MVP Baseball 2003

Not the best baseball game I've ever played, but better than the other PC baseball offerings this year.  I also won Civ 3 in a recent eBay auction, so hopefully I'll get it soon.

I've bought some older games a few weeks ago at a store that was selling them at ridiculously low prices (2 euros each):

Cyberjudas
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division
Shadow Watch
Battle Isle Platinum Collection
Pizza Connection 2
Redguard
Sign of the Sun
Pax Imperia

And I'll soon be buying several adventure games from a few fellow forum members so I'll have plenty to do when my vacation starts in a couple of weeks.

I just ordered Myst III Exile. This is actually the first Myst game i will play. I see a lot of different opinions about it but it was cheap so i thought: why not.

I really hate FMV (video with real actors) in computergames, so i hope there will be not a lot of those in it though.

Anachronox is the game that officially got me into RPGs. It is one of the funniest and most brilliant of any games I've played.

Okay, recent acquisitions...

  • Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (GameCube RPG)
  • Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (PC RPG)
  • Elder Scrolls 3: Tribunal (PC RPG)
  • Hamtaro: Ham-ham Heartbreak (Gameboy Advance Adventure) *
  • Pikmin (GameCube Strategy)
  • Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance (Gameboy Advance Platform)

* Hamtaro is a true adventure game, and any adventure lover who owns a Gameboy Advance should get it. It's also the most adorable game I've ever played. (But you didn't hear that from me!)

P.S. The reason I haven't bought many adventures lately is I have a shelf of unplayed ones already. They're definitely in the queue though!

It's hard! But it's also beautiful and huge. It's the first Zelda game I've played and I'm enjoying it a lot. My only complaint so far is that if you save and quit before you're done with a big level, you'll physically start from the very beginning of the level the next time you play, and you'll have to kill most of the baddies and complete most of the physical tasks again just to get back to where you were when you last quit. I only play this game when I have a block of 3 solid hours I can devote to it (which turns out to be Saturday mornings only), so I can complete a whole level and prepare for the next.

It's got the best implemented FMV I've seen in a game, considering you can actually look around in 360 degrees whilst playing... in fact, I think I'll load it on again!

Gamaholic,

Take your time with Anachronox and savor it, great game and replayable because you might take different characters along with you.

Well, after the space ship prison scene let us know what you thought of it.

Bloodmoon, I am heavily into it right now that is why not much posting lately.  Love it and think it is a better addon than Tribunal (though can't beat the clock city ending)  but each are totally different stories and you can go back and forth between the three worlds.   Lots to do in the game.

I just want the addons to keep coming and coming.

I have finished Salammbo and I liked it but then I like those hybrids of Fable/Liberties with History/Adventure games (like Faust, The Ring).
