I knew it was bound to happen. I enjoyed LOTRO, but it became too much
of an addiction and time sink. Great game though! I just don't have
the 3+ hours a day anymore, not with a full time job and 1 year old
son. Losing sleep + being grumpy over losing sleep = not good.

To all from the UK, it might be worth putting your views forward before this

It's coming out next week. Let us know how it is - am on the fence on
it.

It's like a mix between Darwinia and Battlezone.  Good stuff.
There's a demo available, although there so far seems quite a bit more to

It's $17 if you buy from their website, but $10 on Steam. Yay!

They also have Half-Life 2 for $10.
You can buy these online with store-pickup option.

fishing dock/pier? There was a Big Brother roaming an area with a
little sister, and you could get under the "docks" (wooden platform)
and you had to defeat the Big Brother before moving on.

At the end of 'Recovery' where you rescue the hostage I take out the
tanks and then nothing happens.  The next waypoint isn't triggered.
I've gone on despite this to see if it does get triggered, the next
level loads (Nomad) but still no waypoint on the map.  Played through a

Bummer.  Those folk at PCGamer (UK) sure know how to ruin your weekend.
Down to some questionable design decisions, the loss of some of the
atmosphere of the first and some sections being impossibly hard
apparently...  ;-(

Heading says it all.

I've always hated the fact that in Crysis I could never find dropped
guns in the long grass.  Played the good half of Crysis around half
dozen times, each time with the same moan.  Playing tonight and I
suddenly realise that the guns show up bright blue and white with the

Although not yet available on the PC, this game might still make its way
there in a year or two. I tried the PS/3 version of the demo and here are my
impressions:
If i had to sum up the demo in one word, it would be: disappointing. The
