd been running a radeon 8500 and duron 1200 w/ 384 ram

i'm usually about 6 months or so behind the "latest" because it's much cheaper and i never really notice much of a difference.

half life 2 just looked too good to skimp on the hardware.

i've been playing the doom3 leak and it's friggin unbelieveable.. can't wait for that one either..

9. I'm also waiting on Max Payne 2
Edited on Mon Sep-29-03 10:28 PM by khephra
I seemed to have a lot more fun with the first game than any other in ages.

10. max payne
was kind of a one trick pony to me.. once the bullet time thing wore off, i kind of lost interest.

best game i've played recently would be wizardry 8.. but that's a fantasy deal.. best fantasy game i've ever played though, by far.

11. Did you ever try the Kung Fu Mod?
It's really, really cool.
Kinda what Enter the Matrix should have been.
