I got Company Of Heroes free with my 8800GT, it also included the DX10 patch. Im not usally keen on RTS games so its been sitting here collecting dust, anyway i thought id give it a go today because i got bored (Dam doctor signing me off work again!!!). Im glad i installed it though as it totally rocks!. Seriously one of the best games ive played this year!.

Call Of Duty 4 is also one of my recomendation's, yeah it's a little short, brought it friday, completed it yesterday (not as quick as Chilly Shocked ) but it's got some fantastic moments, that just seem to make it worthwhile, best COD yet.

I was having a few problems with my 8800GT but thats now sorted, unfortunatly my XFX Alpha Dog Edition XT card thats pre-overclocked to 640Mhz Core / 1900Mhz Memory was overheating due to nvidia's poxy single slot cooling, it's bad enough that the fan sounds like a chainsaw on full whack but having purchased a pre-overclocked card it seem's like a waste to now be running it on stock. The drivers are suppose to raise fan speed when it hits a certain temp but as any owner of this card will tell you doesn't work, you have to set it manually to 100%) So now im on the look out for a waterblock.....Oh yeah, got my money back from barclays for the fraud finally, after 2 dam months and countless complaint's, so as soon as more 8800GT's are in stock i'll be running Sli Very Happy

Final note: November seems to be a bitching month for games, with the like's of COD4, Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3 to name a few. I may be pre-occupied for a while Wink
