Duck and Cover

I recall some discussion of these games some time back and this weekend I saw them in stores for thirty bucks. So did I waste my money or are these actually good?



P.S. I just now notice one is DVDRom. That means I have to make that piece of shit work.

P.S. You guys suck ass at response time.

I have yet to play them. Though I probably prefer X-Com.

Now you can berate relevance, too !

Lambast relevancy? Surelly, Blargh, you are the last unsilenced voice of reason, in this heap of corpse dé anim!

If you spent $30 each then you did waste your money and should return them if possible. $30 for the pair is more up in the air. I'm playing Aftershock off and on right now and it's OK, but there are a lot of small annoyances. First off, it has Starforce so you need to use a crack. Then there's the RTwP combat instead of turn-based. It won't run in full screen on my Nvidia or ATI cards so I have to disable fullscreen through a command line addition to the shortcut. Some of the missions are frustrating, especially when I have to kill a certain number of aliens and the last one keeps running around and around avoiding my team.

Thirty for the pair. No tax. So technically $29.99.

Baby arm, that was our dear friend, Fred, whom you so thoroughly eviscerated. Nicely done. And yet, even in this moment of excellence, disappointment looms. Ehue.

I've been playing Aftermath a bit and it's... buggy. I installed, played a bit, patched, and now I'm playing again and I've had two crazy graphical issues in the middle of a fight that then caused a crash.
