I saw "EA Folds" and for a moment, I was happy.. Then I realized it was just EA closing yet another innovative company, and I was sad.
I saw this in the RSS feed and was hoping it was Star Control related..
If I had a dollar for every time I got "Lost Connection to EA Master Server" on this demo, I could have bought BF2942, BF2, all the expansion packs, and made my car payment this month..

Well, Tivo sent all the Cable Operators a letter in July. Does that count as notice?

I'd totally forgotten about Savage. I bought it online a while ago, and it rocked! I rebuilt my computer, and forgot about it and never put it back on. I need to go try and download it again.
I love the RTS/FPS hybrid stuff, like Microsoft's Allegance, Battlezone, and the Empires mod for HL2/BF1942.

So, now we have to go American-Idol to get into MMO Alphas?
Shipping and Handling for all the crappy HL2 posters and crap most likely.
40.00 though? Steam is listing Gold at 89.95.. ??

They made Larry look too much like a grown-up Jimmy Neutron for me, thanks...

Is this the expansion that makes the game more money?
Too bad really that they still apply cell-phone logic to this.
This 'toy' is around 349.99 if you don't buy a cell-phone contract with it. If they wanted to get market penetration, which is important for gaming, they should just sell it at 99.99, reguardless. Then people would possibly buy one just for the games.
Also, because its GSM, any person who bought one just for the games, could in the future put an existing GSM SIM card in and get cell phone functionality.
All this shows is that they don't believe the strength of their product is the games, its the cell-phone, with the games as a 'gimmick' to get you to buy it.

I liked IBM's TTS demo a lot better, I saw it a few months ago:

Sadly, its down at the moment.. but it was pretty cool.. honest! It wasnt choppy at all like the AT&T one.

"There's lots of interesting info, for example Windows 98/Windows ME users going from 62.8% down to 8.25%"
Thats because Steam is damn near impossible to get installed on a Win98/ME machine. You'd have to make a pact with the Devil to get it installed, and/or sacrifice various appendages to many pagan gods.

Call me crazy, but I enjoyed the beta of this game. I'm looking forward to it.
But, then again, I enjoyed Halo PC and currently have Microsoft Bob installed on my machine. Make your own judgements..

While I don't agree with what Jedi said, there is nothing wrong with owning a plastic lightsaber you asshat.
This game is THE disappointment of the year, if not in the history of gaming.
Wow, so you're saying it ranks right up there with Episode I?
This demo seemed awful to me. It was slow, laggy, and pretty unplayable on low rez on my Radeon 9800/P 2.8Ghz.
The Demo reminded me of Trespasser without the semi-neato physics.

I had problems with the new drivers. I installed the brand spanky-new Nvidia IDE drivers, that said to have increased speed. After I did this, Several games would fail CD checks.
Uninstalling the IDE driver fixed that though, everything else seems fine.. *shrug*

Lame Lame Lame FPS.
Fun for about 60 minutes. Its too tedious. They didnt make you go out and camp for XP (ala Everquest), but instead make you have weapons about as powerful as BB guns.
When I launch 13 Anti-Vehicle rockets into a light tank, and it is still not dead, something is screwed up.
