Checkout the readme.wri file. There is a subheading called Monster Spawning. Here is a partial cut and paste but you'll want to read that whole section:
Monster Spawning Not all ecologies support these new unsupported variables. A few will still respawn at their default rates. For instance, there are two ecologies on MedSci1, and only one of them is affected by these variables. If you've killed everything in a given area, and you wait around long enough, you'll notice that more monsters are spawned to keep you busy. To minimize respawning, use the configuration variable: no_spawn wanted to play the game the devs intended me to tho :)
hm, im now at recreation deck and i have to say it gets a bit.. tiring. all this worms everywhere shit gets on my nerves :) its just that its the same for 3 levels... Some of you will have played the Flash version of this. I'm currently horribly addicted to the Nintendo DS version. It has a Tetris-like quality to it... crack in game-cart form.
It's just a bejeweled clone with different graphics.
The old arcade game had some of the most hardcore air control ever, by the way. Here's a flyer with some screenshots: http://www.jmpc.com/Starcade/Starimages/ZooKeeper/zookeep2.gif 1943 (P38 plane combat against Japan Air Forces) was IMHO one of the best arcade games I ever played (before discovering Doom and Quake...) I know some guys who found an emulator in order to play the game on Linux, and it's still really funny...
http://www.gamespot.com/arcade/action/1943/screenindex.html Forgive me if I stop being coherant midway through writing this, it'll likely be that Lumines has yet again eaten my soul and left me a cold, hollow man with an addiction to it's pretty lights and sounds.
Lumines is a Playstation Portable puzzle game which is somewhere near a cross of Tetris and Tetris Attack, with some of the cool audio/visual effects of Res thrown in. Play is rather basic, you have rotatable falling squares of 4 blocks that can be 2 colors. The goal is to score points by dropping the blocks to make single color squares of 4 blocks. A 'scanline' passes by the playfield left to right constantly, and removes all the singlecolor squares you've made. Points are awarded depending on how many squares you clear in one pass. There are also 'special' blocks, which are one of the two colors and have a jewel in them. When you make a square with a special block in it, all connected blocks of the same color are also cleared, which generally will clear large areas and make big combos for you next pass of the scanline. Just like Tetris, the game is over when the play area is too full to drop a block. The Audio and Visual effects are what makes the game so awesomely cool. Every 5-10 levels has it's own animated background and ambient song. Beats and lyrics to the song are played when rotating, dropping, and clearing blocks. There are also some special visual effects depending the the background. All and all making the game look and sound very fun to play. Only bad thing I can say about the game is that when you play the game through, the order of the backgrounds is always the same, and the first one has a song with a very repetitive 'shinin' and shinin' and shinin' and shinin'...' lyric to it. But it's otherwise very cool. Anyone with a PSP is going to want this game. Definately one of the best Puzzle games I've played in some time. Yeah BROTHERS IN ARMS : ROAD TO HILL 30 Mini/crap review!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL aw gibbie lol!.
Yeah so its an fps that defies pretty much everything an fps tries to be. But also remains pretty fun after the fact. Lemme explain u fucking retards!!! Ok, so. In prety much all fps games if u aim at the enemy and shoot then u score a hit!!! BUT NOT IN BROTHERS IN ARMS LOLOLOOL!!! Actually if they are behind cover u get a nicen circle that fills with colour that shows that the enemy is suppressed which means that u are owning them so u can move and fire while they are shitting their pants!!! This is generally how u win the game, suppress the enemy then outflank them with your secondary squad and pwn them hard. It sounds wwird but if u can get used to shooting at the enemy without any real consequences other than getting them to take cover then it actually becomes quite fun after a while. Especially when u gain a 2nd squad or a tank! Graphics are good enough and AI is good too, your dudes take cover and shoot at shit, and generally do what u want, with NOT VERY occasional glitches (tank in breakfast room etc!) its all good son! It can get frustating at times, (shooting at germans and not scoring a hit even tho your crosshair was on them OMGLOLBBQ!!! but if worth a try imo. It is very strategic at times too, u can give orders to your squad(s) to tell them to kick arse or SHAG EACH OTHER BY A WALL LOL CZG! etc which is nice'. I am on level 7 and rock balls! K mini review / shit hole bright to you by DaZ!!!!!! YES I ROCK!!! see u in chav magazine with Kinn etc kotor2. so far so good, although parts of it are a bit more frustrating than the original, which i loved playing through immensely.
that matrix online game looks/seems pretty cool, from what i've read. may have to give that a go after kotor2. and maybe finish splinter cell. speaking of which, anyone tried sc: chaos theory? I felt it in #tf, but now I'm 100% positive that DaZ has been possessed by the Daemonic soul of czg.
