You're right, something went terribly wrong. It went wrong in the 90s with the release of a game that sold so well that marketing "gurus" worldwide took notice. In regards to PC games, it changed the gaming industry, moving the emphasis in game design to graphics over content. It not only made...

Appealing is a waste of time here. The gist of the matter is that you don't know for certain how the Scout/Explorer perks work, therefore you are not in a position to rule on whether they are the right or wrong answer, regardless of your "powers" of moderation. You might as well have asked...

So because you don't know the answer yourself, it is automatically wrong? I find that to be a very weak line of reasoning. What about the ones that got it wrong? Are they just supposed to eat dust? If anything, I just showed that "crystal clear" is not applicable here.

Canonicity is a word? Anyway, PM sent.

Where to begin... # For Thief 1 and 2, there is the Enhancement Pack which helps bring the graphics of the games into the 21st century. There's also one for Thief: Deadly Shadows. There is also an AI tweak mod around for those that breeze through the Thief games. Look here. # Duke Nukem 3D...

So "Load Saved Game" wasn't good enough for these guys?

If the culprits behind this "development" were to be put in a line-up, you would find Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis, Michael Chiklis and some skinny little bloke who represents the lazy game developers out there. Do you know how easy it is to give a character model this look, from a...

One thing which makes me want to check out Saints Row 2 is the radio. Turn on the radio, tune in to the 80's music channel. Listen as your character starts humming along to "The Final Countdown".

Dracon M'Alkir: I don't see a reason to mention Prince Of Persia 2 specifically. I remember playing it through to the end and the only bit that frustrated me was the end battle itself. Otherwise it's just like very other game that was released in and around 1990 that depended on über-hard...

It's very VERY similar. In fact, I would go as far as to say that there's no difference at all. EFBB ran just as sloppily for me as the other id Tech 4-engine games.

That's cool. The only reason I asked was because the very same site got into a hissy fit some time ago because other sites offered downloads of Wesp's patch for V,TM: Bloodlines. The Patches Scrolls claimed that they were the only website (beside the author's) that had permission from the author...

Hey killap, just one question: I see that the German website The Patches Scrolls has now added your Fallout 2 Restoration Project patch (both 1.1 and 1.2) to their archive of patches. Did you give them permission to do so? (Or did they ask? Do you care whether they have it up or not?)

Doom 3, Quake 4, Prey and Chronicles of Riddick all use the same engine, and to me they all pretty much blend into one mediocre FPS with strong shadows and a whole lotta dark. Of these, I haven't completed Riddick, and don't think I ever will. Doom 3 took the cake though, for being completely...

Serious Sam 2. Shows everyone how long it's been since I last paid full price for a game that disappointed me.

I found SoU to be the best of the bunch, for one simple reason: Variety. There are class-specific paths available in SoU that I did not (or have not) come across in HotU. Play as a Paladin and you get access to parts of some dungeons that are unavailable to anyone else. Play as a Druid and talk...

Cyberdiscs are vulnerable to lasers...but it sounds like you don't have any laser weapons right now. Also, stay as far as away from them when you shoot at them. They tend to go out with a bang...but I guess you already know that.

I didn't buy it when it came out, but a few years later it was released in a Planetary Pack which included the Alien Crossfire expansion. That's when I got it.

Some of the games mentioned here are great, but were not overlooked in their time. Beneath A Steel Sky, Ikari Warriors and Moonstone are good examples. Moonstone even made the tabloids due to its bloody and gory violence, well ahead of Mortal Kombat IIRC.

Not quite. While Medkits do sell for more than Motion Scanners, and it costs less to make a Medkit, it takes almost twice as long to make a Medkit than a Motion Scanner. In the time it takes you to produce one Medkit and sell it for a profit of $18000, you can produce two Motion Scanners and...

Here are a few tips (that can not be considered exploits): # If you need to hire Scientists or Engineers, wait to do so until the last day of the month. They won't be delivered to your base until next month, and you skip on paying them a month's pay. # If you find a UFO and you know where...
