Diogo Ribeiro Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Just finished Silent Storm, both the Allies and Axis campaigns. Probably will replay it some other time again. The engine is great; wish I had the time to mess around with the editor to make a mod for it.

Palmtree Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I'm playing Oblivion at the moment. It's running on an old graphics card at the moment, so all the graphics are messed up, but I should be getting a new graphics card next week!

Diogo Ribeiro Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I really want that game <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The game is somewhat of a mixed bag for me but for some reason I really liked it, mainly because of the turnbased combat, the very good physics engine and destructable environments, and the general feel of it being a WW2-based dungeon crawler. There's a couple of issues I had with it, but I can't help enjoying it. Right now I'm thinking of buying the Sentinels expansion, but I can only find Silent Storm Gold which has both the original (which I already have) and the expansion. I suspect I'm going to purchase it anyway, but I'll be trying to sell off my copy of SS too.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I agree. The Panzerkleins were a great twist to the WW2 formula presented in Silent Storm, and in a way reminded me of Gear Krieg's take on a similar alternate timeline and universe. Only problem is you get them so late in the game that the novelty barely has time to set in, and combat outside them is actually recommended for later portions of the game.
Llyranor Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Perhaps you should play Hammer & Sickle next. Since you're a commie and all. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Diogo Ribeiro Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Maybe I'll turn you into a commie as well. I am looking into buying the Hammer and Sickle since I've heard good things about it, stuff that most reviews out there didn't seem to notice.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Why don't you ask the Hive Mind? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually Naked Lunch from Tacticular Cancer pretty much mentioned all the highlights and positives of the game in his review, though the Codex and its offspring is hardly my only reference for videogames.

And yes, there's a subtle amount of scariness involved, especially with Thief 1. If you have any problems, especially Windows and media format related ones, PM me and I'll hook you up with fan guides to solve them. The official patches are too old to answer them.
