Now playing

    Likewise - very tempted to pick up the full game but there's too many other games just now, and I've just gotten myself back into Oblivion

    Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30.

    I'm back on my World War II kick, figured I'd give it a play through. An all around solid game. I'll definitely pick on Earned In Blood when I'm through with this one, but some of the missions are hella-hard.

    Damn annoying checkpoint saves...

    Yes, one of my clients wants me to play their non-WOW MMO game. Sure, I love getting paid to consult on games where they even pay me to play the game... but sheesh! How much MMOness can I absorb at once? :roll:

    Meanwhile, I played some PotC:AWE on 360. What a piece of shit. Sorry Disney but you guys took a great concept (Pirates in videogames) and fucked it all up with horrid gameplay. You can do better!!! Do better!!! Why won't you do better!

    Finally started playing some Wii sports. Even my fiance's mom thinks the Wii is cool.

    Still playing WOW (lvl 46 druid on Mok'Nathal) cause all my clients expect me to know WOW inside and out. I love boring grinding cause it's funzors!

    Shoveling through The Longest Journey. The graphics are kind of painful to look at, and don't really have the charm of older adventure games like DotT and such, but at least the writing is pretty decent.

    Steam also roped me into buying Dark Messiah for $20, so I guess I'll see how that goes.

    They probably should've give everyone full rested untl 60 when the expansion launched to be honest, since that stuff doesn't compare to end-game. But hey, look at it this way, WoW less leveling grind that most other MMORPG's... Yeah, treadmill is fun.

    Personally, when not on WoW pleading with my friends we play something else, I've got Crush and Okami. Finished with God Hand and Disgaea 1's Etna mode has brought me to tears.

    And I'm trying to convince myself FFXII is worth finishing. The initally cool mechanics are its downfall later on because of the level of cheese and automation available. Oh a monster, I shall push the joypad towards it and watch my party kill it with no interaction, oh a boss, I shall proceed to wipe and come back with gambits that trivalise the encounter. Bah, I want to like it!

    c&c 3 atm. i'm not a big ea fan, but i have to say it's decent. i love the balance between tanks and infantry which actually makes the new infantry useful.

    other than that, it kinda reminds me of dune 2, only with tiberium and not spice, and with aliens instead of ordos... or is it just me?

    Finally did it...installed Fallout 2 again. Stayed up playing it to around 01:30, so damn addictive.

    Too bad that I've specced my character all wrong, probably gonna restart now

    Doom 3

    I bought it when it came out, played it half way through, got sick of it and stopped playing it. My internet was down yesterday and I was looking through what games I had installed and said "eh why not finish it up"

    Then I remembered exactly "eh why not"

    Doom 3 has the most unfair fights of any FPS ever. 9 out of 10 fights it spawns at least 1 enemy behind you without any indication it's done so. The prime example being that you'll be engaging a somewhat tough enemy in front of you while strafing backwards or sideways and run right into the unfairly spawned guy behind you, resulting in an assrape sandwhich that you can't get out of. It's the definition of frustrating gameplay.

    It's a shame the battles are so lame because it excels in almost every other respect. Even the snippets of story you get from the PDAs and what not are pretty well done -- it's a very polished game. Just a damn shame about the combat encounters.

    It's definitely one of the best parts of the game. Just being able to wander around while you're listening to one of the characters PDA entries and taking in all the atmospherics is great.

    System Shock 2 owns Doom 3 when it comes to atmospheric PDA's...

    NP: Tomb Raider - Anniversary

    Spent most of yesterday pissing about in Lara's Manor, finished it but I still can't get that final artifact where you have to jump backwards onto the slopes with the grapple.. far far too hard
