If you want a taste of what Portal can offer, you might want to try Narbacular Drop, a student made game that uses the same principles (as far as the portals go. Hell, the students that made it are now employed at Valve working on Portal. You can download the game here.

Montez speaks the truth. I was looking into getting this game for a long time. I haven't played a good TB combat game in a long time (and I still can't get my copy of X-Com: Apcoalypse working). I remember PC Gamer saying when they awarded SS their TB Game of the Year Award, "If sex was...

Montez: Maybe "tedious" isn't the right word. I think they didn't like it because it was repetitive. Their words not mine. I have no opinion of it, having not played it (or having any other relation with the SS engine). By the way, I hate FF to death and believe it to be the reason why...

Gamespot gave it a 5.6/5.5, so I'm a bit skeptic to pick it up. Their main complaints were that the game became very tedious very quickly. Then again, I haven't even played Silent Storm yet, so I have no authority talking about it. That Gamespot review can be found here.

Congrats, game developers of yore. I've lost all faith in humanity.

NMA should definately contact this guy for some new design stuff. I'd love to see him some 50s retro art stuff. And this is just awesome.

The only way Romanians could take over the Galaxy is if they hired Chuck Norris. But seriously, what the hell? This sounds like the worst idea for a game ever. Besides, if I wanted to play a space sim where I fought a rebel faction I'd dig up my copy of Independence War.

Hmmm... As I live in Tucson, I am very aware of this one. It is practically the military base of my area. Worried that this one is still a high-priority nuke target due to its communication significance. A very nice list of places you might want to hide in/flee from during...

Dear God, I hate that stuff. Copy protection like that is the only reason I don't play Populous and Master of Orion- even after I've bought legit used copies that just don't have the manual with them. As far as Spellforce is concerned, it did sound pretty cool, but I was wary of it after...

Is it just me, or is that a chainsaw attached to a fishing rod in the upper-right corner of the second picture?

Online or in stores (or both)? And please say it will be in the States.

The same is true of WoW, just less mouse-mashing. I say avoid both of those games.

Don't be afraid to buy the PC version of Psychonauts either. The controls are really good, not some crappy port type controls (you know the kind. Where you can't even turn the camera). The game is genuinely funny and has some really great gameplay moments. A totally underrated game that...

Savage was a game with a great idea but less than great execution, but I rather liked it. The fact that multiplay was free (as in, no monthly fees) and the RTS/FPS hybrid actually did work was nice. The only problem was that melee combat devolved to button mashing. Often, I found myself...

Can you imagine the commerical? "SUPER HAPPY FUN FUN! WII GREAT CONTROLER LIKE BIRD HAIKU! WRIST MOVEMENT CHANGE THE VISION! BUY NOW TODAY GO GO!" I am not proud I just wrote that.

That's going to be a bitch to program, not to mention the player could notice this system if he usually quits after a combat session. My advice is if you do want the player to have some limited save ability is (this is assuming you've already hidden the save file) to make it when the player...

If you're going to have a system like this, there should be some way to recruit new party members. Otherwise the game is just going to be so difficult that only the most hardcore would touch it. Depends which trade-off you're going for, a game that will sell a few more copies or a game that is...

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the standard for pay-for-play MMOs?

Isn't playing God fun? Hmmm... Oblivion fanboys are stupid and so is the Radiant A.I.... I sense target marketing.

Wait, Rosh left? It was just a joke, right?
