Is it like a war game?

Title: Re: Games?
Post by: macdad- on April 23, 2009, 11:44:52 AM

No, Its "Tactical Espionage Action"  :D

No its like a FPS, but your goal is to get in Stealthy not shoot the crap out of the guys unless necessary.

Title: Re: Games?
Post by: macdad- on April 25, 2009, 05:25:02 PM

Nope, MGS not made by valve.

Any game made by Valve requires Steam.

The below link is for a good site that has lots of demos. You have to register but that is free.

I dont mind that as long as I use one of my other accounts.  I mean like if I have classes I can go faster even at my grandmothers.

Squall,

When you go to fileplanet don't click on register. Click on Login. This will bring up a screen where you can either sign in or register. Fill in the registration info and click "Create my account". This will bring up another screen telling you that you can pay to subscribe for different things but don't worry because there is a button in the bottom left hand corner that says "No Thanks" below the button it says "continue to my free account". Click that and you should be good to go.

Same here, Download.com can be picky about bandwidth at times.

Post by: squall_01 on April 28, 2009, 08:00:10 AM

The game is nicely done an everything, but it makes me sick with the movements and such.  I think that I need to change a few settings.

Its better with a gamepad, but after some button mapping, It was easier on the keyboard.

I would agree.  So a joystick would work the best?
