    Braid

    http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/braid/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=multimodule&tag=multimodule;picks;title;3 Wow, this is the first platformer (if it is even a platformer) that I've liked since Psychonauts.

    The cake is a lie!

    While short, Portal has one of the best end sequences I can remember in a game. Funny and creepy at the same time.

    Team Fortress 2

    Two thumbs way up. :goodjob:

    Jomt?

    The question everyone wants to know, does it have the Just One More Turn even though I will only get 4 hours of sleep if I quit right after the next turn feeling? Surely, that wouldn't break an NDA to answer.

    Ditch the winfixer ad

    It is stealing the browser and can only be stopped from the task manager.

    What if...

    I contend that it is impossible to make a game everyone will be happy with. What if Firaxis got a crack team of Civ fans (and maybe a few well-spoken detracters) with various styles and preferences, locked them away at their secret HQ, and made a game this select team was happy with. While...

    Play like a nation or play to win?

    Which would you prefer, that the AI plays like a real nation or playing like an opponent who is trying to win the game? (Or something else?)

    We ought to close this forum

    It's just plain too late. At this stage of the development (heck, months ago), Firaxis no doubt will only consider changes that are very minor modifications of what they are implementing already. If they aren't in the tweak and polish phase by now, they will have little chance of making their...

    Wonderful article on Civ4 modding in Game Developer Magazine

    Lots of new stuff here. For example, the unit formation editor, hot swapping of assets, Python scripting for the WorldBuilder, a Python interpreter console, L-System city building, Python editible UI, colored map overlays, and more. Since it's a four page article, I will tell just one...

    I think all country bashing should be disallowed on this forum

    Well, I do. It is flaming of people by extension and flaming is not allowed. If I were a mod there would be none of it allowed here.

    I guess they should switch to 2D...

    Now that it has been discovered that 3D graphics have been patented and all game companies and hardware manufacturers are being sued for using 3D. Of course 2D might not be allowed either since some of their other patents cover text and sprites...

    Civ5 discussion

    Since Civ4 won't make people some happy because it will still fundamentally play like Civ (see Soren's GDC presentation), maybe it's time to start discussing radical changes so that they can be incorporated in the next go round. :joke:

    Would you pay $75 for Civ4 with Wonder Movies?

    Would you rather pay $75 for Civ4 with Wonder Movies or $50 without them.

    Less realism!

    Is realism what we really want in a game? The rising expectations of realism killed the wargames and military flight sim markets. It was costing more to make a realistic flight sim that would make the customers (and maybe more importantly the reviewers) happy with their rising expectations...

    Fix to Rise of Rome problem

    Here is a fix to this problem: Put this file in Conquests\Conquests\Rise of Rome\Art\city screen\ and it will work correctly. You won't even have to start the game over (although you will have to exit it). :cool:

    Trivial mod to fix Landmark Diamonds

    This gets rid of the wierd green line that you get on landmark terrain when you turn on the diamonds (show food/shields in the game or anytime in the editor). Put in your conquests/art/terrain directory in place of the one there.

    Firaxis/Breakaway please reconsider bombardment

    I don't like the new bombardment at all. At first most players will like it, but I think the more competitive players will realize how easy the game becomes with it (especially concidering that the AI eschews use of arty). I'd recommend either allowing the Collateral Damage flag to work with...
