Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi looks interesting. I should be able to pick that up when I get back from Thanksgiving.

I also picked up mirror's edge, and it's sweet. I call it "What the sequel to Assassin's Creed should be."

I preordered Mirror's Edge for the PC (hopefully my "new-old" desktop will be finished by then). It looks awesome.

The Ghostbusters video game has been delayed yet again, but at least there's a publisher now. Another one I can't wait for (please let there be multiplayer options, and fix the physics kthx).

I need to play Fable II more.

*bzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ* CLEAR!! *ZAP!!*

...Whew. It's not QUITE dead yet!

I rented Deadly Creatures for the Wii and F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin for the 360 over the weekend and...well sadly, beat both of them over the weekend. Yeah, they're both pretty short, but also pretty awesome. If you liked the original F.E.A.R. or any of Monolith's games for that matter, you'll have to check out Origin. As far as Deadly Creatures goes, it's a mixed bag, but overall it's a good game and definitely worth at least a rental.

I can't wait for Friday, Dawn of War 2 is coming out Tyranids, hell yeah.

DoW2? FRIDAY!!!

I gotta stop using rocks as shelters!

[Dreamstalker]

Welp, I never got Mirror's Edge due to it being infected with SecuRom. I had fun times trying to purge that from a friend's computer after he installed Spore and discovered it causing all sorts of issues....not going through that again kthx. I did find the cracked game on BT so we'll see how that goes.

I do need to build a new rig for the Ghostbusters game...unfortunately I think the only parts I will be able to use from my existing build is the case, HDD and maybe one of the optical drives.

Anyone need/want an X850XT and motherboard?

DoW2? FRIDAY!!!

Well According to Game.co.uk anyway so it may be only the UK release, anyway I'm looking forward to it, what little of the beta i played, when it worked was awesome, though the nids are a pain in the big blue butt (Yes, I play as Ultramarines when I can)

Way different to the original too, almost RP-like elements to it.

I'm somewhat sick of the Blood Ravens though

"Waagh we don't know who the hell we are or who we came from" and the fact that a Company Captain is so willing to work with the Eldar. Angelos also seems to be a little bit too Exterminatus happy.

[Nurian]

Actually, since I'm in the States, it doesn't come out on Friday.....





It comes out tomorrow!!

My friend and I said we're each going to get a copy....so I can show him just what the Emperor's Chosen thinks of a bunch of jumped up cockroaches

[RayvenQ]

Oh trust me, the 'nids are bloody difficult to get rid of if they have a hold on ground. I'm not too sure what to make of the new squads system, but it does stick a bit more to fluff as far as the Marines are concerned, since while Marines themselves are somewhat expendable, their precious wargear is not.

I'm looking forward to kicking my friends arse at it, I need to get him back for the time he used TWO bloody necron monoliths on me!

Also, I like Angels of Death rather than Emperors chosen, it has much more of a nice ring to it.

I'm also looking forward to playing Orks, as I started getting fond of them, I wonder if you have the option to paint stuff red.

Just got DoW II and it's already pissing me off. Apparently, I have to use my Steam account and my Live ID. I've been messing with this for an hour and I'm NOW getting into the game. hopefully it's worth it.

[RayvenQ]

The Campaign is bloody awesome, though to me the main gripe is lack of being able to have custom badges, that just kills MP for me.

I hae easily played 6 hours of gameplay with it only seeming like minutes.

Also, Thanks to some insight of the mod community, I'm playing with Ultramarine colours in the campaign

You don't NEED to use your live account for it. Just create an offline one in game and you're set. You should only need the steam account for the steam version, which is expected.

[Nurian]

Well, I want the achievements on my main ID
Game's fine, but I generally like a little more RTS in my...well....RTS. Still fun, though.

[RayvenQ]

By that I take it you mean base building and resource gathering?

[Nurian]

Yeah. I consider it a necessary evil. It makes the final victory that much more...satisfying.
