Do NOT buy Ghost Recon.  The game is pretty much an alpha version.  It has waaaay too many problems.  And my disc is damaged so I have to go back to Wal-wart and exchange it for the same thing so I can get all the lovely errors the game has to offer.  Unless you want to get really pissed. Do NOT buy this game.  
It's a fact.  Stupid people have stupid children.  If you are stupid, don't have sex.  If you insist on having sex.  Have sex with animals.  If you have sex with an animal.  Make sure the animal is smarter than you are.  Just encase of some biological fluke you and the animal have offspring, they won't be as stupid as you are.   One more thing.  Don't assume the animal is protected.  If the animal has a condom, or if female some interuterian device, insist they wear it.  Help stop this mindless mindlessness.  Keep your stupidty to yourself.  This message was brought to you by the Committee of Concerned Citizens that are Smarter than You are.

Eh, I got Flight Sim 2002 today. Tomorrow I am going to get Empire Earth, and, if I have any money left, Ghost Recon. Next on the list is Civilization 3..

Civ 3!!! I so need to get this game - I just watched the 'Making of Civ 3' from Firaxis, and damn, I've gotta get it, and ruin my life with it. Again.   (You'll know what I mean if you get the video...)

Civ3... I'm not allowed to have that game.  

SMAC almost ruined my marriage. She just didn't understand about my relationship with Planet. Civ3 would just about lead to divorce.

Muhahahaha!  

I have Civ3! Admittedly I can't play it for another 6 days (which is when I get home), but I have it! From the look of it, I suggest you play as either the Germans or the Russians. The only thing that I don't like from what I've seen is the Celts are gone

I feel your pain man.  

Although she's addicted to Tetris... so we're about even.

I am sort of trying to decide between Civilization 3 and Space Empires 4...

The next games on my must-have list are Unreal 2, Deus Ex 2 and Thief 3...

One thing I will say about this - be careful with your sound settings, I played the demo and when I turned hardware sound on I slowed to about 10FPS whereas with it off it was up in the 30s/40s.

I have Civ3, playing it now actually, and yes, it rocks. Though I do miss the Celts  


 And Ghost Recon works fine for me

Hmmm... can't endorse I-war too much. Hyperrealistic, cool graphics and effects, sure, but it's HARD! And BORING besides! AND CRASHES MY COMPUTER!!!

Hard? I'm wishing it had a difficulty setting so far, so I could ramp it up a bit. And its not boring, once you start into the storyline.

Now, I might change my mind about how hard it is or isn't if I were to install the Elite Mod.
