    Did a quick search and didn't see it mentioned, so I'll mention Race 07 for PC. Got it for Christmas, played it most of the day at the in-laws. The main racing series is World Touring Car Championship from either 2007 or 2006 (you get to choose), but there are six other types of vehicles as well like Formula 3000 and Formula BMW. Found a track where I could slam the brakes, pitch the car and then dirt track it the rest of the way through the corner. Might be even more fun than the F1 2000 game I had on my old computer. Plus it doesn't have an annoying Brit yelling "You can do better than that, stick to the track!" when you overshoot a corner. ;D

    MW2 frustrates me to no end. I went 19-0 on one map the other night & followed it up last night with a 7-23. I was trying to get my k/d ratio to even but it's a losing battle.

    I've had games where I go 42-8, and then turn around and go 7-25. Makes no sense.

    Got a question. I have a PS3 and broadband internet service. I'm looking to get online, but my modem is downstairs, across the house from the PS3. Aside from hardwire from the modem, can I just get a wireless router, hook it up to the modem and have access? Is it that easy, or are there other hoops to go through?

    I know this has been asked before, but I don't think anyone had at that point, maybe changed now? But: Has anyone played Dragon Age: Origins? I'm thinking about getting it with some Christmas cash.

    Is that made by the same people who made Fallout? (Bethesda?)

    I believe it's made by EA.

    Bought it and I've put about 10 hours into it. It's incredibly in-depth and great for RPG lovers. I got it based on the "investment" you can get out of it - lots of reviews I read said they put around 150 hours into it and still felt like they had a lot to do. It can get a bit monotonous, though.

    Wow. I didn't make it very far past the first pipe. Took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on with the Tetris part. But that is awesome.

    Question to you all in game land...

    I'm in the market for a new LCD TV, I'm thinking about getting a Samsung or Sony 32" LCD from Best Buy that's 720P (or whatever it is) and 60 Hz (or something like that). I heard that Blu Ray DVDs are meant to be played at 1080 or whatever. Is it worth getting a PS3 for the Blu Ray and gaming aspects to hook up to a 720 HD TV?

    I'm sure others are more knowledgeable than I am, but the PS3 plays 1080p resolution, which will obviously only show up on 1080p TVs. It does upconvert to whatever you have, though. I have a 1080i TV and it looks great. From what I understand, 720p and 1080i are very close in resolution, so I'll assume your TV looks the same. I wouldn't worry that much about buying a new 1080p TV for the system when 720p is still very good (and cheaper).

    Also, nothing else - aside from Blue Rays - play in 1080p. TV goes to 720p/1080i. So people essentially be buy a 1080p TV solely for that capability.
