There seems to be a large disconnect between the My Gamer site and the forum, the forum could almost be independent which is a shame. I think there should be a My Gamer section within the forum with categories such as Announcements and Reviews. That way people are encouraged to come into the...

I see a theme going on here. I also must admit racing games but its usually because of the poor controls. I do some casual racing in real life so I know how to handle a car, where the apex is and what approach I should be taking. Some games (not NFS) do a really good job of mimicking the...

Just a side not what are they doing with these older consoles. I doubt MS will be just storing them away in a store cupboard somewhere. Maybe they will be putting them back on the market through resellers at a slight mark up. I held off buying a 360 and PS3 till the next gen came out expecting...

Hey just wanted to throw this out there. I have had issues with my Sapphire 7850 OC edition since day one. Whilst it has come factory OC even at stock it seems to have been running into a BSOD every now and then. I don't think the actual card is faulting as even under low load the driver will...

I'm struggling to find anybody I know who has bought it. After watchdogs people were (rightly) very cautious. Has anyone here bought it? If so, apart from the performance issues if you have managed to play it how does it rate up to the rest of the franchise in terms of gameplay and story...

No, not really. The problem is that whilst they make up the minority of gamers they leave such a lasting impression we remember then continuously. What about in the old days when kids were the majority gamers, now that they are adults they expect kids of their age to not access the most popular...

It's been in development for a while unofficially, people know Valve are working on it but Valve aren't saying anything about it. Ill preface by saying this is an assumption by the public. Gabe confirmed they were developing a new engine - but did not say what engine. A large part is that they...

There's clips at the top and bottom of the ram, when you pushed it into place did you notice them clip upwards. You need to push these back down and the ram will pop up - it will make sense when you do it, just remember if you struggle to fit it back in check you dont have them upside down as...

TF2, the fact that even 7 years on they are still adding content and major updates (such as bumper cars for Halloween). Originally I got into the game for trading and hats, then actually discovered I really enjoyed it compared to most FPS. The biggest thing is that when you die to you usually...

Whilst you have your basic controllers such as keyboard and mouse or a gamepad several genres have alternative controllers that are almost mandatory after a certain point. For example look at online racing such as iRacing - a wheel is almost a requirement to have a hope in hell and most...

I still think that whilst the adoption of VR will go up there will still be large base of gamers who don't use it. Could you imagine going to a LAN with all your VR kit. What about people who get motion sick? I think for some games like your MMORPG's its almost guaranteed. For other games the...

If your going to turn up the frequency in the BIOS make sure you know how to reset the CMOS in case the machine doesnt boot - this will reset any settings you have changed. To reset the CMOS there usually is a jumper you move to a certain set of pins then back - I'm afraid only your manual can...

I found my AMD key was an insert in the box the graphics card came in, usually with all the paperwork? Do you still have the original box if so it might be worth a double check.

I think a large part with the Sims 2 was that (almost) everything people wanted changed, added or removed from The Sims was done. I remember it took me 2 weeks after the game came out to finally get a copy. People would talk about how much changed and as a base game it was fantastic. The DLC...

Sorry maybe I was too technical. The memory is running slow, most computers of your spec would have the memory running at 800 not 500. This means that the processor finishes all its calculating then has to sit and wait for the memory to catch up. Whilst its waiting for more data to work on it...

Thats weird, I have a Q6600 and I generally am not bottle necking in games (except CPU heavy games). My RAM is overclocked and runs 1066Mhz however the stock is usually 800Mhz. At 533Mhz it sounds like the memory has dropped into some sort of compatibility mode or something is wrong. If they...

I have noticed that since getting into higher education gaming is accepted a lot more. I personally think that people get frustrated as they don't have the time or inclination to learn games. Hence casual gaming is almost a norm as Maxprime94 said. Its the same reason why gamers tend to not be...
