Tiger Woods 2005

I played this with Patrick for quite a bit yesterday. First off, shame on EA for not including Xbox Live functionality (which is in the US version). Other than that, it was surprisingly fun. A major factor in this was … Continue reading

TaQ – Electro Tuned

Over the past few days I’ve taken a liking to TaQ – Electro Tuned in Dancing Stage Unleashed (on Easy ). It’s a song I had positively hated before, but now that I “get” squeaky bits (3 notes / steps … Continue reading

Torque

I’ve licensed the Torque engine from GarageGames. It is nicely structured (in C++), includes a complete scripting engine and is multi-platform. The Direct3D renderer is simply and OpenGL wrapper, though (which is what the TSE update seems to be about, … Continue reading

Doom 3

I’ve gotten Doom 3 last week on Monday and have played it quite a bit (but I am nowhere near finished) and it looks very nice and it has made me jump more often than I care to remember. Unfortunately, … Continue reading

Full Spectrum Warrior

Little warning: Bought FSW this Saturday and for the first time the German version seems to be German only (i.e. I cannot change the language of the menues / subtitles to English). This pisses me off somewhat as you cannot … Continue reading

After having finished the “career” mode of Project Gotham Racing 2 (on bronze admittedly), I picked up Rallisport Challenge 2 this Friday. I was a bit afraid that changing from a city-racer to a rally game would cause problems, but … Continue reading

Twin Snakes / Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

Picked up “The Twin Snakes” and “Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow” on Friday. Been mostly playing SC:PT as that had me dying slightly less often (or more accurately it took longer to get from the last checkpoint to the place where … Continue reading

Fire Emblem

I have been playing quite a bit of “Fire Emblem” over the weekend, and have finished chapter 9. It is a very nice game (if you enjoy this sort of strategy/RPG cross-over), and somehow seems much more interesting to play … Continue reading

Ninja Gaiden

Ninja Gaiden rocks. It’s not too easy, but as I’m making steady progress it seems fine so far. Now it just needs to come out in Europe soon and preferably uncensored. Did I mention I modded my XBox? :p
