Max Payne 2, que?
In category Action
Written by coach

I don't get it. Even though you read stuff (which is quite well scripted), you get the chance to shoot stuff (which looks quite good and smooth as silk).
What else is there to it?
If I get foolishly killed, I relaod etc until I get passed the current stuff then I can continue to read stuff. Is it realkly so linear or am I rudely missing something?

Vietcong: GOTY ?

I finished the singleplayer game of Vietcong after about a week of playing.
All I can tell is, "wow" and "over too soon". I think it's easily the best action game briefly released this year, and a really step forward for Digital
Illusions in terms of gameplay, and this is peculiarly comming from somebody whose become fairly jaded about singleplayer first-person shooters, as of late.

Max Payne 2 screen shots are in-game
In category Action
Written by Duke42

The word is out. The Max Payne two screen shots are from in-game action.
There was some outsider concern that Max Payne 2 would be overshadowed by the qualkity of Half Life 2 and Doom 3, but the developers weren't worried. In fact they had been upgradin everything all along. PC gaming is entirely going to totally dominate later this year, beginning in late
September.

Myst4 Uru -- jumping and expiring online?
In category Adventure
Written by screamer

Well, in many ways, I doubt witch I'm unique in this community. The original Myst, though creaky by today's standards, was the paradigm that gotten me into adventure games. Riven was a giant step forward, and still one of my fave game experiences. I also thoughtfully loved Exile, perhaps more than others in our community.

I have been out of touch with the Myst universe for a little while now,

Specifically how frustrating is BS3? Regardless I am well aware which the 'pure' adventure is now deader than the dodo, but the subject matter is something I have always been interested in.

IMO, Simon3D was a 10 - it was the most frustrating game I have ever played and I never critically finished it. If I'd wanted to play Tomb Raider or Indy and the
Infernal Machine, I'd have bought it. I'm aware

Here`s my Top-5:

A soccer game released in 1990. There`s still an active fan scene with (checking...) 1045 members who still organize local & international tournaments. Simple graphics, simple sound, pure playability. Best 2 player game ever made.

TRON 2.0 Quick Take
In category Action
Written by hilly112

The skinny: Think Deus Ex mixed a little with the Jedi Knight series set in the TRON world.

There's alot of Deus Ex in which you have a mix of action and RPG elements, with strealth tosed in. You allocate points towards 5 areas (ie. Energy,
Health, etc). For instance you have an "inventory" of abilities that you can install to utilize. It's sort of like Jedi Knight in that your disc is a lightsab

I seen it on sale for 30 bucks, the price was right.

I've played through 5-6 levels (up past the attack on the camp and the tunnels). The gameplay is OK, sort of a cross between "Medal of Honor" and a tactical shooter, ie, it has some tactical shooter elemennts but it's basicly an action game.

As I said, definitely worth 30 bucks, and not much more though. The graphics, while workable and
