How easy is it to play with quad hands? I've still not found a game that holds my interest since SCI

The mouse is used mainly just to move.. I don't play castors so it's not to bad.. There are a few voice softwre setups that supposevily work, Haven't tried though. But with quick keys it' s quite playable.

I've realized I wrote "platform" in my op, when I meant "console". Doh.

Ratchet And Clank - wooaaarrrrrrr!

My son has the PS2 with a quad controller. He's C4 asia B. He started playing poker cause you just press X. He has progressed over the last 9 - 10 months to beating golf and tennis games then "MX vs ATV unleashed" and was ripping it up on "Guitar Hero" until you have to sip and puff at the same time. I'm simply amazed. Too much fun.

Are they Vista friendly...

I love RPGs. The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is an amazing game.

The Elder Scrolls sounds like just the type of game I like. I've been playing PC based games for years (Lincoln and I used to play Pong together) and do enjoy RPG's. My nephew has been trying to get me into World of Warcraft (I think mainly because he wants to beat my butt!). My present PC can't handle the graphics though and a number of other games I've bought recently just bog down my computer.

I broke down earlier in the month and bought a new computer with enough memory and a descent graphics board. It is a Vista system and I don't want to go back to XP, but finding games that are properly marked as being compatible with Vista is another matter.

Do they have a version of The Elder Scrolls that is compatible with Vista?

yeah, once u get the hang of it. your actions/spells/ect can be keybound; num lk causes you to run foward continuously [as opposed to holding W key or up arrow]. everything can really be done with the push of a key or click of the mouse.

I play WoW as well. It's a pretty easy game to play because you can assign keys to do just about everything.

Haven't played WoW yet but definitely looking forward to play that as I guess most of the gamers around are playing this game so there has to be something different in that.

I like to play single player shooting games on my PC and the best ones so far which I have played till now are Deus EX, Project IGI 1&2, SWAT, Half-Life, Return to Castle Wolfestein and Hitman.

I tried a demo of Hitman (ps2), but it wasn't for me. Do you ever get to see the hitman's face? I couldn't get him to face the camera at all.

Mahjongg & Civilization for me. I've found that if I sit in my chair at the computer, I forget to do weight shifts. That's bad.

I can play card games, mahjongg & Civilization using Dragon. Yes, it takes time. But I can do that while lying in bed, so I don't have to worry as much about weight shifts. But other games, those not "turned based," are nowhere as easy.

Voooo... it needs a subscription!! I thought I just gotta buy a CD of it and that’s it. Well I’ll definitely try the trial version and see how it works for me.

Have you played it? If yes then, how much will you rate the game personally on a scale of 10?

I'm not sure about the ps2 but when I was playing Hitman on my PC there were some stages where I got a glance of the character and at certain levels where the Hitman is conversing with some character the camera angle moves automatically and you are able to see him and believe me you don’t have to be lucky to spot him in that angle.


In all it was an amazingly realistic game to be played and I think you should have played it though in the starting stages you will feel that its a little hard but as you progress through the game you'll get the grip of it and definitely like it.

I never played because of the fee. Thousand do so it must be good.
