Lucasarts can kiss my ...
Gamers aren't too happy that Lucas Arts has cancelled their plans for the PC version of Star Wars: Episode I Obi-Wan. LucasArts also confirmed that the Obi-Wan project will continue to progress forward and will be ported onto a next-generation console. As our forum reader 'BoogyMan' puts it "Cancel ObeWan for the PC?! Develop it exclusively for some non-existent console?!?"
Q3 Nightmare Bots
When upgrading Q3 to version 1.25. one user found that Nightmare bots became infinitely more easy to beat than in the previous Q3 version. Is this because 1.25 is a Beta patch? Check in on what others believe could be the problem. If you're having any problems with Quake 3 you can also fire off a post and see if anyone can offer some advice on how to fix your issues with the game!

Am I the only one waiting on Team Fortress 2?Â
Judging by the popularity of this thread, I guess 'Balefire' isn't the only gamer out there waiting... and waiting for the release of Team Fortress 2. Wasn't TF2 supposed to be a free add-on released with half-Life? One thing is for certain - we gamers hate it when release dates keep getting extented... and extended some more.
