awesome revamp Just got SimCity4. Didn't have much time to mess around with it yesterday. I'm sure I'll be playing it for a few hours today. But the little scenes they showed during the install looked amazing enough to get me all psyched up. posted by Sarius --- posted on Jan 29, 2003 at 7:49am est --- post #000025 ---

Y'all-Y'aaaaaaaaallllll I got ahold of Trailer Park Tycoon the other day... It's sorta funny, and the graphics are actually very clean and crisp, with lots of vibrant colors and stuff, but it just doesn't seem to hold my attention for more than 20 minutes or so. posted by Chainsaw --- posted on Jan 28, 2003 at 5:08pm est --- post #000024 ---

Choo-Choooooooo!!! Just bought Railroad Tycoon 2: Platinum Edition. Saw it at CompUSA for $10 and I have a $50 gift card from x-mas, so i decided to get it since i playedit waaaayyy back when it first came out. Still as enjoyable as i remember, but better now that i have a better computer. =) Already whipped through the first 3 parts to the main campaign and still enjoyable. posted by Sarius --- posted on Jan 28, 2003 at 2:19pm est --- post #000023 ---

Lazy-man's Golf Yep. I usually birdie every single hole of mine since all my skills are about 70 or above and I've practiced them enough to know the good spot to hit a ball. Having an 80% high pitch and spin shot helps a whole lot too, especially with a high Power Hitter rating to add distance to the shot. =) posted by Sarius --- posted on Jan 14, 2003 at 9:46pm est --- post #000022 ---

Yeah, Simgolf..! Sim Golf is pretty fun.. I like that you can play through your course with your little golf pro guy, and that it doesn't require a lot of skill to do it since all you do is tell him where to try and hit the ball. It's the perfect, lazily-paced game to relax and play for a while. posted by Chainsaw --- posted on Jan 14, 2003 at 6:46pm est --- post #000021 ---

SimLife I love the sim games. In fact, i just bought SimGolf today. Pretty darn fun. I need to catch up on The Sims expansions, i'm missing 3 of them. =( posted by Sarius --- posted on Jan 13, 2003 at 7:30pm est --- post #000020 ---

games... I'm such an old school gamer it's pitiful. I'm talking old Atari 2600 and SNES... hehehe... old stuff. I do have a few PC games now, the Sims, Myst, two other ones I have to install again yet (just formated & reinstalled both OS's) and I just recently got Morrowind, looks pretty cool. I need to upgrade my video card though... get a game port... I a$$umed when I bought this puter that game ports were still standard... hehehe... ooops! I suppose I could always get some USB thing but I already have the gamepads... and besides, I've wanted a better video card with all the frills. posted by Unykornz - Unykornz Haven --- posted on Jan 9, 2003 at 7:38pm est --- post #000019 ---

Mind Numbing GameCube Fun If you haven't played animal crossing, theres no point to it, you just collect items, mail letters, fish, catch bugs, dig up fossils. no point at all, it's like a cuddly cute version of the SIMS, but it's highly addictive JIM posted by TCS --- posted on Nov 11, 2002 at 4:44pm est --- post #000018 ---

Changing gears... If I may, I would like to mention a PS2 game I messed with this weekend. It's called MARK OF KRI, and I think it's pretty fun... It's perfect when you're in the mood for mindless mayhem or wanton destruction and violence... I rather enjoy the combat system as well, as it allows your big guy to direct his attacks toward three separate enemies in a very easy-to-learn way. Did you like watching Conan when you were a kid? If that's your type of movie, then you should run out and get this game right now, before it vanishes... For some reason, it didn't sell very well despite the spiffy action, artwork, and graphics. I also picked up Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and I have been so busy cruising around the city on a scooter listening to 80's tunes that I haven't even completed the first objective. Fun without even trying! posted by Chainsaw --- posted on Nov 8, 2002 at 6:44pm est --- post #000017 ---

Stacking Yeah, stacking scenery is a great new feature. Makes it fun to design rides like the haunted mansion and nice queue line shelters and stuff. I always wanted to get Sim Golf...thought that would be a sweet game, but was always too broke to get it. posted by Sarius --- posted on Nov 1, 2002 at 3:18pm est --- post #000016 ---

Short Attention Span Chainsaw I actually haven't been able to get into RCT2 at all yet... Whenever I load it up, I discover I'm not really in the mood to micromanage a theme park, and I quit out and load up a combat game of some sort instead. I even reinstalled Freedom Force to beat up some super villians, and thought about reinstalling Sim Golf to manage a golf course, but I never got around to it. Your custom rides and stuff look really great, though... I hadn't really played around with RCT2 enough to realize that some of that stuff was even possible. posted by Chainsaw --- posted on Nov 1, 2002 at 9:49am est --- post #000015 ---

Designing is fun Hey Chainsaw, how are you doing with RCT2? I've spent some time this week making some coasters/rides. Been doing pretty good considering I've always been kinda bad at making the rides "enjoyable." It's easy to make wicked rides, but having all ratings in the Extreme rating isn't so good for riders. Feel free to check out what i've made here: http://home.rochester.rr.com/hicknsar/rct/ Anyone else who knows the game, or is just curious, feel free to check em out. posted by Sarius --- posted on Oct 31, 2002 at 11:52pm est --- post #000014 ---

