VAIO Laptops and Half-Life 2

Hi Guys!

Isany one else looking forward to the imminent (Nov 16th) release of Half-Life 2?!?

It only requires a Direct X 7.x compatable graphics card so should run quite nicely on many of the more recent VAIO's :smileygrin:

Personally, I can't wait to meet Gordon again!

PS Thanks Kee-Lo for the kind comments on my HDD upgrade thread!

No problem.

I used to be quite addicted to games back around 1994, then I said to myself "spend the time doing other stuff" since then I haven't played for more than 5 hrs a week.

I'm addicted to Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto Vice City - its demanding but works well on a VAIO.

Well I have never been a "game" person but I was given "Need For Speed Underground", no idea why I have played it a few times, and I quite like it :smileygrin:

I'm currently playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on the PS2, and the game is simply awesome!

It's absolutely huge, looks great and it seems that it is almost possible to interact with everything!

It also cotains around 14 albums worth of music (it's the PS2's first dual layer DVD game)

I fully recommend it! (a PC version should be coming out early 2005).

Yeah makes me want a PS2 LOL
I do love the way you can do random acts of crime, something you just can't do in real life LOL
When I have had a bad day I love playing it....

Really? OMG: I will be sat outside Game Stores in Telford with my loyalty card waiting for them to open so I can be first in line to get a copy!

Best thing my dad has ever bought for us - a new console the SCPH-70000 slimline console is out now with built in ethernet.

I just love being able to masacre people with a chainsaw!:smileylaugh:

Yeah it's great just to run around blowing cars up.
Should be well worth getting.

Yes it looks very cool, a mate of mine got one the other day just for GTA San Andreas and unlike the other earlier models it is totally silent!

I'd be quite tempted but I like my Satin Silver PS2, it matches my VAIO:smileygrin:

The silver PS2 is very nice indeed.

I've always thought that the Cherry blossom colour looked a bit dodgy - black and silver are the nicest.:smileywink:

Well actually it's the third dual layer dvd game on the ps2.

First: Xenosage: Der Wille zur Macht
Second: Metal Gear Solid: Substance

But I agree it is a hell of a game!!! The city big and there is so many things to do. It's an instant classic.

I stand corrected.

Personally, I thought Metal Gear 2 / Substance was a little dissapointing. That Big Rig thing was crap!

PS I hope we won't get into trouble for turning this into a PS2 Game forum, oooppppssss!!!!!!!!!!! :smileygrin:

It's the fault of this DELL piece of crap I have to use at work !!!!

Actually, It's alright, except for one thing.... .....It's not a VAIO !

Yeah I'm a massive Vice City fan I was very happy to find it ran extremely well on my laptop. But I'm holding of HL2 until I find out just how well it will run. Then again, I'll probably get it anyway :smileygrin:.

I've had to hide my Vice City CDs because I played it tooooo much
