"I just bought a really, really crap game"

Called Homeworld 2

It's crap and it doesn't run on my 'brand new computer' as in the bestest specs every... needs some obscure graphics engine or whatever and what I did play the graphics are like an old X-Wing V Tie Fighter game.

Bah, so what PC game(s) should I get for £30?

If you want a space stratergy then just star treck armarda its much better.

HW2 is excellent.

It's also for sale for cheap. From me.

I whole heartedly agree.

I get the feeling Sheepy's gone beddy byes :P

Icky: Radeon 9500 isn't low range. It was the predecessor to the 9600 and was actually faster than it in Direct X 8 games. The 9500 and the 9700 were the first cards to natively support Direct X 9.

SHEEPY: Before you go worrying about getting new things or upgrading things, check to see exactly what you have in the way of graphics. To do this:


Windows XP: go into My Computer, click view system information on the left hand side, and in the window that pops up look at the hardware tab at the top, then click the device manager button. Then another box pops up. This has lots of things in a big list. Look for display adapters and click the plus sign next to it. Now tell us what it says.

Windows anything else: right click on my computer, select properties, click the device manager tab at the top of the window that pops up.
Now look the list, and click the plus next to the display adapters line. Tell us what it says there.
