    Beyond Good & Evil. Great, great game.

    Go browse a good demo download site (one I use is: [url]http://www.ausgamers.com/files/demos.php[/url]). Just about all I play anymore are demos...I'm too cheap to get the full game :)

    yeah I recently tried T-72 Balkans Under Fire & well I couldn't really tell what was going on to say the least.

    But where can I get a copy of TA?
  • ArethusaArethusa Universal Cathode
    These days, about all you can do is download it illegally. I'm pretty certain it's well out of print.

    You can still find copies of all listed games in their shrink wrap, thus qualifying them as new ;)

    Also, he never differentiated between "new" as related to release date, or new as being new to him, and thus my list is still totally valid. :p

    As for TA...ebay. there's something called the Commander Pack...and the best part is...there's a mac version which is even friendly enough for your system ;)

    civ 4 will be out at the end of the year, Im looking forward to that. Otherwise, all Ive played lately is Tiger Woods 2k5 on the Xbox.

    I am now sponsered by Nike and Calloway.

    I've used that site many a time. They've been quick and reliable for me; a great way to get older games you missed during their initial store release.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    The only thing to make sure is that you also get the Core Contingency. Since you're running a mac, you'll need to get the mac pack, which has the game itself, CC, Battle Tactics, of which the first two are the only really important pieces.
  • If you can upgrade your system, get BF2, even if it *is* buggy as hell...

    Well as of late I've been on a FPS gaming binge. Mostly I just went to the store and bought all the games I've been weiting to play for a few months until the prices drop to under $25. Its amazing how many good games you can get for so cheap if you just wait a couple of months after the release date. Here's what I've been playing:

    Replayed Doom 3 in Nightmare mode
    Bought the Doom 3 expansion pack. Not too bad for an expansion and longer than usual.

    Replayed Half Life 2 again on my new 6800 GT in all its 4X AA glory.

    Call of Duty w/expansion pack. Man I don't believe I've played a game this fun in a loooong time. Gives FPS games a new twist. With a 7.1 surround system this game is just awesome. It really makes you feel like you are in the middle of a battlefield being bombarded by artillery. A definate must play if you are a WWII nut :D

    Finally I bought the 3 Splinter Cell series games (Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory). I'm normally not a 3rd person game type fan but I've really been diggin this series. They are a nice change of pace from a classic first person shooter. If you like games with interesting and immersive story lines this is the way to go. They are all really good. I finished the first two and am currently playing though Chaos Theory. CT runs on a heavily modified Unreal Tournament 2004 engine that looks downright astonishing! I think it even outdoes the Half life and Doom engine in many aspects. I'm pretty bummed I'm almost finished with the last one because I've enjoyed the series so much I want more!
  • CurZCurZ Resident Hippy
    GTA San Andreas and Silent Hill 2-4 (start with 2)
  • The Cabl3 GuyThe Cabl3 Guy Elite Ranger
    San Andreas sounds like an idea...I hear there are quite a few [URL=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/gta4/news_6129021.html]Mods[/URL] for it. :D

    I can't reallly afford a major upgrade till next year...By then I'll probably just buy a whole new set up.

    Know what? Try [URL=http://www.darwinia.co.uk/]DARWINIA[/URL] on for size.

    Kicks ass, although you may not believe it until you try it. Also, the current demo doesn't do it justice and they're working on a new one.
  • What about KOTOR 2? Darn starwars rpg's completely eaten my brain..
  • VladVlad Earthforce Officer
    Check out Moonbase Commander, if you can find it. It isn't overly flashy, but it is a good little game. It's a turn-based strategy game, except all the units are stationary, but you attack and build with a Worms-esque shooting system (angle/power).

    I don't know how easy it's going to be to find, though. It's a bit old, and never really was all that popular even when it first came out.

    Im playing Silent Hunter 3 between bouts of FFXI...

    "Ve haff vays off blowing ze schitt out off you !"

    There's nuthin quite like getting four torpedo strikes on a battleship and watching it go gurgle gurgle...:)
  • TyvarTyvar Next best thing to a St. Bernard
    Dungeon Lords, cause I can go choppy chop chop on things, and I love their character improvement scheme.

