2/10 WOULD NOT INGEST

I have Ur-Quan Masters installed on my PC right now. It kinda makes me angry with the time limit. I don't like time limits.
Change it in the source code. I am actually in that sort of mood today, being flush with the success of getting Wasteland to run this morning. Let's see if it lasts until I get home. |
Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.
They called it The Prayer, its answer was law

I prefer Shadow to Ico. No helping it really. Ico had some puzzles that broke up the gameplay something wretched. It just didn't flow for me the way SotC flowed. Ico is Nate Dogg to SotC's Warren G.

New Classics
Dead Rising
Europa Universalis II
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Shadow of the Colossus
World of Warcraft
Dead Rising is very new, but I feel that it warrants attention. It really brings something games have lacked... A sense of urgency. The ingame clock is always running in a sandbox envoirment. You get all these cool distractions or you can go on these missions. Shenmue did it, but there was seldom a overarching timer that felt this solid, and the consequences never really felt like that big of an deal in a so realistic setting. The game also looks great and the mass zombie setting is very fitting for a game :)
EUII is just the greatest strategy game I've played so far. You can pace it just as you want to. Realtime with the ability to pause. The diplomatic part feels ok in it, if a bit underdeveloped. But it's so much nicer then Civ3's. Looks terrible but charming.
GTA:VC took what was best of GTA3, and didn't have all the added extra, and un-needed stuff that GTA:SA had. Gold.
Shadow was a really nice surprise. I never really got into ICO, and the whole following the girl around. And I didn't really like the brown/gray art direction. But Shadow really blew me away, downing the colossus felt like a real achievement. I dropped the grind, and put you straight to an interesting and challenging bossfight.
WoW got me into MMO's, and I still love the game. Probably return to it once BC launches. Good Times.

I shoud've included the Might and Magic games as well. MM 3, 4, and 5 were the best. The first one I ever played though was the Genesis port of 2. Damn good game there. Kept me on for at least a year.

I was drinking when I wrote this, so sue me if it goes astray.
