Yep that's right, there's been scores of these starting up, but all have failed. Let's make this thread a place for PC gamers to chat. Post anything you like in here, comments, reviews, but no spam please.

OK, lets keep this going gamers. For beige box and country!!
Or something like that. :)

My PS2 games, yes as for my PC games, well I haven't sold any yet, but I am planning to sell about 20 odd of my older games I don't play on anymore.

Also Hobbo, got a free game off Ryan today, I got an e-mail yesterday asking me to choos from five Sold-out titles, so I choose Ground Control. Looks like the benifits of reveiwing for the site are starting to pay off

Yeah I'd say that's true. It's not exactly impossible to control an airplane in the game, but it easy to accidently crash it now and again. I'm not even going to attempt to fly the bomber yet.

That's perhaps one of the only problems I had with Mafia, the size it took up on the HD. It's not a problem now however, or at least it wont be until games start to get increasingly bigger (Unreal 2 takes up a massive 3gig of HD space!) as I now have a 60gig Hard Drive. That should do for now.

I only have 40 GB and I'm struggling too.

Cipro, do you ever sell your games once you have finished them?

I heard that in a review somewhere, the reviewer basically said that it was really the only thing that let the game down!

Have just had an elongated go at Mafia which looks good so it might go on my wanted list. It takes 3 discs to install so uses a lot of room that I haven't got at the moment (unless I take something else off!) so it's back to loan-gamer with that until I upgrade my hard drive to something substantial c60 or 80 Gb! which might have to happen soon.

No problem. I'm trying to get used to the airplane controls, which are slightly easy, but still difficult master.

I'm not sure about an e-mail adress, but you could go into the SR site bugs and Customer Services forum, there are always staff members in there, and they should be able to help you out.

You mean how do you get the landing craft door open? that's something which confused me the first time I played the demo, until I found out what the keys are. The default keys are the UP arrow to lower the door and the DOWN arrow to raise it.

If you want to change theat config though, go into options and select controls, then look for the LAND AND SEA keys. Look for open bow doors and close bow doors, those are the controls for the landing craft doors, you can change them if you want, or just leave them the way they are, the choice is up to you.
