Sun rays burst through cracks in wooden roofs. Lightning lights up the night sky as well as dark interiors. It looks terrific and atmospheric, which is what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is all about really. But how does it perform ? Guru3D takes 13 graphics cards and has a peek at performance.

Need for Speed Carbon PC review

After the success of Need for Speed Most Wanted, the gaming world was left to anticipate what would be next. The wait lasted a little less than one year and then the word on everyone's lips was Carbon. This installment reduces the role of the fine police department but introduces team management and much needed variation to your typical car racing game.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic PC review

Being English, youd think I would be used to the rain by now, but every year, as the days draw in, become altogether gloomier and more depressing its easy to get frustrated (and wet!). It was on one such morning, that a package dropped onto the door mat. Eagerly unwrapping it, I stood staring at a gate into a world of devilry, sorcery, Orcs and villains. Ahhh.... I thought to myself... thats just perfect for a winter escape! So, in I jumped (well, actually I pressed the on button), readying myself for a heroic quest against all that is evil, and a self gratifying amount of time slaying foes by my bloodied sword... Orcs of the world beware!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Cyrodiil is a dangerous place, enter it with caution as it is in a dimension all of its own, where 5 hours seems like 10 minutes and an unexpected adventure lies around every corner. Each of these adventures is so compelling as to deprive you of the comfort of your own bed, offering some new interest. Whats more, the freedom of this game is staggering. Go buy and sell, do a few quests, some treasure hunting in one of the many caves or mines, explore the wonders of the land. The list goes on, and thats before you even touch on the main quest.
A hint at just how expansive this game is appears at the beginning with the fantastic character creation tools. I must have spent over half an hour or more playing around with every conceivable detail of my characters appearance and Im sure many others could spend far longer. It is also here that the story begins. With you, as seems to be traditional in Elderscrolls games, starting your journey in a prison cell. As luck would have it, the Emperor happens to be passing through for reasons I wont divulge here, and releases you from your captive state.

First off, who am I kidding, Im willing to bet that if you are a hard core gamer you have already played this game and you are only reading this to see if you agree with it or not. For those of you who havent played this yet, no matter if I said this was the worse game ever made, you will still go out and buy it. Why? Because its Quake and it has a history of being a game where the strong survives and blood and body parts fly. Very few developers other than id software can do this especially when one considers that it has been 6 years now since Quake III.

3DMark06 review

Last year when 3DMark 05 was released (February I think) it became the standard for DirectX 9 benchmarking and it was well received by the consumer and industry. In the months following I however honestly felt the benchmark was good but not yet perfect as some very important features where left out. 3DMark06 entails all the new features and we will take a brief look at this exciting new update of the software. I say update because in essence 3Dmark06 is 3Dmark05, with a complete overhaul of features and exciting end-result.

Call of Duty 2 Review
Posted by: on: 01/16/2006 09:00 AM [

Developer Infinity Ward obviously doesnt believe in small things, but rather aims towards grand scale of epic proportions. The first Call of Duty did this for the most part with some of the most immense battles and a scale and level of intensity never before witnessed on a PC. This has helped set the Call of Duty series above the rest of the crowded World War II genre. Now, Infinity Ward have released their sequel. Something much bigger, more refined and hopefully much better.

F.E.A.R. is the first notable attempt in a year at toppling the crown of valves epic Half-Life 2; a game that also seemed to have some similarities to busses where time keeping is concerned, although none at all when it comes to a rewarding experience. What we looked at then seemed extremely promising but have Monolith come up with a classic, and should we all be searching for a spare pair of pants?

F.E.A.R. Preview

As many of you will be aware, F.E.A.R (or First Encounter Assault & Recon for short) involves a rather mysterious looking girl in a red dress, a man with an unappetising taste for human flesh, and some rather flashy action set pieces al la' The Matrix. All of this is brought together by one of the best game engines around.
There has been a great amount of talk surrounding this game of late, and as we here at Guru 3d aim to please, it was decided we would take a quick pre-release look at both single player and multiplayer aspects of this game, with some preliminary testing and benchmark results, to give you an idea of just what to expect, and whether your brand spanking new 7800GTX will be just as scared of that Girl in the Red Dress as you!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

There are many sayings in the English language. Some offer wise insights into life, while others are, well
frankly rubbish! While bigger may not necessarily be better, and quality is often preferable to quantity, what the hell is the point in having a cake if you can't eat it? More to the point, have you ever seen it rain Cats and Dogs, or any other domesticated mammal for that matter?
By now you are probably wondering what the point is to this rant against English proverbs (or a good 'merry quip' as my Grandmother would say). But, you see, Rockstar games is a developer who's bent on going further
breaking the rules
and defying those golden nuggets of wisdom however useful (or useless) they may be.

Well if you have then FLATOUT will satisfy your wish. There are games which are almost perfect, give lots of attention to finest details and aimed to be as close to the reality as possible.

There are certain things in your childhood that will always leave an impression on your mind. Those things can never be destroyed, and will always leave their mark. For myself and countless (can you include this screen to the side others in my generation, one of these moments of childhood nostalgia begins with a simple but with text to the right? Thanks!) somewhat emphatic sentence, and ends with the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

Chronicles of Riddick

The game starts with the Riddick taken to the prison. Riddick is supposed to be one of the most wanted criminal in the galaxy. Riddick is like an icon in the game. The most fearless, dashing and feared criminal in the whole galaxy. The storyline is not the same to that of the movie; in fact it's entirely different. It starts somewhere in the past in context to the two movies that we saw on the big screen. It's actually a prequel of the first movie Pitch Black which was released in 1999. Riddick is delivered to the butcher bay by the bounty hunter and is locked up in the Butcher Bay prison.

Its the dead of night, the streets are lit by moonlight, and the fluorescent glow of neon lights from nearby buildings. All that remain awake are beggars and prostitutes. A new order is stirring, awoken by the dark, hidden from mortals by

Medal of Honor:Pacific Assault review

Yes, its that time where another installment of the successful series of Medal of Honor has arrived. The previous game in the series, Medal of Honor:Allied Assault took place during WWII, starting with the horrific, and quite fun, battle sequence of DDay. You're task in the previous game was to infiltrate the German forces and help bring an end to their efforts. Medal of Honor:Pacific Assault is also during WWII, however it concentrates on the opposite side of the globe, namely Japan on the outerlying islands. There has been many years of separation between the first Medal of Honor and this one, so there was plenty of time for improvements, graphical and otherwise.
