Morgoth

The "dialog" system sounds pretty cool for that kind of game. ME wants to be a Hollywood blockbuster, so reading and waiting is not an option. That's fine for ME, but for DA I'm expecting the good ol' multiple choice procedure with some neat surprises here and there...

EA is succesful but that doesn't make me respect them. Companies can make crappy games but still be successful you know?

There's nothing wrong with adoring Bioshock! As for Supreme Commander: I don't understand the hype. Playing with robots and tanks and ships and all the impersonal stuff is just boring. Give me some creepy Zerg, drug-addicting Space Marines or Plush-Orcs anytime baby!

I remember that from Psychonauts too. A throughout "Excellent" game with tons of cool humor, but the jumping stuff made me sometimes very jumpy too.

Well that's fine by me, I usually don't play single in a party-based RPG.

Eh, where did you read that? I always thought DA is gonna have party members in BG style, not self-made IWD style... if this is what you mean by forced. Anyway, pretty cool stuff in that article, but nothing really new. As usual, Bioware keep me amazed all the time, and after some Jade Empire action (finally!!!) it shouldn't take another few years to enjoy the next Bio PC RPG.

Atari must be really desperate now to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release the same old package (ok, NWN now included) for the thousands time.

Read here about the evolution of the Big Daddy, and how IG turned a menacing looking Diver into a cute fat Snuggle-monster!

Stalker seems to be a winner, so I'll probably pick it up sometime in April. Jade Empire and Bioshock are Must-Haves, and will be consumed with utmost ardor.

SWAT4 (again) and next week, I'm gonna snatch Imperial Glory. Not that I'm expecting anything too good from it, though.

Everyone should have BG. It's the best thing to happen to Bioware/Interplay/BIS. Its the best thing to happen to CRPGs. One of the best damned games ever! Coincidentally, I just got it installed yesterday since I found it while cleaning my basement, and even more coincidentally, the nostalgia fever catched me.... Luckily enough, my good taste and sense for quality cured the fever quickly, so I uninstalled after some minutes. This game is sooooooo old and sooooooooooooo friggin' boring that I really can't understand people still recommending it to fresh meat.

Deus Ex meets Far Cry in splendid down-the-toilet world? I'm sold, man!

Indeed, those are absolutely gorgeous! I always wondered why Devs wouldn't go for a game with a similar ingame-art style, maybe through a complex Shading-Network a'la Toon/Sumo-style in Okami.

That would be 1866 I think. Does the EU3 timeline get that far? I read somewhere it only goes ~1800 or so. Anyway, after the Austo-Prussian War in 1866, Italy united as a nation, as Prussia united Germany.

I just see from Tigranes screenshots that the description of the various states remain in their own native language. Very charming. Also very funny how much bigger K

Currently I'm playing Freelancer. Very atmosphereic game with tons of potential. Alas, there won't be a FL2 since Digital Anvil was shut down. I wouldn't have mind a more RPG style approach for the characters, like convincing people through dialog options and build your own clan that supports you through your story missions. Nonetheless, it's the best Space FPS I've played since X-Wing Alliance.

What Jorian actually means: Money Money MoNEY MONEY!!!!!11

Need a fix? Then take a look at these awesome screenshots!

Gah, so much confusion. Project Georgia and Project Connecticut (=Aliens) will be published by SEGA. PNJ is still MYSTARY!

Well, I don't consider 3DR games extraordinarily "creative". They just used tons of cliches and fit them together very well. In addition, 3DR has all the time they want to make DNF the way they want to, so it's bound to be a huge success, whether it's in some way creative or not.

The best RTS AI is still the one that always lets me win!

It looks so plastic, so macho, so American. Yep, that's the confrmation. Duke is about to come and "get some".

Why? I think they'd make a nice couple, Herve & The Fall.

Very interesting interview. Am just wondering why that guy can come up with so bold concepts and gets support from the publisher, while something like Van Buren or Jefferson got raped and destroyed....

Urks!
