Deus Ex feels very much like the original, it's my favourite of the three. If you were wondering about the DLC, I think the Missing Link is well worth the money, it's reasonably long, has some great level design and the story is short but fun, and the NPCs are well written. I'd avoid all the gun packs and the Explosive Mission DLC though.

Torment will be getting it's final 4.5 mil stretchgoal. That means a stronghold, expanded length, depth and reactivity and some of InXile's "crazier ideas concerning choice and consequence". Props to Brian Fargo and superfan Steven Dengler.

More the pity that Aliens: Colonial Marines was such a disaster. Had it been done well we could have had another Aliens movie with Hicks as the lead .

EA Partners Rumoured To Be Breaking Up

FYI nobody would ever choose to be kicked in the balls over being bitten on the arm.

I got a lvl 2 sorcerer with 9 charisma.

Sorry, doublepost

Even though the kickstarter has ended, the paypal pledges are still running until the 30th of this month. At the moment there is just under $100,000 to go before hitting the final stretch goal.

They have been working on it but I seem to remember rumours about it not going smoothly and then there was that whole outcry from EVE fans about CCP not giving them enough attention, so they either took staff off of WOD or halted it completely for a while. Some of the systems they were talking about sounded novel though; A single player in each city can be elected prince and one of the perks of the job includes issuing "blood hunts" on other players which opens them up to perma-death, but if you don't manage to keep enough players happy then they can revolt and you will be overthrown. It sounds a bit like roleplaying President Aladeen from The Dictator. http://www.penny-arcade.com/report/article/world-of-darkness-mmo-detailed-permadeath-player-controlled-cities-and-huma

It uses nice tech if nothing else.

However unlikely it is, I really hope that is Columbo in the last screenshot.

The game looks a bit similar (aesthetically) to Silent Hill Homecoming, which I consider to be a good thing. I hope the live-action and teaser trailers were just bad marketing.

Or he may fall in love with it and have one of those weird marriages everyone raises an eyebrow at.

If you liked the new X-Com and were curious about the older X-Coms then you may like this game that's not called X-Com but is more like the old X-Com than the new X-Com when it's released later this year.

What kills replay value of DAO for me is, ironically, the origins and then Ostagar. Not that either are necessarily bad, but that they're LOOOOOONG. If I can get past those two sections and make my way to Lothering, I can generally get back into replaying the game. the mage tower is insufferable for me now There's a mod that lets you skip the fade section while still getting the stat boosts. I'm not sure if it will effect any choice carryover into the sequels though.

How is your Finnish?

That's a good point, how do you manage in real life?

Fallout Tactics is worth getting too and while I haven't played them, I've heard good things about Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business and Lionheart.
