I've been playing a lot of The Hidden (HL2 mod) lately, and it's great fun... when it works! Buggy, including a bug that crashes the game about 50% of the times you try to join a server... But a new beta with these things fixed should be out soon. Until then, it's still a blast... when it works! cynicism--;

One of the 200 or so pirated games on my brother's C64 no doubt! Ah, what a machine. It taught me how to read when I was 3, and when I was 7 I was already playing English IF games. With little success mind, but I was playing them! First PC games that I really played a lot are probably Civilization, Dune 2, Police Quest 1 and Indiana Jones: Last Crusade. I copied (sorry!) IJ:LC from a friend who didn't realize you could save the game. Everytime he wanted to play it, he had to start from the beginning. He managed to finish it. Hardcore.

Actually, I posted that horrible screenshots for two reasons. 1) It looks like crap, technically, as you've all noticed. and 2) It looks like their concept artist is 9 years old. It just looks so... awful. Even those nick posted. A veiny mass of flesh with a huge gun for an arm, hovering around? Is this it? Have I finally gotten old? :/

Revolutionary!

I'm getting it slowly via the torrent on 3dgamers.com FEAR is one of these games that I expect that playing the demo will be fun, and just enough of the game that anymore would lead to boredom and frustration. Btw, did anyone else think the "trailer" to this game was the silliest thing ever? 0:00 - 0:05 Oooh! FEAR! Fear is a strange emotion! Ooooh! OOOOH! FEEEEAR!! 0:06 - 1:30 *absolutely, positively standard FPS action that looks identical to any run-and-shoot game you've ever seen* 1:31 - 1:36 OOOOOH! FEEEEEAR! BE AFRAID!

About time somebody brought Skool Daze into the new millennium!

Yeah, I'm kind of neutral about the whole deal, and that article I linked to has a few too many swears to be taken completely seriously. But I do think it would have been insanely cool to see David Bateson himself as 47 in the movie.

Heh. (http://www.hitmanforum.com/article.php?subaction=showfull&id=1122301367&archive=&start_from=&ucat=8&showcategory=8) [ontopic]The Doom movie looks bad![/ontopic]

I'll be damned. An adventure game I'm actually looking forward to!

Stealth and hiding is all good, but not in an empty hallway. Directly under a light. God, no. Sure, there were other annoying bits in the game too, but that scenario was the one that made me uninstall.

I think the fact that enemies can sit in an empty hallway directly under a light, without your soldiers noticing them even if you run into them, indeed makes this game too hard.

god... damnit

Hmm. The portals and gravity shifts look nice, but that video still contains everything I'm so tired of: - Darkness - Teleporting monsters - Demons - Teleporting monster demons that take half a minute of constant fire to kill, after which you yawn and prepare for the next teleporting monster demon - Big, strange guns that shoot green things that go "bzloork!"

Interesting choice for a "sneak peek" image. And by interesting; I mean not very interesting at all. It has nothing in it that wasn't in HL2.
