fuzmeister: Behind The Curve

---

So I've been playing Doom 3, it's atmospheric, designed well, and quite scary. It's no Half Life 2 though - honestly, that game boosted my standard for modern FPS games in a way I can't describe.

Seriously, that game is really freakin' awesome. It's not even the physics, the graphics, or the maps - it's just the entire package as a whole. It is so well executed and enjoyable.

I've been playing through the Episode 1 expansion, but I don't find it to be quite as compelling. Still great though.

I will say that I'm surprised how well Half Life 2 performs in comparison to Doom 3. For a game that's four years old, Doom 3 still has some slow down on this machine (though the video card isn't that great, so that's probably why).

Ah, well. On with the mission, marine.

fuzmeister: Inherit The Tech

So I "inherited" Kate's "old" computer and bought Portal yesterday. So far, it's really great - definitely an achievement in design.

fuzmeister: Crossover Madness

Now I'm not usually for huge crossovers that make no sense, but I am actually quite excited for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.



This is bad since I don't have a 360 or PS3...

My friend Shawn got me playing Maple Story. Yikes. Let's hope it's not a gateway to WoW playing/addiction. I've steered clear of that for several years and would like to keep myself from getting involved with that game/drug.

fuzmeister: Is Anybody Else Excited For The Conduit?

---

This video demonstrates some of the technical features in The Conduit. It looks quite arcade-y in gameplay, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I could see myself really enjoy a quick dive into an arcade-ish shooter if the controls are done well. There have been previous attempts at shooter controls on the Wii and only some have succeeded.

I'll definitely give this one a rent when it comes out.

Side-note: I've been playing NiGHTS on Wii. It's quite fun.
