Hadnāt heard of it until now. This reminds me that there are many forks and mods of Quake out there. I had high hopes for the CryEngine version of Nexuiz, but was bummed that it was getting released by THQ just as they were closing shop, so it kind of died on the vine. I might still try to āobtainā it from other sources just to try it single-player. I should check out Warsow as well as Nexuiz Classic and Xonotic. I need to always have some good deathmatch options.
I tried a couple UTs - I donāt know/remember which ones - I tried to like these but had lots of little annoyances about the feel of the game engine. The physics, movement, etc. In all fairness, this was almost entirely because I was wanting it to feel and move like a Quake.

I have a sadā¦ I tried to save my game so I could help with dinner but I got attacked by a bear and mauled. Then I tried to nap to get better and when I woke upā¦ bear. Again. I died of blood loss and shock before fading away into āThe Long Darkā. Iād survived 146 days. Hours and weeks of playing. Seriously man. This game.

Yeah Bedlam looks interesting and kinda in the zone theme wise for me but the community reviews have made me shy about purchasing.
Anyone like Puzzle Games?
I got all three of the Hexcells games back in June and all are good and more than worth the price doubly so if you catch them on sale.

I ended up buying it, 'cos it was cheap.
Had a quick playthrough on easy yesterday. I actually quite like it. Itās definitely just FTL meets Mad Max. Really nice presentation.
The battle stuff isā¦odd. Iād like an opportunity to practice it though. It really isnāt something like XCOM, itās (and I think I saw some reviews that said this) more like a game of chess. The battles are short, you need to plan them, and you will be sacrificing weak characters to keep the good ones alive. Which is why Iād like a sandpit to practice in, I think.
FTL is still better, though. Although I suck at it. It creates a better narrative.

I have this on XBOX. Sāokay. For old Your Sinclair/Amiga Power fans, Stuart Campbell was the main writer for this.

Wow, Iāll be playing Golden Axe tonight for sure. For some reason it wonāt tell me what is in āSega Classicsā but at $0.00 I feel it is probably worth picking up.

I always thought (the original) Golden Axe had a great minimal gothic vibe to it. Iād like to see a short, nearly dialog-free chop-em-up movie thatās very faithful to it. The only feel-change Iād make is Reasonable Armor for Tyris and Ax

Has anyone played Transistor? I remember reading about it a while ago and it sounded intriguing. I see itās available on iOS, might give it a go.
Thanks and I was reminded how much I suck at games like Golden Axe. It did give me a chance to use my xbone controller that I got for usability testing awhile ago so that was nice.
Golden Axe is one of the few games I ever finished pre save-files and without cheats. I think the Amiga version must have been very easy. I do remember the trick of trapping the little elves so you could kick them loads of times for extra potions before they ran off.

Thatās from the people who made Bastion, right?
Folks I know who loved Bastion seemed to like Transistor. I only kinda liked Bastion, the game got a bit stale for me.
Thatās the badger.
I never played Bastion, though.
The Xbone controllers are really, really great. It makes me feel like a controller snob to say this, but after playing with them for a while they make the old Xb360 controllers seem flat out janky.
