    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky

    From my understanding og the reviews of Stalker: Clear Sky the reviewers complain about that the game is getting harder i.e. it is harder than in SoC to get artefacts as you know have to scavenge for them with a geiger-counter. Apparently you can now also run from your enemies? and get a...

    Any other PC games from pre 2000 that would interest me?

    Technically not pre 2000 I still think you might enjoy Baldur's Gate 2 along with its expansion Throne of Bhaal Icewind Dale 1+ 2 and the expansions to Icewind Dale Might and Magic 4-7 (or there abouts) I think you can get these in the Millenium Edition ? I haven't played them but...

    Modified Australian release this year, say retailers

    I think it was that the 'morphine' used in the game actually has the name 'morphine' written on it than the other drugs in the game, i.e. jet, mentats or stimpacks. If all use of drugs are removed in FO3 Australian version, then it destroys the game balance because then the characters can't...

    Gamespot UK plays Fallout 3 (again)

    sorry for the snip, but the quote would be too long... I like K.C.'s idea much better, especially since it sort of mirrors the 1950's setting in which everything was very clearcut and swearwords were not encouraged. And yes, some fathers (and mothers) would actually have a mild heart attack...

    Game reactor interviews Todd Howard

    Since Bethesda pretty much has the rpg sales in their bag, they are focusing on selling this game to the FPS crowd. From a strategic business standpoint, this is what they need to do - to make sure they'd get their money back. We, the hardcore fans, might not like it - even I don't like it. But...

    PC Gameplay Benelux Fallout 3 preview

    It isn't [if it were Oblivion's dialogue you were thinking about]. Last time Beth showed one of their many previews (i think it was the same that brother none saw?) I clearly remember someone mentioning (maybe Jeff Kieron?) that you can lie to NPCs. There will ne dialogue tree in which you...

    PC Gamer interviews Todd & Emil

    This is by far the best interview I have seen so far... Great job, GamesRadar... And thanks to NMA for letting us know about this :) The people in Megaton decide to give you a house. We have no info if it their best house - which just could happen to be a run down shack. Also, rhe butler...

    PC Zone hands-on

    Yes, you could do this in BG2 and in Planescape: Torment, too, I think. Great way of pointing yourself towards the places you've been. I think there were similar features in Icewind Sale 1+2 as well, but I'm not sure about this?

    So... The new KotOR game is MMO

    -ehm- Bioware recently released the final 1.69 patch for Newerwinter Nights (the original) - a game that came out more than 6 years ago.... Now, there is some serious customer, developer, to fans and gamers relationsships right there, wouldn't you say. Bioware has also listened to its pc...

    Polygamia editorializes on Fallout 3

    Based on the previews for Fallout 3 I'd say that this game tries to do the same as Mass Effect did; tell a compelling story, have rpg-element, stats and such + have shooter combat. Of course, you can always use VATS but to me that's just another take on Bioware's Realtime w/pause option in...

    Fallout 3 Good Life Trailer HD and Stills

    To be clear about this: I liked the Good Life trailer a lot. It did capture the essence and the spirit of Fallout, I find. Based and build on the 1950's real (not ironic) thinking about what to do when the bombs hit, it is great :) The combat shown in the trailer not so much. I like...

    Fallout 3 E3 Site found - including new video material

    So far, this website 'prepare for the future' has been the best of it all by far. Somegow, though, that does say much...

    Importing Fallout 3 is legal in Australia... or is it?

    Isn't the whole 'it is illegal to import this game' stuff against the WTO free trade -ehm laws? or treaties?? I'm asking because I don't know, but, to me, it would be against the free trade treaties of the world. As for direct download, my best guess is that it will appear on Direct2Drive.

    Emil clarificates

    @ranne and others :) I agree that the traveling system in Oblivion was horrendous! (or worse than that!) However, the travel system in Fallout 3 does seem similar to that in Baldur's Gate; you need to walk to a location first, or have the location added to your world map. I'm not sure...

    Fallout 3 in PC Gamer US, Emil & Todd on The Escapist

    @ Ranne I agree with you completely and totally. I was just explaining the reasons behind why Todd Howard and Bethesda are thinking the they do. They do think that when you're in first person, you get to be the character, not play as that character. From reading the Bethesda Oblivion...

    Emil clarificates

    From my perspective, this isn't as bad as I feared (it would be). I, for one, can live without being able to kill children - although I respect (some) people's wish that want this to be in the game. Just think of what a certain jack can get out of this - if Bethesda did add child killing to...

    Fallout 3 in PC Gamer US, Emil & Todd on The Escapist

    To me, there seems to be schools when making a game. One is Bethesda's school in which you're the character that does all these things. You need to use your imagination pretending to sneak, steal, or kill someone, be it guards or monsters. I don't know when developers did promise virtual...

    PSM3 Fallout 3 hands-on preview

    Sorry for sniping your post; just to avoid a rather lengthy quote. As I remember the controversy about the sex in Mass Effect, is did start with the 'lesbian sex' talk, then moved to the 'you can have graphic sex with anyone', then..it sort of died down. Then the GTA IV controversy arose in...

    Judge Orders YouTube to Give All User Histories to Viacom

    First, I am not in favor of pirates etc. But I do think that this jduge must have been temporaly insane or something when he made his ruling. I mean, 12 TeraBytes... :shock: Isn't that like 12 GB and then multiplied by like a 100 or a 1000?? Just think of how much time would take to sift...

    PSM3 Fallout 3 hands-on preview

    Is it just me? or does the preview actually say that if you go into VATS, you can shoot say mutants in the head 5 times, using up 5 action points?? Meaning that every shot takes up 1 action point... I can't remember it that clearly, but this wasn't the way, it worked in the previous Fallouts...
