    Right, reinstalled last night (works fine on Win7 Pro 64bit) and did the resolution hack. Gonna go for realistic (which I've never done before) and try to go max stealth. Should be fun!

    Went around Liberty Island last night and did absolutely everything I could think of. Not one kill. Loaded up on goodies and I'm looking forward to seeing Sam Carter to get my stealth pistol :rock:

    Looks even better on a 1080p 32" TV!

    That's all I've done, except my FOV is 90. I'm not bothered about improving the visuals, as the game is what matters to me, but there are mods out there.

    Looking forward to Hell's Kitchen over the weekend :rock:

    Just finished Hell's Kitchen yesterday, took me ages as I tried to catch all sidequests (probably missed some though...always missing something)

    Yeah, this is my third time of going for a complete, from-scratch play through, but the last one was probably 2yrs ago and whilst you remember most of it, sometimes you still miss things. There's a section in Hong Kong that I did the first time I played it, but couldn't find it last time.

    Of course the problem is, when you're trying to get every single little bit, I can ruin the enjoyment a little for me. I like trying different things, but I'm not a huge fan of spending hours running around areas I've already cleared looking for something.

    ROFL.

    Not that one. Literally, a phone call and a conversation with him levels before he even shows up normally.

    I think I vaguely remember that, but I think I'll just have to play through again and look for it, just to make sure. :D

    Fantastic pair of games, although the first one is substantially harder than the second (I ended up playing the whole game in quarter speed just because I couldn't keep up).

    Awesome gameplay, awesome characters, loved the desructable environment too, especially in the second. Plus
    Time Master
    is the most awesome uber baddie, even more so when
    when you get to play as him at the end of the second game
    .
