Bugs and Comments Video refresh rate: Always select the highest refresh rate supported by your monitor. This ensures a more fluid and visually pleasing game.
Sound Compatibility. Use of HeadSet (Headphones/Microphone): - Depending on the setup (operating system + DirectX), it may be necessary to change the hardware acceleration (setup panel sound audio sound reading advanced). Some drivers apply an effect to sounds read by the PC. For some setups, this may interfere with the operation of the sound engine. With some cards, a half-duplex/full-duplex manual setup is possible. For this game, the card should be set up for full-duplex. As far as the headset is concerned, if the Internet connection is poor, there is a risk of interference or breaks in voice communication during the game.
It is often possible to configure sound cards so that they only put out the sound signal on their digital output. In this event, you should check that this is compatible with the audio equipment used (you should use a digital amplifier connected to the digital output). See the sound card manual. Check that the input/output cables are correctly connected (2 cables to connect when using a headset). Do not forget that sometimes there is a volume control or a switch for the microphone on the headset lead. Graphics Compatibility.
If the game is very slow, or the display corrupted, check that anti-aliasing is not forced at the level of the drivers. If this is the case, deactivate it.

AGEIA (tm) PhysX (tm) Release Notes.) PhysX Usage and Exclusive Benefits GRAW2 exclusively uses AGEIA PhysX technology to provide interactive physics effects on the PC. The PhysX engine operates on any PC system to provide overall game-play and effects physics.
Beyond this, the game is designed to take full advantage of the AGEIA PhysX Processor - the world's first and only dedicated PC physics accelerator. Gamers with PhysX cards get access to enhanced and exclusive bonus content in addition to the game-play and effects standard to the software PhysX engine. In particular, card owners unlock: 'AGEIA Island' - a level designed for a more extensive physics experience showcasing fully realistic and interactive environments possible only with PhysX acceleration. Agiea Exclusive AGEIA's PhysX Brings New Physical Realism to Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter® 2 AGEIA Previews Exclusive PhysX-Enabled Content at Maximum PC Showdown LAN 2007 AGEIA Technologies, Inc.
The pioneer in hardware-accelerated physics for PC and console games, today announced that AGEIA PhysX will be helping to provide a new level of realism in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter® 2 (GRAW 2) from Ubisoft. Leading-edge video game developer GRIN has leveraged PhysX to extend the visually rich and complex GRAW 2 to an entirely new level of game realism and interactivity, with dynamic gameplay physics, impactful environmental effects and persistent destruction and debris throughout. The game also features an innovative PhysX hardware bonus level that delivers an action-packed, physics-intensive mission available exclusively to owners of the AGEIA PhysX accelerator. 'With PhysX, we are able to bring gamers a realistic combat experience they will crave to play over and over again because it's never the same twice,' said Bo Andersson, chief executive officer of GRIN. 'The physics system is built into everything in the game from the characters to tanks to buildings and every other object within the game world. When something explodes, the physics engine kicks in to create superb explosions, emitting debris which affects gameplay.'
Not only will all levels of the game be enhanced with PhysX, but owners of the AGEIA PhysX accelerator will be able to take on an additional hardware-accelerated, fully immersive mission known as 'AGEIA Island.' This exclusive level features a fully destructible environment with groundbreaking environmental physics and persistent effects. Here, gamers can morph the environment to complete the mission in new, game-changing ways. Nearly every element in the level is physically modeled to enable strategically significant real-time interaction. Shoot individual planks of wooden fences to expose the enemy; destroy trees to get a better look at an opponent; blow up towers and buildings to take out the enemy within, while the flying debris impacts those nearby. Environmental effects such as blowing wind send swirling leaves and debris flying throughout the landscape to add to the 'in-the-game' experience and create new challenges that directly affect how you interact with the game. The PhysX processor also enables more persistence of effects throughout the AGEIA Island level, for a more believable experience.
The game is never the same. 'AGEIA's PhysX redefines how games should look and feel and, more to the point, how they should be played,' said Manju Hegde, CEO of AGEIA Technologies. 'Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is a fantastic example of how a great development team can leverage AGEIA PhysX to enrich the game-play experience and deliver a compelling game that people will want to play again and again.' AGEIA will debut the PhysX-enabled AGEIA Island level in an exclusive sneak preview at the upcoming Maximum PC Showdown LAN 2007 event in San Jose California from June 15 to 17. Gamers will have a chance to play against Ubisoft's Frag Dolls as well as win prizes in a GRAW 2 tournament in AGEIA's Booth #109 over the weekend.) Settings and Performance There are three levels of PhysX adjustable via a drop-down sub-menu in the game-menu: 'Options-Video-Advanced Settings'. These levels offer variable scale and sophistication of environmental physics and interaction.
At run-time, the game will automatically detect for the existence of a PhysX card and default to: 'Normal' if no PhysX accelerator is detected and to: 'PhysX High' when a card is detected. The 'PhysX Extreme' option is available for users willing to push physics to the limit on the most powerful systems with PhysX hardware.
