ok, first, Republic: the revolution. Sorry Rinox, Gamespot didn't much like it.

And, Stalker: Oblivion Lost. A bit more info, though not a whole lot. I can't wait for this one.

Pff, Gamespot, that's not much of an authority! Hehe..but seriously...that sux. I hope this is just a case of "personal dislike", it happens sometimes eh, that someone dislikes a game that's generally regarded as very likeable or even classic. I recall that even Half-Life got a moderate review when it came out, bet that guy is long fired by now.

Ofcourse, this is just me trying to make myself belief that it's like this. I always wanted to be a "good" dictator.

yea, hopefully. There should be more reviews out there by now. I'll snoop around a bit when I get done here.

*edit*
as promised, some reviews.

http://pc.ign.com/articles/436/436424p5.html

IGN seems to be a pretty fair review. The guy mentions alot of bad stuff, but also admits he'll be playing it for awhile and it is, overall, a really good game.

anoter one:

once more, kindof on the rail. A little less flattering than the IGN one, I think.

and another:

*/edit (for now)*

Someone played/seen commandos 3 yet? The demo is out but i`m too close to my downloadlimit so haven`t been able to try it out yet.

Loved the first commandos, commandos2 was fun but never really got addicted.

What's a downloadlimit?! Just pay a few euro's and you'll get another 5 gig extra J!

Last month i got to 25 Gig, not bad for a home pc aye.

i know, but I`m not going to pay for something that my brother will probably only waste on useless stuff.
And since i`m done with school now, i might begin to search for a place for me and my gf to live together. that`s something for the future though. but in that case i`m going to need every euro i have, and search for work .. work aaaaaaargh.

Lol, i hear ya...any idea where you might settle down yet? I mean, in which city? Antwerpen, Gent or Brussel? Or someplace else.

Really no idea at all. Prolly will depend a bit on where i might find a job (if i find one of course). My gf works in brussel, and lives in leuven for the moment (good connection with the train). So it`s really hard to tell where we end up. Mechelen, Antwerpen, Leuven, ... dunno.

Just have a brilliant idea: first companies where i`m going to apply are Stella and the like. Or is it the leffe in my head speaking?

Lol, if you're getting a job at Stella i'll come over and stalk your free-beer ass!

As for the train connection...well, from and to brussel there's kinda a good train connection in every corner of Belgium aye. Trains don't ride late tho. Same for buses, two days ago i had to WALK 15 kilometres home from Antwerpen cos i missed my last bus (1 AM), and everyone i knew that could pick me up was either too busy with job/studies/whatever to bother or i left their phone numbers at home. Ah well.

Good luck with it anyways, whatever you two decide to do. Money shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're "tweeverdieners" eh.

I'm d/ling it now J....

Btw - has anyone tried the new Gamespot Secure Delivery thingo? They have it on a few files.... YAOW!

I'm gettin homeworld 2 demo through that.... I'm averaging 120 kb/s .... peaking at 150 kb/s - and not dropping below 100 kb/s.


Also - the Gamespot download manager owns....

UFO: Aftermath and Temple of elemental evil (Troika games) have gone gold.

w00t! Don't care so much for the temple one, but UFO aftermath..... *drool*

6 Days





PS! I forgot, Ascaron is publishing a game called Pirate hunter. Its running on Port Royale engine so to speak and is quite similiar to it with some exceptions, anyway i liked Port Royale so im keeping my eyes on this one.

anyone in the UK that wants Halo for PC, they've put back release date again (in case you didn't know). Was supposed to be today, now 10th Oct.

UK release of UFO Aftermath is ...dadadaaaaa... Tomorrow




Edit: sorry today is the release date tomorrow 3rd of October
