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. :)

Yeah it's not like it's ging into the Guiness book of records really. I don't know if anyone has been sad enough to even mention it to anyone really cos it's constantly changing every minute.

Wolfenstein has always had zombies in it hasn't it? It's more Doom than MoH, so it's to be expected.

Fighting against zombies I wouldn't really say would be much of a problem, as it's something new for these types of realistic WW2 games. I think it's just going to be hard enjoying the single player game after playing MOH: AA, which had a great single player mode. Still I might be suprised, and even if I don't like the single playewr game, there's always the great multiplayer side of it.

The only reason other longest threads are around 30,000 posts, is because of two things. The first is they've been up much longer than this thread, and the second is they are completely spammed up by one word and one sentence replies.

Who cares if this thread only has 300 replies if others have 30,000? We aren't here to break records; we're here to talk generally about PC games.

As for GTA3, I've seen it run absolutely perfectly on an AMD700mhz with only about 200mb RAM and a TNT2 graphics card. I can't understand why so many people are having problems with it, perhaps they aren't very good at system maintenance or something.

But yes, I think your PC should handle the game with ease Ortega. If not, then sort your PC out.

Hey guys...

I was just thinking of getting GTA 3 for my PC.

Anyone any ideas of how it will run on my PC? I got a AMD XP1800+ CPU, 512MB RAM and a 64MB GeForce 2. Should be fine innit? Just my graphics card got me a bit worried...

Yeah the zombie bits of the game are a bit guffy, but you only encounter them twice, so its not much of a problem.

I thank you, but I'll have to find about 8 hours spare to download what with only having a 56k modem! All that boredom leads to drink and you know how fussy IB is!

Have we got the longest thread yet?

If you want, follow the link below which will take you to a site where you can download the multiplayer demo of wolfenstein. It's pretty good, and will make up you're mind whether you think it's worth buying or not. It is 57.7mb though, so it may take a while download if you haven't got broadband, but it's worth it.
