The new games arent really a problem- I work in the industry and can do those reviews myself.
What Im looking for is a good base of reviews for all systems.
Anything youve played, a few paragraphs and a rating.
Theres two sample reviews Ive been able to do in my spare time-
Turok and Frontlines, check them out.

64x XP? that should run it nicely, so long as your video card is 6800 MINIMUM, with 512mb MINIMUM Ram.
Jinx- go ahead and sign up at the forums so I can make you an admin slot.
Both of you- Check the “Contact Us” page and give me the info that I put there, and an avatar.

that was videocard RAM, youll need 2gb minimum to run Crysis
if you can, get an 8800 Nvidia graphics card, with as much vidram as you can afford… Im not sure, but I think itll fit in the mac.
