recently, as in today, i decided to try a quake1 modernized port..but first! some memories… i remember quake1 coming out years ago. it was big news that even made it to the mainstream newspapers. i think this happened because of the phenomenon doom created. quake was supposed to be a medieval dark fantasy game and […]

stronghold is a medieval themed RTS that came out in 2001. i’m fairly sure my friend howard had bought a copy of it when it came out. i played it back then and enjoyed it, but never in depth. recently, i’m playing the whole game through. despite just the cool idea of being able to […]

darkstone is from 1999. i think that’s the year i first played it. it’s an rpg like diablo, but with 3d graphics. i can’t recall if i ever finished it back then or not. the bad stuff: pretty cheap voice acting. the good stuff: fun to play to be continued…

just recently began playing bf2 again. here’s a reminder…for setting up the dedicated server w/ bots you need at least patch 1.3+ (i believe). i used to know that years ago but forgot. the game is not as cool as i remember it, that’s probably because i’ve played call of duty 4 since then. COD4 […]

just started playing icewind dale..what an unfun, uninteresting piece of something. super YAWN. in very much contrast, i’m playing earthbound (again). i played it all the way through on the SNES years ago. i think i rented it first before i bought it. i was completely hooked on that game. i still remember it as […]

I support what sites like SitC are doing, by going by the basis of preserving the videogame culture, so many whose […]

in 2002 these were my top 10 pc games of all time… 1. Warcraft 2 2. Doom 3. Wolfenstein-3D 4. Quest for Glory 1 5. Starcraft 6. Civilization 7. Quake 8. Diablo 9. Duke Nukem 3D 10. Age of Empires i still agree with about half of those.

age of empires 3 (pc) 11/2005 i was anxious to play this after seeing some trailers of gameplay. but really it’s more of aoe2 with better graphics and a different timeline. this time around it has true 3d engine as well. i played thru all of act 1 in one sitting. the plot seems thrown […]

i hadn’t played any pc games in forever. so i “fired up” wc3, something i played a few years back when it was first released. i remember the story being great and i still consider it so. i think originally when i played i disliked the limitation of 90 units (which is really less than […]
