I had Blood Bowl in my hands two days ago. Its actually lying at the bottom of a shelf in my local Gamestop shop. Yes they are even here in Norway. Didnt buy it as it was full price and the system requirements seemed a bit tough for my laptop (I am buying a desktop in the spring). It cost 399 NOK which is 70 USD (I am NOT kidding here).
[quote who="Raven X" reply="28" id="2458048"]I've been playing Armada 2526 for the last two nights off and on. I'm bouncing back and forth between Armada, King Arthur, and Dragon Age. I just don't have enough time to play all the games I want these days. It's ok so far but it definitely needs some tweaking to really shine. The camera control for the battles is atrocious and the UI needs a lot of functionality added to it. It also needs to be able to remember custom game settings which it curr

[quote who="SivCorp" reply="8" id="2464278"]If there is no "shiftiness" going on, why did Al Gore - the "leader" of the green movement - cancel his next speaking arrangement with no reason given? There has been plenty of bad science going on for a long time... And it is not science that is ruined, it is politicized science, green science. The facts were manipulated to get a conclusion that fit a political agenda. That is not science, that is fabr
[quote who="valt" reply="11" id="2464293"]Green projects are all about money. Look at who has made money on these initiatives. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant and has never been proven to cause climate change. Sure the northern polar ice caps are melting but the southern ones are getting larger. There are more polar bears now than there has ever been. The air over America is cleaner than it has ever been in the last 70 or 80 years. Yet all the screaming lefties are calling for the end
Thank you very much! This is interesting!

Buying structures could make hireing cheaper, make mercenaries come to you first and other effects.
Much to think about here. I like games within games (minigames). Like keeping people happy in CIV IV, improving the dragon in Kings Bounty. So kingdoms "fighting" (hirering among a limited common supply) over mercenaries could be good.
[quote who="bonscott" reply="12" id="2461365"]I love Impulse as well and most games I'm interested in they do carry. But there are some they don't like Fallout 3 and other Bethesda products and so this weekend I ended up going to Best Buy to get Fallout 3. I refuse to use Steam so tried and true physical media it was.[/quote] I drop Steam and use Impulse and Gamersgate.
Steam powered no buy for me then :(
[quote who="Aroddo" reply="38" id="2459282"]uuuuhhhhhhh ........ i guess i'm the wrong one to ask ... i barely ever get "involved" in a game. The last science fiction themed games that really drew me in were the story mode of StarCraft and the All-Time-Favorite Star Control II. Armada has about as much "soul" as MoO2 - which, in my books, means not much.[/quote] Heresy and Blasphemy alert. One does not disrespect MOO II. MOO II has lots of soul: The special techs, t
Nice article, though my favorite one is the one you made on MOO II. You are right. MOO II is not yet surpassed. Not even by GalCiv II in my opinion (or Sins for that matter). My top list of games: 1. CIV IV 2. Shared second: MOO II and Total Annihilation (ouch my age is showing here)
In my own little browser game I am going for a base value pluse a random value. I think this makes for nice variation. An attack can have a base damage at 5 and then 1-5 random on top of that (random example here). There is one VERY important thing to remember. If you calculate damage for each unit in a battle then such calculations are problematic. Imagine 1000 swordsmen doing an attack at 3D6. 1D6 will give you on average 3.5. If you simulate 3D6 dice 1000 times then you wil

[quote who="stuntman_lt" reply="17" id="2448849"]I think the report is great, but the main problem that most of digital distribution platforms are orientated towards Americans. Understandably they are the ones that have and are willing to spend the most money but they are also the ones that are getting “consolesed”. [/quote] The willingness to spend money is a relative term here. I would bet that there are several Eurpean countries that would rival the US spending on
Puzzle Quest - Imagine me liking a puzzle game - must be a good one then Kings Bounty - Great and captivating game (also see the sequel Armoured Princess)
Kings Bounty Armoured Princess CIV IV (already suggested)
Thanks raven
You got some valid points there. I will replay (mage or paladin) on harder difficulty after I finish on normal (warrior). I dont mind reusing units and such. Yesterday I met (killed) some Shamans. I relived nightmares about those dancing axes. In Kings Bounty I used them a lot in my own army.
Sounds good. I have a daughter that is 4 years old and could supply some graphics here :) Enjoy your holidays!
[quote who="Mauxe" reply="175" id="2457230"] I love Oblivion but not in its original form so that probably doesn't count. When the world levels up with me I get sad.

If it was on gamersgate or impulse and available in Europe I might bite. Too many ifs there.
