    "It's Only Temporary" - apoc fiction

    The first chapter was interesting, but there were a few things that really turned me off of the story. As mentioned above, the biggest problem I had was the lack of personality in the main character. While I could see the character's seeming detachment from the events evolving into an...

    More Fo3/VB goodies

    I think that's a pretty silly assumption. Considering those are the rough specs for what you'd need to play several higher end modern games at reasonably high frame rates on maxxed settings (HL2, Vampire, Doom 3, Farcry, etc... Those are actually close to my comp specs, and I can't keep...

    STALKER delayed once more

    I'm not so sure using VtM:B as an example of a "rushed" game is particularly accurate. Wasn't Activision forced to sit on Vampire's release date after it was finished due to Vivendi's adamant (and ridiculous) policy on not allowing software using the Source Engine to be released until HL2 was...

    Troika update

    While I'd be as sad as any of the rest of Troika's fans (I've purchased and enjoyed their entire catalogue of games.. although ToEE really got to me at times) if Troika really does close, there would be a potential bright side as well - it would open the door for Bethesda to acquire original...

    RPGs of 2005 part 3

    NwN sucked when it was originally released in 1993, and it still sucks 11.5 years later. On the other hand, I think BioWare is going to strike RPG gold with Jade Empire. I can't help but picture JE as a KoTOR clone that replaces all of the boring over used cliche Starwars nonsense with...

    IPLY still alive?

    I was an EA fan for years, solely thanks to their Madden line, but the entire NFL Exclusivity thing killed it for me. I see nothing wrong with forcing employees into slave labour like situations, but to ruthlessly monopolize the NFL based gaming market, effectively destroying the graphically...

    Trash interview at Experience Gaming

    What an aptly named game. Is it just me, or is the misuse and general raping of the term "Post Apocalyptic" becoming something of an epidemic in the world of "fringe" gaming? I can just see the brainstorming that went in preproduction: From everything I've seen on this particular game...

    IPLY still alive?

    Ratty, don't underestimate the value of FOO. With "Post-Apoc" being the hottest current catch phrase (albeit a recycled one), and the MMo market hotter (and more saturated..) than ever, I could certainly see IPLY selling off the rights to FOO for mega bucks to a startup company, or a veteran...

    Shadow Vault First Look

    Sadly, Bethesda is known for "pushing the envelope", graphically speaking. Even Arena sported relatively cutting edge graphics back around it's release. I have a feeling they'll be minimally consulting with Troika/Obsidian to keep the feeling of the FO Universe intact (good), but that it...
