Video Game Thread

The company that brought forward Kingdoms of Amular: Reckoning, 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, just shuttered their doors. Guess Curt Schilling isn't so good at running a video game company.

I saw a piece on them on AOTS a few months ago and was seriously wondering how they were going to survive with all the capital needed to produce the game.

Thats what i miss about playing the game on PC, mods. Realistic Stadiums, realistic goalie equipment and mask art.

And if you need NHL 2004 you can get it from here:

Karen Gillian is easily the HOTTEST companion the Doctor has ever had.



Something about Scottish Lasses...

Hell no, the original Romana played by Mary Tamm was way hot (not the ginger haired, Romana II, weirdo that Tom Baker married). Even if you put Gillian as first I don't see how you can say that she "easily" outranks Mary Tamm.

I purchased Minecraft for the XBOX 360. It's fun on XBOX live.

Sorry Dude, I stand by my original statement.

Anyone play the Harley Quinn DLC for Arkham City yet? I just downloaded it last night but haven't had a chance to get to it.

I still don't have my Arkham City back yet from my friend, but tell me how it is.

Don't know if I'll get to it this weekend, but I'll let you know.

I've played maybe 12 hours on Diablo 3. It's War Craft meets Diablo 2. Don't see myself playing it for very long. Will probably opt to download something from GOG. I think I might go with the "Commandos" games. I had alot of fun playing those in the late 90s.

The one snag I've hit is once you get into Hell difficult you just die a lot. I've heard it only gets ungodly worse as the difficulty increased, i.e. practically everything 1 shots you

They've already announced their are some fixes coming for this.

For $20 bucks Dr. Who Eternity clock has been very enjoyable. The chatter between characters has been great, and the storyline is something you'd get right out of an episode. It is still a bit buggy when you have the single player parts that require the computer to be the second player. The second player can get stuck places if you mess up the sequence of what you are trying to do and where you are trying to go, this can be especially confusing because in the side scroller format it becomes difficult sometimes trying to figure out where you are to go next. they have sprinkled in 3-D elements into the side scroller which make it more immersive and dynamic, but it can real confuse the path to where you are supposed to go next, and a lot of time the elements are obstructed by the simple way the camera wields itself. It can be really tedious to spend a bunch of time doing 3 or 4 of the same puzzle time, which is fine, but then to get past them and then die or have your partner die and have to start all over and do the puzzles again. It's not always like this, but I wish once you beat a puzzle in an area it was done for good. I am on medium puzzles right now and would kick it up to hard but it's more about the time they take as opposed to actually being able to complete them.



At the end of the day it's still a buy for any fan, casual or not. If you're not a fan it's still worth checking out especially if it goes discounted. Got some interesting gameplay features.

I played a little bit more and what I have played is pretty fun -- they don't pull any punches, you're thrown in as Robin and expected to remember all the moves (at least as they related to Batman's skill set). He plays a LOT like Batman but has a bullet-shield and baton he predominately uses. Good use of telling an add-on story and I'll be curious to see where it goes.

For you Skyrim peeps:



Go to dawnguardbeta.elderscrolls.com to sign up for the DLC beta test. The beta is the full DLC so if selected, you wont have to buy it. The first DLC for the game and it adds crossbows. More skills and such are rumored, but the crossbow is confirmed.



if you get picked to Beta test, I would like one free beer or at least a heartfelt atta-boy.

Sounds like fun

Sounds like fun

Played more last night - story moves back to Batman pretty quickly... I've probably put a couple hours in and have completed less than a 3rd of the new story. Pretty decent for DLC (or I just suck at gaming).



One thing I've noticed: I think because of Robin's baton, I actually do better in the "challenges" where you take on goons in 3 or 4 waves. He seems to move a little quicker as well. I do miss gadgets like the freeze blast though.

Good to know. I know my wife wants to get Arkham City when she's done with Arkham Asylum. Granted, it will be for the PC.
