I finished Gears of War tonight. Excellent game and a new standard for tactical shooters that will be tough to beat. Now the wait begins for Capcom’s Lost Planet: Extreme Condition…
I finished Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter over the weekend. It takes longer to memorize the name than to finish the actual game. I definitely recommend it for any XBOX 360 owner.
Are you a fan of old-school point and click games like Maniac Mansion? If so, check out ScummVM. ScummVM is a Lucas Arts engine emulator that runs a bunch of classic point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have the game files. The emulator runs in almost any operating system you can think of: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC, etc. Here’s a list of fully supported games: Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit the Road, and The Curse of Monkey Island.
My friend, Matt, recommended I play this game and damn is it good. It’s a very fancy looking point-and-click adventure done in Flash. If you remember playing those old King’s Quest / Space Quest / Police Quest / Leisure Suit Larry games, you’ll get a kick out of this.
Right now they have two free adventures: Samorost and Samorost 2. You can buy an additional chapter to Samorost 2. So don’t be a cheap bastard and contribute to original independent video game development.
Check it out: Samorost and Samorost 2.