Hang in there DaZ, we will send these blasphemous Daemons back into the abyss from whence they crawled. (P.S. - looking forward to your photoshoot in the latest issue of Chavs ^_~ ) I played up to level 5 (I think) before getting bored. It turns out that 'genuine military tactics like they done used in the war' consists of approaching every combat situation in exactly the same way, making for very repetitive gameplay.
The graphics I thought were way below par for a current PC game. Lots of nastily washed-out textures on some of the levels as well. The character models in particular are going to look a bit sucky to you if you've played HL2 on high quality settings. Sir Daz is dead right about the shitty invisible walls "I am a well trained fit and healthy soldier yet I cannot climb over a tiny pile of twigs which is blocking this gateway OH NOES." The first-person squad control interface is also incredibly intrusive - it looks like some kind of half-assed Flash game has been superimposed on top of World War 2. Surely this could have been designed to blend in with the rest of the game's artwork more appropriately? So I traded it in to buy the new Timesplitters. metl: that game has some pretty neat mechanics. Glad you pointed that out.
JP: you're talking about xmame I assume. If you google romnation you can download (if you legally own the game, heh) the roms for the rest of the 1940 series. Also look into Strikers 194*. If you ask I can always recommend more. Meanhile a friend lent me Resident Evil 4 and I've been playing that. I tried RE2 (I think) a long time ago and I didn't really care for it. I started RE4 with low-expectations and when I started getting frustrated with the first chainsaw dude I almost have up. I got through it though and now I'm 20 hours in and can't put the damn thing down. I'm also still playing poker. I'm up a bunch online and just won $100 at the casino today. I picked this up and expected it to be another Devil May Cry rip off... and it is, but it's a lot of fun.
The design is top quality. Everything, characters, levels, story and voice acting, attacks, everything in this game is top quality. TOP of the top. Like Kilamanjaro top. Or is it Everest? I forget, one of those is top of the top, just like the quality of this game. Levels wind back on themselves, opening new areas and what not as you progress. I expected sort of linear levels that moved only forward, but the layout of each level is truly spectacular. I'm on level 4 right now, and I am very surprised by the design so far. Very spectacular. For example, in level 3 you're scaling down the side of a mountain village around Athens, and wayyyyy in the distance is this huge Ares being attacked by a huge army, with all sorts of missiles flying around, and Ares is just shooting fireballs and picking people up and eating them. That's all background stuff, but occasionally you get a scripted sequence fireball that comes and destroys a building in your way or something. And as you scale down the mountain, dawn peaks and the lighting subtly changes, from early morning blues to pinks to reds to oranges to yellow at dawn... very very nice. I must say, the game has kept my interest a lot more than Katamari Damacy, which is pretty good too, but God of War is just amazing so far. If you have a PS2 I would recommend it. 5 thumbs up. In case you didn't know, they got lots of boobies in there too. Tons of em. Boobies everywhere. On women and monsters. Sexy booby monsters. Boobies and blood. Good stuff. 6 thumbs up.
God of War is perhaps the best game I've ever played...
I tried some days ago Red Faction II in deathmatch mode... and while it was quite funny to fight against bots (like in most deathmatch contest...), I was really disappointed how item looked ingame... Weapons, health and ammos are "disco" colored in transparent-like red, white, yellow, purple, etc... colors... It was not like in the SP game where you have real items... I was really surprised to see how ugly they look... *cough*
Maybe it's an exploit, but here's how you sneak the sniper rifle into the hotel, Traditions Of The Trade:
Before you approach the guard who checks your ID, drop the sniper case. Let him check it, pickup the sniper case. Turn sideways and strafe a bit up to the metal detector, do not pass through it! Drop the case. Go through the metal detector now. Once you're on the other side, pick up the sniper case. Enjoy! Just finished: Painkiller: Battle Out Of Hell
After having to reinstall both games to get it to work. Quite good, a bit on the short and repetitive side, but some good maps and more interesting enemies this time. Just more Painkiller really. Just started: Far Cry A complete change of direction. So far, so good. Still looks great and plays interesting too. Just installed: Vampire The Assquerade A bit dark and gloomy for summer evenings but when the British summer rains start I might play it. Just about to buy: D3: Erection of Evil Well, yes. vampire: the masquerade
something about the character you play just ruined it for me. maybe his piss poor jumping motions? the hokey combat & effects? I just felt so taken out of the game at times. maybe I'll try to get back into it again... d3: roe, I've stopped playing at the final boss. why I don't really know. Maybe it's me realizing I've seen all there is to offer by this point, why bother finishing it. If someone tells me it's actually worth playing through the final battle then maybe I'll pop that cd back in the tray. It's WELL worth the 5 minutes to kill Betruger. The ending is amazing - I won't spoil it though.
Where Dr Whatshername says those last 3 words, just before the credits roll, simply amazing.
