Many new games
So I bought a plethora of new games in the Steam sale: Rainbow Six Vegas 2, GTAIV, Red Alert 3 and Stalker Clear Sky. So I downloaded the 15GB GTAIV only to find it sucks on my graphics card on fairly low settings. So unf. So I decided to try Clear Sky, that runs sketchily on very high settings (so why don't I turn the graphics down you ask? Because Clear Sky is supposed to look freakin awesome, that's why) so I've left that now. I installed RA3 and found it to be nowhere near as fun as I found RA2 when I first played that, sigh. So lastly I left Rainbow Six because it was getting late and I thought I'd probably have the same problems as the other two FPS-style games.
So blah. So many new games and I can't play any of them nicely. Makes me sad. Which means I'll have to go and buy a new graphics card, I've currently got a 7900GS (E6600 2.4GHz C2D CPU, 4GB RAM for other specs, so in those areas it s okay) as my graphics card which is pretty lowly and I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent card to upgrade to, preferably DX10 (I have Win7) and I'm looking at £150-200 because I don't think I'd get much better under £150 (and I'm a poor student, £200 is pushing it a lot).
So opinions and information please
There is some good news however! My good friend Philip who I know from #WebDev on dA bought me Machinarium for Christmas, which was terribly kind of him
and I tell you what, it is freakin awesome, so good
I'd recommend you buy it if you like point and click puzzle-esque games. It's hard to describe, but it looks pretty, interesting puzzles, requires some thinking, has decent music and such. So out of the 5 games I got over Christmas I love the one I got as a gift by far

Things are going well. We're making good progress. Should be releasing something here soon. It helps to have people like you around for support. Thanks for that.

, nice of you to drop by, how is life anyway? Hope things are going well, even if they are quite hectic at the moment (at least by the sounds of things it is)

Hey man! Sorry about not responding in chat. I was knee-deep in code, and completely forgot to check back there.

I know. I was holding out on getting The Orange Box because I wanted EP3. But... I didn't see it yet, so I went ahead and bought it.
