hows is empire at war? i downloaded the demo, but haven't installed it yet. what are your thoughts on it?

I'm coming from a Star Wars fanboy bias, so I love it. But its like playing Risk, except everytime you attack a territory, you engage in a command & conquer style battle for that territory, except the territories are planets, and you need to control the land and space above the planet. I've been playing it all weekend as the Empire. I have about 30 of 45 planets conquered.

Definitly play the demo, and if you like it, pick it up. Its fucking awesome!

[edit], isnt Splinter Cell 4 Double Agent? How the hell did you get a copy of it, and where can I play it? Cuz if I remember correctly, Chaos Theory was 3...

what everyone else said. Looks nice, very Quakish. Just needs more lighting contrast.

well, when you think about it, tetris was using the full power of the machine back then.

But even for the modern spinoffs, like Lumines, you dont need to push the envelope in terms of power in order to have a damn fine entertaining game.

Star Wars: Empire at War

Command and Conquer: Generals & Zero Hour

Lumines

Anyone for multiplayer Empire at War or Generals?

#1 is violated by MMOs.

pretty much what JynxDaddy and everyone after him said.

sex.

starforce = malware. The company thinks that anyone who is having problems with StarForce are "low-level beginner hackers who try to get around our system" and refuses to even respond to the acusations with something other than childish name calling and lawsuits. What they dont realize is that everyone who is complaining are the legal owners, because the "hackers" have access to a free version that does not have the malware, so why would they complain?

SecuRom FTW.

Interesting concept, but some of the brushwork looks a little half-life 1.

Good Luck.

oh steppenwolf, the best part is how the company responds to those accusations.. I've been boycotting StarForce for some time now.

I thought I was the only one! Stunts FTW.

[edit]Why would you put copy protection on a free game? Boycott StarForce.

Looks like you're right there, mino. Take-Two has two more lawsuits coming its way...

This is just funny.

Prostitutes call for ban on GTASex workers cry foul, say game "accrues points to players for the depiction of rape and murder of prostitutes."

The Grand Theft Auto franchise is getting attacked from all angles. Joining the ranks of politicians, policemen, and attorneys in their crusade to see the game lifted from shelves are the nation's sex workers. On its Web site, the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA is asking parents to assist them in calling for a ban of Take-Two Interactive's controversial game.

Citing a 2001 document from the National Institute on Media and the Family's David Walsh, SWOP is calling "on all parents and all gamers to boycott Grand Theft Auto."

The organization quotes various points from Walsh's paper, including, "Children are more likely to imitate a character with whom they identify with. In violent video games the player is often required to take the point of view of the shooter or perpetrator."

Though the organization admits to being "adamantly opposed to any and all forms of censorship," as concerned parents themselves, they "wish to inform other parents of the potential danger extremely violent video games pose to children." Likewise, in the interest of promoting the rights of sex workers, the organization is opposed to the depiction of the rape and murder of prostitutes.

In the games, players can solicit "services" from prostitutes by driving their cars slowly near them. No sexual acts are in clear visible view, but during the "transaction," the player regains health and loses money. Though the player cannot actively rape prostitutes in the game, a possible rape is alluded to once during the storyline of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The prostitutes, like every other character, are also subject to homicide at the hands of the protagonist.

According to its Web site, SWOP USA is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of sex-industry workers and to the promotion of a safe working environment for the industry.

Wow, people on that forum are rather mean. Thats better than most (if not all) fy maps out there.

and in about two weeks, someone is going to discover that picasa makes copies of all you pictures and puts them on a google server, and there will be yet another uproar similar to whats happening with google desktop 3.

I'm not saying it does that, and I'm not saying I care. In fact, I'm not sure what I'm saying. cool program, though.
