Is that the one with John Rhys-Davies as the Atreides Mentat? That's Dune 2000, I believe. I think this one has FMV cutsecenes as well, though.

TVtropes FTW! Another game I remembered is Emperor: The Battle For Dune. It's a 3d Command & Conquer-esque game in the Dune universe. The three different sides are all pretty unique and you even have sandworms! Also, I think the community is still somewhat alive.

A Cthulhu game would be awesome, but why Victorian? 1920s are way cooler.

Check with your doctor, it's probably schizophrenia. I want a tactical RPG with awesome turn-based combat and a great story. Something like the Aliens RPG was supposed to be...

Yes, yes he is.

No dreadlords and you have to be level 55 to become a death knight.

Congratulations? EP2 is a bit longer.

56k dial-up is ~7KB/S, according to my calculations it will take about 40h to download a GB of data, assuming maximum speed.

It's their loss, I guess. WoW pimps, take the floor.

I somehow doubt that they'll take the game back after you have registered it's serial number. Do they actually take PC games back anyway?

Even buying the disc, you'll still need a few gigs of updates, so good luck!

None of those are really pure shooters. Let's see shooter with RPG elements, FPS with spy stuff, don't know, tactical squad-based shooter, same, shooter with RPG elements. Second row: RPG with shooter elements x2. Pure shooters are for example Doom 3, Call of Duty, Serious Sam, Farcry, FEAR, Quake. Maybe you just don't like plain shooters where you just shoot stuff? Even Half-Life keels a bit to the puzzle side. Half-Life's biggest plus is that it never does the same thing until it gets boring. The experience is very directed and varied, you never just run through corridor after corridor mowing down enemies, there's always some kind of twist to it. The shooting part isn't even that good compared to newer shooters. I'd recommend it, HL1 does the scare thing way more than 2. As I said, HL2 keeps mixing it up, one moment you're escaping from Combine soldiers, the next your in sewer tunnels with some zombies then a helicopter is chasing you. It's a fun experience, even if you don't like FPSs all that much.

I guess they didn't want to add more depth to the current characters or just wanted to show off more wacky rubber forehead aliens with their own sad childhoods. Also, stop misquoting me Meshugger and Pidesco.

There were a bunch of people on gaming podcasts having trouble with it as well. I think TW pretty much peaked at Rome anyway. The increased complexity just doesn't do anything for me and firearms are boring. @Morgoth: Apparently it uses up to two cores, unless they changed it in a patch. Creative Assembly really needs to take a nice long break and make some decent AI. The more complex it gets, the higher the chance that the enemy will just stand there like a bunch of idiots.

It costs money. Chances are that he won't be having too much fun on dial up anyway. I'd take a 400h download over wasting money on something that I probably wouldn't be able to play anyway.

Try the trial, if you're really interested. You don't really have anything to lose, it's free.

The Wii Motion+ exists already.

It's been proven time and time again that just slapping the SW name on something won't make it any better. What's wrong with CoD? It had a nice short single player campaign and an awesome multiplayer. Halo does the whole console-shooter thing well, the problem is the crowd that it attracts. Guess who else had the whole irrational hatred problem? Hint: there's a picture of him in your post.

Good that we're clear on that. Carry on!

So basically you're just saying that you are biased.

Basement elevator zombie ambush If you think the Mass Effect elevators are slow... I really liked the glowy energy core thing in the Citadel and the multi-phase rescue mission in the end was well done.

Episode 2 is pretty much the epitome of awesomeness. Much better than EP1, even though 1 had it's moments too.

I agree that Bioware is pretty much making your choices meaningless and forcing their own new story down your throat. How many people expect to continue on with the same party they ended the game with? I certainly would, considering what Bioware has been saying. There's nothing wrong with adding new characters and maybe even killing off a couple of the old ones, but this is pretty much a new game.
