I know nothing about video & computer gaming.

That's the game he's saying alright, but not all first person shooters are military games.

Military sims are fun! I still have Enemy Engaged: RAH66 Comanche Vs KA-52 Hokum installed on my computer after all those years.

I'm also a fan of the Total War series...Rome Total War was the best.

And I find computer games to be quite limited, to me they're all strategy games or the generic first person shooter.

Say what?

Fallout (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm quite familiar with the Fallout series. I just think it doesn't fit into the idea of "military games" very well.

As for military sims, I find that they all suffer from too much unrealism, especially the 4x kind like Rise of Nations or Civilization. You've got cavalry and rifle men that can destroy or injure tanks.

Hey guys if you haven't seen the Kane & Lynch 2 trailers you might want to check it out. They're using a bunch of Chinese small arms like the type-95, hawk shot guns, type-79 and 05 sub-machine guns, type-88 sniper rifle and type-88 gpmg.

China's Lenovo to launch video games console

BEIJING, Aug 30 (AFP) Aug 30, 2010
China's IT giant Lenovo has said it will launch a video games console this year to vie with Nintendo's Wii, Microsoft's XBox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 in the booming motion-gaming market.
The company -- China's biggest computer maker -- has developed a prototype of the eBox console and has set up a new company called Beijing eedoo Technology Ltd. to produce and market it.

The eBox, which can be connected to high-definition television sets and the Internet, is a controller-free console that can be operated by gestures, according to a statement sent by Lenovo to AFP on Monday.

The Lenovo console "targets the entertainment needs of 120 million Chinese urban households" and will be released by the end of this year in China, the company said.

It will then be unveiled gradually in the Asia-Pacific region and other overseas markets, the company said.

The eBox would be the second in the world to operate with motion-sensor technology, with Microsoft due to launch its Kinect system for the XBox 360 on November 4.

No financial details about Lenovo's investment in the new product or the new company were disclosed.

Lenovo's foray into the video game sector is the company's latest move to diversify its business into new product types including smartphones and tablet computers.

The company launched LePhone, its first signature mobile product, earlier this year.

At the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, Lenovo unveiled a hybrid personal computer called the IdeaPad U1 -- a laptop with a screen that could be detached and used as a separate tablet computer, media reports have said.

Lenovo, which bought IBM's personal computer business in 2005, is the world's fourth-biggest PC maker by shipments behind Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Acer.

The company holds about a 30 percent share of the Chinese market, according to Chinese press reports.

Oh yeah I forgot we had a gaming thread!
I take back what I said last year about computer games being limited. Starcraft itself redeems the entire PC gaming community :p

On the subject.. Starcraft 2 Zerg expansion anyone? (Kerrigan and nova, nom nom)
[video=youtube;YBBQRwQ5YIM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBBQRwQ5YIM[/video]

And just as exciting... MASTER CHIEF IS BACK (next holiday season)
[video=youtube;TC2yMKMENdg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC2yMKMENdg[/video]

And MW3, BF3, assassin's creed and a few other less notable games etc.

But STARCRAFT AND HALO :D :D :D :D :D
