Hello everyone...

I trust you are all as excited as I am about playing GTA 4 on the PC. I've read there are some optimizations making it look better as well as gameplay. I have tried this on the PS3 and can't get enough of it. My concern is about the system requirements. I would have preferred that my computer meet the recommended requirements but I fail in the CPU and GPU categories. I went to the "Can You Run It" website which makes the process of correlating the requirements of any game simple by pressing a button.
For system specifications please refer to the system specs tab. I have an E8400 and a Sapphire 3850 512. Of these two items which should I upgrade the most because I can't afford both? I was thinking it's more important to upgrade the video card since I've been playing games recommending quad core processors such as UT3 at maxed settings. I guess there's no way of truly knowing until I have this game in my hands which should be soon :-).

Electronic Arts (EA) fait un pas de plus sur le marché des jeux électroniques en ligne en Asie avec le rachat du développeur de jeux en réseaux Sud-coréen J2MSoft.

J2M, auteur de Ray City, Taan & Debut, continuera de produire ses proches franchises en ligne, tout en développant des jeux en ligne à partir de titres EA. Aucune des deux sociétés ne souhaite parler chiffres.

EA ne met cependant pas tous ses oeufs dans le même panier, ayant annoncé en début de semaine s’associer au Chinois NetDragon Websoft pour créer des jeux 3D MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing games) dérivés de Dungeon Keeper, le titre d’EA. Les MMORPG (ou JRLMM en bon français) ne sont pas que massivement multi-joueurs en Asie, ils sont aussi massivement populaires, ce qui rend l’accord essentiel pour la stratégie asiatique d’EA.

Des jeux comme FIFA et NBA Street ont déjà été mis en ligne par Electronic Arts.

La société dit aussi vouloir placer ses meilleurs poulains Warhammer, Age of Reckoning, Need For Speed et Battlefield Heroes en ligne très bientôt.

Like me, the Wi-Fi Alliance is based in Austin, so I asked them if they wouldn’t mind setting up a home tour that would allow me to see the future of Wi-Fi in action. In the segment below, I sit down with Kelly Davis-Felner, marketing director of the Wi-Fi Alliance, whose home I visited to talk about Wi-Fi on handsets as well as the future of Wi-Fi peering, which would create device networks independent of the Internet.

Davis-Felner says the Alliance has certified 249 mobile handsets since 2003, 106 of them this year alone. She expects Wi-Fi on handsets to be more common in the years to come — a prediction that, after reading our readers’ opinions of the BlackBerry Storm shipping without Wi-Fi, I wholeheartedly agree with. And in the last two minutes of the video, Davis-Felner talks about networking WiFi-enabled devices for sharing photos, playing games or printing without ever having to access the web.

Now it#8217;s returned for the PC, and it is (in this author#8217;s opinion), better than ever! The basic game mechanics have not changed, although the levels now do not scroll. What has changed are the graphics, which have been overhauled for the PC. They#8217;re incredibly bright, colorful, and big, and combined with the compact level design, are almost overwhelming to the eyeballs./p pThe main premise of the game remains the same: find the keys and proceed to the exit. The original games were always fairly fast-paced, but this version feels even more so (no doubt in part because of the compressed size of the levels). It#8217;s really frenetic and arcadey, and packed with all manner of collectibles and power-ups, including what I believe are the biggest fruit-to-player-character ratios I#8217;ve ever seen in a game./p pQwak plays slightly like a steroid-injected kitten inside a small box filled with over-sized catnip toys, and if you can believe it, that#8217;s actually a compliment. Even better with two kittens (co-op), to rekindle fond memories of playing games like Bubble Bobble with my friends./p pSo yeah, somebody approach this man and help him get the game on span class="caps"XBLA/span! It would be a perfect fit./p pstrongTIGdb:/strong a href="http://db.tigsource.com/games/qwak"emEntry for Qwak/em/a/p
