I hope Minas Tirith gets an Ultimate Collector's Edition version.
I am becoming more and more interested in this Digital Extremes developer. Right now I'm playing Darkness II and really enjoying it. The shooting actually feels pretty good and the pacing is bang on. They even have a touching scene that is reminescent of the touching scene in the first one, which was a nice surprise. They also did the PC port of Homefront, which was okay. But if they hit this Star Trek one out of the park, then I'm going to be very curious to see what they do next.
Either she's dead and he lied about everything, or she took off, or she was kidnapped by a third party.
Agreed. I loved Virtuosity.
Andy Warhol once said that everyone should have at least one muscle they could show off. This is his. Otherwise, he strikes me as awkward, nice, boring, unremarkable. Without his cock, he would probably be loveless and sexless. If it were me, though, I would go into porn for a few years and then retire with nymphettes.
You're totally right. Games are reward-treadmills. It would be interesting if you helped this man and actually LOST resources in the process and there wasn't a morality system to give you any kind of reward at all. Not even a checklist on your quests list. Maybe no quest list at all.
Last one was really pretty great. I really felt like I was in an elite squad. That one scene where you're holding out for rescue and your cover is disappearing was amazing.
Turning Point wasn't good.
Can I fly around the world?
Wasn't on my watchlist. But then I saw this just now, and now it is.
That's cheaper than I expected. I thought they'd sell it at 40. One thing I would like from them in the future though: open it up. Give me a huge forest to go hunting humans in. Don't have it this scripted experience. Give me a fundamentally lonely experience with the occasional bear or something to kill. A little like Red Dead. Hopefully on the PC modders will be able to start having some fun with it. Gonna double dip and play it again on PC, I think.
This makes me think a little of Wolverine's lunge mechanic, only if he could slow it down and if he had guns instead of claws.
Throughout the entire Guitar Hero-Rock Band feud I was waiting for U2 to come out with their game, but they just kind of waited it out, put it off long enough to avoid the whole thing. Now I guess I'll never play along with the Edge.
I read all three of Drew's books. They were pretty good. I am sad that he isn't writing the next one, but same thing happened with Clancy. Now he writes books "with" people. That is to say, Clancy comes up with the plots, someone else writes them, Clancy fact-checks them, then they go to the printer.
I don't think this one is being directed by Axel Braun, who is like the king of excellent porn parodies. He did one where he lampooned the Adam West Batman with almost-accurate costumes and sets and it was truly amazing: [en.wikipedia.org]
Gorgeous. Should have been called Godspeed You Black Mesa, though.
I always wanted a gunfight across Nathan Phillip's Square, to rappel down the CN Tower, to free hostages in the Eaton Centre, to stop a terrorist from bombing the Skydome.
I am not sure that's realistic. What's more realistic is that people will pirate more.
Actually, these prices are pretty reasonable.
Never used it, but I am fascinated that Alicia Keys' husband is now arrested.
