I think unfortunately, Fallout Tactics with a standard hex or square-based movement grid would be more successful than a regular Fallout title.

Well, they are retro cutesy.

I was wondering why someone didn't attempt this sooner. Turnbased gaming goodness like X-Com and portable platforms just can't go wrong.

Strangely the only GBA emulator I ever used isn't listed at Zophar, yet most people I talked to recommended it.

That great beast of wonder.

Violate my inner ear and dance a rumba while calling me Shirley, but for some reason, I never got into Dr. Who.

I'll be reviewing two games. Fallout. It rocks. Planescape: Torment. Also rocks.

An axe. A big one at that. And with what looks like entrails being used as decoration, but you're too afraid to ask her.

What the deuce is a quote board? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just this little board where they put up or write down random quotes the developers make during a game's development stage.

I saw the trailer. I couldn't tell much - the quality was lacking - but the premise seems fun. ICO's review on Gamesport ICO's review on IGN

My mistake, my apologies. Well, by comparison, how many games benefited from hype that lasted for five years?

Like I said before, NWN had five years worth of hype. It was even hyped in Baldur's Gate 2. Remember the loading area sentence that read something like "the adventure doesn't have to end here, you can import you BG2 characcter into Neverwinter Nights". I suspect Lord Foreshadow in BG1 was also, as his name implies, foreshadowing NWN as well when you conversed with him... If he had that particular function, that's like

Pretty depressing times when we resort to battery-run porn rather than our own imagination. Well, not all is lost, I guess. I can still count on my left hand.

Not quite, considering Star Wars already is a household name as you say. Neverwinter Nights needed what Star Wars doesn't need any longer - added time and resources to promote its name. Damn good at allowing players to make their own fanmade content. Which was actually what made it damn good in the long run. If it weren't for fans input and their determination in consistantly creating new adventures to increase replaybility, what would you have? Just the barely passable game. And no replies consisting of "the game is the package", you know what I mean. And comparing the amount of hype Neverwinter Nights and those games got is a bit out of tune, considering NWN had five years of development, most (if not all) of them filled with its public interest excessively bolstered by publicity, showcasings, and the like. At times you'd get the feeling there was a new developer interview every day at sites like IGN. It was everywhere. As for the other games, ToEE got little publicity at all, and Baldur's Gate got moderate amounts. Not necessarily, considering hype is there mostly to affect initial sales, not sales in the long run.

It's not uncommon for japanese adolescents to whip out and read some hentai on buses and trains, so... Of course now, when you hear the screams of cartoon virgins begging tentacles to stop what they're doing, you get to know what kind of hentai they're playing.

Oy, that's who he was. Thanks. Egads, Willow.... Childhood memories.

I am the Uninstall Option.

I think it should be "just because he made some great movies doesn't mean he is, by default, a great director". A good director can have his flaws and even be a lousy director in some of his own movies. Unless all his movies have been directed flawlessly, which I don't think they were. Does it matter if one's preference puts him in a minority? Is it even worth mentioning this? It feels like people just say this expecting it to automatically prove the other side wrong, or to render their argument invalid.

Or the ultimate whiners.

Unfortunately, while that is true, if you replace 'PC' with 'Console' you'll get a valid description as well. I've seen enough fanboy rants and rabid assaults on both sides to last me a lifetime. Console fanboys seem to be more rabid, though PC gamers seem to carry that distinct 'holier than thou' halo.

RTSs And emulation,baby <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And modding. And electronic support, if required.

If only the PC version didn't had the problems that apparently exist in the console version.

Thanks for the recommendations
