I though i'd look for a game to give this new X-Fi a work out - whaddya recommend?

Put your new X-Fi to work in a game? I would say BF2/2142 since they fully support X-Fi and their EAX.

But other than that HL2 has some pretty good techno in there

sound track, or game action audio?

i have heard with a X-FI and a good pair of headphones you can almost play BF2 by sense of hearing

 

[TUDJ]

Bf2

 

[Fatal05]

Fear.

 

[foslock]

As they've both been said, BF2, BF2142, and HL2 all have good music and sound effects. A 5.1 system will blow you away.

With a good loud 5.1 surround system, you can't beat FEARS combat sounds ... the <plink> <plink> of the shell casings hitting the ground as you move about is awesome ...

Really good use of 5.1 in that game ...

The latter, please.

Anyway, off to play some BF2!

Thanks guys!

Um I see it says "X-Fi Xtrememusic + Onboard" in your sig. I hope you disabled the onboard through the BIOS before installing the X-Fi.

Anyway I find that any of Valve's Source engine games have awesome sound, especially on a nice 5.1 speaker setup. You'll want to try that as well.

 

[TriplePlay]

I say Half-Life 2. It has good action sounds (although BF2's are great too, as mentioned by others) as well as some good music during intense scenes.

 

[zacbrain]

ut 04 or flatout2

 

[ChielScape]

FEAR seconded.

F.E.A.R.

 

[TwIsTeDbOi]

BF2, F.E.A.R. and Half-Life 2 as everyone has said. BF2 with it's explosions and fighting in a very packed map is just jaw-dropping,

F.E.A.R.

 

[TwIsTeDbOi]

Yes but when you have tanks, FAV's, Jets, Heli's, and light-arms firing all around you it's nuts.

 

[d3daiM]

I'd go with FEAR.

 

[Jakg]

Is there a free version of F.E.A.R perchance?
