I'm not really equating them. I'm just saying they're on the same tier on the quality-o-meter.

And I put Deus Ex IW not very far above Big Rigs.

As a standalone game, and a known console port, DX:IW isn't too bad. Connect it in any way to the original, and it's place in gaming history is quickly renamed, "the bog." ;)

Now Fallout Tactics... 8)

Fallout Tactics was pretty good. It didn't deserve to be called Fallout 3, but it did a good job of focusing on Fallout's battle mechanics and fleshing them out to make an entire game focused on them.

The battle system had a few improvements but the scarcity of ammo destroyed most of the ranged builds.

I didn't find that to be the case. For me, it just meant that my usual hoarder style of play was appropriate for this game. Gunslingers were still useful as long as you made sure that not one shot was wasted.

I like to roam and get the special encounters. When I got to the first robot level I was screwed.

I quite liked Fallout Tactics at the time I played it.

Yeah my Bioshock is patched and I don't recall what I did but it works fine. Runs very well with my new laptop with its Nvidia 8800 GTS 512 card. Only Fov thing I read about that I used or 'was' gonna use was some trainer thing, so I said f it and didn't do it. 1920x1200 didn't look like what it should, but nonetheless it ran smooth. It was probably 1024 768 stretched out.

I got pretty far in the game with my other laptop and it ran like ass but I like it. Its almost as spooky as Doom3 was (imo) and I like the old music that plays in certain areas. Creepy 40's music.

Yeah I play at work. Fortunately I can do that. I'm at a slow fire station with wireless.
