It is people like you that make people like me need medication.

Not a bad little article. I like the tray and play option but I do intend to install the game first to avoid any hits. However it really is a nice option.

Seems that I will be using tray and play rather than just installing. But I must say that I'm happy that they were able to run it on a high resolution with 30 fps on a moderately good card. But the low thing frightens me, I hope this doesn't become a system hog.

It's an interesting feature, especially considering that I can get all my configurations taken care of almost immediately; instead of spending an extra 4-5 minutes on top of the 20-30 to install the game. That being said, I'm not all that excited about the feature, and probably will not use it often.

I still think it's a stupid idea. Can't you just wait the extra few minutes?

Something else to note is that it hints us to the Recommended System Requirements.

For those with Vista they know already that it has the ability to grade their computer. It seems I have the same exact computer as the reviewer so I sit in the middle. My computer is a 4.2 between the min(3.0) and the Recommended(5.0).


Hopefully I can run H2V at 50+ FPS(800X600 or the more ideal 1024 X 768) at low to medium graphics.
