  1. Psychonauts on Steam

    I would guess that since BG&E is on Gametap, it's probably limited to what other avenues of digital distribution it can pursue. I would think Gametap has exclusive rights.
  2. Kieron Gillen studies System Shock

    I didn't think the Godfather was that bad... It was hyped to death as a superhugemegaawesome game, but it had its moments, I thought. Maybe my expectations weren't as high.
  3. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

    Yeah, as illustrated above. They only had text for a few weeks and then had pictures.
  4. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

    I definitely very much super enjoy Foster's and I vote. I don't know how widespread this is, but Cartoon Network did a huge billboard campaign here (Cleveland, OH, USA) where they just had a completely random quote from a CN original series character. Blu's "I'm a hot toe picker!" is on my way home from work. Then they put a big picture of him on the billboard. Makes me smile everytime. Haven't been able to get into Billy and Mandy for some unknown reason.
  5. Have you ever played games on your mobile?

    Funny, I just got back from mine playing Bust a Move. I find that for the most part only puzzle games are truly fun on the mobile level. Others I've played: Tecmo Bowl - Fairly accurate, but there's no option to play a tournament or anything. You just play a game and then another. Plus it's ridiculously easy. Baldur's Gate - Played through it, but it sucked pretty bad as far as fun goes. Elevator Action - Fun, but not enough downloadable levels to make it last. Military Madness - Never played the original, but this game was great. Ran out of fun after went through all 18 levels (no random maps or anything), but it was great fun while it lasted. Age of Empires - Fun like above, but not as fun. Needs a damn mouse. Thanks to Verizon Wireless, all my games are BREW and therefore, need to be bought. Which basically means... I need a DS to sneak here .
  6. e.v.o.: search for eden

    Played it on the SNES back in the day. Loved it. One of my all time favorite strange games that kinda slipped between the cracks. Played it all the way through on ZSNES a few years back and was quite satisfied. Sometimes I think it's one of those concepts that should be rethought with modern technology, but they'd probably make it into a sandbox type game for creature creation.
  7. What are you playing today?

    Is the multiplayer sweet on that one? How's it implemented? I always wanted to try it after the first one. As for me, the girlfriend and I have started on Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 and it's providing us with great joy.
  8. Back to the Future

    I remember playing one of the BTF's on the NES back in the day and, literally, never getting farther then two minutes into the game before dying over and over again. Ah, memories of impossibly hard NES games that would never get made today.
  9. Co-Op story-based games?

    As an update: Started playing Badlur's Gate with the girlfriend. Pretty fun, although, we haven't gotten the timing down to actually get that far. We'll probably try and finish this one and see where we go. I also picked up The Warriors and started playing with my brother. Fun, but, WOW, saying the split screen is disorienting would be an understatement. We just started and we've spent most of our time trying to avoid the split screen and waiting for the other to catch up and the screen to merge again. I'd put the split screen on permanently, but it's just too small to see enough. Shamrok43 suggested both Gladius and LOTR: the Third Age. Anyone played these? I've had an eye out for LOTR: The Two Towers since I found out that it's 2 player co-op.
  10. Sam & Max

    The voice change wasn't nearly as jarring as I expected it to be, considering how much I revere the original game's voices. Definitely kept the spirit of the series. WOOO!
  11. Sam & Max

    I'm sooo excited about this. Even though it means I have to find a computer that doesn't freeze for no reason by this fall, I still can't wait.
  12. Co-Op story-based games?

    As you mentioned, it's not a well-advertised feature at all. I've read two full reviews of the game that don't mention this at all. Weird. These are all great suggestions and I'm assembling my list. Anyone here have any experience playing the Baldur's Gate games co-op?
  13. Co-Op story-based games?

    I got it now. I'm an idiot. They need that for the DC version since I'm too cheap to shell out for the PS2 one. Anyone know if any of the LOTR games are co-op?
  14. possibly interesting e3 games

    Definitely all the details on the Wii. Also, the rumor that Kojima will be playing a demo of MGS4 has me all aflutter.
  15. Co-Op story-based games?

    Thanks for all the responses. As for the PC games, my computer, which is probably capable of running most of them, has decided to randomly freeze at any time for no discernable reason, so I'm not messing with that. Secret of Mana is one of the first games I thought of and I've got a way to play that, so I just might try it again. I played it before back in the day (I don't think that I finished it) and I never realized until recently that it was 2 player. Someone mentioned The Warriors, a game I was thinking about getting anyways. Is there a two-player story mode? I thought I read that you could go back and play the levels in co-op only after you finish them. They don't necessarily have to be RPG's, I just thought it would be a good place to start since the action is paced slower and it's harder to fall behind. Anyhow, this is great. Keep them coming if you have any more.
