A demo was released on Xbox Live last night and the PC demo will be coming this month. It is the best FPS I have ever played... It releases on August 21...I pre-ordered the Limited Edition. Basically it is a horror FPS game with RPG elements. The graphics are amazing, sounds, environments, EVERYTHING. It is something to truly savor. I am so hyped...

Here's a screenshot:

I remember seeing a short video of some Bioshock gameplay and being absolutely stunned by everything I saw. The thing that stuck out most to me was the unbelievable water effects. If I make enough money to finish building my gaming computer this fall I’ll be buying it for sure.

If anyone here has played System Shock 2, this is made by the same people and kind of a sequel in a way. They don't have rights to the series anymore so they made something completely new.

I watched my friend play this on his 360 tonight. This + Tiger Woods 2008 + Assassin's Creed coming later this year might be enough to get me to spend the few hundred bucks to get an Xbox 360.

A little off subject, but speaking of Tiger Woods 08, I want to pick this up when I get the new game. Right now, it's available for PC and PS, but it's being created for Xbox as we speak.

I've never liked the Tiger Woods games. My absolute favorite is Hot Shots Golf, too bad I don't like the PS3 (but I had all of them for PS2). The Mario Golf series is fun as well but I prefer Hot Shots. Neither are realistic like I imagine Tiger mostly is but I find Hot Shots far funner...

I had a blast all last year playing Tiger Woods '07 for the 360 with my roommate. We would co-op two-on-two best ball matches against a pair of "Sunday Tigers"

The game I can't wait to see come out for the 360 is Mass Effect.

Looks like BioShock has done a really good job of pissing PC people off recently...what with the widescreen compatability problems and the software protection. Only two installs ever? What a joke if it's true.

It is an amazing game, but I got it for 360 so I avoided all of these problems.

It does use a lame form of security, yes, but it is worth playing. Basically when you install it you use up one install, if you uninstall it, it gives that install back. So technically you can have it installed on two machines at once, and you can uninstall it to earn those installs back. If you use both your installs and your computer both break before you can uninstall you just call the company and they will give you a manually override code. Is it a pain? Sure. Is it necessary? I don't think so, but it isn't a reason to pass this game up. The widescreen issues are overblown. I didn't notice until someone pointed it out and it still doesn't bother me. Basically the widescreen is fine, but they shrunk the 4:3 image to include all widescreen content, and instead of having black bars at the top and bottom they just gave the top and bottom additional screen real estate. They wanted everyone to have access to all of the horizontal information, but didn't want anyone playing on any TV to have black bars. Basically you could consider the widescreen mode normal, while 4:3 mode gets all the view of the widescreen, in addition to more vertical viewing. Since they did the 4:3 so strangely people thing the widescreen is wrong, when in actually they just did the 4:3 unlike any company has done before. So basically the 4:3 mode is kind of "zoomed out" while the widescreen mode is played as intended. It is much smaller and shrunken down in 4:3 since it has so much on screen, they designed the game in widescreen and that is how all of the developers play it. Both of the above "problems" are mainly issues of ignorance on how technology works. The widescreen is fine, and the activation would be fine if it worked properly but I hear people are having issues. The game is 100% golden on 360 and is fine on PC as well as long as you have the rig to run it. Every game has issues but this game is amazing, I'm loving it. I'm playing it on a 52" HDTV in 720p by the way. It is the second best game of all time on GameRankings now, and I say with good reason!

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
