I\'ll take starcraft over warcraft 3 anyday.

But yes, give me a new grim fandango/full throttle/monkey island game and I\'ll be happy.

Grim Fandango rocked.  I also liked full throttle, but didn\'t finish it.

I didn\'t like the last monkey island.  It was kind of boring. I liked the others though.

And starcraft freaking rocked.  I wish they\'d make another game just like that, only better.  I like quick half hour build em up and pound the shit out of each other.

Yes it does.

But I run my games at 1280x1024 so that\'s that. I do plan on getting a 29 inch monitor sometime next year though.

Still, NV cards won\'t do sm3 HDR + AA at the same time. A patch for Ati\'s HDR+AA in ES:Oblivion is expected to appear soon. (edit ; it\'s available now : ( http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=21960 )

games I look forward to :

Alan Wake (Remedy)
Splinter Cell 4 Double Agent (Ubisoft)
2DaystoVegas (SteelMonkeys)

I think his first comment meant that a single card solution beats SLi when it comes to bang for buck.

Purely performance wise, SLi might indeed dominate atm (compared to Xfire).

iv found mine useless. Everyone iv asked have said its not worth getting a second 6600GT..i got the 6600 so i could afford 2, but im a cheap bitch so i never bought the second one and never will use my SLI unless i hit the lottery and can get 2 top of the line/ second-most top of the line cards at the same time.

Not to get off your subject here, but I agree that pc gamming is alive and well. I just upgraded and there are like 20 games I am planing on getting in the next few months. However here latley I have been enjoying some classic pc games as well.
