Oh I thought I read it was a FPS... good. Purchasing now!

Oh and if you like Nolan North he voices the main character

[zero]

Well it's a video game with a male protagonist, so I just assumed Nolan North provided the voice.

I remember Yahtzee being pretty complimentary to it in his review. It's somewhat based on Heart of Darkness?

Apparently inspired by it, yes. But I've not read it so I couldn't say how accurate that is.

A new Star Trek game, this time a TPS, is coming out for PC and all of the current generation systems.

I wonder if this is the real reason that Star Trek (Abramsverse) 2 was delayed until 2013. If so, I suddenly have no issues with the delay.

All they have to do to make a Star Trek game is take Mass Effect, hire Patrick Stewart, done.

Don't forget Captain Anderson...wouldn't take much to dub in Avery Brooks as Captain Sisko in his place

Sniper Elite V2.

Mmmmmmm.

[Rocky]

Sniper Elite V2.

Mmmmmmm.

From what I have played so far... Yes.

[apsham]

I am expecting it to be shortish - but I'm okay with playing through again on Elite.

[Rocky]

In the 2 mths I've had it, I've only done the first mission :/

Paragon Studios is shutting its doors, City of Heroes soon to follow.

That is just sad. I had many hours of fun out of City Of Heroes back in the day. Well, at least we still got Champions Online.

[thatshortguy]

Yeah, there's Champions Online and DC Online, but...yeah. City of Heroes is the only 'superhero' MMO that really felt fun and captured that comic book style. Maybe we'll see an Earth & Beyond style revival someday, but I doubt it.

Edit: In other news, Ubisoft has dropped the price of "Assassin's Creed" PC version to...well, free. This is the first game in the series, mind you, but the "Animus" collection has been sliced in price, as well.

This game almost made me throw my laptop on the floor in pure terror.

Just got Disney Universe from my local library. I played through the first level and it seems like it should be fun.
