Finished Mask of the Betrayer as a level 30 wizard (yes, I'm too lazy to conjure up anything more elaborate than that!) yesterday, and found it overall much more enjoyable than the original - better cast, better story, and overall just more fun. The new gameplay mechanic was annoying at first...

Sure, and I could also order a game from an online retailer and have the game delivered over night. The only point for me as a consumer that would make digital distribution a relevant alternative would be for the (potentially) near instant delivery. Of course, if it turned out to lead to a...

I'm not quite sure I share the optimism with some of you for how our internet connections will develop in the near future. I had a 100/100 Mbit connection five years ago, and as far as I know that's still the fastest connection that you can get your hands on as a consumer in Sweden (not counting...

Hehe, yeah, with how weak the dollar is nowadays I'd save roughly 1/3 compared to what it'll retail for whenever it gets released over here, and it would also be around the same price as the premium Xbox 360. Unfortunately I just spent a smaller fortune on a new computer that I don't really...

Alien Trilogy on the PS1 ruled! And to keep it that way, I have absolutely no intentions whatsoever to dig up any screenshots of how horrible it most likely looked. :smile:

You can indeed turn off the voices, which was the first thing I did after the introduction of Cliff.

I disagree completely. In fact, I'd say it's one of the most entertaining Jrpgs I've played. I thought most of the examples you mentioned were obvious attempts at humour rather than attempts at creating epic plot twists. Obviously, as an epic and serious story it's an undisputable failure, but...

The story isn't that bad for the majority of the game, it just turns slightly absurd towards the end (though I guess that could describe most jrpgs, hehe). It's more of a LOL-moment rather than anything that will make you throw your controller away in disgust. Besides, some of the best parts of...

The soundtrack is almost as awesome as the voice-acting is horrendous, which is quite the feat to say the least. The OST ranks among my favourite game soundtracks along with the Silent Hill series. I'm also mighty tempted to spoil the story for you since some of the later developments is at the...

AFAIK Versus was all CG back during E3 (haven't watched it yet), so no.

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Prowler

Err, while you might find it sad, it's not exactly like the console forum - where most of your posts are located - is known to be a bastion of intellectual discussion. Some of us seemingly just prefer to discuss politics during the slow parts of the graphics cycle rather than engaging in the...

Yes, and it's delicious! You can listen to one of the new songs on their myspace, though that one isn't really particularly representative of the rest of the album. The song on Myspace is a bit more accessible and rock-ish (although still really good) while the album is mostly sort of in the...
