Yuri's Revenge,

jianh — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:37:09 +0800

Recently I've installed Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge into my PC and when I start the game, my PC shows me this:

What is the problem behind and how can I solve it?

Oh yeah, I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2, not Windows Vista..

Take Two might be taken over by EA, Currently In Talks

QUOTE

Take-Two says it expects to sign a confidentiality agreement with EA allowing EA to enter into Take-Two's formal process to evaluate strategic alternatives. Which basically means they're about to settle into some sort of talks.

Strauss Zelnick, chairman of Take-Two, said, "We welcome EA into our formal process and look forward to demonstrating to their Board the significant strides made by Take-Two since they last undertook a detailed review of our business in early 2007.

"Our Board remains unwavering in its belief that EA's unsolicited conditional tender offer of $25.74 per share was inadequate and undervalued Take-Two's world-class entertainment franchises and our strong operational and financial performance."

Ben Feder, CEO, added, "We are continuing to consider all alternatives that will maximize value to our stockholders. As part of that commitment, we are engaged in discussions with other parties as part of a formal process to generate greater value and will act quickly to assist EA in moving expeditiously through our process.

"In the meantime, we remain focused on executing on our business goals and creating value for stockholders and consumers of our products."

Has Take-Two caved? Could a deal be on the cards sooner then we thought? Do you care? Thoughts below.

Teh sauce is here...

any thoughts?

Personally...if this deal goes through...I'ma say buh-bye to GTA 5

Where to buy Civ 4: Beyond the Sword,

wankongyew — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:22:58 +0800

Title says it all. I've been looking for the Beyond the Sword expansion for Civilization 4, but it doesn't seem to be available in Malaysia at all. It's available as a download from various places, eg. Direct2Drive and Steam, but neither of those will sell Beyond the Sword to Malaysians. Anyone have any suggestions?

By the way, the only reason I want to buy it is so that I can play the Fall from Heaven mod.

State of online multiplayer gaming in Malaysia, Why are there so little Malaysians?

frags — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:00:49 +0800

This question is related to only online multiplayer components of retail PC games, not online MMO's, casual games, or free online games.

I've often wondered why in most games, the Malaysian community playing it online is very little. I used to play World In Conflict and based on the sales from pcgames.com.my, according to them it is one of their best sellers. But even during peak there was roughly only 25 of us Malaysians online playing this game. It seems to me there was a hell of a lot more people who bought the game and only played single player.

I'm sure it is the same for COD4, and almost all strategy games. Is this something more prevalent in strategy games? Are FPS gamers more inclined to play online? Or is it mainly because of our poor broadband infrastructure and bad routing? WHy is it not mainstream enough?

I know it could be a multitude of reasons but try to pick out the main one or if you think there are other factors involved please post your thought on this.

PS : There are some exceptions such as TF2, which is multiplayer only. Obviously everyone who buys it will play multiplayer since there is no single player component.
