Finally got around to finishing Half Life 1. Oh, and Bone 1 shortly after that.

[Jelena]

I finally finished Sentinel tonight. I've had it on my computer for months, if not a year and always found other games more interesting.
It's a great puzzle game though with beautiful graphics. No story IMO and I guess that's why I left it for such a long time.
Anyway, an urge to look for clues, draw maps and solve logic puzzles made me bite into it again.

Bone: The Great Cow Race.

[Maquisard]

Half Life: Opposing Force

[JemyM]

Alone in the Dark 2 (6/10)
Nice plot but very annoying combat.

Alone in the Dark 3 (7/10)
Better plot and better told story, slightly less annoying combat.

Waxworks (7/10)
Four scenarios. Pyramid was annoying (just walking around in a large trap-infested insta-kill dungeon bashing opponents), Cemetary was very short and overfilled with combat. London and Mine was cool though (and definitely the most adventurefocused parts).

Time to start working on the Elvira series.

10 = Worth buying collectors edition
9 = Great
8 = Recommended unless you hate the genré
7 = Not for everybody but I enjoyed it
6 = Probably for fans only
5 = Definitely for fans only
4 = Would probably not even recommend this for fans of the genré
1-3 = So poor I probably would not finish it so you wont see about it in this thread

Cool! Oh man, I wish Horrorsoft would have been making these forever. I was so excited seeing a company focusing on gory horror games at that time... Did you finish Waxworks without a walkthrough? Oh, and I thought the cemetery section kicked major butt. I still remember the day I got my copy, opened the heavy box (WTF? 10 disks), a friend came arround, I let him play. He knocked off a zombie's head with his bare fists, couldn't kill it and ran like crazy. Only to realize the zombie (minus its head) was still after him! That was.. amazing. My heart was racing like crazy later that night and I was playing with the lights on.

A couple of days later another friend was so excited that he told his mom about this cool new game he's going to buy in which you're getting your insides turned out by undead, your arms and legs removed by a mutant plant, and countless other cruelties. Needless to say, mom said: "NO!"

Waxworks was one of the games I wanted to play when I was younger but never got my hands on. I remember I glared on a walkthrough in a computer magazine that also had more screenshots from the game and I avoided to read the text so it wouldnt spoil me. I am a fan of both horrorgames and roleplaying games so Waxworks was kinda meant for me.

Although with the really old games I use walkthroughs theese days. I have too many games that I like to play through and I mostly go for the story/experience not so much chasing puzzles.

The zombiebashing was fun, but the Cemetary part was very short.

Did you play the Amiga version? The music totally owns the horrible Adlib sounds of the PC version. You can find most tracks here: http://www.nemmelheim.de/horrorsoft/ The only thing you need to play them is that mod plugin for your browser linked to when you get there. It also plays mod files from the zip-files you can download in the music section of that site. All you need to do is to unzip them and to type the file's location into your browser bar. Weeee, memories!

Yeah, the Amiga mod's was much better than the PC music for sure. Especially the Cemetary. One hint for Horrorsoft is to use Roland as your soundcard instead of Soundblaster, which improves the music quality a bit. Not a great deal though. Im sitting with Elvira 2 now. I wish I could use the .mod music instead of the midi

Elvira (7/10)
Somewhat annoying combat and several difficult to navigate/deadly mazes. Non-linear.

[guyver1]

I rented it wednesday and finished it friday pretty short I rented it but the character and game play was awesome 2 player not so great but i am putting it on my christmas list

[MoriartyL]

Bone: Out from Boneville

An empty shell.

2/5

I wrote up a more complete review, in which I argue that this game could actually detract from one's appreciation of the original, in this post.

Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising

A good idea (RTS with vehicles you can drive yourself), starts well, becomes boring.

[MadTricks]

The Secret of Monkey Island

YAY! Holy Monkey Bladder!!
Finally Completed, first time... I know...shoot me..
Best humor and jokes that game can give you. I have never laughed so hard at computer game, in positive way.
Graphics were great, so was the story.
Puzzles were hard enough to make me use walkthrough.
Great game, just great.

8.5/10


Next big adventure: "Grow a mustache"

7/10

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

A good blend of stealth and action. I liked all the bosses, and the characters were interesting. I played it on easy, which was too easy, so I'll play it on hard next.

silent hill 2

great game, i got the 'leave' ending.
are there any REALLY good reasons for me to play it again, considering i can see the other endings on YouTube?

silent hill 3 will be purchased soon!

Several unlockable weapons, but I think that's it. I had more fun with unlockable weapons in SH3, some of them are really crazy.
