Re: What game are you playing now?

I remember when I first say the trailer on TV for GTA 3 I was blown away and I thought, theres no way this is actual gameplay Yes, lots of people had a similar reaction. People who played some GTA1 and GTA2 were amazed that a 3D world of comparable size could exist in a video game. The trilogy (3, …

I finished The Simpsons hit and run , and started a GTA 3 playthrough. I have never finished GTA 3. I did finish Vice City though way back. Good luck. When the games were new, I recall starting GTA3, bailing out in the middle, switching to Vice City, finishing it, then coming back and finishing …

Re: Big Box PC Games – Show and Tell

So - am I understanding this correctly - there was a limited number of boxed copies, each with a floppy, and a combination of all floppies is required to unveil some information about the game? That's neat. I wonder if there is a way to reconstruct it now. On eBay I see some boxed copies offered …

Beat Deus Ex for the first time. Extremely impressive, cannot believe I've never played it before. Deus Ex is indeed a masterpiece, and has stood the test of time quite well. The graphics may be outdated, and they weren't so great even back then, but pretty much everything else in that game is …

According to your blog, part 2 (shadow and flame) is your favourite. I aggree that it may be the overall best part of the series (despite the difficulty). I think what made it special for me is that I was playing it at the same time that I was learning to play games in general. I learned POP1 from …

I don't have many big box PC games, as I got the physical collecting bug pretty late, after most new releases went either to DVD keep case or full digital, and completed big boxes have gotten expensive on the second-hand market. I survey most of those I have on my website, but I feel they are not …
