Best gaming list I've read so far this year. Thanks.

Always welcome, dude. Glad you approve.

my game of the year is Bangai-O

I left DC gaming a long time ago. Broke my heart.
But India was always paltry with imports, so had no choice.

game of the year : F.E.A.R , deffy. the graphic mightn't've been incredible but innovationwise, this game just stands out. it's like gaming a movie. psychotik man.

F.E.A.R. was awesome. It didn't really innovate on any grounds, except bring certain existing movie stuff to videogames, which made it rock harder.
Good times, good times. Only PC shooter this year that held my attention.

This one really gave me the shivers and the gun battles were quite challenging. I think the enemy AI here was better than that in HL2.

Re: the spot serioussam January 20 2006, 05:24:02 UTC

A secret: HL2 didn't have AI in the strictest sense. Most of it was scripted, and if you play it in higher difficulty you find the script crashes quite often. :)
FEAR's AI was volume based, which means they took decisions on their own, and navigated in real time.

Where is Burnout: Revenge? "VERTICAL TAKEDOWN ( ... )

serioussam January 23 2006, 05:48:05 UTC

First, the games not on my 10 list are not ones I didn't like. It's just I couldn't bear to put them ahead of the ones already on the list ( ... )

khazanchi January 23 2006, 20:29:55 UTC

You got the ps2 version of burnout: revenge didn't you? :p ( ... )

serioussam January 24 2006, 10:23:18 UTC

I rarely buy any multiplats for the X-box. The PS2 games here are cheaper. I do miss live, though, but since it's not available here, can't help it much ( ... )

I think you mean under the kannife for number 8 :)

Anywho, I'm back to playing TA after having read a preview of Supreme Commander: http://archive.gamespy.com/landing/supremecom/

You MUST read! You MUST drool! You MUST follow the command of the supreme commander and buy your weird friend a copy.

khazanchi January 23 2006, 20:33:38 UTC

May I recommend the absolute annihalation mod for TA? If you want to get back into TA, its the only way. ;)

Some friends of mine introduced me to it recently. It takes the best things about TA, refines them somewhat and let's you get on with it.

Krogoths for the win!

arunjeetsingh January 24 2006, 18:17:29 UTC

Thanks for that. Its on my download list now. Can't wait to get to work tomorrow so I can download it ;)

Oh wait, did I just say I can't wait to get to work? Curses!

serioussam January 24 2006, 09:54:31 UTC

I've read it already! I think I sent you the link some time back too...
Anyhoo, it's being made by Chris Taylor, the dude who made TA, so af course it's going to be awesome.
