In 1999, Rockstar Games and Rockstar North (then known as DMA Design) furthered the groundbreaking gameplay concepts established just two years prior in the original Grand Theft Auto - with the release of GTA2. GTA2 expanded on the top-down, open-ended crime world gameplay formula with a host of new features including the advent of multiple rival gangs – seven, to be exact, including the Yakuza, Scientists, Looneys, Rednecks, Zaibatsu, the Russian Mob and Hare Krishnas. Earn your respect with each gang. Reap the benefits with all manner of shady work-for-hire gigs contracted your way. And climb your way to the top of the criminal pile. Now, longtime Grand Theft Auto fans can revisit this classic entry in the series - and new jacks who missed out on this early franchise title can further discover Grand Theft Auto’s roots - absolutely free. GTA2 has been completely optimized for play on modern PCs and is available gratis for all registrants to the Rockstar Games mailing list (rest assured your information will not be shared with any third parties, you will only receive information from Rockstar). Simply fill out the form below and check your email for a direct link to the file (353 MB .zip file, includes install .exe, readme .txt file, and a .pdf of the original PC game manual). <a href="http://media.rockstargames.com/classics/GTA2INSTALLER.ZIP" rel="nofollow">http://media.rockstargames.com/classics/GTA2INSTALLER.ZIP</a> GameR on "Dungeon Siege 2 Free Download" http://www.gametogames.com/topic/dungeon-siege-2-free-download#post-20 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:02:27 +0000 GameR 20@http://www.gametogames.com/ It’s been a generation since you vanquished the evil that plagued the Land of Ehb, and now…a new menace has awakened. In Dungeon Siege 2, the sequel to the best-selling RPG from Gas Powered Games, you will be called on to again wield sword and spell to save the world from a growing abomination many years in the making. A thousand years ago, the crusaders of Azunai crossed swords with the legions of Zaramoth in the final battle of a century-long rebellion. As the tyrannical god Zaramoth struck the final blow through Azunai’s trembling shield, the earth shook. In that moment, the forces of magic were unchained, dungeon siege 2 and both armies were consumed in a brilliant cataclysm that stretched for leagues across the Plain of Tears. Only a scarred wasteland remained as final testament to the First Age of Man. And for a millennium, magic has continued to spread to the farthest corners of the world, freely flowing to any who would command it. But the tide of magic has begun to wane, heeding instead the call of an ancient legacy. From the Plain of Tears a new heir beckons, and with each day his strength grows. Consuming those who submit, eradicating those who resist. With none to oppose his ascendance, the circle will be complete, and an ancient age will begin anew. What fate will befall the Second Age of Man? The time for judgment is nigh. <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/2/1/b21805a1-311d-4730-9b03-0504af130af6/EnglishDemo.exe" rel="nofollow">http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/2/1/b21805a1-311d-4730-9b03-0504af130af6/EnglishDemo.exe</a> GameR on "Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Free Download" http://www.gametogames.com/topic/age-of-empires-iii-the-asian-dynasties-free-download#post-19 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:58:12 +0000 GameR 19@http://www.gametogames.com/ From renowned real-time strategy developers Ensemble Studios and Big Huge Games, Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties introduces gamers to Asian civilizations and a host of new gameplay features.

Age of Empires III will once again demonstrate Ensemble Studios’ reputation for excellence and innovation in the real-time strategy (RTS) genre. The game will set a new standard for visual quality and amaze players with detail never before seen in an RTS. Age of Empires III will also excite strategy gamers with new game-play elements, including the concept of a “Home City,“ new civilizations, units, technologies and an immersive new single-player campaign that will span three generations.

