Turn The Screws!

Open your eyes, look in front, look at the back, look at any angle and you will see something that is an engineer's creation.

Engineers have been making things possible that others could only imagine. It perfectly makes sense to have a common place for engineers from around the world where they can share ideas, innovate, & help each other. Engineers are eternal, with the younger at 62 & the youngest at 17, the CEan gang consists of working professionals, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs, professors, geeks & nerds.

Arrow Gaming ! (on the PC, of course)

until recently, I didnt know that the term gaming referred to gambling in general... I was shocked !!

but I, being the clean soul that I am.. , of course, referring to games on the computer....if there are any gamers around on CE... it will be great to have a shared library of games cds and dvds... since its impossible to buy 'em for most of us.. (at least the unemployed engineers..hehe..)

jokes aside (we really can share games, if anyone wants !!)... can we have some dedicated reviews of games on CE... not like the ones on IGN or gamespot...just plain simple things... to play or not to play will do...


these days I am mostly playing NFS Most wanted challenges... has anyone completed them all??

Yeah suyash, i completed NFS Most wanted challenge series and loved all of it. Great to know some1 on CE is interested in it too. But i bet there must be others as well. As far as i'm concerned, its my fav racing game.

thanks big K !!

to mahul : I totally agree with you, NFS Most Wanted is simply the best game in the racing genre, in fact I didn't like Carbon/ProStreet as compared to Most Wanted.
btw, let me know if you still have the game installed on your machine, cause I'm really stuck up big time on challenge #59 and #60 for quite some time... I'll be glad to mail you the save game file and hope you complete that race for me.. It will be a huge favour !!

please help me !!

to other gamers on CE : which other games are in vogue these days guys?

I'm a bit old games guy, I like playstation 1 & 2 games

I've them as PS & PC games..

The most one is Driver series I LOVE IT!! I learnt car driving from this game It's the only cars game that simulates the real car perfectly, like when you hit some car with certain force not like hitting with higher force it doesn't cause the same damage & physical damage on the car itself & some great enviroments to drive in & exicting missions to accomplish, it's the most exciting car games series I've ever seen

i have played age of mythology.but what it does is if we create few gods then we can easily defeat the nation.but in case of age of empire 2 the army play an important role.and the graphics is awesome too.

I've always wanted to play DRIVER series games, since car racing is one of my most fav genres..but still haven't had the luck to play them due to one or more reasons...

since you play on playstation, are you shifting gears up to ps3 then?

I think one pretty interesting strategy game to try out is the Total War series. I guess its pretty realistic in terms of controlling an army!

By the way, for those interested in a free space combat simulation game (with battles between large capital ships), check this out: Freespace 2

It was a commercial game released in 1999, but the company later provided the source code. That means its free now There are some gaming communities who continued work on it by updating the graphics and sound. You can download it here: Hard Light Productions | News & Announcements
