Duck and Cover

But that church/temple(?) looks nice though! I'd really have to agree here. I thought the architecture in Arcanum was pretty spectacular (my jaw almost dropped the first time I crossed the bridge to Tarant - all that detail!), and I really haven't seen anything that comes close to the overall struc...

Am I the only one that misses the little hunched up Pipboy in the lower right hand corner? Somehow, this just doesn't cut it.

And I was hoping they'd stick with the Quake 3 models! No you weren't. As someone who's attempted to work with the Quake 3 format (both as a modeller and later programmer) I can tell you it's good for only one thing: Quake 3.

Man, am I the only one that finds the idea of Killzig's paragraph-by-paragraph Usenet-style dissection of the review funny? Maybe next time he should make his critique longer than the original article. Dammit, there isn't even anything left to discuss about it.

I've just beaten Gothic several days ago (lucky me, now I only have to wait three months for the sequel!), and the combat system really impressed me. It really is nothing amazing - a 3d person view beat-em-up, but it's very polished. They've abstracted the combat interface by key combinations (altho...

Just because Van Dam's "martial arts" choreography is actually acceptable, unlike Mortal Combat's and their ilk, which just makes me want to spontaneously launch into uncontrollable projectile vomiting. That, and the game didn't have too many aspects to it that an action movie could disapp...

Considering the situation Interplay is in, it's probably a last ditch effort by both companies. Since the new Macplay probably retained exclusive rights for a Fallout port to the Mac, they're probably going to exercise them now to make some quick dough before Interplay goes under and takes the franc...