Of them, 1.5 million are subscribers. Dofus claims to be the first MMORPG created using Adobe Flash technology. The game, set in a fantasy realm, features anime and manga-inspired graphics and uses tactical gameplay elements. It's playable on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows PCs. As an online RPG, Dofus has you create a character using one of almost a dozen different character classes. Once you learn the basic mechanics of the game, you go out in the world and interact with other players and non-player characters; all the graphics are rendered in a three-quarter (or isometric) perspective, similar to Diablo and other games of that ilk. Players can specialize in various professions as a way of garnering the currency you use in the game to acquire new items. While some online RPGs use real-time combat, everything in Dofus is turn-based, similar to Final Fantasy Tactics, for example. Players expend "movement points" and "action points" with each turn. The game was developed by a French game maker so it's very popular in France, but Dofus is today played in 150 countries and will soon be available in 10 languages (it's already available in French, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese). Dofus doesn't cost anything to play, but subscribing -- which starts at US$6.90 per month -- enables you to explore the entire world, participate in player-run guilds, do Player Vs. Player (PVP) combat and more. GameR on "The 15 Coolest Games of Fall 2008" http://www.gametogames.com/topic/the-15-coolest-games-of-fall-2008#post-15 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:29:37 +0000 GameR 15@http://www.gametogames.com/ You want the scoop on this autumn's best gaming experiences, and we have it. Check out PC World's list of 15 don't-miss games and the reasons why our experts picked them. How Cool Are These Games . . . And Why? Autumn is when game studios trot out their big-name stuff, and this time around we couldn't wait to discuss all the offerings. The list has something for everyone, from zombie scares and monsters that lurk on an abandoned spaceship to band-in-a-box karaoke and tongue-wagging rag dolls. In the following pages, PC World's two gaming experts--Matt Peckham, writer of the popular Game On blog, and Darren Gladstone, PC World's Casual Friday columnist--dissect an assortment of hotly anticipated sequels, like Epic's tactical run-and-gunner Gears of War 2 and Bethesda's gleefully violent Fallout 3, as well as promising first-timers such as Media Molecule's ridiculously adorable LittleBigPlanet and EA DICE's gleamingly dystopian Mirror's Edge. The slide show is arranged according to when each game is expected to go on sale. Let's get started. GameR on "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Review" http://www.gametogames.com/topic/warhammer-online-age-of-reckoning-review#post-14 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 11:53:43 +0000 GameR 14@http://www.gametogames.com/ Engaging player-versus-player combat makes this an online role-playing game to reckon with. War, appropriately, is the focus in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Few persistent world, online role-playing game have focused so much on player-versus-player combat or done it this well. Fireballs fly, swords clash, and pet lions pounce as the opposing forces of Order and Destruction pound on each other for server dominance. From open warfare to stand-alone scenarios, there are a number of ways to establish battle superiority, and Warhammer Online consistently offers in-game rewards for your combat prowess, making this game the one-stop shop for all your elf-bashing needs. There are other innovations too, though they take a supporting role: public quests that allow passersby to jump in and join the fray, for example, as well as the excellent Tome of Knowledge, an in-game encyclopedia overflowing with all the information you would ever want. <img src="http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2008/276/reviews/520538_20081003_embed001.jpg"> GameR on "Need for Speed Undercover" http://www.gametogames.com/topic/need-for-speed-undercover#post-13 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 06:57:03 +0000 GameR 13@http://www.gametogames.com/ Last year's Need for Speed ProStreet marked a change in direction for the long-running Need for Speed series. With a focus on race weekends and slightly more realistic driving mechanics, the game had some long-time NFS fans scratching their heads. Those fans are likely feeling much more comfortable with the upcoming game in the series: Need for Speed Undercover, which will feature a dramatic, cutscene-driven storyline and, perhaps more importantly, the return of the cops. Downplayed to a large extent in Need for Speed Carbon, the fuzz return with a vengeance in Undercover, hearkening back to cop-tastic Need for Speed Most Wanted.

