Re: OT-Some New games
Whatever MM is working on next...
but other than that, I want SimCity 4. The Sims Online sounds neat, but I have never paid for Online games, and I really do not care to. I may at some time (when I have a job maybe!)

Re: OT-Some New games
Some news for you "game addicted". 
X-Mas is coming so I have some suggestions.....today let's talk about 2 great games: "A.R.S.E.N.A.L. Extended Power" and "Simgangster Street Edition".
I've played wargames for 20 years and I can assure you that ARSENAL Extended Power is one of the best.
ARSENAL is a classic RTS game but it's different from others....think that I'm not a RTS fan (I'm tired of Command and Conquer clones) but I've been completely hooked by this little game gem.
The A.I. is truely impressive: on the advanced stages is a real nightmare.
Every few days you can download a bunch of add-ons so the game will surprise you everytime you'll play it.
ARSENAL is really a G R E A T game: it worths every single buck! Two thumbs up, way up. Here's the site for ARSENAL: http://www.tacticalsoft.com/
"Simgangster" is a pretty simulation of crime life: you are a criminal and you have to survive in a U.S. city.
There are different cities (with different settings) so the game will hook you everytime.
Pretty graphics and cool gameplay makes "Simgangster" a winner, give it a try at http://www.simgangster.com !

Re: OT-Some New games
Did not read the entire thread, so EEEXCUUUSEE MEEEE if I am repeating, but has anyone seen Hegemonia from the makers of Imperium Galactica? It looks so cool to me that I went out and got it. I will install and play this weekend and post here my thoughts. Here --> is the link.

Re: OT-Some New games
I'm looking forward to SimCity 4. I think it's going to be a good game from the stuff I've seen and read. Too bad that I'll need a faster processor...but maybe Santa will be nice to me this year.

Re: OT-Some New games
I looked at that "EVE: The Second Genesis" game... some very interesting points in their storyline... such as:
Quote:
|
...scientists predicted that EVE would close in a few decades. So men and equipment were ferried to the other side, setting up bases in the system the wormhole opened up in. The system was soon christened New Eden. The two gates at either side, called the gates of EVE, had to be exceedingly huge, because of the unstable nature of EVE and the unknown distance between them. They were the largest single structures ever made by mankind and the building time was more than 200 years...
|
WOW! not only do they have warp engines, but they can do a neato temporal warp trick so they can take 200 years to build something to utilize something that will not exist in a few decades!
(edit) - Hmm, it seems I got caught up in that little ambiguity, and forgot to say what I thought of the concept. Definitely looks cool, and I definitely will not be playing it. I have no interest in flunking college, especially with the amount I'm paying to go. I will probably be keeping my copy of SEIV at home when I bring a computer here, too.

Re: OT-Some New games
This isn't a computer game but it's one I am looking forward to. It's Final Fantasy X-2... Yup, X-2, it's the first ever TRUE sequel to a game in the FF history. It's supposed to pick up two years after X left off. I'm currently playing through FFX again. It's such a great game.
But for computer games I'm looking forward to that Eve game. It looks awesome.

I did indeed, it has all the eye candy you would expect from the screenshots and trailers viewable on their website. The story line seems to be OK, if not slightly linear. I have only successfully played 2 missions, so it is still a little early for a complete review.
