I would, but my computer won't run it.

Ah, the heroes series.. 4 almost killed my love for it. 5 brought my right back to it again though.

I've played Continuum, but coming from a Star Control 1 and 2 background I never liked the insane physics. Kongregate has a multiplayer space shooter called Starfighter: Undisputed Galaxy or something like that. You might want to give that a try.

If you fellas have not checked out the Fall From Heaven Mod for CIV4 it is a must.Take all civilization perks and put in Fantasy setting. Magic/swords/mythical beings, you name it its there. It is a complete overhaul of the game and once you get it working it is a brand new addiction.

Fallout3 is out... There goes my social life...Look at G4 to see the reviews. Damn near killed me, a player built anything launcher firing teddy bears...

I expect Fallout3 to be really bad game. First person? MAde by Bethesda? That just cannot end well.

I dunno, I liked Daggerfall. It wasn't perfect ofcourse, but quite good for it's time. And it's my understanding that Fallout 3 will have both 1st and 3rd person perspective.

They've been committed to remaining true to the Fallout IP throughout the entire process, and have what appears to be a very clever conjunction of the traditional Fallout turn based combat, and the ability to free fire as in an FPS - if it works, it's kind of revolutionary.

Beyond that, I read an article last year and one thing that stuck out, was that they had learned a lot from Oblivion (god I hope so, eh?!), and that while still quite epic in scope, Fallout 3 would not be so large as Oblivion, so that every place means something, and all of the characters really get the attention they need in order to come to life.

I am remaining hopeful, as Fallout 3 has simply been one of the games I've wanted to see for..... 10 years now? Longer? If it all goes well, I'd even be willing to shell out a few more bucks if they ported 1 and 2 into the new engine.
