Conan!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0575077...glance&n=266239 Funnily enough, I found that from a library. In Finland. It would be criminal to call it decent but that's what I'm gonna do, since the save-the-girl-decapitate-the-mage-and-his-demon-crony-shtick gets really really boring after the fifth story or so. But the ones where Howard ahs really tried something new, like Beyond the Black River, Red Nails and Phoenix in the Sword truly shine. It balances the bad ones out. There's that pure adventure spirit and almost primal understanding of what a pulp short story should be about. Bestest Conan ever. I can safely say that Red Nails (along with maybe Tower of the Elephant) are some of the best short stories I've yet to read.

Infinity Engine Games
On the contrary, it along with Dark Aliance 1 and 2 should've made the list. I demand their addition, since the list has to be complete.

About the whole 'Sith eyes' thing
I think it's an artsy aesthetic thing and you guys are reading way too much into it.

I'm pretty sure that Fallout Tactics belongs to that list. And BG:Dark Alliance.

~4 minute Mass Effect trailer on 360 marketplace
Yeah, the part where the player scrolled the battleground to place the white icon looked a lot like pause state. I still think either a system akin to Freedom Fighters(or Battlezone ) or a more elaborate battlemap+orders-system would be better. We haven't seen enough to judge the game though.

And Bastarnae(thracian sword guys with two hitpoints) and Sarmatian horsemen? My memory is pretty hazy.

Prey Review
I haven't played it either. I just heard it was bad. Real bad.

Rome : Total War
Did normal RTW have Cretan archers as mercs? I remember them being the ultimate archers. Not much could stand after four hails of firearrows. That had more to do with the lousy morale of units though.

Nice, smooth. I hope so. 360 has enough balls to run that kind of grafikz, so here's hoping.- Half Life 2: Episode 2 News

Finally saw it. I was pleasently suprised, although the battle mechanics and interface seemed everything but interesting. I wish there was a battlemap-system where you could position your forces, like Heavy Gear. Granted, it seems a bit overkill with only a three man team, but this "floating an icon to place"-thing looks redundant and less than fluid. Some high points of the trailer were: - The sleek scifi look, it seems that while Bio doesn't exactly go very original when art direction is considered, they do a worthy job nevertheless. I would have liked a Nostromo-themed look more though. - Graphics in general, they were top-notch. Faces and looks could have been better, but graphics are without mention the main seller for this Biospawn. - Music, smooth, cold, anal. Fits the game well. The sound effect that plays when they display the game's logo at the end gave me goosebumbs. No matter Bio's previous stumbling with music(Jade Empire excluded, pure Jack Wall awesomeness), this time they seem to deliver. - Seems like very freeform, although the planets could be one-location-ten-rooms-random-loot-gigs. We'll see soon. I'm hopeful though. Obvious lows: - I don't know about you guys, but killer robots are NOT an interesting antagonist. Give the primal evil elder race ting any day. I hope they name them Ancients or Dominators roflcopter!!!12 - Dialogue looks irky in quality. While Shephard sounded almost reassuring, the bartender and the chick at the casino(what the heck was up the with the background screaming?) were just funny. I reserve my judgement for later though. Who knows, maybe Bio can deliver. - The Premise! Save the freaking galaxy! Only you can do it! No matter if we have the freaking Space Orbital bloody Jumper Corps with stardestroyers, it's up to you to go planetside and fight away with your ginormous 3-member team of dweebs! You're our only hope, healing potions 1000 gil! Meh, I'm reserved, yet mildly interested. W00t, no more moderated status!- Half Life 2: Episode 2 News
You wish.- What are you playing ...
EB, Epeiros. I've taken all of Greece except Thermon, Sparta, Chalkis and Athenai, thanks to Epirus' awesome levy phalangites. A huge contigent of armor-piercing slingers and Pyrrhos' royal guard units helped too. I'm just semi-irritated that the ever-present reinforcement bug decided to introduce itself when I was taking Sparta. After a 100% to 11% victory with fullstack armies, a ctd isn't exactly the most welcome of rewards.- TOMBS vol. 6
