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 …

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 …

My son is bugging me to learn VR development in Unity so that he can create a game. I watched a couple of Youtube videos that walk you through setting up basic things, but I don't feel they are sufficient to build a foundation of meaningful knowledge on the subject.

I've looked that up and it seems the current version requires Windows Vista or newer. This means that you won't have native EAX support. While not exactly earth shattering, the EAX implementation of Deus Ex provides improved positional audio (works great on 5.1 speakers) which helps if you're using …

If you want to play it on a retro system, makes sure that your CPU is at least 1 GHz or faster. Some of the larger maps need a lot of processing power to run smoothly. The first level of the game (Liberty Island) is a good example of this. Thanks for the tip. It will most likely be at least a …

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 The graphics may be outdated, and they weren't so great even back then, but pretty much everything else in that game is …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 …
