Reply to Recommend an MP3 player in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

I just a bought a new and quite cheap one. The Sansa clip. It's very popular and has a nice clear screen. It's much better than the Ipod shuffle and nano. It has great sound quality (far better than any Ipod, especially if you buy a good headphone/earphone set) and the battery life is also fine. The best thing is that you don't need Itunes to synchronise your music. Give it a try I would say. It's also so cheap that you don't have to worry about losing or damaging it.

I find it quite strange that there are no reviews available of this game. I hope they come soon.

Armada 2526 in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I was wondering if any of you have tried the new game Armada 2526? It seems very promising. I like that the game focuses a lot on macro management and quick play instead of coping with tedious micro management and long ship battles and ship designing aspects (various weapon types etc..). I also like it because it is tbs instead of rts like Sins. It will be better playable on laptops as a result (I presume). Unfortunately, there are no reviews available yet. Only a preview of IGN. That's why I

Reply to Best RTS Game in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

I don't like the micro management type of RTS games (although StarCraft was great). I would vote for Sins, Rome TW and Homeworld (I should really install that game again, does it work with Vista?). Supcom looks nice, but is also lots of micro management and is incredible system resource consuming (why can't they fix that?). Any good RTS games coming up soon?

Interesting survey on Lifehacker. The new Microsoft anti malware is very popular. Maybe I should try that one. Go to: http://lifehacker.com/5399564/five-best-antivirus-applications

How do you protect your pc? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

After going through a full installation of windows and all my software etc that took me almost a full day, I want to be protected, but not too much so as to have enough system resources for playing games. What security software do you recommend for anti-virus and anti-malware? Which ones do you use? Does the browser you use make a lot of difference? Is Google Chrome better than IE8? Thanks for your kind advice!

I agree Shift seems a good game. Now I just have to get a steering wheel, because with a keyboard it's too difficult and less fun.

Reply to Empires of Steel beta demo in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I've just tried the demo. Seems like a good game. Resembles civ a lot. Although it is much easier and quicker to play. I wonder how the AI will be considering the budget the company is likely to have. The thing I like more about this game than cive is that it starts with the modern age and that key resources are more important than in civ. Worse than Civ are the graphics and on a relatively high resolution it is difficult to guide units over the map. I recommend everyone that likes non-scifi

Movie reviewers and websites in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Which ones do you use? I prefer rottentomatoes and IMDB. Are there any particular newspapers/magazines/websites that have exceptional reviewers? PS What do you think of the upcoming scifi movie The Road?

Reply to What Do YOU want to see in Gal Civ 3??? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Maybe the game can be made more simple. With all the expansions the game has become deeper but has also an increased learning curve. So I would propose to have some aspects simpler, such as the combat system.
