Killian ate a little bit of all of us in order to become the self-devouring mass of antimatter he is today.

Are you working on Nightshade's secret PS3 game too?

Yeah, dude, Snake is dead.

What are you talking about? It's compelling gameplay.

Use your nukes.

I'll be reading! You're aware of the upcoming expansion, are you not? http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=528 Also, Matrix is having their annual sale again http://matrixgames.com/news/545/Matrix.Gam...08.Holiday.Sale!

Never played ZoE2, but I'd be interested in a sequel on PS3. I mean, giant robots!

If people think they can enforce their notions of what proper spelling is thru to others, their wrong. If only people was more tolerant of others Can't have proper dialog with such intolerance.

Shut up, Nick. Don't diss character deepness.

Man, I can't wait until Bethesda does BG3 next!

Considering that the attached screen is from one of my more anticipated titles of 2009 (4th in a series, so it's selling enough), there's certainly a place for niche games. The entire wargame genre focuses on the low-cost, low-sell, no-compromise-to-gameplay approach. Though, more of those games are being made by pretty small teams, most of whom work part-time or full-time in another 'real job' to make ends meet. There's certainly *some* place for small teams who wanted to make turn-based tactical RPGs with a focus on gameplay and less on bells and whistles. I guess that's where things like Vogel and Age of Decadence shove their ugly heads in.

I was stuck for a little bit on one of the platforming puzzles, but overall it was no big deal. Not the game's strength, though. They should have focused it more on the chases.

Yeah. Yeah, you're nerdier now.

Yeah, who needs caring when all you really need is Fallout 3

Well, you got your nerdier wish.

Waa waa Mirror's Edge is too hard. There's a reason why games have gone the way of Bioshock and Too Human or Fable 2. Why bother playing when you can die in them? Not that I'm faulting Prince of Persia. The Elika saving crap is just a concealed checkpoint system. Though one wonders how easy a game could possibly be when even reviewers - who usually suck as gamers - complain about its ease.

Don't lie, Hades. Her BOYFRIEND - with whom she is having a meaningful relationship - bought it, and she's just tagging along for the ride. A horrible, bug-ridden 3D non-isometric ride. But do NOT imply she paid for it. She wouldn't pay for that crap.

The game's still supposedly easy, but the 'no dying' checkpoint shouldn't be the reason behind it. If anything, it saves you 5-10 seconds at the game over screen.

Hey, suddenly I really hope BG3 materializes itself soon.

Haha, you giant nerd.

Well, you kind of need people to share holidays with in order to appreciate them.

The demo thing was because it was a preorder bonus. Which is pretty stupid. As long as the concept of time trials appeals to you and you liked the demo, game should be worth your while. People will complain that one playthrough is 6-8 hrs, but mastering the gameplay will really lie on the time trials and speed runs, where you'll be looking for shortcuts and maneuvers to cut down on your time by a few secs here and there. That doesn't appeal to everyone, though. I'm sure Yahtzee raves all over Tombraider.

There are 30 of us playing L4D regularly.

You can do time trial offline. Each track has you race against set times to get 1-3 stars.

I say skip L4D and just get the superior WaW.
