Hell yeah. It's great, how many wonderful games are being released right now. I can't even keep up with them!

I recall a time, a decade ago, when there were huge slumps for interesting PC games which weren't run-of-the-mill shooters. I couldn't satisfy my game collecting addiction, and would end up purchasing crap I knew wasn't even very good. Now it's overload. Wonderful. :D

Feast or famine?

If I have learned anything, the answer to solving/ignoring all of life's most pressing issues is to go golfing.

On that Populous (called Godus); I certainly hope that video you linked contained placeholder art!

undercovergeek · September 02, 2013, 01:27:36 PM

Beta I think.....

As a dom III afficienado you're not going to argue art and graphics with me?

Bison · September 02, 2013, 01:29:29 PM

The art did look a little lame.

'pretty' some said - you're a tough crowd!

Bison · September 02, 2013, 01:35:29 PM

I never called it pretty. :P

undercovergeek · September 02, 2013, 01:37:17 PM
