Ran the Credits on God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta and I gotta say the game was awesome it's without a doubt a must play if you own the PlayStation 3. Chains of Olympus reminded me more of God of War one where Ghost of Sparta reminded me of God of War 2 with that said all of them should be played, this game takes place before God of War one but should be played after GOW 2. At first Chains of Olympus felt really short but Ghost of Sparta made up for it with nine hours of game play, I like the fact you can play through the game again with the Bonus Costumes but hate the fact you must play the game on hard to unlock the others Bonus Costumes that's something I don't care for. Over All 8.5 if I was to rate Chains of Olympus it would get 8.0 Ghost of Sparta would get 9.0 you can watch the Video Review on online. Next up Dead Space 2 I hope this time I can finish the game.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
Running through the News on Gamespy and came across this, It seems the Ukrainian developer of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise is following UbiSoft's lead when it comes to combating PC game piracy (and making gamers' lives that little bit more frustrating). GSC Game World studio head Sergey Grigorovich has revealed his team plans on implementing a fairly extreme form of digital rights management (DRM) for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which forces players to download the game in small installments as they progress through the story.
Looks like that's one game I wont be buying any time soon just like Assassin Creed 2 Permanent internet access is required on the PC. This is why having a console around can come in handy, has much as I would like to play Assassin Creed 2 on the PC I have to play it on the PS3 because I want to own the game not rent it as you play. Not everyone has Permanent internet so with that said I like to own the Games I buy.

Windows 7 (64-bit)
So two weeks later I finished testing Windows 7 (64-bit) and now its time to order it, I'm also trying my best to hold my guns from going crazy with the OS. I was digging around the Sevenforums and came across some posts that I posted and couldn't be leave how heavy I was in the OS. All this to me is noting more then a game and I love it, do Windows intimidated me like it did three years ago NO I just continue to see the work that's needed to be done. Example like two Taskbars one for the main monitor and second monitor something Windows 8 has, Pause when copying files to a USB/HDD drive or over a network again something Windows 8 has. Aldo you can easily use apps like TeraCopy and Display Fusion for dual monitors I just wish Microsoft stop playing this game because they wont be able to continue doing this in the long run, just stop and think about it Windows 7 has everything you need plus more.
Favorites
Why I removed the Favorites Page because all the URL's can be found in Top Application folder in bookmarks, I found it to much time messing about with URL's when there already exist in the bookmarks. I also added Windows page that will be linking tutorials for Windows 7 now that I have it. What have I been up to the last few days stilling testing applications you must think how much software does this guy use will just about all of them in Top Applications folder. The money I made from repairing PC's I bought Onkyo HT-S3400 5.1 got the system setup and I must say the high and lows are really good it has everything the last 5.1 theater add plus more link below. Also I'm really trying hard not to go crazy with Windows 7 because there's a lot of new things for me to play with I just don't know why I'm like this but I love doing it, this time I'll be going in with a clean fresh start on everything. All my games work great I though I would lose a nice bit of them but it turns out they all work plus the top applications but one that got replaced with TrueCrypt and some that was better then before or wasn't need.
Memtest86
After I finished testing out Windows 7 (64-bit) I added the other 4GB's of RAM today I had laying round. I have 4GB's in the system now so this would give me 8GB's total, downloaded Memtest86 and on test 5 it would just start dumping errors like crazy after trying different sticks I said all my ram can't be bad and it turns out it ant found the problem just now after I played Crysis for like two hours with DirectX 10 witch by the way looks amazing. I also ran Windows Memory Diagnostic from Windows and the test came back clean just to be on the safe side.
Quote Doctor Four I think I may be on to something: I tried each of the DIMMs individually in the first slot (A1). Each time I got the same errors at the end of test 5. Then I tried moving the single DIMM to the second slot (A2), and it got through test 5 without any errors. And right now it is running the tests and is up to test #6 and error free. It appears that even though Asus says to use slots A1 and B1 for better overclocking compatibility, the DIMMs are already at their maximum clock speed and don't appear to be able to handle running in slots A1 and B1. The DIMMs are currently in slots A2 and B2. So it appears that if you are not going to overclock the RAM, you would use the black rather than the yellow slots.
Update: After putting the DIMMs in slots A2 and B2 (black slots), it got through the entire Memtest-86 tests without any errors. This bit is not documented anywhere in the manual for the P5Q SE Plus. The only thing the manual says is to install the DIMMs in the yellow slots for better overclocking capability.

Windows 7 (64-bit) Rock Solid
Man what a week this has been after the Rage with Lara Croft Tomb Raider Anniversary and with all that Rage I moved on to Windows 7 (64-bit). A total of six days testing, installing, rebooting and much much more plus on top of that I got sick two days ago and its only breaking now. All drivers for the ASUS P5Q Pro installed with no problems and just about all my favorites Top applications work excellent, there was just one I lost and that was Microsoft Private Folder witch got replaced with TrueCrypt.
The networking couldn't get any easier the only thing I did was join my workgroup fired up the Cmd and everything fell in place really nice. I did run in some problems with sharing the printer over the network but that was also easily to over come. The PC Games was really time consuming the list can be found below, I did run into some problems and I though I would lose a lot of PC Games upgrading to Windows 7 (64-bit) but it turns out every game worked great I also tested the Razer Onza TE gaming controller I have here the same time. When I started testing I disabled User Account Control (UAC) and Aero theme.
