Well, I played for hours too. But most of it was doing side quests. I didn't start the main quest until after some time. Once you play Morrowind again, I suggest that you download Necessities of Morrowind. You don't have to install the main module, but in the archive there's also two other modules: Nymeria's Monthly Respawn (for alchemy ingredients) and Nymeria's Faster Walk which increases your travelling speed by 10%. Also, there's several modules adding readable signs (I like the ones with colourful writing, especially since it looks irregular and handdrawn, like chalk.) all over Morrowind, as well as signs to Vivec, to make navigation easier. I also like the "Book Jackets" modules, which add book jackets that are less fuzzy, and that often have the name of the book on the spine, as well as the alternate for some of the Book Jackets (like "Flora of Tamriel", which had a photo as the cover. Now it has lovely flower paper.) Oh, and I absolutely love how the Dunmer pronounce their name "doon-MARE" as opposed to the Imperials, Bretons etc. "DUHN-Mare". (Though I'm not sure if they actually do so in game). For completeness' sake: Quote:

I've just played The White Chamber, which I learned about on this very website!
http://www.adventuregamers.com/article/id,560 I can recommend it to anybody, or at least anybody who is attracted by the description "science-fiction horror". The graphics are stunning and the music very atmospheric. The puzzles are all logically solvable. And (apart from various ways of getting killed) there are two clear endings: "damned" or "redeemed". I know the review mentions an "illogical" slant, especially referring to the assembling of certain items in a certain place for no obvious reason. Let me just say, without spoiling anything, that when you begin to collect these particular items it soon dawns on you that you need to combine them; and once you've realised that, you also realise there is only one suitable place to put them. Knowing what you need to do, but not knowing why, ends up replicating the feel of being driven by an unfathomable compulsion, and is all of a piece with the storyline. The review's complaint about having to keep wandering back and forth is also a bit over the top. The setting is compact, with no destination more than three areas away. If you're like me, you tend to wander from place to place a lot anyway in an adventure, looking for inspiration. The only turn-off for me was a rather gratuitous sprinkling of four-letter words that were not really called for. I wasn't offended, just a bit dismayed. There is also graphic gore, which might offend some people, but what are they doing playing a horror game? I'm putting together a compilation CD-ROM of freeware games to send to my client editors for Christmas, and this one is definitely going on the list. |
Warhammer 40k Dawn of War: Dark Crusade
An "expansion" (it's actually a stand-alone product) to my personal favorite RTS for the PC. As the Necrons, I've defeated two factions, the Chaos Marines and the Imperial Guard, in the game's campaign. Okami I'm about three hours in. It seems I've entered a Zelda-esque dungeon. Bully Chapter 2. Won the respect of the Bullies, the admiration of the nerds, but the jocks and preppies aren't fans. |
Just started Still Life today....and im pleasantly suprised about this game.
Even more...im thrilled. Atmosphere, cutscenes are just awesome. Voiceacting seems to be good, graphics too. Whoa...I don't see why I haven't played it yet... AG score 4.5/5 ...:P |
I'm still on Act I of Neverwinter Nights 2. Confound this university work preventing me from having time to play.
I've also just started Condemned. And Tunguska. And I'm still playing And Then There Were None... |

Full Throttle: Started yesterday. Finished: Yesterday, five hours or so later. I didn't remember the game was that short (it's been almost ten years). Great art direction though, and seeing leeetle rabbits dancing on a mine field to Ride of the Valkyries cracked me up. I couldn't remember that either.
Icewind DaleII: Chapter 5 (out of six). Cool battles, I expected it to be harder, though, after all the fuss regarding its level of difficulty. Maybe I'm just getting the hang of the 350+ or so spells that made it into these games, but I had a much harder time in BG2 and Throne Of Bhaal. What with their sometimes ridiculous and a little repetitive UBER-level cast-protection-spell/crack-protection-spell kind of battles, which could eat up hours of your precious life. Only to find out that you just made a fatal mistake and had to reload an earlier save. And again. And again. I still don't bother with all of 'em spells. A lot of them are a little redundant anyway, but hey, it's Deee Enn DEEEEEEH, so the freaks are gonna love to just have them in the game (and flame our forums to death if we dare not to include all of 'em)! But hey, aren't they gonna do that anyway? Yeah, but.. Ah, f&ck it. Toss em in! P.S.: I like D&D video games. Most of them. I like Icewind Dale II, too. |
In NWN2, reached Old Owl Well. Have been kickin' a$$ n takin' names! lol Gawd, killing Trolls n Orcs is soooooooo satisfying. Took the newest companion, the bard, along. His intro cutscene amused the hell outta me. Getting sick of Ironfist, though. Man, is he stubborn!

I'm currently playing "Another Code" on my ds lite.. Just finished chapter two, and, though skeptical at first, I'm really starting to immerse myself in the story and the characters.
I've just read through the review of the game (this site's review) and though I agree with most of it, I can't quite see the interesting new puzzles this game has.. Most of the puzzles I've gone through so far are old classics, like the sliding puzzle.. My major complaint (so far) is that the touch screen recognition is terrible. I think I spent almost a quarter moving that *** rock, and I even looked up a walkthrough to see if I was really supposed to move it. I've had big problems with every "move or turn an object with your stylus" puzzle, with the exception of the iron ball one, witch actually worked well, and showed me how very, very bad my aim is.. |
