"The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena"
I must play this.
Sweet, so the new Riddick game is finally coming out. The original was one of the best games on the Xbox.

They say this is apparently a remake, but much more on top of that as well.
Wiat wait wait wait...maybe the wording of the article was off, but I just read something that said this whole "Black Mesa Source" remake of the original "Half Life" is fan made?
So is this ever going to see the light of day in stores, or is it just some little nerd project that people can download for shits-n-giggles, like "ZDoom"?
I imagine Black Mesa will eventually find its way on to Steam, and I also imagine its creators will find themselves working for Valve. Valve has always supported the mod community. It's a PC mod, so it won't be out in stores or on the 360. It looks like one of the most ambitious mods I've ever seen.
Here is a nice looking CGI trailer for the console version of The Witcher, coming out next year.
I hear it is to be a different game than it's PC brother.

I want to play the PC version soon.
You say this as if it's a bad thing. Are games only good if you can buy them in stores?Quote:

One of them wanted to go for the crowned achievement (killing a witch with a headshot). So he went to position himself near a witch, but when he finally was ready a smoker's tongue grabbed him and dragged him over the witch he was standing at. The witch was startled of course and as we tried to shoot the witch off him someone shot the car she was standing next to and set of the alarm that attracted a fresh horde of zombies. Luckily for him we were playing on normal so he survived the attack. It was glorious.:)
I keep saying this but this game is amazing. My online co-op experience has been nothing but fantastic. The great majority of the people I've met were kind, worked together, healed each other and just understand that this is a teamwork game. Going rambo just doesn't work. And if you get in a bad group, you'll have no trouble finding another game.
Heh, speaking of bad groups. There was one time where we all basically had a standoff in the safe room, all of us just killing each other, until one person was able to escape, only to make it five feet before being killed by someone still alive in the safe room on the ground.
Game restarted.
Everyone played as if nothing had happened. Hilarious.

There's a much more revealing trailer for "Batman: Arkham Asylum" on the DVD of The Dark Knight.
It was pretty awesome.
Okay, having a PlayStation 2 is amazing (I wrote a big long, rambling blog post about it on Sunday if anyone's interested). This entire world of non-Nintendo games has opened up to me.
I was wondering if anyone here might be able to recommend some classic but still readily available (on the used market) and not terribly expensive original PlayStation games. Note that my tastes lean toward Japanese developers, but I'm open to all good games. Already have the three Final Fantasy games for the system.
Have you played Star Ocean: The Second Story, Sycophant? You'd dig that one.
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep an eye out for it.Quote:

I got a decent way through that one, but my copy got scratched. It's okay, Star Ocean 2's much better IMO. On thing that really struck me about Star Ocean 3 is that it has some of the worst voice acting I've ever heard. Star Ocean 2 also has terrible voice acting but you only have to hear it during the battles.Quote:

There are a ton of awesome PS1 games out there.
I bought my brother The World Ends With You for the DS for Christmas. This is a good game, right? He has kind of Sycophanty tastes.
If his tastes are anything like mine, he should probably like it. I think it's the best game I have on the DS and easily one of the best I've played this year.Quote:

Finished Resistance: Fall of Man. As a narrative experience it's about one step off Doom, but as a gameplay experience it's about 3 steps off Doom. What I'm trying to say is that it was pretty awesome. I liked shooting the aliens.
I got Chrono Trigger for the DS today. I hope it's good.
