Anyone remember playing the game 1942? You're on a WWII fighter and you fight level after level after level? Like for 200 levels? My god I loved that game. Playing Darksiders I. Very lineal, but feels like I'm playing God of War. Great cinematic scenes. rabid In 1942 don't you play a plane ? If it's the game I remember, that was an very great game : a shoot-them-up that was really difficult but cool. I got disappointed by Darksiders, I've found the levels not really cleverly designed and the controls clumsy but yes the cinematics are cool. |

beunsYep, a WWII fighter of some kind. I agree about Darksiders controls and level design. I didn't want to be the one to point it out because I rip into too many games already!  On the other hand, I like the big 'macho ego porn' story. I have taken over 100 screenshots as the game progresses, simply for coolness' sake. rabid

1942 was awesome. Played it on pretty much every home version there is I love those classic vertical scrollers, woth the waves that you can learn and so on. I'm not into the randomness of bullet-hell games though, they do NOTHING for me. |

An information bulletin.
Darksiders I has a crash bug (at least the steam version). It crashes randomly, often.
Working on finding a fix.

Cost me 3 bucks. That's a Heineken and a half's worth of beer for a crashing game. Blasphemy!!!  rabid |

Well, Darksiders I is complete. Great cinematic scenes. Difficult controls. Made for a ton of good screenshots.

Anyone trying "Space Corsair" for Android? I'm finding myself getting drawn in. It's arcade/missions/rpg/upgrade your ship etc. Mine asteroids. Shoot pirates. Fight aliens. All in real-time. I've also started playing ST 1 on Hard. Scream!!! Everytime I think I have it sussed, either a pirate or an alien, combat encounter, puts paid to my Captain. Lol. Enjoying it though. Glad I stopped playing on wimpy normal mode. Feels like a life and death struggle now.  Buy Elite and help support the Trese Brothers. |

Getting back at Final Fantasy 13. I tried it 2 years ago and was...enjoying it actually. I know lots of people has said it was really rigid, not open enough but...it's a Final Fantasy.
I fell in love of FF since the 7 (like many people in western countries) and played every one that has been released after that one, except for MMO ones (11 and 14) because I'm not found of MMORPG.

Ha. As a youth I was gifted with an arcade machine called Twin Cobra? I think. Similar to 1942. It was rigged with a button that added credits. Anyway, my friends and I would play trying to beat it, clicking the button for new credits right? There was no end. It just kept going. I sold that sumbitch. Blew the money on something else for fun. Some endless games suck. ST is so much better. There is an end to that. Crushed Hull anyone? Hehe

Cg, I see Space Corsair has IAPs and one reviewer described them as pay-to-play. I dislike games where IAPs create an uneven playing field allowing you to pay your way to success. I also dislike games where you have to either grind endlessly or pay IAPs to progress. I really wanted to play Baldur's Gate. There's an android version that is generally well reviewed. I paid the $10 but I just can't play the game on my 5" Nexus5. The game needs a bigger screen. They recently updated it so you can change font size, but that's not enough. I wonder what size screen would do.

You know, I've been playing a lot of Minecraft in survival mode. After making a base, expanding my roads for a while, taming horses and exploring the world. I realized something important .... I hadn't the faintest idea what the point of the game was. If I sat down to build things, creative mode was better. That part I enjoy. If I sat down to explore in survival mode, there was no point to said exploration, and combat, because lvls are not permanent, they are used simply to enchant things. There is no reward for the effort, simply more 'fuel' to keep exploring. Since on PCs the worlds are INFINITE ... you never stop exploring. You can do 'the end' but there is no reward there either. No feeling of accomplishment. So, I think I'll just do creative mode and have fun building castles in the sky. rabid |

I played Minecraft on the Xbox 360, and Creative Mode always bored the tar out of me. Building is nice and all, but without the added dangers of wildlife threatening to destroy my buildings or compelling me to make functional buildings in the first place, I lose interest very, VERY quickly. I drag some friends into survival mode because of this boredom on my end and for the sick kick of hearing them whine/panic as night falls and they can't get their wonder mansion done before the monsters come out (mud huts and digging to pass the time til morning FTW). I love the challenge of building a moderately nice house AND making it safe from monsters too. I don't even mine/fight much, just build and monster-proof buildings while exploring all I can so I can eventually connect all my outposts together (Xbox does have a limited world). But thats just me, and I sense that I'm something of a minority in Minecraft. Well, to each their own. |

I've also started playing ST 1 on Hard. Scream!!! Everytime I think I have it sussed, either a pirate or an alien, combat encounter, puts paid to my Captain. Lol. I'm shocked - I thought you were playing crazy difficulty at least Cg! If you have learned your lessons well from earlier difficulties, playing up to Crazy only hair-raising in the first couple of hundred turns. After that, if you build your captain up well, you'll find yourself pretty tough and dominating I'm still playing Diablo III ... stupid Diablo. What sort of game designer makes you invest hundreds of hours building up your characters so that you can run them over large diverse maps hunting for even more gear. (Not looking at the TB's for doing exactly that with HoS ...) |
