Excuse me Sigmar didn't you read the post above? The fallout series were done by Black Isle. Now Police Quest Swat 3. There was a good game made by Sierra!

When Police Quest became Swat 3, it became bad, much like the King's Quest series should never have ended with an FPS, Half-Life is a genius game, it's like an FPS, but with more puzzles and brainpower required, also, it has SO many mods, many of which are cool, like CounterStrike, Blizzard is much better than Sierra, but Sierra is still good, they made Homeworld, and the King's Quest series, I think Sierra is better than Black Isle, but, of course, that is just my opinion, and by the way, the 15th September release date was one I got from the IW homepage, out on the right side of the screen, and a bit down.

You can't compare sierra to Black Isle. You can compare it to Interplay though. With the BG series Interplay is like the record label, Black Isle is like the producer, and Bioware is like the artist.

Sierra has screwed over it's customers so many times recently though. They scrubbed dynamix and all their game servers, rendering many of their earlier MP games useless, they released Tribes2 as a retail beta. They had patches and patches for patches and it still isn't working right. Just in general, they have kind of been messing everything up recently.

BTW, I downloaded the Arcanum demo and I wasn't able to get better than 640x480 resolution. I can't play a game @ that resolution. Is there a way to make it higher? I didn't see any option for that in the game.
