I have also added a lot of new game reviews for you to check out.
BF 1942 Road to Rome,
Total Immersion Racing,
Line of Sight: Vietnam,
Black Hawk Down,
Just to name a few. Hope you enjoy reading about my reviews of the games.

I have added some new game reviews, and will in the future be adding some more hardware reviews. I did find a free PC games for the downloading,
called "America's Army". I think it is a pretty good First Person Shooter. You can read my review of in the FPS section of my site.

A couple of months ago, I bought a Visiontek Xtasy GeForce 4 TI 4600 128 MB DDR AGP video card. The graphics produced by this card, are nothing
short of awesome. If you have the system to run this card, and can afford it, Buy it. You will not be sorry.

Sorry for not updating this site for awhile.  I finally worked around the problems that are in the software they gave me to publish this site. It took quiet awhile but I did it! I have also purchased  two more computers since the last update and a whole bunch of games too, so the next few updates will have a lot of reviews—don’t miss ‘em!

Computer number 1 is a,
XPS-B1000r Dell Dimension
P III 1 GHz Copper mine with Advanced Cache Transfer
512 Megs of PC-800 RIMM RDRAM
Visiontek Xtasy GeForce 4 TI 4600 128 MB. DDR
Dual 45 Gig Ultra ATA 100 Hard Drive with controller card
12X Max. Var. DVD-Rom with Decoder
8X 4X 32X CD-RW
Sound Blaster Live Digital
HK 595 Speakers and powered sub woofer
Samsung SyncMaster  955 DF 19 inch .20 Dot Pitch
DSL 1 Meg Modem
Netgear DS-104 Dual Speed Hub for my LAN.

The second computer that I have is a P III 650 MHz Laptop. Great for when I go away, so I do not suffer from game withdraws! LOL.

 I still have the P III 500 that I do the testing on. But, I love the way the games look on this big rig. As you can see, I have been quite busy.  I have been  amazed at what this new card can do. Love the way Quake 3 Arena looks with this card. Everything is so finely detailed. If you can afford this card, and have a system that can use it to it's potential, I highly recommend you get this card.

                               

The Computers that  the game testing  are done on, are as follows;
