Is Wider Better??
The question has been brought many times and answered differently according to the circumstance ie.. cars, tvs, tires etc.. Here at oPc, we ask the question is wider better--> when it comes to pc monitors? Furthermore, will they par up to the standards our extreme flat CRTs have given us? In our continued stance of giving our clients the most up-to-date systems, we wanted to find out exactly what our guests thought about LCD monitors and wideness.
The majority liked the idea of a greater desktop space environment, HD video formats finally looked proportionate to their size, most games could be played in the widescreen mode allowing for more viewable space. An enhan

Phasing Old Games Out
oPc Net will start phasing the older games out from the new PC systems. This is in part because these games are becoming outdated as new games enter the market. We are looking into getting new titles that our systems will support. We will soon start to phase out classic CS 1.6 as we start to get our new PC systems in and focus on CS: Source, DoD:Source, Battlefield 2: Special Forces, WoW etc. You can still play CS 1.6 on our older PC models until they are replaced by the new ones.

A New Player in the Battle of the Games?
We don't know if this should even be posted up because it doesn't even count as a game. WoW's heavy competition is myspace.com, this has doubled our PC user base for online usage. Even though people don't necessarily 'play' on the PC we felt it was justified because it used time. We also want the parents to get informed and suggest asking their children about this new phenomena. Parents can also drop by and talk to us, we will be happy to work with you about what sites to let your children surf.

And the Battle Continues...
A couple months ago we had CS:Source pitted against BF2: Special Forces. They were both fighting for the same type of crowd and CS: Source barely won the standoff, unfortunately Source could not go against the power of WoW. WoW has swepted the gamer's hearts to claim itself as gamers 'numero uno' choice. We'll have to wait and see if any other games can claim top played game... DoD: Source, TM, Hidden, Red Orchestra?
