Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway - Is this game any good? Saw on NV website it supports PhysX? Thinking of adding my 9400GT to my 2600XT

Yeah its a great game.

It just uses the engine and doesn't have GPU accelerated PhysX. But on the gameplay, I didn't think it was that great honestly..

I just finished playing the single player COD4 (will start to play the MP this weekend), so I need a new game to play but don't want to spend more than $20. Absolutely hate Zombies and Aliens. Which game should I try? Is there a COD3?

No CoD3 on PC.. Be glad for that, trust me.. I'd say pick up Medal of Honor: Airborne for 10$ on steam. I thought it was pretty fun, the graphics are nice too.

I didn't like it at all. Doesn't really have a single player tho.. It's sort of like Battlefield 2, mainly an online game. Except I'm pretty sure no one plays it anymore.

Metal of Honor: Airborne was one of the worst shooters I have played. I hope they have patched some stuff about the game since I gave up on it after fighting with it to work right for an hour (gameplay, AI, realism, all sorely lacking).

Hell's Highway is unique because the game's play style centers around cover fire. Not Fire from cover like Gears of Steroid Abuse, but actually suppressing an enemy position with cover fire. My only grip with it is I watch the History channel and it is so realistic, I knew exactly what was going to happen almost every step of the way. Hard to enjoy a game when I know the ending before the game was released.

What kind of shooter are you looking for, just plain fun, realistic, or movie style (like COD: MW)?