    Waiting on my new graphics card to play doom 3

    And a game called War in the Pacific published by a little known company called "Matrix Games"

    go to [url]www.matrixgames.com[/url] they got quite the line up considering it seems nobody has ever heard of them.

    The even publish Milo's Starshatter! go buy a copy of that!
  • PSI-KILLERPSI-KILLER Needs help
    Currently stuck on the last Warcraft III level and also stuck in a FarCry level.
  • Currently stuck in the level 20 pit in WoW... that is to say, I have four characters at about level twenty, and I'm thinking about creating another because it's starting to take much more effort to level up. :p

    Instead of playing games, you could perhaps, devote your time to reading TOM CLANCY books. :D

    They're really good stuff, most especially the "RYNAVERSE" books. Don't even bother with the co-created series of books (Op-Center, Net-Force, Power Plays) I've heard they suck....and the only one I've ever read (Power Plays: Cutting Edge) sucked major [insert expletitive here]. My two favourites are: "Rainbow Six" and "Sum of All Fears"(forget the movie, you ain't experienced the "sum of all fears" until you read the BOOK). "Without Remorse" comes in as a close third personal fav. Still got a few more to read tho, so that might change (tho I doubt anything can top "R6", or "SumFears").

    Anyway.. just a thought. You can usually find them pretty cheap, too, used.... and in Salv. Army/Thrift stores, etc.

    I bought a bunch of 'em at a whoppin' 50-75c each! lol (Doesn't do them, justice, I know... but better than like $20 some odd bucks, NEW, for a hardcover).

    Happy reading! ;)

    Silent Hunter 3 sounds like an idea! Shit yeah knock out the Hood!

    War in the Pacific is outta my price range...wish I had it though.

    I still have Korsun Pocket though.

    As for the Clancy novels I read all of em except the netforce & powerplays...I make it a tradition to read Without Remorse at least once a year.

    I have contemplated going back to WOW to try to create a certain character but alas the cash situation is desperate.
  • ZoltanZoltan Ranger
    Wow! Well, you're even a greater fanatic than I am, then! heh. Well, I haven't gotten thru all of mine yet, so after I finish off the entire "Rynaverse" series of books, maybe I'll go back and re-read them again in STORY CHRONOLOGICAL order, now that I actually know what order they go in! lol

    I dunno about "Without Remorse", it's a great book, but way too much sorrow for me to be able to control the tears.... heh, and I'd rather not show weakness if I don't have to. :rolleyes:

    -Zoltan [/B][/QUOTE] Thats why I like it I consider it the best of his novels & easily the darkest. The last one was ehhhh well put it this way I think hes really turning in his chips.

    Also Rainbow Six & supposedly Without Remorse are being made into movies directed by John Woo. Don't know how thats gonna turn out though with the current trackrecord of the latest Clancy movies...

    Hmmm... I heard something about that, some time ago. "Supposedly" they're makin' R-6 in Aussie-land! :D At least, that's what my best-friend who lives there, said. I'm sure I still got that article somewhere in my e-mail archives. heh

    Man, I do hope they do a very good job with R-6 as that is my favorite. They'd better not screw it up like "Sum of All Fears" and the Harrison Ford ones.

    So far, I think "Red October" followed the book the closest.

    I did, however, like Ben Affleck as Ryan. A lot better than Ford, or Baldwin! GAH!

    :whip: uuhh harrison ford kicked ass as jack ryan...The script & directing was what sucked...Take a look at Clear & Present Danger they took out the one scene that would have really fucking knocked my sox off...HARRISON FORD WITH A VULCAN MINIGUN IN A BLACKHAWK! YES!

    They also fucked up the storyline by killing Dan Murray?! WTF hes kinda a main character uhhh ya know you need him in Debt of Honor/Executive Orders...
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Ford and Baldwin rocked! How dare you even consider tarnishing their names with such rubbish?

    Submit to the Gods of Indy and prepare to be judged...
