Scrivener Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 I really need to stay off the internet... but that would be like living without sleep -- after three days I'd start halucinating and all kinds of wild stuff. But the more I surf, the longer my list of Must-Get-Games grows... and so my bank account never tops $300. Here's some PC games on my must watch list (BTW, I forgot to mention Drakan 2 as a must-get X-Box title):1) Battlecruiser Millenium (Duh!) *Need I explain? 2) MS Flight Simulator 2002 Professional *The Vegas Tour video on the MSFS website sold me on this one. The graphics are simply SPECTACULAR. And I have fond memories of MS Space Simulator (Remember that one?) as well as MSFS 95. 3) TES: Morrowind *After Arena, I took a vow to buy everything Elder Scrolls. I have yet to be dissapointed. 4) Call of Chtulhu *OMG, it's the game that actually uses THE formula. The one and same formula that I and my friends would jsut lounge around and discuss... the formula for the PERFECT Horror Game. I submitted a preview to EB Games a few days ago, but they butchered the game's title pretty badly. It was something like "Call of Catluhulu." 5) Civilization 3 *Civ III has been a long time coming, and finally its almost here (It went Gold just days ago). With Sid Meier behind it, its a sure-fire hit. 6) AquaNox *I have always had a fetish for underwater themed games. BUT, in all of gamings history there are maybe a handful. I was a huge fan of Archimedan Dynasty back in the day, and Aquanox being the sequel, it could be the best thing since Sub Culture. 7) Dark Age of Camelot *Ok, this sounds really cool... BUT, I have some qualms. First, I'm a Scopic/Bardic man through and through. Not much for fighting, but rather making merry and following about various bands of adventurers whilst singing and herolding their bravery and valour. Now I know there are bards, but what worries me is their "Travelling Song". I DO remember SoW from EQ... and I'm worried about every other person playing my favorite pacivistic class because of it. BTW, did I mention that there are SIEGE WEAPONS!!! But i also remember the day I spent playing the beta, I was VERY unimpressed. But Betas change, what is everyone elses thoughts on this game? 8) Soldier of Fortune 2 *GHOUL2, nuff said.Hmm, thats pretty much it for the moment.

Fendi Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 I would also like to recommend Bridge Commander. It's not a game about managing bridges. It's a Star Trek game where you take command of Dreadnaughts or Galaxy Class starships. It's not like Klingon Academy in a sense where you do not pilot the ship. You just give out orders like in the series.Oh and I'm not a trekkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Põdi Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Medal of Honour looks a must to me. Bridge Commander maybe Freelancer *ducks* Anyone tried Commandos 2? Any good? I tried the first, but a) it was in French and too complicated. Deus Ex 2, loved the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrivener Posted October 11, 2001 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 quote: It's Cthulhu. Now try to pronounce it correctly. D'oh!As for games, I forgot to mention: 0) Disciples 2 0) Galactic Command Online 0) Lost Souls 0) Longest Journey 2 (It has to happen eventually) 0) Team Fortress 2 0) NEVERWINTER NIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!! 0) Myth 3: The Wolf Age ------------------------------------------- As for games that are currently available, between OpFlashpoint fixes, I've been playing Arcanum. If you loved any of the Fallout games, Arcanum was made for you. Oy, the way the game shapes around your character is unprecidented. BG2 dosn't even come close to this level of fine detail (And the ToB expansion was really just KILL-KILL-KILL). I think next time I'm at a lack for games, I'll retry Ultima 9 and Echelon.

Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 The games I'm waiting forBCM Pool of Radiance Aquanox Disciples 2 Civilisation 3 Master of Orion 3 The new Star Wars CRPg from Bioware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmett.hendrick Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 BCM is the only game I'm really waiting on but I am watching out for AvP 2 aswell really enjoyed the original and the shots of the new version look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Hmmm, Morrowind looks excellent. As an avid Elder Scrolls fan, I'll have to look into it. The problem is dividing my time beteen BCM, Morrowind, and the ever-present schoolwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Now I have a new system, BCM is no longer a dream.Other Games are, Arcanum and I-War 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
