Umm, wow, what happened to the 20000+ 3Dmark scores? That doesn't seem all that impressive, I get between 14000 and 15000

[neoquote=#10.3 by 99 to Life]that's right....if it's not in English it's not credible. Germany don't allow people to play Quake or Doom or Wolfenstein! You think I'm gonna trust a review from a country that doesn't like id software?? No way pal.[/neoquote] Wake up and smell the coffee beans "Pal" !! the games you mentioned are not banned. If anything they very understandably removed the reference of Nazism from the games and anything that would discredit the German nation. France also dis-allows Nazism (in any form) more strongly in fact than Germany itself.
