I think you should wear your funny hat more often Entropy- at least people should know what to expect from you. Most of your posts that I've had the privilege of viewing, had little or no humor in them.  ;)

What are you talking about Gemm? It takes almost no time to travel between planets because the game uses a jump gate type of system. Also conventional planet names have not been used. Planets have been named on cities such as Planet Manhattan. I think you haven't actually played the game.

I judge a game based on how well it plays- and my verdict is that it was painfully slow and boring. You can download the demo if you have any doubts about it.

That info was posted by Entropy(check out the second post). He was referring to the first game.

You mean X : beyond the frontier? What are you talking about? I thought that got good reviews and sold well here. It did so well they are planning a MMORPG version i think.

And those screenshots are ugly beyond belief.


Gamespot called X : beyond the frontier "Truckker in space". Their reviewers found it quite boring. The fact that a MMORPG is being made based on the single player version doesn't prove anything. I think they'll iron out the problems that reviewers found with their game before launching it. Games like Starsky and Hutch sell really well, but that doesn't mean that they are any good.
As far as those screenshots are concerned I'd just like to say that we mortals do not have an extra large plasma screen displays at home. So these are as good as you are going to get 'em from most of the websites.

Well, I'm happy to see that I'm being slandered on sites not affiliated with TWG.  Spread the love.

Well I needed a caption for those screenshots.

I think we should have a special Slander House of Mustard Day. Like once a week or something. It wouldn't actually change the way I refer to him, but it would make it official.

We got too many special days already. I read about a spelling day somewhere on this site the other day.

The gameplay is not open ended. But don't let that "Curb your entusiasm" because everything else about the game is just spectacular.

Everybody's a comedian. Flying towards the sun is just one of several different ways employed by the game to amuse the players. The simple ones always fly towards the sun.

Video Games / Finally a Space Sim

Yay jay- Finally a space sim for PC after such a long time. EGOSOFT is developing a space sim in which you fly around in Massive space ships either trading with other factions or fighting it out. I downloaded a non-playable demo of the game and found the graphics to be really delicious(drool X 1000). I just hope that these guys don't mess it up because Egosoft is the same comapny that had developed a similar space sim around three years ago. The game totally bombed off the shelf and got really lousy reviews from everyone. I had played it and found that it's biggest sore point was that it went overboard with the flying around in the space thing. Distances between key trading posts were excruciatingly long and the trading aspect of the game(which by the way was it's key aspect) wasn't properly fleshed out. The present title will hopefully take care of these grouches. From the demo that I have seen, I can honestly say that this game will have some of the biggest space objects in any space sim developed so far. You can take a look at the screen shots here:

Mr. Pleasington, you'd better finish Civ 3 quickly because a sequel is in the offing. Details at:

COD is an awsome game and I mentioned it because I have tried the demo and it's memories are not going to fade away anytime soon. It was a single player demo. I had a couple of squad mates to assist me just like in the original MOH. I stepped out of the bunker and was amazed by the 20 or so bombers flying over my head while the enemy AA guns tried to take them down. As I came out the leader issued the order to move into the village ahead of us. We had barely moved a couple of metres when mortar fires made us scamper for cover while a bomber went down in flames ahead of us. It was night time and the fire from all the weapons looked amazing. The enemy put up a tough fight but we managed to take them out and the AA guins. I enjoyed the demo thoroughly and would suggest people to stop commenting on the game after viewing a couple of screenshots because that's just lame.

Fell- right now I am more excited about Call Of Duty. It's an amazing game. Maybe you should give it a try.

It's really unfortunate that Black Isle studios had to be shut down, but it's ridiculous to think that Interplay would be closing doors anytime soon. Interplay is a quite a big publisher and has a number of developers under it's banner. Personally I respect Inerplay for the high quality games that they have churned out in the past and would not like to see it shut down. I do agree that some of it's decisions over the past few years have been questionable but that does not overshadow the fact that they have published some really good titles.
As far as the future of Fallout series is concerned, I am really not worried. There are some really good developers out there who can do amazing things with the title. Micro Forte is an Australian game development house that had developed the game Fallout Tactics(also published by interplay). I think that if they are given the chance to create a sequel they would certainly come out with a winner. Currently they are working on a multiplayer game using their patented Big World technology and on a couple of X Box games. You can check out their site at:
