Tale

EA or Lucasarts are signed up for 25+ titles to be released over the next three months. Which specifically to be revealed at E3. Lucasarts would possibly be most likely. It's been hinted that System Shock isn't included, which would seem to rule out EA. However, an EA employee was found winking on his twitter account. I like the Lucasarts idea because they've become increasingly fond of reviving old franchises lately after Sam and Max's episodic success. Monkey Island just seems more likely than Ultima.

That occurs when any art form has something approaching a popularity surge. It's no coincidence that that happened at the time of the space race.

Would a recitation of Sturgeon's Revelation be of any point at this juncture? For the brits about

I would be surprised to find a unique start. How would that interact with a co-op game?

There already was an AvP RTS. Which most people forget because it was a console game.

I bet Bill Amend could make a bitching Alien game. Think his Myst + Velociraptor concept.

Wait a second George Ziets is the Creative Lead? Will I get to eat a god?

Yeah, I'd like to see a turn-based MMO with immediate reactions and no facing rules.

War should be about face to face manfighting. Swords and axes only. If you can't look at a man in the eyes as his blood splurts on your kilt and his face goes pale, then you should go back to knitting!

Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff you, GoG. I just purchased the Broken Sword trilogy (even though I already own those games spread around different platforms), The Journeyman Project 2, Tex Avery 1+2, Tex Avery Under a Killing Moon, Realms of the Haunting, and The Last Express. Edit: Wait a second, didn't I have Runaway 2 I needed to complete.

You know I'm not allowed to like you right. But I can like what you said.

He called an Aliens game a turd! But it could be a turd. You shut up, I don't want to hear that! Can't deny the possibility. Watch me!

There's basically two instances where unreliable narrator were envoked and both were backed away from immediately. Nobody would be happy having choices and character overwritten by such a thing, anyway. "What you choose to do doesn't matter, the narrator's just lying!" "You son of a... LYNCH HIM"

That's actually a woman from WW2. She had the most kills of any sniper in Stalingrad. Why is a WW2 sniper working with Russian mercs to kill Delta Force last April? Isn't she too old?

That's also the reason Dark Alliance is a Baldur's Gate game.

Somewhat. But it is far more geek to have in-depth internet arguments about which elements of a fantasy book were borrowed by a particular fantasy vidyagame. There is no quantity of geek. There only is geek and not geek. Embrace it.

I'm sold.

I had not considered that.

You're a time traveler?

Are tickets available for this show?

Why are Russian mercs still using black and white photography in this day and age?

Only complaint I have is graphics. They're acceptable for the genre, but not good. I think even Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 managed to look better. Which is really the only relevant comparison I can make for the genre. That and Torchlight. Enjoyed the gameplay. Plotlines looked intriguing enough. Probably get it for PC.

*dusts off 360 controller* Oh damnit, the battery on the controller is dead again. This always happens.

Whoah whoah. Cryptic was sold to Perfect World, the chinese MMO company that also owns the developer of Torchlight. I guess we won't be seeing Neverwinter.

That would be terrible. Design by a grand democratic committee not work. It'd produce an mess of incompatible ideas. Like having infants attempt engineering. It would collapse on itself. The average audience member has no idea what it takes to make a game. Or how to make a feature actually work. They just get excited about features that sound cool.