Remove Your Xbox 360 Drive Microsoft expects you to pay close to $200 to upgrade your Xbox 360's hard drive from 20GB to 120GB. That's about $150 more than a 120GB SATA drive actually costs. But with this slightly tricky hack, you can save a bundle while boosting your game console's storage capacity to hold more music, video, and other media files. Open the Drive Enclosure Use a Torx screwdriver to open the drive enclosure, exposing the interior drive cage. Next, remove the four screws holding the drive into the cage. Slide Out the Drive With the retaining screws removed, disconnect the drive from the SATA-and-power cable, and slide the drive out of the enclosure. Install the New Drive in Your PC With your PC turned off, unplug any other SATA devices and then connect the new Scorpio drive to one of the SATA cables and to a power lead. Boot From the Thumb Drive and Format the Hard Drive Afterward, boot from your DOS thumb drive (specify a boot drive in your PC's BIOS, if necessary). At the DOS command line, type "run hddhackr –f" (don't include the quotation marks) and press Enter. You'll be prompted to make a backup of the original drive firmware; do so. Continue with the process to flash the firmware on the new hard drive. After a few seconds, you'll be prompted to restart the computer. Once you have done so, run the "hddhackr –f" command again, and it should report that the hard drive has been formatted for the Xbox 360. Install the New Drive in the Xbox 360 Remove the newly formatted 120GB drive from your PC and install it into the Xbox 360 drive enclosure. Put the enclosure back together, reattach it to the console, and turn the console on. Follow the prompt under 'System, Memory' to format the new drive; after formatting is complete, the drive will be ready for use. GameR on "No PS3 Price Cut" http://www.gametogames.com/topic/no-ps3-price-cut#post-9 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 15:45:13 +0000 GameR 9@http://www.gametogames.com/ Following rumors of a looming Xbox 360 price drop, Sony says those hoping for a PlayStation 3 drop at next week's Games Convention in Germany "will be disappointed." "It's not going to happen," a SCEA spokesman told Reuters on Friday. "If you're coming for that you'll be disappointed." Earlier this month, a proven confidant said Microsoft would drop the price of the Xbox 360 in September, from US$279 to $199 for the Arcade model, and $349 to $299 for the Pro model with hard drive. Microsoft has declined comment on the rumor. Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 saw their first price drops in late 2007. As consumers continue to gobble up the industry-leading Wii for $250 a pop (or more if resold), many gamers wonder when Sony and Microsoft will respond with a more enticing mainstream price. The Leipzig Games Convention runs from August 20-22.

The old one was terrible in terms of optimisation, you actualy needed a gaming specific pc to be able to run it at anywhere near decent settings. I've got a fairly basic pc but it runs CoD4 well. I tried the Crysis demo and it ran pretty poorly, which came as no supprise tbh. It was on low settings and still lagged a tiny bit. I have heard that the new Crysis Warhead is better optimised however, so, I am intrigued to know whether my pc would cope. Bearing in mind I could run CoD4 on all medium settings with no problems, do you think I would be able to run Crysis Warhead without lag? my spec: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz 2GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 2400Pro 256mb OnePlayer on "Best game to play with Steering Wheel" http://www.gametogames.com/topic/best-game-to-play-with-steering-wheel#post-5 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:30:57 +0000 OnePlayer 5@http://www.gametogames.com/ How do you thing, what is the best pc game to play with steering wheel?

