Whereas owners of Geforce 9600 GT and 9800 GX2 could use fresh drivers of the 174 series, Nvidia, until recently, offered the Forceware 169.21 as the only WHQL driver for the Geforce 8 series. Now as the 175.15 has finally arrived in WHQL, PCGH made the test with Crysis, Race Driver GRID, Half-Life (with the infamous Cinematic Mod) and UT3.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
I was using 169.21 drivers with my 7950GT's in SLI and games and video were constantly freezing on me. Not locking up my PC or anything, but the video on my monitor would pause for 3 or 4 seconds. I've since rolled back to 93.71 and everything's running smoothly again. I'll most likely upgrade to something in the 9 series this year, but for now these boys suit me just fine.
