Broken Steel: good so far, but poor mod support. I've got two versions of the EXE backed up and I've had to switch to the 1.5 to pass certain spots, switching back immediately to the old exe so I can use all my mods. Otherwise I like it, althought I "finished" the game with my non combat...

I cannot recomend Capoeira enough, it is incredibly fun, the training is tough and you will find yourself doing stunts that you never thought you would. It's not much use in a fight, but honestly I'm not the type of guy who fantasizes about getting in fights anyways. I also took Kempo, it is...

I hope they dont canibalize Van Burren too much, shoehorning ideas can sometimes mess things up and it is good to leave those things to be revisited with full attention.

My advice is get it for the mods, it is the easiest to customize post apocalypse experience you can get, and a really good game in my opinion. But yeah, one mod will turn it into a scavenger hunt for survival, your character constantly hungry, tired and low on ammo. Another mod will have...

I'm not about to judge a game by it's title and Thief did some great stuff with stealth gaming that nobody has entirely picked up on. I'm looking forward to this...

There is a game called Evil Genius where you build a lair, recruit henchmen and battle James Bond inspired secret agents. I highly recomend it.

Yeah, I hate internet sites that dedicate themselves to these lists because they are one of the most transparent efforts to garner hits. These lists are always flawed which means people will get annoyed and either link to the site or e-mail the link around. Also people will join to comment...

Being a little reductive: OA: Fallout 3 reconfigured as a fast paced shooter (with health and ammo replentishing dispensers). Not bad at all but hardly essential unless you want a quick action fix rewarded with the tools to be an uber sniper (gauss gun and stealth suit). The PITT: overall...

Any idea if it will come out for PC? I've been following it for a while and it looks like it will hit that "good hulk game" craving with some ultra violence added for good measure.

Only I'm not being a bethesda apologist (don’t cry wolf Ratty, I'm know they are out there but their existence does not end every discussion) so much as I'm saying that the analogy that the original fallouts are “a book” while fallout 3 is “a movie” is pretty deeply flawed since all 3 games are...

I'm having a hard time putting together a quick response to this since the subject really excites me but I think deep plots and interactivity are not mutually exclusive so long as the duration is kept realistic.... For me what makes a game into a game is the interactivity, while other people...

Yeah, they must hate Bethesda for reviving interest in one of the few things Interplay that can provide interplay with income these days.

Broken Steel for PC (via re-download) and I'm also playing a lot of skirmish matches of Company of Heroes, what I consider one of the best RTS games ever made.

Yup, althought I love what people have done with Source so far. Did you ever play Stranglehold? It was pretty much universally reviled but I actually enjoyed it as a translation of John Woo movies into a game and they did great things with the Quake 3 engine, such as generate faces randomly to...

I swear a 4 person mod team could have built it by now. Thanks for the Radar link, while I disliked Doom 3 I really loved Prey and it makes me happy to see a Prey 2 being worked on. I did not expect much from Duke Nukem Forever but I would have loved to play it for an hour or two just out of...

Well I'm replaying 2 right now and I have run into several characters who’s only point is to throw some awful Italian accents into text and have your character mock their accents via dialog options. That is before even getting to New Reno, which has me wondering who those Asian characters in San...

Yeah, but in all honesty the original fallouts are one of those crappy books with a dragon or starship on the cover at best, one of those garish things I would not be caught dead reading in the subway. The first two games are better than FO3, but they are swimming in clumsy racial stereotypes...

New origins in the FO3 timeline. I want to see you start as a different person in a different place, and be able to travel to the Capital Wasteland which has been modded to be left in the state of a good character who has finished Broken Steel... My choice would be Boston and I intend to do...

If that is true my mind is blown, because I'm playing what they put up for download. Basically if you went to your history and tried again you could download it and get it to work. A bunch of people are playing through on PC right now. I dont know if the version I'm playing has a problem or...

My impressions so far: the general area between Megaton and Rivet City is a lot more populated now, mostly by water merchants and water bandits. They changed the look of a lot of places and I kind of like that, it is nice to see things are different after traveling the same roads so many times...