Fans of the long-running series will no doubt revel in their nostalgia over this game, but even if you couldn't tell your Rock from your Roll, Mega Man 9 will satisfy any itch you might have for a tough but immensely satisfying platforming adventure. After suffering defeat at the hands of the justice-dispensing titular hero again, Dr. Wily has finally changed his ways and reformed for good. Unfortunately, the temporary peace caused by his retirement from failing to conquer the world does not last long as eight new robot masters begin a reign of terror. The new maverick robots were actually designed by Mega Man's creator, Dr. Light, and when Dr. Wily appears on television to claim his innocence, he shows video proof that his former colleague has decided to do what he could not. Mega Man, of course, refuses to accept that his benevolent creator would do such a thing, and it's up to you to prove him right. <img src="http://levelselect.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/megaman.jpg"> Based on the gameplay mechanics of Mega Man 2, this latest entry is a complete throwback to the days of yore. Mega Man can run, jump, and shoot, but that's about it--there are no extra frills like the slide, the dash, or the charge shot. Your mission is to make your way through each of the eight robot master's levels and defeat them in one-on-one duels. Victory means you can copy their weapons for your own use. Because each robot master is weak against one of its peer's weapons, it's to your advantage to discover and exploit these weaknesses in a specific order. The real trick is actually figuring out this order, which isn't quite as obvious as you might hope. After all, where does Jewel Man or Galaxy Man fit in? And when Splash Woman gives you the Laser Trident, whose weapon do you use against Magma Man? Of course, robot masters aren't the only ones with weaknesses. Mega Man himself is deathly afraid of heights, severely allergic to physical contact with other robots, and prone to sudden explosions when in close proximity to spikes or high-temperature blasts of heat. Each level in the game is filled to the brim with unfriendly native robots and environmental hazards that require pixel-perfect jumps and split-second timing to pass, making Mega Man 9 incredibly difficult and comparable to its NES predecessors. This isn't to say that it's impossibly hard, but it does require a healthy dose of persistence to conquer. Mega Man 9 is the kind of game that makes the next move almost perfectly obvious, and while it may take several tries to figure out a boss's pattern or get the timing of a jump down, your success is entirely dependant on your own level of skill. This makes defeat that much more crushing, but more importantly, it makes victory that much more satisfying. To help reward you even further, the game has 50 built-in challenges that you can complete as you play and vary in difficulty, from the mundane (defeat a boss with only the mega buster) to the utterly insane (clear the game without getting damaged). If this isn't enough to keep your spirits high, you can use bolts dropped by fallen enemies to purchase extra lives, energy tanks, or even items that rescue you from falls and prevent death on contact with spikes. One of the best things about Mega Man 9 is its presentation. If you're looking for fancy 3D graphics, high dynamic range lighting, and top-notch voice acting, you aren't going to find it here. What you will find are visuals indistinguishable from those of Mega Man 2 on the NES, complete with purposely added flicker and graphical slowdown. These retro graphics, when coupled with the MIDI-style music and sound effects, complete the circle, bringing the series back to its roots. Though archaic by today's standards, the visuals work quite well within the context of the game, and the entire point of Mega Man 9 is to take things back to a simpler time. Even after you complete Mega Man 9, there's plenty left to do between the built-in challenges and online leaderboards. Beyond that, Capcom plans on releasing two additional difficulty settings (making it even harder!), an alternate playable character, and two more game modes--all as purchasable downloadable content down the line. It's disappointing that these extra options are not included from the start--particularly the extra difficulty settings--but as a genuine Mega Man experience, it does make a certain kind of sense because none of these features were included in the older games this one seeks to emulate. Mega Man 9 is a fun and exciting adventure that rewards those willing to persevere with some of the most satisfying victories they will have claimed in recent times. Whether you’re looking to relive the trials of yesteryear or just want a lot of bang for your buck, you should give Mega Man 9 a shot. It won’t leave you feeling blue. GameR on "Crysis Warhead" http://www.gametogames.com/topic/crysis-warhead#post-2 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:08:53 +0000 GameR 2@http://www.gametogames.com/ Crysis Warhead takes place simultaneously with the original Crysis, recapping the events of what happened on the other side of the game's infamous island. You fill the cybernetic boots of everyone's favorite sociopathic Brit, Sergeant Sykes - AKA Psycho - and must battle your way through both a barrage of highly armed KPA radicals as well as a swarm of exosuit wielding aliens. And you thought your day job was tough. <img src="http://www.gametogames.com/images/crysiswarhead.jpg"> Now, before we go any further, let's tackle the big question: can your computer run it? I had the good fortune of testing Crysis Warhead on three separate PCs - a high end PC with a graphics card to match and dual core processors, the $699 Crysis Warhead PC, and a lower end $499 computer with a run-of-the-mill graphics card and rather basic processor. I'm more than happy to report that on all three machines, the game ran incredibly smooth without an instance of slowdown. The game's graphic customization features are vast, truly allowing you to choose the best gaming experience for you - whether it's a lower polygon count and quicker load times, or the ability to count every blade of grass in the North Korean jungle.
