You guys who were talking about it.. What OS do you use?


XP. My mates on Vista have trouble getting it to run too. I think it's because Vista is a bit naff.

I don't often defend MS products. But I have to say I think Vista is the best OS they've put out since 98, and the reason Jedi Academy doesn't run on it is because it wasn't written for vista, and is a relatively old game. They may release a patch for it, but my thoughts would be no.

Bah, I'm playing Championship Manager 4. I don't watch footy anymore, but that game is so damn addictive.

Oh yeah, and I play hearts all the time. :D

going on holliday on saturday morning and i need something to occupy me for 5 hours each way.

Sooo I'm off to into town in a couple of hours to buy silent hill origins for my psp.

I've putting off buying it til now because I know I'll play it pretty much til i finish it and wanted a treat for my holiday/birthday

Hope it lives up to the previous games now that team silent are no longer doing the developement though.

Never honestly thought I'd hear someone say that about CM4, are you sure you don't mean another version.

Same here.

I'm not really that into games, but is there any similar product to the GTA series available - I'm more interested in the humour side of it. I want to lol when playing a game.

Age of Empires.
Two main problems.
Firstly, it keeps locking up my computer.
Secondly, even on easy mode it is f***ing impossible to beat.
Stupidly addictive mind you.
