Yeah Starbuck I agree, SS series is just too silly for me - Duke was enough. And very disjointed feel to it.
Anywho I bought FEAR. While it's definitely not my top pick when I wanted a new FPS I figured for $14 I may as well give it a shot. I guess the biggest problem I've read is the office/dilapidated environment is never escaped from and can be monotonous -- which does bug me, but I'll play through it and see if it's a keeper. I do like the melee kicks. I'm very interested in Test Drive Unlimited but it won't be out for PC until March 20th. I may have to have my friend rent it for 360 so I can at least get an idea of what it's like. I saw videos and it looks great, my only concern is I'd want some solid handling/control - ala GTR 2, or even a notch or 2 below like Flatout - but nothing too sloppy.
If you're as ghey for Oblivion as I am, you'll probably be interested to see the official Shivering Isles trailer that's just been released:
http://elderscrolls.com/downloads/media_movies.htm I still can't get over how many new monsters they're adding in this expansion. I can't wait to kill all of those things with my sword, Sloochy :) This here is perhaps something that could interest mappers. It's basically a puzzle game where you have to build bridges above water. You are given start hardpoints and the cost limit. Then you just place girders.
It's very fascinating and addictive, there are lots of ways you can accomplish your goals. The game is free, you can download it at: http://www.crypticsea.com/ When you first start playing, your bridges will always break up and fall down, it's fun to watch the physics in action.. But pretty soon you learn to make steel bridges that resemble real ones, with triangular shapes and crosses, to hold them stiff. (There have been other more complex bridge building games by the same guys, Chronic Logic, but I think this refines the essence without extra stuff.) I'm at level 9 in the "new" series. lollerskaters on a halfpipe of doom!
i dont run linux on the desktop much, and my puters arent fast enough, u know that! http://www.chroniclogic.com/
More recent (and less free) Bridge Building games. www.armadillorun.com An Incredible Machine like physics puzzle game (I bought this one, it's pretty good). http://www.experimentalgameplay.com/game.php?g=1 A wobbly tower building game. There must be lots more of this type of game. just spotted this today at tenfour:
http://www.amphibian.myzen.co.uk/css_sci_fi_download/ http://accept.hopto.org/smod/phpbb/download.php?id=96 scripts that let you play the counterstrike source maps in sp with improved (more realistic) gameplay than hl2's. it's possible to adjust physics and graphics for improved realism, and because of SMOD (which is required) it's not as blatantly easy as hl2. i was fairly surprised how nice the rebuilt cs maps look. loading times are quite long but playing the maps (objectives: rescuing hostages or killing a certain number of combine, sometimes including reinforcements) was pretty fun. Yes, I've played the other bridge building games like I said, but I think the free one is the best as there's less fooling around.
You know. It's as if tetris 2 had three dimensions, well it isn't doing it any better, just adds more hassle. That's why the crypticsea one was good. I realized after writing what kind of cock I sounded like but had to go somewhere so couldn't write an instant retonement.
don't think it's out in Japan yet, and I've no idea about the release date. I might order it from the US...
whatever, I WILL be playing it soon :) I've been having a lot of fun with it. The game kicks ass, despite some minor warts, and is really pretty. And it's tough.
Holy shit is it tough, especially early-on. DAMN YOU ALL!
My order has been posted but it didnt arrive today :( Really cant wait to get my hands on it. All the reviews I read gave it an 8/8.5 ranking and said when its had a few patches etc they would give it a 9 or higher, thats great news indeed! Im actually kinda glad its harder than most games where you can breeze through without any trouble, as long as its not unfair in doing so... Fingers crossed I will get it tomorrow! and ps - WoW can wait, Ive been waiting for this game for too long :D And that is why everyone who are playing it now are pure fucking evil pirate warez whores
