on topic: Sam & Max - Save the World a.k.a. season 1 I took the weekend to play and finish the last two episodes. I loved every minute of them. To me at least, episodes 3 and 4 were a lot funnier but 5 and 6 were more challenging. The arcade cabinet made me laugh so hard when it said "I HUNGER" for the first time, and god, how I love those references. I have a code for a free Telltale game, I'm thinking of getting episode 201 and maybe finish the second season before the Devil's Playhouse is released.

Isn't Sam and Max 201 available for free? They seem to give it away any chance they get. Try to find out before you waste your coupon on it.

Thanks for the info. I check and no, only 104 is free at the moment. I'm waiting a few days before using the coupon though, as I'm really torn between this and the first episode of Tales of Monkey Island.

Assassins Creed 2

It's a beautiful game (outstanding "turistic tour" in Italian renaissance cities), the plot is very interesting indeed but, like in the first game, you basically run/jump on rooftops and fight with the same enemies (exept for the "bosses") from beginning to end. It gets a bit repetitive after a while. I'll give: 4/5

Just finished Neverwinter Nights 2
It is an enjoyable game, but the annoying thing about medieval RPGs is that they always follow the same pattern! Spoiler: I'm all ears for RPGs recommendations, though!

You don't need to play the first game in order to play the second one, even though the story is a direct continuation of the first game. The first game is nowhere near as good as the sequel, so it can put you off if you start with that(it's not a bad game though, mind you). At least that's how I look at it.

I have finished three "Let's Play" videos of my old favorite Eye of the Beholder and uploaded on youtube.
I leave nothing out, I make everything the game have to offer so these aren't speedruns. The first game I finished in 32 episodes. The second took 24, probably because I am much more used to that one. The third took only 15! Probably because my characters were maxed out by then. I doubt anyone would like to watch someone play through several hours of an ancient game while speaking broken english, but here they are; Eye of the Beholder Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Drannor

Half-Life: Source
Positives: + Combined with a HD pack specifically for this version of Half-Life - and added ragdoll physics, textures and lighting/shadow effects - the game's graphics look better than the original 1999 game. + Sound effects, especially for the weapons, have been improved. But more importantly though, music, similar to the pieces from Half-Life 2, have been added. These pieces make the major action parts more exciting, memorable and add atmosphere. At least now there's music during the end credits, which oddly enough, was never present in the original. + The main menu screen, along with the options, graphics, sound and control menus have had the 'Half-Life 2 treatment' - in other words: they're similar. This makes them look a lot better, easier to use and neater. + Just like the original, the FPS gameplay is great solid fun. There are plenty of enemies - human and non-human - to fight, puzzles to solve (though they're pretty simple), large levels to explore, traps to overcome, some mild scares (although, as the graphics are dated, this probably won't apply ) and a nice selection of weapons to use. + The game has a pretty decent length. + Voice acting, which is used sparingly - only when encountering NPCs, is solid. Negatives: - All NPCs look and sound the same. They also animate very woodenly. Unlike the superior (imo) Half-Life 2, there are no other characters you'll encounter that you'll learn about and grow to like or become attached to. Their A.I. is also pretty thick too. - This particular version of Half-Life is plagued with a few bugs. I encountered two specifically that prevented me from progressing through the game. Reloading a previous save made no difference, so in the end, I had no choice but to use the 'noclip' cheat. - Although the story was praised when the game was released, I first played the game only a few years ago, and I've been spoiled with much better stories in FPS since then. I suppose it didn't help that I played Half-Life 2 first and was spoiled by that. I find Half-Life 2's narrative more engrossing. On an ironic note, Valve were inspired by id Software's DOOM, but it seems that id Software, in-turn, were inspired by Valve's Half-Life when they created/released DOOM 3 as the plots are a bit similar. - I don't really like the outdoor environments/levels that much compared to fighting enemies in more creepier and rundown indoor environments. Although I much prefer the superior sequel, this is still a great and classic FPS that I have and will continue to replay. Overall:

Fallout 3. The ending is so stupid, I know it could be changed with an expansion pack, but still it shouldn't be like this in the original game.

Doom 3 story is almost a carbon copy of the original Doom's story (the game is a remake), i dont think they were heavily inspired by Half-Life's plot. Nor did Valve take inspiration from Doom, at least storywise, Valve did something completely bold and new. Well id's games were in some part important for Valve, it was the example they had not to follow, their games were the complete opposite of Valve's philosophy, and thats why HL was so successful.

I adore Half-Life 2, but Half-Life is still my all time favourite game.

I did say that Valve 'were' inspired by id, but I didn't say that id 'were' inspired by Valve. That was just speculation on my part as the basic plot/events are a bit similar. EDIT: On another note, when is Half-Life: Black Mesa gonna be released? I can't wait to try that out.
