Any date set for Starcraft: Ghost? Sounds like it will be a great game.
OK, gotta throw in my 2 cents.
Unreal Tournament - One of the few games I spent a lot of time playing online.
Ravenshield - Haven't played that much, but it's something we'll play at work after hours sometimes. I like the realism, and the insane number of weapons to choose from.
Half-Life - Great game. I'm pretty excited for HL 2, but I'm really afraid my vid card won't handle it. >sigh< time to spend some money...
Medal of Honor - The graphics and detail were so amazing on this game. And the sound of the tommy gun firing was perfect!
Robosport - this one goes WAY back, anyone remember it?? It's the first multi I ever played, it was on an appletalk network with three computers.
No One Lives Forever - the perfect mix of action, stealthy play, and humor.
the Space Quest series - Yeah, that's even older, but I had some great times with this one on my old Apple, then later on a friend's IBM.
Maze Craze - the oldest of my choices, but one of my favorite all time Atari cartridge games!

Although thinking about it, Ghost is a strange name for a product used for backing up drives.
Normally you want to get rid of ghosts, you know exorcism and all that.
Also in computer forums you will often find advice to start in safe mode and go to device manager and 'get rid of any ghosts' ie devices that appear twice or devices you have removed from you system.
Obviously other than calling it Backup or something lame symantec could have called it Doppelganger or Double Up .....
Well, I'm not quite sure of the official release date of Starcraft: Ghost right now, but games like Doom 3, Half-life 2, and Far Cry, that are DirectX 9 games which will take full advantage of DX9 and the next-gen video cards for full brilliance keep getting their release dates pushed back. A playable Doom 3 demo was presented at the 2002 E3 show. Right now they're scheduled to be released early next year, but may get pushed back again.
If you're interested in Starcraft: Ghost you can see its official site here, and make sure you check out some of the gameplay videos here.
Personally, I don't mind game release dates being pushed back if it means fixing some bugs or polishing the look or gameplay. I'd rather the company take a few extra months to fine-tune the game instead of releasing it with lots of bugs and basically unfinished. Amazon.com claims Starcraft: Ghost will be available Feb. 18th, but I think it's still unclear if they're going to release a PC version. I really hope they do and don't make it solely a console game because it will look so much more amazing on the PC. They may release it to console first and then port it to the PC after some more work on it like Microsoft did with Halo.
It was pitched as a god game - you were a god, you controlled the lives of your citizens by feeding/killing/moving/breeding/casting spells/etc on them, trained your creature to do the same thing, and then went to war against other gods.Quote:

I know Black & White 2 is getting ready to come out, if it hasn't already, so I'm very interested in knowing more about both games.
In practice, it turned out to be a resource-micro-management-intensive little-people game (think Populous or The Settlers) with some nice graphics and the creature thing. The creature training thing is cool, but unfortunately you spend too much time managing food and wood. Kinda disappointing after all the hype IMO.
It's the sort of game where I'd normally suggest you give the demo a good workout before buying it, but there's no playable demo. :rolleyes: All I can suggest is read lots of reviews instead I guess. And remember that there's micro-management. Lots of micro-management.
Getting a new key for every time you need to use it sounds very dodgy.Quote:

I think I'm more interested in what the advances are going to be for the second game since it'll be around $50 at first. I don't really want to spend that much without knowing if I'll enjoy it.
It's probably worth the $10. You'll get that much fun out of training a creature the first time, even if you get sick of it after a couple of weeks. :) And it'll give you an idea of whether B&W 2 will be your sort of game or not.
Decidedly low-tech: Jeopardy.
Ms. Pac-Man.
And Space Invaders.
Call me boring.
My husband and son (11), however -- they're into gaming big time. Started when Nick was about 5, and Mike bought him Twinsen's Odyssey. For a 5-year-old? A little strange. However, the two of them played that game together for about six months -- and finally won it!! Which Nick actually has done now a couple of times. Seems like a good thing to teach him to observe clues and plan strategy. Because sometimes now he beats his dad at chess.
;) Cheers

Cool - I've got Jeopardy too although it's very heavy on the American General Knowledge - of which my wife and I have little.Quote:

I have some playable Space Invaders and Pac-Man screen savers that use the original ROMS so they look just like they did all those years ago - I'll find the links.
I've got Relentless or Little Big Adventure - the first of Twinsens Adventures I thought it was pretty cool at the time it came out although I never made it through it. My 4 year old might like to play it - hmm.
I forgot to mention the You Don't Know Jack games. Not bad, except nobody wants to play with me because i read too fast. :(
Invader Saver
Pac Saver
and this used to be a great site for all things Twinsen related Magic Ball Network although it didn't come up to well for me just now.
Although the forum is still working LBA Forum
Tried the free downloadable game Hidden and Dangerous and was very disappointed. Looks fun until the game actually starts. Poor game play and movement. OK, its an old game (relatively), I have a feeling number 2 will be good.
I was at Best Buy yesterday and I decided to go look at some games.....I saw that Neverwinter Nights Game, looked cool. I saw Outlaw Golf, it looks cool....Anyone play it yet or can tell me if it is any good? Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic was there, Terminator 3 Game was there and Simpsons Hit and Run.....
These games all looked like fun to me, anyone have any experience with these games?
Ive heard Simpsons H+R is pretty much GTA with the Simpsons trademark. "It's the best simpsons game ever," yeah, because all the others sucked. I heard its a pretty good game anyway
