I was playing this at a friend's house the other day. It could be a bit frustrating at times, but it was definitely one of the funner FPS's I've played in the last few years.

I stopped taking Time seriously when they had that cover a few years back, the one that featured two hands ripping a hole in the US flag, that was very reminiscent of a certain web image (hint: it begins with the letter "g" and ends in "cx"). For better or worse, I just couldn't take them...

I can vaguely imagine an rpg that works within the Alien setting, but honestly I don't see them departing from their formula enough to make it. The idea of the Alien setting with KOTOR2/NWN2 gameplay is pretty funny though.

I realized I was going to be beat to most of my favorites, but I even got beat to the obscure Steve Martin movie! Since everything I was going to say has been said, I'll add some movies that aren't strictly in the genre but share things in common with it, if only in a broad way. "Blood...

I played around with some of the earlier versions and had a lot of fun with them. I don't think I'd actually pay for it, but I'm glad Valve is giving him a chance to make some money from it.

It always gives me a good laugh when atheists are just as fanatical, passionate, furious and intolerant towards "disbelievers" as the most righteous and devoted servants of The Lord. For something that you supposedly believe doesn't exist, you sure get worked up over it.

I liked Vice City the best. It had much more character than GTA3, and enough improvements that it didn't feel like I was just playing the same game with a different map. I think San Andreas is actually the best one in the series as far as gameplay goes, and the story feels much more complete and...

I think he means more that if they only knew that "Oblivion" has seemingly become to games discussions here what "Hitler" is to political discussions.

I'm not a fan of the original Baldur's Gate, but I have to point out that there's a mod out there that will let you play it using BG2's engine (BGTutu, I think?), which makes it a lot easier to get in to and funner to play. I had about 4-5 aborted attempts at BG before this mod because the game...

Curses, foiled by my own ridiculous rhetoric! I'll get you next time, you perspicacious purveyor of proportional ponderings!

Jeez, the rest of the list had better be pretty good. I'd rank the demo for Fallout 1 above most other games, nevermind the game itself.

"Life of the Party" is probably my favorite level of any game ever, so I guess that's a good reason for optimism. Although it's pretty much canceled out by the constant barrage of fatalistic "we'll never please you guys" from their side; which, considering that what most of us want is simply a...

Turns out I'm just stupid - I was aiming way too low. Now that I've got the hang of it I'm using it a lot more. Still prefer bows though, if only for the fast reload time.

Well, I finally liberated it. I let my hit points stay at the default the whole game, and just as a test I bought 100 more. Suddenly Cape Dun and almost everything else became a lot easier. HP's are a lot more effective than armor in this game, I guess. Crossbows are still useless for me...

Yeah, I delivered the weapons bundles. I've been trying to use the doorway but the guy with the crossbow directly outside of it always ends up staggering me, and that ends up being it for me. The inside doorway is a little better, but I always get quick-hit and swarmed. I have managed to kill...

I recognize that they're different weapons, I just thought that they were useless even in the context of crossbow use. The damage difference wasn't that much from bows, they had a tiny range, and you had to wait through the entire reloading animation (about 2-3 seconds, by which time whatever...

Did they fix wildlife being unstoppable killing machines or crossbows being near useless? Those are the only two things that are really bugging me so far. Also, I'm not sure if I just haven't got the hang of the new combat system yet or what, but one-handed weapon use seems pretty suicidal...

I'm not really enthusiastic about it but I'll probably pick it up at some point since it's one of the few RPG type games coming out. I really wish they would ditch their idiotic combat system and pick a side though. Real-time or turn-based, I don't really care which, either is better than...

I don't know, sounds like you're just looking for something to complain about. I think the variety of plant life in Gothic I and II was a nice touch, and I think most other people feel the same. Unless the game is forcing you to spend hours scouring the world for herbs then I don't see the...

I broke down and ordered the UK version. I'm kind of worried about all the bugs and the I've been hearing about, but the game sounds too good to wait until November. The combat I'll have to experience first hand - too many of the complaints about fighting sound exactly like the complaints people...
