I wish it was at a $29.99 price point given the game's age, so I'll wait until I can find it onsale for that price before snagging it. Supreme Commander is also going to keep me busy so I can idle around until Best Buy does one of their week-long pricedrops.

Tempting, but I just started a BG2 replay yesterday (just got out of Chateau Irenicus) and have SupCom this week. $30 or bust!

White Man said:SupCom and C&C3 demo this week
SupCom ended up singing on my computer. I get a stable 30-40 fps with all settings maxed out, although I imagine I'll have to turn off some things for insane multi games.
I started getting interested again in C&C3 when I read that Greg Kasavin of Gamespot fame took a role as one of the assistant producers on the game after he left Gamespot in December. Years of reviewing high-profile games on the PC should give him an idea as to what late-inning tweaks the game needs before release.
Hope the demo has multiplayer. I'm worried we might just get a skirmish mode and a single player level, and neither of those are what makes C&C very fun. It's all about tank rush gogoogogogogogogoogogogogogogo, unless you're playing Tiberian Sun and then it's all about discovering that you don't need sleeping pills to fall asleep anymore if you're playing it.
They should have called it C&C: Ny-Quil or something instead.
Jade Empire SE for PC ships on the 26th. In stores and on Steam on the 27th.

AFAIK, she's not one of the other poster's GF's, and she's not participating in this thread, either. (Though by all means, correct me if I'm wrong.) She's also a public figure at this point, with her picture having appeared in magazine articles and such. That makes her fair game for 'guy talk', just like any other female model or celeb. I may not agree with what they say, but they've still got the right to say it. (Besides which, I seriously doubt Jade Raymond really gives a rat's ass what some guys on a messageboard think of her nose anyway.)
Or do you just feel guys shouldn't express any negative opinions about any woman's appearance on the Internet? Are you going to jump in to defend, say, Morgan Webb the next time her jawline becomes a topic of conversation here (as it has, many, many times)?
Finally, as far as it being unnecessary in a gaming discussion, well, it wasn't necessary to toss her picture into the thread with the 'This is the only Jade I need on my PC' comment, either. Putting her photo out there like she's all that is inevitably going to draw out the folks who disagree - it's the same phenomenon you see at work whenever somebody declares 'game x is the best in its genre' like it's an unassailable fact.
Getting back on topic...
I think I'm one of the very few people who wasn't disappointed with Jade Empire on the Xbox. I thought it was a fresh, fun action-RPG, with a lot more freedom story-wise than most games in the genre. I can see how people who were expecting another Baldur's Gate/KotOR might have felt a little let down, but I thought it was great by aRPG standards. Definitely looking forward to picking up the PC version.
