Used to be the case for me but every other game is pushing technology to limits that are impossible to achieve. Games are being released that, to use at the highest settings, require graphics cards and processors that aren't even available yet. PC gaming has went downhill anyhow with too many console ports and RTS games, it doesn't help that this generations consoles are providing such fun experiences without the hassle of settings reconfiguration for each game. I think that Bioshock, the Orange Box for the 360, and believe it or not the upcoming Little Big Planet (a PC like game if I've ever seen one) are titles that really lead me to believe that PC gaming is less "fun" now. This AMD game sounds interesting but I'm unsure as to how it will help somebody decide which PC to get. Will these games be something played in kiosks at PC retailers or is this just to get you to upgrade AGAIN? I guess I'm bitter because my graphics card is burnt (last time I checked the temp it was 129C under load and idles at 89C) and is fairly new. I'm also wary of my PSU and should change that soon...
