I thought it was very good, but also very short. I beat it on the second hardest difficulty in just a shade under 6 hours. It's a lot less stealth oriented than the past games, but I'd still recommend it especially with it being so cheap.

Yeah, I had a lot of fun with it, and still put it in and play some random missions for fun now and then.
Yes, please, and thank you.

Do you lament the lack of games like X-Wing or Freespace in modern games? Do you wish that you could pilot a starship in epic space battles a la the Battlestar: Galactica television remake? Developer Seamless Entertainment hopes so, because its new game aims to take advantage of that very market. SOL: Exodus takes us back into space, puts us in the cockpit, and is the first step in what the team hopes will be the return of a genre.

When I was much younger I played the shit out of the Wing Commander series, Privateer after that and then Star Lancer.Originally Posted by JeffHCross
I loved the Privateer series where you started with a ship and from there decided if you wanted to be a cargo runner, pirate, hired gun or really whatever. Then you could upgrade your ship, buy new ships, take missions of all kinds. Spent a lot of hours on those games.
I played WC IV a ton on my PS1, but I really played a lot of X-Wing Alliance on the PC. I was a little behind the times, and didn't get into them when X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and XvT were all the rage, but I definitely enjoyed the ones I could play. I'm very hopeful that the genre receives a little life.

Man, I never liked those games. Maybe if they do the stuff right (and have some type of radar system that actually make sense). Otherwise, I'm blindly swinging around, hoping to god I find the fuckin' ship blowing me to fuckin' hell in time.
Always worked fine for me

Your avatar creeps me the fuck out.
He should do an edit to give him red eyes. That would make it super creepy.
Yeah, that would be worse. It might actually get me to lose sleep.

Well-written piece on IGN about the fine line between a "current events" game and exploitation of the events.
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/119/1191529p1.htmlWhen we look closely at a game like Medal of Honor, we see a game torn in half by two opposing imperatives: the desire to do some justice to the sacrifices of Marines in combat, and the need to offer an engaging game. In order for something like Medal of Honor to be considered a game (much less a commercially viable one) by modern standards, it has to provide a certain amount of mindless fun; unless you let players kill enemies like the Taliban by the hundreds, you probably don't have much of a game. But if you do let the player slaughter thousands without batting an eyelash, without ever making him think about the consequences of war, then you're offering an irresponsible—even offensive—fantasy-world version of a real conflict. This is a problem, on some level, in virtually all violent games. Even Nathan Drake, as likable a hero as they come, is by any reasonable definition a mass murderer. (And an glib one at that—a guy who says "That's gotta hurt" after shooting someone in the face.) It's only when these games depict actual situations that they veer into an ethical danger zone by trivializing real suffering.

Playing Nier. Rented it off Gamefly. I just now read its from the maker of Drankengard.....which I did not like. Oh well....maybe it'll surprise me by sucking more then reviews say or not being all that bad. heh.
Dumb Questions I preordered Gears 3 through Amazon, do I seriously have to pay for shipping and handling? I thought that shit was free on pre-orders, and I also thought I get it the same day it comes out?
It's free on Super Saver shipping which is a 5-8 day delievery time. You have the option to choose Release Day Delivery, which is $1.
Thanks, I figured out actually not to long after I asked the question. Still worth it for the 20.00 credit. I might get a couple of other games through them just to rationalize my excessive game buying this holiday season.
