  1. To Wii or Not to Wii?

    Agreed.

  2. The Guild Wars 2 Thread

    That's an area in Divinity's Reach called the Great Collapse. It used to be a residential quarter that turned into a giant sinkhole, so the queen put a big bridge over the expanse.

  3. What xbox360 game to get?

    Red Dead Redemption, Costume Quest, and Limbo.

  4. Game News PS: T Available on GoG

    True. I applied a couple of those patches to improve the game's visuals. My point is that to simply buy the game from GOG ensured that it would run on install, even on Win7 64 bit. Fan patches made sure it looked its best. I just like the convenience and insurance of buying an old game through a...

  5. Game News PS: T Available on GoG

    As I understand it, they buy the distribution rights from whatever publisher, studio, or individual currently owns the IP, they put some programming time into writing an installer so the games run on modern hardware, they convert user manuals into convenient PDF files, and toss in some other...

  6. Game News PS: T Available on GoG

    By default the graphics are low res and stretched. It looks pretty ugly on a 1920x1200 screen. I did consult a mod guide that a forum user at GOG.com posted, and it made a big difference. Here's the link: http://af.gog.com/en/forum/planescape_torment/mod_guide/page1?as=1649904300...

  7. Interview Good Old Games Interview

    Indeed.

  8. Game News Two Worlds II Delayed Until January in North America

    I didn't see a PC version on the demo floor. The game's producer was showing off the 360 version which looked and played decent, though all I saw was combat. There was very little character interaction during the session, as it was mostly about crafting spells and equipping different weapon...

  9. Game News Two Worlds II Delayed Until January in North America

    Played the demo at PAX a few weeks ago. It's improved over the original from what I can tell, but it could certainly use some polish time.

  10. Game News PS: T Available on GoG

    It doesn't come with a high-res patch applied as far as I can tell. Not sure if you can add that after the fact but I might look into it. If I find anything I'll post it here. I just bought it this morning and installed it on my Win7 64-bit laptop. It ran without a hitch and didn't require...

  11. Riddick - Dark Athena

    Escape from Butcher Bay was pretty solid. The Dark Athena demo wasn't bad. You control a few drones and kill a bunch of dudes on a dark ship. Voice acting was pretty decent. I think I heard Lance Henriksen in one of the scenes.

  12. So I Might Buy Mass Effect...

    Actually, it's the truth. Lots of lore is unlocked in the Codex via these optional conversations. It's not obvious which conversations are required and which are optional, so the player will usually engage in dialogue with whatever NPC he encounters. http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Vigil...

  13. Bethesda Pulls 'The Pitt' DLC From Xbox Live Marketplace

    Is Bring Down the Sky any good? I just finished the ME main story and was considering picking up the DLC.

  14. So I Might Buy Mass Effect...

    All the side quests are front-loaded (just like KotOR), so once you leave the Citadel the game feels pretty bare. Combat is passable and some of the biotic powers are a kick in the pants. You could do a lot worse for 20 bucks. A single play through will take you 30 hours or so if you complete...

  15. Fallout 3 - Codex Opinions Thread

    Me, too. It takes a couple of clips from the .10 mm pistol to put one down. I tried beating one to death with a bat and got stung to within an inch of my character's life. Bottlecap mines, on the other hand, take it out instantly.
