It has Vampires. It's not quite the Ann Rice version of Vampires though. There's a whole theme of Light versus Dark. Light has a police force that keeps an eye on the Dark called Night Watch, and the Dark has the same thing for their side called the Day Watch. It honestly seems a bit cheesy, but the demo sparked my interest.

Yeah, it's the same game world, and this guy did two unbelievable chapters before he disappearded. Basically he develops characters very well and makes you face some tough decisions. It's an awesome example of a well made mod. http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=3868

I just downloaded and played this demo through. First off, it's based on the Silent Storm engine, but unlike Hammer and Sickle, they've completely redone the interface to fit an RPG. It's...interesting. I've never heard of this Night Watch universe, although I guess it's some sort of comic world. It seems kinda hokey that I use flashlights and lightbulbs to fight, but there are a couple very cool things in the game. I actually really enjoyed what they did to the engine. It's much more efficient as an RPG style game now, but the turn based combat and graphics are still awesome. It's worth a try. http://www.fileplanet.com/159874/150000/fi...ight-Watch-Demo

Wow, Gabrielle really has no clue what she's talking about. The free user made mods for NWN are huge. A few are better than SoU and HoU, like the Dreamctacher and Lone Wolf series, while some are filled with great comedy, like the Penultima series. Not to mention, there are free mmo style worlds to download and free mods designed for small groups. I'm sure the ones they sell are nice, but seriously, you are so uninformed in this thread, it's quite embarrasing.

I don't think we need to do spoilers here. I avoid the topic until I've watched the show, as all people should do. Just seems like common sense. My opinion of the cloud is that it shows you your greatest fears. Eko wasn't freaked out because he had come to term with his. Locke had no trouble the first time he saw the cloud, but I bet he saw the dead brother in the cloud on the second time, and it freaked him out. Just a guess. The next episode looks serious. I feel bad for Charlie.

I'm pretty sure there are more WoW fans here than there are FPS fans. So what's your point?

75 planes? There's some realism for you. There are very few mindless shooter fans here, so you might want to check a different forum.

What the hell? Apple just figured out how to make a computer that is actually good. This is scary. They've made horrible decisions for decades... Seriously, with Intel processors, these computers might actually be effective gaming machines. Combine that with the sick monitors they have, and I suddenly have trouble hating mac's. I'm seriously eyeing the laptops...if I had $2,500 to kill. It also looks like Safari is way better than every other browser. I'm scared...Apple seems to be taking over the entire world of entertainment.

I used to get interference from my cell phone as well. If I had it behind my little subwoofer, it caused all sorts of static. Also, speaker placement was an issue. It doesn't sound like that's your problem, but it's an easy check.

Thornton got tossed 5 minutes into his return to Boston...I only heard it on the radio so I have no clue if it's a bad hit. Still, Sharks are thumping them anyways.

Some creepy stuff going on here...

Well, the US is bound to have plenty of bizarre laws...it's a huge country made up of a ton of states, and in each state you have counties, and in each county you have cities and towns. On each level you have people who are responsible for legislation. Not all of these people are geniuses. The amazing thing is it's one of the best systems out there. Take any country with a comparable amount of land and population, and they don't stack up.

I won every battle, and somehow I ended up starting World War III... Looks like I need to start a new game ;-)

Ugh...that better not be the case. Why would you discard the pause option? If you want real-time, just don't hit pause. It doesn't matter though, I'm doubting the credibility of this story completely.

Seriously Volourn...you've taken a positive thread and ruined it with your condescending remarks. On a side note, Luskan looks awesome!

LadyCrimson, if you're having back pains, I'd highly recommend going to a massage therapist. Not a relaxation massage, but a sports massage. A good therapist can really help relieve that pain. I go once a month, and it keeps me from slowing down on the hockey rink.

Nah, they just posted lower than expected earnings...they still made a huge amount of dough off GTA. This is interesting...hopefully it will be a positive relationship. I don't know much about Take-Two.

Sweet, better make sure my Tivo is set

The In Living Color comment was awesome, I immediately pictured the skit.

I don't even think GLAAD is attacking Shalit or calling for his job. Clearly he's not some uptight guy looking to bash gays. But the choice of his words seemed careless, and GLAAD is making that known. I bet Shalit will eventually clarify his review, although he has no obligation to do so.

Odd, Space Rangers... Are the planet battles real time? Is it like an RTS? I'm totally confused, even after reading two reviews.

Because I've read quite a few reviews (thanks to this thread) and Lucius stated as much after reading the book.

It definitely is more of the same...it doesn't really break new ground. I actually never got S3, so that might explain its great appeal to me. I actually just really like the tough spots it puts me in. Right now I'm on a mission where a ton of allied tropps are attacking my 6 men in an adandoned farmhouse. The place is literally crumbling as we fight it out.

so.. basically you are waffling? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How am I waffling? I don't enjoy the genre that the movie is in. If I did see it, my review would be something like "It's a lame romance." I would not call someone a sexual predator because he's pursuing a love interest. That's the complaint that GLAAD has with Shalit. It also seems pretty evident that Heath Ledger is a willing participant in the romance, he just doesn't want to go public with it. That's a bit different than being stalked by a sexual predator.

I've played a big chunk of the game through with a surgeon. I was hoping his high intelligence would allow me to talk my way out of some jams, but that has not been the case. So far, I've had a lot of combat, but I know I'm not doing things as well as I could. It's really important to maintain disguises and keep the peace. I have a squad of allied troops literally hunting me down because I was a bit too violent. Someone posted a big plot diagram, which is amazing given the complexity of the game, and I'm on the losers path *wink* -Sneak, and use the cover of night -Wear proper uniforms and get papers in order. I had serious trouble with this. I wish you could leave squad members at home, because I never had enough uniforms. Maybe you can find a fix for this. -Sanders is extremely deadly with a knife. I've had her take out two soldiers at once on a sneak through. -Watch your weight. Don't hold on to everything, there will be more weapons. Alternately, just strip weapons of their ammo, if it matches your preferred weapon. -Pistols can be concealed, all other guns and grenades freak the police out.
