    GTA: San Andreas

    Shard I hear you about the "whining". I think however, the developers tried to make CJ likeable. giving him a reason hes doing illegal stuff. As for losing muscle, you do if you run alot and stamina goes up. And Im not sure how far you are , but after you get deeper into the missions (and I...

    Gene Wolfe's The Wizard

    Hmm hard to say without going into it too much story wise. Mr Wolfe does a great job of taking familiar mythic elements and changing them slightly. And the POV of the storyteller is well done I think-its not entirley original but entertaining. Great characters. Its very much a "traditional"...

    Guild Wars MMORPG free demo Oct 29th - 31st

    So evidently GW started today. Been playing myself. Lotsa Diabloish fun. However it seems the games a little laggy. But it looks great. They seemed to have fixed the camera and added some animations. I need a new processor though to go with my new video card. Mobo too. But even with my mid (...

    GTA: San Andreas

    Well I have it. My answers arent in any way official obviously but: 1. Just started so not sure. There supposed to be 3 distinct cities- a faux LA, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. In addition the terrain between the cities exists too so you drive from city to city and visit small towns in...

    Gene Wolfe's The Wizard

    So according to amazon.com The Wizard, book 2 of Gene Wolfe's "duology" is out. My order shipped today. I was surprised since I thought it was to be released in November. Anyone seen it on bookshelves? I am anxiously awaiting the book-I loved The Knight. But then again has it been a year? Where...

    Fable? Not so good.

    LOL I read that over the weekend too. Im sure its being held up for the next gen of consoles Xbox 2 or whatever. Im sure well see alot of games deep in development go this route. But after being slightly fooled by PM Im still cavaet emptor on Lionhead.

    Fable? Not so good.

    I have to agree. Molyneaux has gotten me twice now on overhype. Its my own fault. Fable doesnt suck but its bells and whistles dont achieve what I think it intends. And on top of all that it short! Ive learned my lesson. On PMs next game B.C. , Im waiting.

    Enterprise 10-22-04

    This was the first ST Enterprise ep Ive watched in a season and a half. Im actually giving the Cotto reboot a chance. I expected a character driven ep, and I have to say I liked it. It did remind me faintly of the TNG episode "Family" (...

    Changes to the Avengers

    I really dont read comics anymore. What with the instability of the industry and the total lack of regard for what was once canon I just dont keep up. But in the old days I was a big Avengers fanboy.But now nothing seems to make sense. This from USA Today: Comic books Marvel's 'New Avengers'...

    A-team: are they planning on doing an updated version?

    Please please no. This fascination with the TV shows of the 70s and 80s in movies is to me sad. It wasnt that good then, and theres no need to rehash it. IMHO of course.

    I *heart* Paper Mario 2

    So in my search for gaming bliss I recently got X men Legends. I was sort of frustrated with the single player experience and the stupid AI of your teamates, so I traded it. Except for Rome Total War I ve had bad recent mojo with games. Im still bitter over the crappy netcode and stupid...

    Planescape Torment help, please!!!

    I cant help you with any of your questions, but let me just say kudos for having the game. It is now impossible to find thanks to Interplay going belly up and the used price on ebay is outrageous. Kudos! Kudos I say! Never part with your treasure. All I got :)

    Enlighten me.

    Back when Halo was launched , the fact that it was set in large outside areas and the fact you could use vehicles was a big selling point. It does have a good storyline and ok AI, but those two facts were a bit of a leap over what shooters were doing. And since it was on a console assurred it...

    Rome: Total War

    Thanks I found the non-mod .txt file that unlocks the other official factions. I love their opening movies. And no annoying Senate to get in my way!

    DVDs for PC gaming (Or holy crap...PC games are getting big!)

    But I think its sort of a chicken and the egg thing, a situation similar to the introduction of color tv or now HDTV. Its a good thing, but the industry isnt adapting to it because the user base is small. The user base is small because theres no overwhelming advantage (apart from eliminating...
