it looks better and the combat is a bit more streamlined, you can only play as a human. I only played about 15 mins before work yesterday but the intro segment was pretty cool.

gemini rue - very solid indie quest, nice retro graphics with very good artwork and atmosphere, gripping story.

DAMN RIGHT.

just preordered Rage (finally) and you should too..

Why?

Rage looks amazing.

Baldur's Gate 1 on Baldur's Gate 2 engine, w/ EasyTuTu.

Rage is the first game to showcase ID software's new engine (id tech 5)

yep, the megatexture stuff where no textures or patterns repeat over the entire map. Carmack is a freaking genius.

FINALLY I FINALLY BEAT THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF GOW FUCK YOU SPIKE TOWER THINGY FUCK YOU TO HELL AND BACK FUCK THAT SHIT ITS

FUCKING FINALLY DONE THAT LAST LEVEL WAS TORTURE.

anyone got any recs for a good game to play on a shitty netbook with a crap floating track pad that has no right mouse button and tiny stupid fucking keys? tried fallout and that was WAY too much mousing. tried colonization and it was just clunky.

oooh shooter2 finally dropped so played that briefly. its more of the same so far.

 

also been playing that new pacman dx championship game. fuck me its fast and hard to get used to the slow down bits. i'm too old for this game. my reactions times are awful. possibly i need a joystick for this one

Yeah, Shooter 2 is awesome - love the new "hungry" suit!

Pacman DX is awesome as well - I thought using a joystick might make me better, but I eventually got used to using the analogue stick - keep at it!

If you are talking about Hades, the good news is no level in god of war since that was more frustrating. I think David Jaffe even publically apologized for how bad that level was, saying that he didn't get to test it much.

I have nightmares about the spinning platforms with spikes that you would have to jump between.

Best game ever, I actually said Thanks to it in the linear notes of my last album cuz I spent so much time on it inbetween studio sessions.

check out the service called onlive, you can play most modern games with your netbook, assuming you have a decent internet connection.

yeh its barebones, atom processor, 1.6ghz, crap intel gfx. gig of ram. worse than my desktop. but not by enough :(

get yerself a snes emulator and chrono trigger the shit out of it.

dammit i probably sound like a whiner but i have played all the SNES games i like to death and beyond.

plus i am impatient.

you're not making this easy are you?

braid and the misadventures of p.b. winterbottom are both excellent indie 2-d platformers with a twist

(you've seen braid)

zen bound 2 is an excellent indie puzzle game and relaxing as fuck, also only a fiver on steam iirc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aYoex4bW4A

also, world of goo

i'm really not. braid and PB winterbottom won't work (no shader 2.0) and world of goo with a trackpad... bleh.

i think i'll just play doom or something.

jesus, no shader 2.0. and i thought i was enduring a hardship when i couldn't play bioshock with my old no-shader-3.0 gfx card. doom sounds good, you should also check out the quake hack that gives you nice hi-res textures.

yesss quake it is.

as for shader 3.0... i could play bioshock on my 6800, that was only shader 2.0. that died and now i'm stuck with an x850 because i'd rather save for a new computer than keep upgrading this shit pile. but even that's stagnated because fuck it all i do anymore is music and i play everything on ps3 now anyways.

finally went back and played through metal gear solid 4, after buying it like 2 years ago.

things start a little slow, but it grows into the most amazing gaming experience ever. by the end, the story is so impossibly epic, it really stands up to, and perhaps exceeds, some of the best films and anime.

there are so many moments of pure genius. i don't think storyline and gameplay have ever been merged so well.

maybe it was shader 1.0... it was one of those sucky integrated ATI chipsets - not quite as bad as an intel one, and i literally bought the computer with the sole intent of playing portal and HL2. now i have this

by no means top of the range but i fucking adore it.
