I got Men of War last night via this article.
Playing it borders on masochism, but I’m loving it!

I quite enjoyed Assassin’s creed when I picked up the disc version for £20.

One weird thing about it was there were some performance problems which looked like it was caused by the game phoning home via the internet.

Blocking the game in my firewall stopped that little trick and it worked flawlessly after that. Not sure if the Steam version will have the same problem.

The game itself is atmospheric, beautiful, but ultimately very repetitive. The assassinations don’t work very well – there’s almost no way to do it stealthily, though I did manage it on one occasion.

It’s worth getting for a tenner though, just for the atmosphere and graphics.

In the options, you can change the pause settings in Freedom Force to various slow down speeds so it’s like using Bullet Time if having it pause completely is too jarring for you.

Wow a demo with 3 install limits, for a small, cheap indie game? That is paranoid stupidity on the part of the developers.

Lightweight Ninja Demo uses some godawful authorisation software. softwrap or something.. only 3 trial runs before it refuses to run.
Tried it on my Eee, screen flashed, nothing happened. clicked it again,’2 activations remaining’… wtf?. tried again,same. Demo then refuses to run until you buy it.
okay, it might need some setting tweak or something, but a demo shouldnt have a bloody limitation, especially if you cant guarantee its going to bloody run.. grrrr..

it might be cheap, but they can go f’ themselves for that stunt. Potential sale – LOST
tossers.

I have no money to spend on games this month, yet I still bought the Trials 2 pack and the Freedom Force pack :(

Yes, SoC is by far the better game.

Hmm.. I’m actually quite tempted by Clear Sky. I’ve not played SoC though.. Is that really so much better for one fresh to the series?

I’m glad some of the RPS staff like DN3D. It really is a great load of fun and yes, it’s still (somehow for reasons i can’t grasp) very very playable to this day. Infact I played through the whole thing only a fortnight ago. Great stuff.
