Guitar Hero III is coming out on the pc

I'm suddenly interested in this again.

Before you poo-pah it, think about it. The PC modding community is still enormous. So ask yourself, which would you rather have? the game on the 360 and having to spend pounds-ten on every official song pack that come out, or have the game on the PC and have hundreds of user-created songs that you can add into the game yourself, for free!

I'll have some of that, thanks very much.

Oh yeah, and it's coming out on the Mac but that's a waste of time coz no-one gives a shit about the mac apart from dumb-ass designers who are all climbing over themselves to clean Steve Jobs's knackers.

Stalker - Shadow of Chernobyl

I really really wanted to like this game and i gave it so many goes (on pc) but it's too feckin' difficult.

People are raving about AI getting better and adapting to your movements so they can flank you with intelligent ducking and hiding and all that gubbins. Stalker has this, and all it does it make it too bloody hard. What's wrong with baddies walking back and forth along a set route like they did in Splinter Cell, at least you had some advantage then. In Stalker you shoot one guy and the rest run right around the outside then waste you from behind, sneaky bastards!

Jesus, this game is difficult, how many games have you played where you died at the first fucking mission? Probably not many. Of course, this doesn't make you feel very good about playing the rest of the game if you're going to get wasted 15 minutes into the game, then realise there's no checkpoint style auto-saving and you have to start the game again, which i did, then i finally did the mission, only to get killed BY THE LAST FUCKING GUY when i was on my way back to collect my reward, luckily i quick-saved it periodically throughout the mission (which is one way the pc pisses all over consoles, save-points my arse!).

Then after that just got lost and bored and ended up switching it off and having a wank instead, it was more entertaining (isn't it always though?)

And the game needs such a high spec machine to run smoothly but i'll save that rant for another day.

To summarise, Stalker SEEMS like a good game but i'll be buggered if i could actually get into it.

The state of PC Games at the moment

Is it me or has absolutely fuck all come out on the PC for months?

I can't remember the last decent game i played on the PC. I was going to update my machine over these next few months but what's the sodding point? I know there's always a dry spot in the summer for games, sod all has come out for the 360 in weeks, certainly nothing worth getting anyway. Now we've got a good few games coming out within the next couple of months, Bioshock, Skate and Assassin's Creed to name 3 that i'm looking forward to but where's the cool PC exclusive games these days?

Alan Wake and Crysis, that's it!

Without nosying around on ign and gamespot i can't think of a single other decent game coming out on the PC. PC gamers are definitely getting fucked in the ass due to the popularity of the 3 consoles. I subscribe to PC Zone but the last couple of issues have been more of a pamphlet than a magazine due to the serious lack of content. Everything's just a preview, no decent reviews. Last months issue had some war game on the front cover (i forget what it was, they're all the frigging same these days) with the words "Is this the best war game ever?" - Inside it just said "No, it's shite"
