Malcador Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Will attempt to get Grim Fandango working on Win7 this weekend, popped back in my head from an EG article. Best adventure game I've played.

Starwars Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I loved Grim Fandango all in all but I really disliked the 3d control scheme. It was just really clunky. That said, with all this news going about, perhaps it's time to start it up again... Or maybe Full Throttle.

HoonDing Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 If there truly was a gaming god, this Kickstarter success would convince Neal Hallford and Brian Moriarty to try and make sequels to Betrayal and Krondor and Loom, respectively. After more almost 20 years, though, who in their right mind would still bother. I finished a replay of Betrayal at Krondor last weekend, still an amazingly fun game to play. I'll move to Betrayal in Antara, and while it's a nice game as well, it just isn't the same. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Gorth Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 Gratuitous Space Battles. Got it from one of the past 'Humble Bundles'. I'm seriously considering some of the expansions for it. There is something relaxing about just hitting the 'Fight' button once the planning and deployment is done. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

greylord Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I know some have played Vanquish on these forums. The challenge missions get impossible! Anyone here beat them all? I think they may be too hardcore for me...

Labadal Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Playing Arc the Lad. I was only supposed to try it out for half an hour. I ended up playing 2,5 hours, ate dinner and then played again for another 1,5h. Avadon: The Black Fortress. Bought it on day 1 but didn't play much. Continued on my old save file and enjoying it. I like the turn based combat even if it is a bit simple. I guess I like to have a group of characters to control. Combat can be a little challenging on few occasions, but mostly it is a breeze on normal. I won't even comment on the graphics, no one plays this for the graphics. Writing is better than I thought, So that's a good thing. There are some annoying things like item management and collecting items is annoying. The lack of any music is also something that bothers me, but I remedy this by listening to other game soundtracks. Will start Yakuza 4 next week. I've had it since it released, and I've been itching to play it.

CymTyr Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Currently I am working on (in no particular order) Risen, the campaigns in Magic: Tactics, Fallout: New Vegas, and Dungeon Siege 3. What makes a man worthy? Is it his lust for life, his passion for power, or his wisdom for withstanding the deeds of others?
GhostofAnakin Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Up to around Level 13 in Skyrim. I'm enjoying it, mainly because of the exploration. I have to start actually finishing all these quests soon. I've just been going around to the various towns and cities and talking to people, getting quests added to my journal, but not actually doing them. I've only found one companion so far, Lydia. I've come across three that I could hire as mercenaries, but Lydia's the only "free" help I've found. Wait, scratch that. I also had an Elf from the first town, but he got killed in one of the dungeons. Hopefully he wasn't necessary for further quests.

WorstUsernameEver Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 After finishing Dark Souls I'm now playing Shadows of the Damned (good game, although with way too many **** jokes for my tastes) and Portal 2 (taking it really slowly with this one for some reason).

BobSmith101 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Is that the Arc the Lad that was on PSN a couple of weeks ago?
