Guild Wars

I'm sure many of you have heard of the game "Guild Wars", but you've prolly only heard about it and not played it. For those of you who don't know; Guild Wars is a RPG. I, personally, feel that Guild Wars isn't merely a MMORPG. When you play the game you seem to use some of the same tactics you would use in a FPS. My question this week is...

What do you think of Guild Wars judging it as a FPS/RPG?

PC Gamer

What's your guys' opinion about the PC magazine entitled "PC Gamer"? I recently asked for a trial issue to see if I liked it or not. I personally think it's great for all the latest and greatest computer news for the month it reports on. It saves me from countless hours of searching all the computer sites out there to keep in touch with all the news. I find it as being a great new addition to my "Computer Nerd Stash of Knowledge" which, yes, I do have. It's beginning to accumulate in my room.

Is the magazine "PC Gamer" a good resource in your opinion?

Dual-Core

What do you guys think about the new dual-core AMD Athlon 64s (aka: "AMD Athlon 64 X2") coming out in a few months?

What advantages will this give AMD over Intel?

HDRL

There has been much talk about the new HDRL feature for gaming. The first game engine to implement this is the engine which powers Valve Corporation's newest and greatest game, HL2. The engine is known as either "Source" or "Havoc 2". Through the online program known as "Steam" Valve plans on updating the source engine with this new feature around the transition from the 2nd to 3rd quarter of this year.

What do you think the final outcome of HDRL will be?
