Dune 1 & 2 are abandonware.

* Dune 1 is one my favourite games of all time. As stated before, the game uses a unique mix of adventure & strategy... and also has an amazing soundtrack & voice over. It's loosely based on Lynch's movie (which is why in-game Paul Atreides looks like Kyle McLachlan). * Frank Herbert's Dune was the last Cryo game before they went bankrupt, and it shows. It's a bit of a broken game with bad controls & questionable design decisions - the game forces you into melee killing since ammo is ridiculously scarce, but melee killing can only be done from stealth; once the enemy has noticed you it's impossible to even attack the enemy in melee... forcing teh player to rely on the Bene Gesserit Voice power to stun the enemy & then go over to the kill. This makes the game excruciatingly frustrating at times, especially since death means one must play the level again from the beginning. Still, I like this game a lot too (I'm a bit of a Cryo Interactive fanboy), since it's very faithful to the spirit from the book. It even uses hunter-killers & Tleilaxu facedancers in the game. It might be next to impossible to still find this game today, though. * Dune 2000 & Emperor: Battle for Dune are worth playing for the brilliant cutscenes & Harkonnen campaigns alone.

The original BG&E version works on Vista, but there are some problems with artifacting. It's possible to solve this, though, with manually setting some graphics options.

Yeh, I vaguely recall something about combining a fish & a rope and attaching it to a tree or something. Still, one it comes it MacGyver like puzzles, nothing beats Secret Files: Tunguska & NiBiRu. In the latter, there was even a case of combining a pack of dynamite with a rat in order to open a door.

I kinda liked BS3, but the box puzzles dragged it down a lot, although the other environmental puzzles were done well... and the interplay with Nico reminded me of the team path of Fate of Atlantis. But the final part of the game was too surreal even for a BS game. I never got around playing BS4.

People that loved GK should give Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars & the sequel Smoking Mirror try. Also, Rolf Saxon is one of my favourite adventure game voice actors, along with Sarah Hamilton.

I have the game, but can't get the DLCs to work yet so haven't had the opportunity to play.

Next BioWare DLC: Return to Lothering?

And to add insult to injury, I hear it's impossible to remove the helmets.

Bullet-time + Concussion shot + ability to use all weapons. Sounds okayish to me. I'll leave that biotic & tech crap to them emo companions.

Isn't that bullet-time power worth it, though?

If you let Four-Eyes go, there better be a newsflash how he & his crew succesfully nuked another human colony. My Renegade Shepard will probably be missing out on a lot of returning characters in ME2, since she pretty much caused the death of any named NPC in ME1.

You didn't talk to them enough? That seemed to be all that was required in ME1.

ME2 > DA Period.

Why no Hanar Sex? Not everyone would want to use Shepard's aquarium for feeding fish, you know.

I'm normally getting the CE on Friday. I'm not looking forward to getting the DLCs to work... it took ages to get Shale with Dragon Age.

Right... At least Terminator Shepard can still take showers without getting electrocuted.

Where's the Garrus love scene? Oh, wait...

I always liked how Geralt can kill the old hag afterwards.

^It's a great game, but the last chapter of the game is pretty tedious... although the ending fight makes up for that a lot. Also, there are jetski races in the game that you have to win in order to continue... it took me ages to win the last race.

And here I was thinking body animations couldn't get more awkward than in Dragon Age.

Do in-game enemies still shout "The enemy is everywhere!!!" & "Go! Go! Go!" the entire time? That became old after the first fight at Chora's Den.

Lol, Belgium is behind Botswana.
