RTW2 is a janky affair. I'm not buying any DLC till the BAI is at least a little more competent.

But this is just silly. We knew B&G was going to be paid DLC. DLC requires the game code base is...

We'll see a worldwide release date I imagine - we have with other Total War games, so why not this one? :P

I suppose the only backing for an argument that the US would get it later is that CA is a...

The book was OK. Until the last few pages when it just turned to sentimental mush.

First information about Ubisoft's follow up to Far Cry have been released at last. Linkage: http://www.kerpo.org/index.php?site=news_comments&newsID=108

I'm really impressed with the direction...

SHAMELESS PLUG time.

It's not the RTW era strictly speaking, but the Gathering Storm is modding a late antiquity/Empire mod: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=224

I would like...

I would strongly suggest waiting. At the end of the year, Nvidia will be launching their 9x00 series. They'll be over twice the speed of the current 8x00 generation, plus the 9800gts will only cost...

My personal favourite... Rage Against the Machine, Testify.

While RATMs other videos all of course had a political message, Testify is one that I...

Depends entirely on which one you go to; different clubs draw in different people.

Yeah I'm gonna be there. The UK Smashing Pumpkins community is descending in force. Quite a few bands I want to see - Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, Battles, Eagles of Death Metal, Silversun Pickups......

Nothing much to say really... just that it's good :P

Apparently the variety of campaigns works well basically - less varied than a campaign of MTW2, but more interesting on the whole. Basically...

The voice of reason :D

Sure you'll find some ****** clubs all over the country. But you will in Sweden too :P

Got my subscriber copy through the door today - scored 90%

No really new information, other than a summary really of what the pack brings to the table. Just says really that it's not worth...

Word :P

I'm sure there was talk of a Warhammer 40k MMO. I just hope they take that down the route of Planetside. Any other format wouldn't really interest me.

I don't imagine we'll ever see a real movie coming out of GW, at least not a big budget live action one. CG perhaps though, since they did dabble with that a while back, but I can't see any major...

While it's got some of its facts down straight (forgive the pun), I can't help but see it as complete diatribe. It goes above downplaying the role of same-sex relations in Ancient Greece compared...

I have no issues with subscription fees. It's normally the price of 2 or 3 London pints. That's no hardship, even on a student budget.

My problem with them is that there is currently no MMO...

I would agree that Fallout 3 definitely has tonnes of potential. But not that Oblivion is one of the greatest games of all time...

I'm quietly optimistic so far for F3.

Hmmm. Dunno really. Only games I'm looking foward to right now are Fallout 3, Bioshock and Stalker Clear Skies. All a long way off yet :P

Yup. Thinking of getting a Vista caperble machine around Christmas, once all the price reductions this year have gone down :D

I don't really hate WoW. I played it for a good 3 months.

But I just see it as a highly addictive chore. No real diversity in it throughout playing. I only reeeeally kept playing because I was...

Tactics in my eyes took the least impressive aspect of Fallout 1 and 2 and made a game of it.

Infact, I think I even preferred the combat in Fallout 1 and 2 simply because it felt attached to the...

He's both and neither in my eyes.

On one hand, you can argue that he (well, he and Octavian) brought an end to a corrupt, fragile system of government that was doomed to change ever since before...

Personally I prefer the med-pack system. Recharging shields just makes you feel invincible.



Operation Flashpoint? Tribes 2? (Hell, even Tribes 1)



While one of the first few to do so, it...

Yes. DX 10 will in a years time make PC games technologically far surpassing console abilities. Just because there's nothing worth playing before this years up, doesn't mean that it will be the case...

A shocking amount of stuff has got in the way the past couple of days :P

No reviews yet. Tomorrow 10,000 days will be up though :D

I've been possessed before. It's called the munchies.

Actually, I am a little annoyed that Bungie sold out with Halo. The original preview videos looked so much better. The environments looked bigger in scale, and had way more atmosphere about them -...

It's hard to generalise really, particularly given the length of their history. Some times the idea that they kept a disciplined quiet wall marching on the enemy could be as unnerving as a battle...

I think the pessimists have failed to recognise that Lucasarts are changing at the moment; particularly in the region of professional engine development, instead of the half-baked efforts they've...

I'm actually thinking that it could well be up there in quality with KOTOR in some ways. One of those few Lucasarts Star Wars games that isn't just a shoddy game painted in Stormtrooper white....

Yeah I agree. Plus I think Gordon is so much more human a character. The way Half-Life begins is genius in that respect, the scrolling text slowly introducing basic facts about your character, and...

Interesting :P

As a side note, I've had lectures by Stephen Mithen :D

Pssssh.

Brutally average story.
Brutally average, even sub-par level design (especially in 2).
Brutally average dialogue.
Treacly physics.
Horrible Characters. They're so cliche' wridden it's...

Psh... Stalker: Clear Skies, Bioshock and Fallout 3 are the only things there I really give a crap about :P

Indeed it does! I've had it happen to the guy who you help attack the farm with at the start, numerous people in the abandoned vehicles park in Garbage, Wolf - particularly annoying since he and a...

I played for a while with SagerSTALK, but updates stopped coming after a bit...

Just waiting for the new patch right now. And hoping it stops the NPC dying in flaming bins bug XD

Coming soon to my reviews...

Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist
The Jimmy Chamberlin Complex - Life Begins Again
Jaga Jazzist - What We Must

Finally, I'm going to get round to doing a review of...

When it came to plate suits, I know they fitted what I can only call "flaps" for the purpose. I can't remember much, but I know I saw it being demonstrated some time in the past with a replica suit...

I take heart in knowing I've met and lived with both my makers. They're more terrifying than any god could ever be.

As for the Pope's recent revelation; if he wants to condemn the Catholic church...
