    I might be incorrect when I say this, but doesn't PES only have 8 direction movement, rather than the 360 degrees of FIFA? If that is the case, the d-pad is probably better, but would mostly be down to personal preference.

    PES06 definitely has 8 direction movement only, and yeah, I played it using d-pad. Isn't there an elaborate training mode in the game? I remember learning all of the advanced moves without little trouble in that mode.

    So me and my son are playing just cause 2 (free with a graphics card but I couldn't believe play, until win 7) on the easiest setting.

    After landing too far from the landing zone 7 times in the introduction, failing and being forced to restart I discovered that 'W' is not 'forward' but 'accelerate fall' it was fine after that. Beautiful, fun to play almost totally free of frustrating difficulty (so far, I hear it gets worse), but it's ace and I hated the original game.
    I'm failing to writing a blog, specifically about playing games the wrong way

    Picked up Gotham city imposters in the steam sale.

    It's actually quite a lot of fun, love the manic nature of it and the glider pack gives me a similar feeling to the assault pack in space marine.

    I also finished off infamous today, but that doesn't exist in pc land.

    So far it's shaping up to be the perfect sequel--i.e. like the first, only it corrects all its flaws. Same combat and stat system, but this time there seems to be fewer junk battles (there is less fighting over all, but the fights that are there are better thought out and more challenging), new fast travel points (the first game's biggest flaw was having to run everywhere), better designed quests (including class specific quests at the start ala "Dragon Age: Origins"), and a better and more involved story (it still won't win any awards or anything, but it's at least not as embarrassing this time around).

    It's a shame Radon Labs went bankrupt after releasing this. I feel like they hit their stride with the licence in this game so I would have liked to have seen more turn based RPGs in the Drakensang universe. I guess I might have to get the "Realms of Arkania" games from GOG (which I didn't realize until now are also set in the Drakensang universe).

    Anyone know if the "Realms of Arkania" games are any good?
    Well, its April 1st. So I can't guarantee its true but http://www.pcgameshardware.de/aid,87...dventure/News/

    I've been playing some Sins of a Solar Empire, some Age of Mythology, some Day of Defeat Source and some Dota 2. Each of which are great.

    Playing baldur's gate. It's a pretty ok hack and slash game, albeit with a terribly unbalanced combat/magic system and weird difficulty curve. I was expecting it to be an RPG though.... weird.

    I just finished "Hard Reset" on "insane." I actually really liked that game. Don't understand why it got such a lukewarm reception. I didn't even really mind the checkpoints, as it's a very learnable game. At some point in the second half, everything just kind of "clicked" for me in terms of understanding enemy attack strategies and it became really easy and fun as I was more or less untouchable. I think the game is only difficult at the start when all you have is a shotgun, but once you unlock the more powerful weapons it becomes alot more fun and manageable. I'm looking forward to the (reportedly free) DLC being released at the end of April.


    Also trying to give "E.Y.E" a fair shake, but it's just sooooooo awful. The stat system is neat, but there are so many stats, research, implants, and upgrades that it's basically overload and you have no idea what is good and what isn't. On top of it, the game plays like a shit FPS mod, so I guess I'm having a hard time seeing how the upgrades and stats even affect gameplay. I've been upgrading away for a few levels now and see next to no difference in gameplay. Plus, the worlds are huge and dead (which is just kind of depressing to me. It reminds me of some sad, old, multiplayer game that everyone has forgotten, so now it's just crawling with terribly programmed bots in the place of humans).

    I usually have a "must finish everything I start" rule, but I'm not sure if I can do that with "E.Y.E."

    My German's pretty shit (so I could be wrong), but from what I could make out Deep Silver and Daedelic are releasing a new game set in the "Dark Eye" universe in June?

    That would be awesome if true, but June seems a bit too soon for the release of a game that hadn't been previously announced. So am I misreading something here?

    It has been previously announced.

    It's been known for a while that there's a Das Schwarze Auge adventure (yes, adventure) game in the works.

    It's the shitty interface that makes things appear convoluted otherwise the system's quite simplistic.

    Exactly how I felt. The level-designing and art-style being shit don't help matters either.

    E.Y.E. is the first game in a long while that I couldn't get myself to finish.

    Since the Devs integrated Mumble i am back to a lot of Project Reality.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=qvWXZhcjkxo

    Every game should use Mumble,locational Speech, and aimed communication is damn useful.

    Ah and replaying the full Company oh Heroes on Expert.

    Tried a bit of Space Station 13,but it runs very sluggishly.Maybe anyone has a tip for that?

    I had the same issue. Felt like I was controlling a greased up turd.

    Finally got Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai downloaded, after leaving my PC on for 2 nights, and lanned it with a friend; we played the co-op campaign for 6 hours straight. As Shogun loyalists of course.
