Ooo, can I buy it? Can I?

I really want to play it ever since I read that review Tamara wrote. I wanna see if this game can top the Crystal Key, a DreamCatcher game which is so bad that I won't even let my worst enemy play it.

I enjoy Escape from Monkey Island, and consider it a good MI game, which is a big no-no according to certain MI "purists".

I liked EFMI, in fact I think it's the best of the four, with CMI second.

Heck, you can take it! But I don't think you should have any problem finding it on the net, and besides, I might take some extra money after all.
You really should be paid to play that game!

I simple love ever single one of the Legacy Of Kain games.

But I guess most people think that only the Soul Reaver ones are any good.

Heh, that's my favourite line

erwin: Stupid Invaders is bad, but if you want to try something totally dismal, the true bottom of the heap, I told ya, ya gotta try Time Machine .. now that will make Crystal Key look like Gabriel Knight. I couldn't even play enough of it to review it, I just bailed out .. that bad.

Not only according to purists.

But enough about that, it's already been discussed way too many times.

I liked EMI. Not my favourite, though. But I liked Kings Quest 8 best of all the Kings Quests.....

Me too, on both counts, but my interest in both quickly dwindled and I don't much like either now.

The Original Blood Omen is one of my favourite games. I also like Spycraft and Daggerfall
