    USA Today previews Fallout: New Vegas

    Wait, am I missing something here? Tribal settlement = fallout shelter?

    Interview with J.E. Sawyer on Xbox Live

    Heh, interesting thought. Overall the idea of Hardcore mode is a good one, even if most of us might feel it should be the default mode (like it seemed to be at one time, hey? :P). I just worry that it will play more like 'Vanilla with enemies with higher HP and DPS' despite what is...

    Minecraft

    This actually looks awesome. I can see myself spending hours on end at this with a friend or two, building up a little area and digging out tunnel systems. I wonder what the final product will be like. Will be keeping an eye on this!

    Mount & Blade

    Thanks for the responses all I picked it up, and tried it out yesterday while I was supposed to be studying for an exam. 10 hours later...... I went to bed. Addictive, wow! It didn't take long to realize that the features other than combat were really shallow (covered pretty well in...

    Stalker: Call of Pripyat

    STALKER is most certainly a shooter. Thing is (at least this is my perception), it's not designed to be one of those typical action-packed FPS games that we're all getting tired of. Maybe it's because it isn't very GOOD at being a shooter (above I said I think some of the flaws of the...

    What game was this?

    Hehe, I'll drop a couple hints. First word in the name is a utensil A famous(ly bad) comedy actor was quite involved with this, and even voiced it.

    Mount & Blade

    I've noticed that Steam has this game I've never heard of -- Mount & Blade -- up for sale for $4.99, for this weekend only. Apparently it was released a year ago and features sandbox gameplay and horseback-fighting action. The metascore isn't too bad either (72, which usually tells me "it...

    What game was this?

    This game was so bad that it's nearly impossible to find a good picture of it. I'll put up two that should be recognizable to anyone who has seen or played it. It was different at the time for being an interactive fighting... well... movie. Smaller one, but maybe more identifiable:

    Heavy Rain: What has been Watched can not be Unwatched

    I wouldn't agree with that. I suppose it could be used as a bit of a general statement, but I guess thats why I'm usually drawn to FPS games that are very difficult and punish the typical run-and-gun behaviour. Not to say that can be a lot of fun when you just want to see a few explosions and a...

    Stalker: Call of Pripyat

    I really wanted to pick up the collector's edition for this, but not a single store in my area sells the game. Not even the regular version. I'm the kinda guy that wants a tangible copy, so I'm not really interested in a digital download, even if I'd get a discount for owning the previous...

    Fallout: New Vegas OXM preview scans

    Hahaha. Yup. Oblivion 5. They've done away with the pre-Todd Howard Fallout, and now they've done away with the pre-Todd Howard Elder Scrolls. Oblivion 5? Please.

    Retail release of Star Trek: Online

    I guess what I meant by a garbage core was the way the game is designed to be so heavily and utterly instanced that it breaks up both the 'massively' and the 'multiplayer' part of it all at once. The universe feels like a broken up mess... which it is. Sector space... I can't stand it! the way...

    Retail release of Star Trek: Online

    The number of different pre-order specials that granted different bonuses is enough to warrant suspicion (as people would want to buy multiple $60 preorders to get all the bonuses, which ended at launch time of course). Not to mention that the $250 lifetime subscription was only available for a...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat released in the US today

    Uh oh, that doesn't bode well for my machine then :P it's bordering on 5 years old now, though I've since upgraded the graphics card. Oh well, it's not like I played the other two games on bust either (especially Clear Sky, those sun ray effects are just brutal on the hardware). That's one...

    Retail release of Star Trek: Online

    I played in the open beta, and man, that is one MESS of a game. I've been hyped about Star Trek online for a long time now, and am quite a fan of the franchise. But not even the setting could save this game for me. I've tried very hard to justify and convince myself that I could like this...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat released in the US today

    I also couldn't get through Clear Sky, and played it's predecessor endlessly (still do, with the Oblivion Lost mod.) Recently I decided to give Clear Sky a second shot, except this time I put some mods on it. Specifically ones to enhance the mood and atmosphere (significantly increased...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat released in the US today

    Fifth of this month I believe for the UK release. There isn't a single store in my area that carries this game. Sad, I was really looking forward to picking this up today.

    What game was this?

    Correct. Since no one else seems to be posting, I'll continue! Next up is what I would probably rank as my favorite game of all time. Since we're on a Fallout (read: amazing RPG) forum, I would be shocked if any of you didn't recognize this beast. Possibly even offended if you didn't like...

    What game was this?

    No mistaking that HUD. This was incredibly fun with a joystick.
