Not a bad bet right now. The 3D graphics make the games fun to play. There is a huge difference when you use a Voodoo II card to run Quake II. Most serious gamers will already have one by the time the games come out. The boards are not that expensive (about $200) when you consider how much the box cost. I'm truly impressed by Quake II and I can't wait to see what Quake III looks like. Joe C.

Tom, Have you bought BZ yet???. I finally
managed to get 1 Creative 12 mb board and
started playing Quake 2. It's beautiful with
the GL drivers. I'm glad ATVI is going to have
Quake 3, shorts were spreading rumors on Usenet
that ATVI lost the license. I promptly corrected
the false information, but rumors do hurt.
Sin is set for next month, i think Forsaken is
going to be released at the end of this month, so
hopefully ATVI will time Sins release right.
Not much to do now but get the earnings out of
the way. Then we should pop for E3 may.
There's a few of ATVI's upcoming games and stuff posted
over at www.ogr.com. I haven't had a chance to look at
them but they do sound good. If ATVI is going to go
the 3D route, more power to them. Did you see TDFX's
numbers today?. I'm a one happy camper at this point:-)
