NOLF was pretty awesome except for the "you were detected: mission failed" parts. Not a lot of them but even one is annoying.

 

NOLF 2 eliminated that iirc.

Eets. It's something between Lemmings and The Incredible Machine. Great fun.

 

The incredible machine.. wow I had totally forgotten about that..

 

Did you ever notice that the game changes it's style if you play on a major holiday? Like snow and candy canes in Christmas and lots of fireworks at New Year?

Dark Castle 2 did that too hehe.

Fallout 2 - classic post-apocalyptic goodness bundled up in a barrel of fun.

heh i just finished a playthrough of that

 

unarmed + jinxed + HTH evade + dodger + adv. power armour = people critically missing themselves to death trying to hurt me

Resident Evil for GC.

Downloading Drakensang(english) demo.

I just got the G.E.C.K. - I think I'll play around with it tonight and see what kind of **** I can break make.

I think Left 4 Dead single-player is one of the perfect 'a few minute' games. I can play a half-hour of it and enjoy myself before moving on.

Okay. I'm installing Prince of Persia right now.

 

I love this series. I want to play this game. My system is underspec. I'm so worried, I might vomit.

Space Rangers 2 with the expansion is available from Impulse for 4 bucks so I'm downloading that now. It's an absolutely awesome deal.

Nothing. My desktop keeps crashing and I don't know why, though that amount of dust can't really be helping. I think I'll have it serviced.

Rise of the Argonauts.

Rise of the Argonauts.

I thought that had been delayed.

Delayed for the U.K. Rest of the world is getting it today.

 

So Morgoth, I'd be happy to hear your first impressions.

No, it's out since yesterday. But I heard it's delayed to 2009 for UK only. Doesn't make any sense though.

Well, I've played some 2-3 hours now, and I just landed on the first story island Satiria (?), where those grumpy centaurs are doing their things. Anyways, the game sorta starts out a bit "meh". Very confining level design, but it starts to open up a bit later. Combat is pretty good, feels very gory and satisfying, there're a lot combos, and each weapon (sword, mace, speer, shield) has it's own important functulaity, which can be further improved in the "Aspects screen", depending to whom god you align. You spend these deeds into more efficient combos for your weapons, or general improvements for your team mates as well. The atmosphere is very nice as well. No Hollywood bull**** around here, so far. Overall, it's not extraordinary good, nor extraordinary bad. I just started on the first island for the search of the Golden Fleece, so I have to push my teeth a bit deeper into it. More later.

Dark Messiah again. I neglected staffs on my earlier playthroughs, not realizing how fun they were.

My NWN2 module. Coming soon to a computer near you! Several members of this board will be featured in cameos.

ut oh.

 

oh, i'm playing IWD2 again. i got bored of SoZ and wanted some old skool IE action. one of the hardest things is switching my mind-set from NWN2 3.5E rules to IWD2 3E rules. subtle, but enough to make me think a bit more when i level since i'm so used to the 3.5E crpg thing that we've all grown accustomed to.

Hmm, I wonder who the final boss will be?

Well, without revealing too much, my favorite one is a schizophrenic madman wandering the docks of the main setting. He has three different names and personalities but it's always the same guy. You can engage him in conversation and each time calls himself something different his opinions change a little. And it always leaves you a little irritated after talking to him. I'd say the names but that would just give it away.

I wonder who that could be...

me.

you'll have to find a way to either trick me into accepting socialist ideals or convince me that all hope is lost and i should just jump off a cliff. you can go the MDK route, but i'm jabba the hut big so it might be difficult, or at least time consuming.

 

your schizophrenic madman idea sounds kinda funny. i can see him now, wandering around muttering to himself. yakman indeed!

RotA starts to grow on me. Just finished the jungle island, and now have the hot Atalanta on board the Argo. The game quite follows the Bioware formula successfully, without the timewasting bull**** like looting and Bio-boring combat though. Writing is competent, character likeness above average, art is mostly nice, voice acting average, facial expressions are horrible, and overall nice quests and motivating story. It's not the second coming for RPG standards, but nonetheless a very competent one.