Emergency 2: The Ultimate Fight for Life Every now and then, I get bored with all the killin' and whatnot that is the main focus of most of the games I enjoy. Why not try to un-kill someone for a change? How about dispatching and controlling police, firefighters, ambulances, tow trucks and other vehicles and personnel at the scene of an accident or disaster? I tried the demo out and I was pleasantly surprised. The original Emergency was, I think, a DOS-based game from quite a while ago. I remember playing a demo of the original, and it kind of sucked. A lot. Emergency 2, however, is a different story... Buried beneath some rather lame box-art (seriously--I think I would be embarassed to carry that box to the cash register, it's just REALLY lame for some reason) and over-hyped blurbs lies a fairly solid game which may provide some entertainment. I have some complaints with the interface, but for the most part, this was pretty fun. The demo lets you handle an accident scene where a train has plowed into the side of an SUV. I had my little police officer take care of the railroad switchbox to stop any trains coming from the other direction, my little firefighters drove up in their equipment truck and put out the SUV's engine fire before using the jaws of life to free the trapped driver, and my teams of paramedics administered first aid to the train's engineer and the driver of the SUV. As the paramedic teams helped each of their patients into an ambulance and sped off, I had my firefighters clear a tree out of the way with a chainsaw so a tow truck could clear the wrecked vehicle from the train tracks. It was actually a lot of fun! Apparently, in the full version, there are all sorts of rescue helicopters and search dogs and whatnot... Unfortunately, I don't think it's available in the US just yet, as it's a German company that released the game. My guess is that they're hard at work with a USA tileset and sounds for the vehicles and personnel, as more Americans would be likely to pick up this title for the eventual US release. If you're interested in checking out the demo, it's a modest 58MB download but does seem to be worth a look. Check it out at http://www.emergency2.com/english/ Drake, if you wanna give it a try, let me know and I'll burn the demo to CD for you. posted by Chainsaw --- posted on Oct 25, 2002 at 4:18pm est --- post #000013 ---

Sudden Strike 2... I was hoping this would be as exciting as Westwood's Command & Conquer series of RTS games, but so far it's very sterile, rather slow, and fairly disappointing. Here are my nit-picks after a few hours of playing: 1) The various infantry units are nearly impossible to tell apart, and quite difficult to select by clicking on. As only some units can perform certain duties, this can get annoying. 2) Airplanes. There are lots of aircraft in this game--bombers, spy planes, fighter planes, etc, but I can't seem to use them correctly. I started the same mission over several times, I made sure nothing was wrong and that none of my units were blocking any part of the airfield, but the result is always the same. Once you order a plane to take off, it will never ever land. Ever. It flies around until it runs out of gas and then it crashes. Wheee. The manual says that when I have a plane selected there should be a "Land on our airfield" button, but there isn't one. 3) The computer doesn't react to being shelled with artillery. They just stand there while you blow them into oblivion. What fun is that? All in all, this game just seems sort of disappointing so far. If it suddenly becomes fun, I'll be sure to let you know! posted by Chainsaw --- posted on Oct 21, 2002 at 12:10pm est --- post #000012 ---

My first review For my first review i turn to the gamecube and the game is: GODZILLA: DESTORY ALL MONSTERS. no in this game (which i'm sure brian never played, at least no with me). you can choose betwen several characters and completly wallop all the buildings even thowing them at other craetures. mothra is a special attack and is not avaliable to unlock, which makes me sa becuase i own a authentic TY Mothra beanie baby whcih if you would like to see lmk. if you are a die hard godzilla fan (not if that US one that me and drake BOYCOTTED) then i would highly endorse this game.

Chainsaw 2 *I* already have near to their entire collection. Certainly amusing but the quality of the game play itself ranges from anywhere from somewhat fun to dull. So much is dependant on the players "making their own fun" which fortunately I've had good group experiences with. Kill Dr Lucky is a classic and Deadwood is great if you're in a room full of people who dig improv. -MMM posted by Octavian --- posted on Oct 18, 2002 at 5:55pm est --- post #000010 ---

Octavian You, sir, sound like you might enjoy some of the games that Cheapass Games has to offer: http://www.cheapass.com/ Really fun, very humorous... Check 'em out! posted by Chainsaw --- posted on Oct 18, 2002 at 4:41pm est --- post #000009 ---

Chainsaw I've heard of Awful Green Men but haven't played, but I must say that I'm pretty disappointed with Steve Jackson games in general. They're really fun but completely overpriced. FRAG is a very fun boardgame which simulates first person shooter computer games (thus staying on topic) but is near fifty dollars for a plastic gameboard and some flimsly cardboard markers. Bah! -MMM posted by Octavian --- posted on Oct 17, 2002 at 7:13pm est --- post #000008 ---

Look at me I'm around more! Well, I just got Wild ARMs 3 today and it is SShhhaaaweeet! I'm not that far into it, but Final Fantasy and Wild ARMs have always been my favs with now Kingdom Hearts and the Chrono serries close behind. I love RPGs because of the stories and it's characters. You need a good story behind a game and a good story will have usually good characters. I have also been playing Legaia 2. I'm just not getting into it as much as I could. I may just return it for another game, or sell it. Well. that's all I got. -Drake posted by Drake --- posted on Oct 16, 2002 at 11:51pm est --- post #000007 ---
