Have been playing Lord of The Rings Online: The Shadow of Angmar, the last couple of weeks. I have played quite a few MMO's and I am really loving this one. Tons of fun. Perhaps too fun. I have logged over 4 days of actual play time so far.

I've heard about this, but I haven't gotten around to playing it.

I do believe spore has pushed back to 2008 or even 2009 now

Damnit!

Bioshock is the spiritual sequel of SystemShock 2 RiA, though this one's story is happening in the past.

 

[Guthrum]

Bioshock is going to be great.

Any reason why Spore got pushed back, or just the usual?

after countless times pressing space, c, e, d, s, f, and tab I have finally finished oblivion (well except the thief guild and the dark brotherhood quests but I can't be bothered) and I'm out of games to play again, SUCKS.

I'm still really looking forward to Portal, the game that will come with Half-Life 2 Episode 2.

that game was so damn buggy and not very entertaining at all after a while

Morrowind with the Oblivion engine would have been the shit! (if they worked their asses off on smoothing out the gameplay)

Haven't played much of morrowind, bought it for my stepfather but never got the hang of it myself (fukkin xbox controls), but I guess if it's better than oblivion it might be THE game for next week!

 

[Demilich]

I'm talking PC versions in both cases. For all I know, the 360 version of Oblivion (or whatever console its on) could be a lot more refined than the PC version.

I had a lot of fun with it, don't get me wrong, but it was lacking.

Morrowind is great! Still a beautiful looking game considering it's a bit dated. I've played through it a couple of times.

The whole deal with the enemies leveling up with your character pissed me off so much.

That is the lamest idea EVAR!

It's necessary to keep the game as non-linear as it is; you still get the advantage of skill and stat boosts and better equipment, so it does get easier to mash rats and the like anyway.

Agreed.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I found the game too easy because of that. Although the story and game play were fun, if it weren't to easy to kill all the people I probably would have played it longer. I did put in some 70 hrs though.

i gave all my PS2 games to my cousin's kids after my PS2 crashed.

the wife is getting me a new console for Xmas/birthday this december. what console is currently the best? I hear tons of praise for Xbox360 and Halo. Is that the way to go?

Im totally out of the loop on these things.

 

[Evil?]

Halo=Most overrated game franchise in history.

That being said. The 360 has some pretty cool games and there are alot of games that look interesting slated for release in the future.

 

[Tranquillian]

[dorian gray]

Video games and the consoles on which they are played are ridiculously expensive. I dont know how you guys can afford this shit, and I'm making $80,000 a year.
