Well, I got Assassain's Creed and it runs perfectly except for the cutscenes. However, I got Prototype too and that lags a bit, so...

Prototype needs a very good graphics card. It might not be the porsessor that is casing the poor performance.

Heck, I might as well get a next-gen console if that's the case. I'm more of a console gamer myself. I've recently got into PC games (since I got my laptop) cause I can't afford a PS3. Razz

Honestly man, in every way PC gaming is better the console gaming. Its cheaper, you rarely have to worry about upgrade issues for old games. And when you computer is out dated it cheaper to bring it up to date.

True, but there are some games you can't play on the PC... Infamous, MGS4, God of War III, LittleBigPlanet, etc. Plus I'm really only good with a controller. T-T

Well, when it comes to controllers it's best to get the one by the official company. i.e. Sony, Microsoft
I have found this out firsthand. Rolling Eyes

Don't have a job either, and since summer classes are the only other things I'm doing (which aren't much) I got a lot of free time. Usually consists of games or chatting on here 'cause my other friends are busy...
