Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy sold like 800,000 copies, which is gigantic for an adventure game. Sure, it had issues, but it was unique and it sold fantastically. That just doesn't spell failure for me. And for me, the first half of the game was such a breath of fresh air that I am willing to overlook the lame ending.

Does anyone know how well NWN2 sold? I know it was an established IP, but I imagine AP can reach similar numbers. I've also seen a fair amount of advertising, and some word of mouth. It's pretty popular in Game Informer magazine.

Yep, that was awesome. I love games that reward you for not being a mass murderer.

How many is that now? Are you ready to join me over on the the PS3? NHL10 is coming out soon

Well, there is probably a leader between the two. The trick is finding out who it is, because he is most likely never going to be anything but trouble. The follower can be rehabilitated.

Are we really just talking about low magic settings?

Well, I can't compare Bioshock to SS2. But I can say that Fallout 3 captured the Fallout universe extremely well for me.

Actually, that sounds like Robert Jordan's books.

When I sleep on my stomach, sometimes I get freaked out like I can't breath. I start kicking my legs and my wife usually wakes me up enough to roll over.

Mount & Blade is low fantasy, no magic whatsoever.

I don't know, it is the worst job in hockey, but it is still hockey. It's like that saying about bad sex.

I've never understood the story complaint with MMO's. Turbine has always really engaged me with the story of their worlds. Asheron's Call had all sorts of great lore, you just had to go a bit out of the way to find it. Asheron's Call 2 really only had one cool thing, and that was cinematic chapters that you got to see after finishing the major dungeons. And Lord of the Rings Online has done nothing but enhance my enjoyment of Tolkien's work. It just take longer to unfold the story than RPG's and adventure games, because they are designed to be played over years, not weeks.

Raiding guilds are way too serious for me. Comparing it to a sport is very accurate.

I think I heard something about Tunnel Rats being pretty average, which is a gigantic step forward for Uwe Boll.

Really? Huh, I'm not sure if the ones around me have them, I haven't seen any. I've seen the compilation books that cover an entire series, but never single issue comics.

Sometimes it burns when I pee.

My Baldur's gate game is coming the a conclusion. I'm only at level 5 though, as is my party of Imoen, Xan, Branwen, Viconia, and some elf ranger. Im guessing I'll gain another level during the final stuff (if I return to BG I get arrested) but I'm not sure if that is good enough for making the jump to BG2. Ah well, I'm bored walking around the countryside. I also bought Madden 10. It's not all that exciting, to be honest, the be a pro mode is lacking compared to other sports games. I'll probably get into the franchise mode when football starts for real though.

Link didn't work, but I really doubt there is any project surrounding those images. They just seem like cool sketches, I doubt they'd get money to do a post apoc. Disney game.

I'd say Spore has quite a bit of staying power with the younger generations. I grew up playing Sim City, I can see my daughter playing Spore for years to come.

Any chance it will come to Sony Home or get released on the PC? Maybe via Steam?

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to report you for advertising.

Dwarves were very cool in the book.

I was thinking Batman as well, but I think it needs more time. Classics tend to be games that I desire to replay a few years down the road. It's hard to judge just what that may be right now. Saints Row 2 - I keep coming back to it. It bested GTA4 in my eyes. I'd put it right next to Vice city in the classic list. Portal - Very creative, has cake. MLB 09 The Show - possibly the best sports game ever, because it really puts you in the shoes of a professional athlete. Mount & Blade - I'm not sure when this was originally released, but it's impressive, and I think the sequel might have a shot at being a huge success. I get the impression that a lot of folks here are looking for someone to emulate the classics of yesteryear. While I would love to see a new Xcom, I think you will find more happiness if you expand your horizons and try different experiences. For example, the Wii has a couple games that will go down as classics because they are revolutionizing the way we play.
