Finished Max Payne 2 yesterday. One of the best games I've played in a *long* time. Plays well on a low end PC too

[delta_7890]

I'm waiting for this...

Coming out in the US this August.  I can't wait!

Well.. it depends on which levels really. I think WC3 is worse in the time-to-beat without cheats department though.

Towards the end of each of the campaigns. Especially the ending of the campaigns in brood war.

Yeah. I never did finish the Protoss campaign without cheating. Got stupid hard torward the end.

[Ghostavo]

You all played the secret level in Brood War right? right?

[Knight Templar]

I think I did... with cheats... don't remember.

[Ghostavo]

You don't remember? The best story driven mission in the game and you don't remember?

[ChronoReverse]

Mmmm, Civ3 is fun.

Just started playing it two days ago.  My Egyptian (Communist) Empire managed to convince everyone to vote me as leader of the U.N. (diplomatic victory, imagine, the world was willing to let a communist leader rule over them XD).

And all I had to do was give away all my technology, luxuries and resources to everyone (not too hard when there's only two nations left, they managed to kill each other while I busied myself pushing along the research tree) one turn before I finished building the U.N.  Foolish Germans and Japanese, so easy to manipulate.

BTW, is the Play the World and Conquests expansions worth getting?  Besides new units, is there anything else different?

If I played it, it was three years ago, and with cheats. It's the one where there are protoss hybrids or something like that, right?

[Ghostavo]

correct

[Knight Templar]

Oohh.. I played the Farcry demo just now. Pretty sweet, although I might buy UT2k4 instead, or just buy IL-2: Forgotton Battles. Don't want to overload myself on games.

[kv1at3485]

Ever since MOO3 came out, I've come to accept that I won't be buying any more games for a long time to come.  (And yes, I do enjoy MOO3.  Would be even better if they'd fix the multiplayer bugs, but alas...)

Halo was good fun on heroic (no, I didn't buy it, my brother did), and that's basically my FPS allotment for the next decade since I'm not into FPS.  (They're all the same to me gameplay-wise, not to mention each successive generation just puts more strain on the old vidcard without any substantial improvement in enjoyability.)

I have SimCity 4 on the shelf (bought for me by a certain someone who owed me a favour), and I haven't tried it successfully yet.  (It wasn't until recently that I figured out the problem with my Radeon 9600 SE that caused Generals and Warcraft to fritz.)  But that could be a way out.

Strangely enough, the games keeping me going right now are from the good ol' days of DOS.  Comparatively bad graphics, but they have it where it counts.  When in doubt, just DOS it!

@ Ghostavo: yeah man, that mission rocked (what was it called... "Dark Origin" or something?). Unfortunately, I lost my Brood Wars CD.

@ 01010: thanks for the advice on MP2. Still hunting around for it in the bargain baskets, no luck yet.

[Gloriano]

MP2 is good game indeed
as for games I'am trying find some old games
and play them until some good games comes

[Andreas]

I'd recommend to try out Fallout 1&2 if you're into RPGs, both, especialy the second one, are in my opinion the best RPG-games I've ever played.

Planescape: torment, or Arcanum are just as good.

I've... I've never seen a creature like this before...

ADJUTANT
Test subject twenty nine, classified: Protoss/Zerg
Hybrid, in perfect cryo-hybernation. Psionic
emanations minimal.

ZERATUL
No...

DURAN
Magnificent isn't it?

ZERATUL
What? Who are you?

DURAN
I've had many names throughout the millennia,
young prodigal. You would know me best as
Samir Duran.

ZERATUL
Kerrigan's consort! Is this part of her twisted
schemes?

DURAN
No. Young Kerrigan could not have engineered
this grand experiment. Although her rebirth into
the Zerg Swarm has sped up my progress, I can
assure you that this endeavor is quite beyond her
narrow understanding.

ZERATUL
If you are not her pawn, then what are you?

DURAN
I am a servant of a far greater power. A
power that has slept for countless ages.
And is reflected in the creature within that cell.

ZERATUL
Have you any conception of what you've created
here? Do you have any idea what this... this Hybrid
is capable of?

DURAN
Of course I do. This creature is the completion
of a cycle. It's role in the cosmic order was
preordained when the stars were young. Behold
the culmination of your history.

ZERATUL
All I behold is an abomination.

DURAN
Your violence, young prodigal, is typical. As is
your inablility to comprehend the greater scheme
of things. You can destroy all of the specimens
here. It will do you no good. For I have seeded
the Hybrid on many, many worlds. You will never
find them all before they awaken... And when they
do... your universe will be changed... forever.

Originally in the written after the mission's conclusion
Left with the unsettling knowledge of the Hybrid, Zeratul returned to his ship and left the dark moon behind. Unable to explain his numbing discovery to his companions, he could only sit and fear for the future of the universe...

Damn, I love this game so much...

Mmh, warcraft3. It evolved surprisingly like Tiberian sun. The original game was good, but somehow disapointing, then the extension changed it to a kickass game. Altho I still have no thrill at playing undeads ( which is why I still haven't completed  tFT, since I've reached the undead campaign I do something like a mission every month, so it kindda drags on )
