We've currently listed 6 games that are released/due to be released shortly. What other games should we add on here?

Oooo, really like that idea. I suppose you have to cater to the wider market, so have to include things like WoW, MW3 (eww) and...The Sims...but I suppose it depends on how many you want to show on that page.

New releases in the coming months that you might think about having one for?

SW:TOR
GW2
Mass Effect 3
Peggle 2

List is likely endless, so hopefully you can glean some idea of the most popular and include them :D

It's Skyrim, not Sykyrim :)

Might be worth throwing in Diablo 3 there? Will probably still be 2012 for release though.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
BioShock Infinite
Assassin's Creed: Revelations

Lol i noticed this too.

Also Id suggest possibly putting metro 2033 and original crysis on there, with the talk of crysis being the game to benchmark (even still now) it would seem wise to oput that on since knowing it will play crysis max settings means you can be pretty confident it will play anything else.

Id add metro 2033 in just ebcause its awesome game but can eb rpetty intense on graphics.

I think the biggest upcoming games were mentioned by DED, Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: TOR will both be massive, I wouldn't say WoW massive, but Guild Wars 2 will have their full Guild Wars 1 community moving across, and more addon on from other MMO's due to it's solid production quality. So if nothing else GW2 is something that should definitely be on your list.

As for the sims PC's, my partner plays the sims 2, and her loading times are ridicules, that game have issues, don't know what you could do to improve all those loading screens the sims have, maybe offer some SSD drives for the higher PC, or more memory? Not quite sure what could improve it, all I know is that the sims 2 requires more out of a PC then far better games, think they need a new game dev team :p

I notice that no AMD processors are offered in recommended high/max settings for Battlefield 3/Crysis 2 & COD.
Any particular reason for this,just wondering,cos I have an AMD PHENOM II X4 970 & was hoping it would handle these games,even on high/max settings.

That should be fine, (is what I run) but its going to be mainly down to GPU.
I expect AMD aren't offered as at present their CPUs aren't really classed as "extreme" CPUs at the moment and the current Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs are far superior.


@PCS. Loving the new layout and game recomendations :) Very smooth and slick looking layout, really like it.

a Really nice idea to what i had in mind, you should now apply this to other things like video editing or music or photography or art etc etc and split them into 3 things, i was half way writing a sort of vague post on it but now seeing this, i dont know if i should continue :) lol. it will certainly help different broad areas for people seeing quite a lot of post from time to time leading to similar questions and spec help as i can see things like workstation or multigpu sections etc etc but applying this will help alot :)

memebers can contribrute if they see or feel something should be added to the working style for example video editing would require more on cpu usage than the gpu.


as for games, you could look at top pre order charts for games like on Steam, GAME, Play.com etc etc or other leading game selling websites to get the idea for interesting games in the coming months.

why not list current good pc games like shogan, starcraft, left 4 dead, batman etc etc?

a tab to click for a "all rounder" pc config sounds good? even though the configs for the games are somewhat already all rounder, some people may still not know of technical hardware when choosing their gaming hardware so an all rounder spec seems good to be added with the 6 games on the list, so far.

Like for example this one, which is an all rounder build for pretty much any game with very good settings:

SW:TOR for me ... I really hope it's good but fear it may lack the immersion / complexity I prefer in mmo's.

Although it is already out, might it be a good idea to have a couple of premade builds that will play Rift on max settings?

Not sure how big the market would be, so im just suggesting it anyway.

@corfate i had a similar spec 1st gen intel rig and played bf3 alpha honestly dont think your pc from your sig will run it sorry even on low settings frostbite 2 is the vampire of engines it will suck everything it can out of your pc and if theres not enough it will kill it :(
