    Monkey Island 2 SE

    I'm a bit surprised that Lucas Arts is once more pushing classic adventure games as part of its offering. I hope they won't stop at Monkey Island and will also remake some of their other classics, like Maniac Mansion and DotT. Maybe even develop some new games in that vein, though I suppose...

    OnLive gets a launch date - June 17th

    Don't get me wrong, I think the concept has definite potential, but not in this incarnation and not until there is fiber-optic cabling to every household. Maybe in five years or so.

    OnLive gets a launch date - June 17th

    Only three launch titles, shitty image quality, inevitable lag and connection issues... I predict epic fail.

    New Ubisoft PC Game DRM Requires Constant Internet - WTF

    This illustrates why games-as-service model won't work for single-player games. Crackers will destroy what they cannot crack.

    New Ubisoft PC Game DRM Requires Constant Internet - WTF

    Weren't we all like that when we were younger, though? I remember when a game like Duke Nukem 3D, Dungeon Keeper and Fallout came out, I wanted to play it so much it was almost painful. I would spend most of my waking moments fantasizing about it and would have been perfectly willing to trade...

    [Arcanum] Amulet of N'Tala

    Actually the current forum system was set up in early 2003 or so. Threads from before that time were originally on an archived forum, but Silencer imported them into the new forum system a couple of years ago. And that concludes today's useless bit of NMA trivia.

    New Ubisoft PC Game DRM Requires Constant Internet - WTF

    Me too. Thankfully, I can't even recall the last time I held an optical disc in my hand.

    New Ubisoft PC Game DRM Requires Constant Internet - WTF

    My main problem with Steam is the fact that it exists. Why the hell does a user need a stand-alone application just to install and play games they legitimately own? Pretty much all "good" features of Steam - game downloads, sales, patching - are possible with an ordinary website. Therefore, its...

    Alright, you've convinced me, I'm buying this game.

    Heavy Rain: What has been Watched can not be Unwatched

    What, the shitty type? Yeah, I can kinda see where those critics are coming from. Indeed, there are a lot of things Heavy Rain isn't. "Good" is one them.

    Abandoned hundred Russian Army tanks found near Ural

    A hundred tanks? That's nothing: http://www.bing.com/maps/Default.aspx?v=2&cp=pbst425rx4nj&scene=40755880&lvl=2&sty=b No, your eyes aren't fooling you. That's BUFFs, Bones, Hornets, Tomcats, Eagles, Warthogs, Intruders, Cobras and just about every aircraft that was ever in service with the...

    Who wants to be a child killer?

    Folks, I think you've just created a new Fallout community meme. And funny one, at that.

    Someone send persian silk my way

    When I saw the thread title, I half-expected Kahgan's post to be a request for Al'Qaeda recruitment information or something like that.

    Heavy Rain: What has been Watched can not be Unwatched

    I'd say MetaCritic score of 88 is pretty impressive for a game that: 1. isn't a shooter 2. isn't part of some massively popular franchise 3. is a piece of shit. In fact, was an (un)interactive movie *ever* this successful? I mean, if you disregard ancient titles like Dragon's Lair...
