Great game play, fun multi player experience. Its a classic.
I've been around the ID Games for many years now - starting to the Commander Keen series to Castle Wolfenstein, then all the way through the Doom series (Doom 1, Doom 2, and Final Doom). I even built my own levels for the game. I returned back to Castle Wolfenstein, then played Wolfenstein Enemy Territory on line.
First and foremost, to compare any of the Quake series to any newer FPS would be unfair.The graphics are jagged and not photo realistic like newer FPS titles; however (big however) the game play is still a wonderful experience. The multi player mode works great over my LAN and helps me waste time for hours with my son.

Great performance for the price
This video card was bought to replace a nVidia Quadro FX 3400 which came with a Dell Precision Workstation 670. While not a top of the line nVidia GTX series card (at the time of this writing), the price for performance is very good in my opinion. I got the needed boost in the video system I was looking for at a price I was very happy with.
Installation was extremely easy, as was installing the drivers for the video card. In less than ten minutes, the system was up and running with the new video card and drivers humming along giving me the frame rates I had hoped for in the games I play. Being able to add a second card and take advantage of the SLI technology also appeals to me if the need arises for me to start playing higher end games.
If you are looking for a upgrade from a older PCI-e nVidia card, this is a card you should consider for a mid range solution.

Tiger Woods 06 for the GameCube
For the console, Tiger Woods rules the landscape because of no competition. On the PC side, that hasn't always been the case. Having spent more time gaming on the PC than on any console, the only thing I can compare Tiger Woods 06 to is any of the Links LS versions I've played through the years. That isn't exactly fair to EA Sports. Another thing that isn;'t fair to EA Sports is it is a '06 version when the current version at the time of this writing is '10. I am not playing this game on a Gamecube either, I am using a Wii - It could make a difference for load times and such. With those things in mind, I'll begin.
Game Play - Woods '06 seems to be more of a arcade game than a golfing simulation like Links. The different modes of game play set Woods apart from Links since Woods has a Tour and Rival mode to be completed.
The system is fair start forward - earn points that can to used to increase various skills (driving, spin, ball striking, etc) to become the worlds greatest player of all time. It makes me wonder how the ball flight physics engine makes its calculation since one of the skills is "luck". The inconsistency of ball flight really hurts my grade : C+
Graphics - Nothing awe inspiring, but more than enough to do the job. In a gaming world obsessed with eye candy, Woods 06 is no match for the oldest versions of Links I have. Its not 16 bit Nintendo, but it is not ultra photo realistic either. I would grade graphics for this game a B
Swing Control - Being a console game, the input device is going to be limited. I favor golfing with a mouse with a click system for swinging rather than a Gamecube controller. It is hard to take a half swing using a Gamecube controller, which makes shots between clubs extremely difficult. Not being able to move the ball forward or backward in your stance (which can be used to add or subtract distance of a shot) is a serious oversight of EA Sports. Since I have not played the most recent version of the game, I do not know if they have added that function. For what they had to work with, and despite many shortcomings, I would have to give this area a C+
Playability - The game itself is a very easy game to play. There is not much of a learning curve, and the many choice of game modes allow you to get your game together before leaping on the PGA Tour mode. The Rival Mode provides practice against an opponent(s) in a setting that helps you improves your skills while learning how to play. Only on line multiplayer mode is missing from this version, I doubt EA Sports did not include it in newer versions. The number of golf courses supplied is very good - possibly the best feature of the game Grade: B+
In conclusion, for the price it is a good buy. In the future, I'll be looking out for a Tiger Woods version for the Wii. The game is good enough to make me want more, or at least try a newer version - perhaps on a Play Station or PC.