Gamers are recommended to leave these settings at their default levels or go lower if they experience performance issues. A dual-core PC plus PhysX card is highly recommended to play missions at: 'PhysX High'. All game physics is exclusively based on AGEIA PhysX SDK v2.7.1. The corresponding system software (driver) is distributed with the game.

Borderlands I & II These are my personal favorites. Borderlands combines first-person shooter action with role playing game character progression. Players can choose between four characters, each with their own skill tree. Players complete quests and missions, leveling up to the game's epic ending. The arsenal includes hundreds of thousands of weapons and vehicle-to-vehicle combat is intense.
Borderlands Pre-Sequel is just out, with backstory behind Borderlands 2’s villain, Handsome Jack. If you plan to check that one out, play the originals first! Gears of War 1, 2, & 3 This is a great third-person shooter series that will bring you hundreds of hours of fun in either campaign or horde/versus modes. Follow the troops of Delta Squad as they make their last-ditch effort to save the planet Sera from the subterranean Locust Hordes and their mutant counterparts, the Lambent. For good reason, the Gears of War games are among the most played on Xbox Live. Each game features cover-based combat, so players can hide behind objects to avoid gunfire.
Each one also offers several different multiplayer modes, allowing players to compete against one another or team up to battle AI opponents. Call of Duty: Black Ops This game's Zombie mode offers many hours of fun killing. Plus, if you get three others, you can do some nice multiplayer play. Don't screen-cheat! Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Set in the year 2025, this is the next intsallation in the COD series. Black Ops 2 has a lot of changes and improvements that set it above the earlier episodes and make it shine. There are Zombies split screens as always, and it is possible for up to eight players to play.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Another COD. Needless to say, the new Survival or Special Ops modes are a lot of fun to play with a friend. I put over 60 hours with my friend in the first two weeks I had the game. Yes, I'm a fanboy. Halo: Combat Evolved The series that started it all for Xbox. Great co-op campaigns in military science fiction style. An interstellar war has broken out between humanity and the Covenant, a religious alliance of aliens.
Combat Evolved is the first in the series and is still one of the best video games of all time. Halo 3 The fantastic conclusion to the story set into motion in Combat Evolved. Halo Reach Another first-person shooter game similar to Combat Evolved but with a great new addition: firefight. Halo 4 From the next great stop in the Halo series, Reclaimer.
This game has four-player split screen for some modes and is definitely the best in the series (in my opinion). Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon This is a lower-budget series made by a Japanese company, but still a lot of fun. The Earth Defense Force must protect the planet from potentially hostile alien beings. The EDF must defend New Detroit with help from bio-engineered terrestrial insects.
Players go by the name 'Lightning Alpha,' and lead an elite team of fighters, known as 'Strike Force Lightning.' Insect Armageddon is the fourth game in the Earth Defense Force series and the first one to enable online co-op play. Splinter Cell: Conviction Great stealth, third-person shooter action. Really addictive and fun.
Army of Two Another shooter that's decent co-op fun. Either like it or you don't. Rainbow Six: Vegas A first-person shooter game that is really one of my favorite split screen games. Give this one a shot. Kane & Lynch A pretty horrible game, but the co-op features are a lot of fun. Resident Evil 5 The shooting isn't the greatest, but it's a pretty good game that you should try.
All Zombies Must Die A Xbox live arcade game that is really fun for the price. Totally worth the download. Portal 2 Addictive and challenging puzzle game. Try this for sure. Dead Island Not a split screen game, but you can system link it with a friend for a lot of fun.
Castle Crashers Xbox live arcade featuring four-player split screen with a lot of (immature) fun. Fable 3 A role playing, hack-slash type game, really fun for many hours. Resident Evil 6 In my top five favorite games. It has great horror, action, and gameplay with a pretty big campaign. Dynasty Warriors 6 A JRPG hack and slash game. Fun for those kinds of players. Tekken 6 An arcade fighting game to show you can beat up your friend.
Rage FPS Co-op Missions that are really fun but it'll only take a few hours to beat it all. Outfit A very cheap game that is actually very fun. Give this one a try for sure. Lost Planet 2 Third-person shooter game that is kind of annoying, but the co-op is pretty good.
Dungeon Siege 3 RPG that is pretty fun if you're into RPGs; if not don't try it. Unreal Tournament 3 It has great FPS campaign that comes in different modes like CTF, TD, warfare, and many others. It also has vehicles which add a lot of fun to this game. Mortal Kombat Arcade fighting game with pretty good co-op gameplay in ladders and even online matches. The Expendables 2 Great XBL Arcade game that features four-player split screen co-op. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Great arcade fighting game that you and a friend can dominate and work together to defeat other teams around the world for great competition.
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse Has pretty fun split screen co-op, but it is very short and you'll finish within 5-6 hours and never play again. So this game would be great to rent or borrow, but definitely not buy.
