Looking forward to HL2: E1 and Hitman, thats about it.

[Cool AN]

I finally got around to pre order Episode one this weekend. Can't wait.

[Kem0sabe]

Who wants to bet that Dark and Light will be delayed again? ^^

[StoneGut]

Can't wait for Thursday... EP:1

[Fubl]

Blood money and High treason for me loved act of war ...

[Borys]

HL2 Episode 1!

YAY!

[zyzyx]

Bit of a buzz about Juka and the Monophonic Menace but other than that...

(sorry, couldn't resist. I don't even know what it is)

Got HL2:EP1 preloading atm, the hitman games I can't be doing with. City Life came out in Europe a while ago though. Picked that up, quite good.

[Spigot]

I MIGHT pick up HL2:Ep1... I have it preloaded but haven't paid for it yet. It all depends on whether I can finish off a couple of these games that I'm working on and, oh, liberate my credit card from my wife for long enough to pay for the game.

[Evil Avatar]

What is Platoon: Season 3? Is that a typo?

[Spigot]

I believe he meant the Platoon: 20th Anniversary Edition (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F1IQJG/qid=1148913437/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-0580892-9713732?s=dvd&v=glance&n=130).

Unless there is some underground Platoon TV show that was released with nobody knowing about it...

[mkelehan]

No love for season 1 of Numb3rs?

[The Iron Weasel]

If I had money, I'd be getting Blood Money, and Episode 1.

[Syl]

HL2: Episode one and I'm really curious about Scurge: Hive. I don't know anything about it except for over year old previews and it seemed interesting back then.

[absolut taco]

What is Platoon: Season 3? Is that a typo?
You didn't know? It's a hilarious sitcom starring Tony Danza about a bunch of guys who go to Vietnam to kill some guys. Just like A-Team, there are tons of firefights, but no one ever gets shot! Or maybe I just made that up...

[Kefkataran]

HL2: Episode one and I'm really curious about Scurge: Hive. I don't know anything about it except for over year old previews and it seemed interesting back then.

Scurge: Hive and Juka and the Monophonic Menace are made by the same company. one (Scurge) looks like a Metroid rip-off while the other (Juka) looks like a Zelda rip-off. No idea if they'll be good, but that's what they appear to be. If they're well-done, they could still rock hard.

I'll be getting Episode 1 and then doing a review next week for the podcast for any of those fence-sitters out there. I'll also probably throw Hitman onto my Gamefly.

Who wants to bet that Dark and Light will be delayed again? ^^


From the looks of those screen shots it definatly would not hurt it IMO.... :p

[thecrazyd]

Also, Venture Bros on May 30th. Fuck yeah.

[Kamalot]

Hot damn! I'm ALL OVER Miss Spider! ;-)

[Kefkataran]

Hot damn! I'm ALL OVER Miss Spider! ;-)

You're going to have to push agentgray out of the way to get a copy.

[Liquidize105]

Dark and Light getting released?

Jesus, I'd never have figured.

[The Continental]

Dark and Light's semi-open beta apparently hurt it more than helped. I must say I'm surprised that they're kicking it out the door after all the bad press they garnered mere months ago.

When the inevitable however many day free trial comes out down the road I'd be willing to give it a shot, as a PvP centric MMO with a giant free roaming game world always sounds like fun.

[zrikz]

What exactly is Dark and Light? Im semi lazy / the website isnt very well designed, anyone have the spark notes on it?

[Pumped'Up]

where are the good games this week???

[Spigot]

I'm with zrikz. I've never even heard of Dark & Light. Granted, I tend to tune out most of the MMO's in development.

[Grimgrock]

where are the good games this week???

Is that a trick question?

[bapenguin]

What is Platoon: Season 3? Is that a typo?

Lol. That teaches me for trying to put the list together in 15 minutes before I have to run out the door!

Hey, she can do some amazing things with her webs!

[Kefkataran]

Hey, she can do some amazing things with her webs!

Dude, I have no doubt. ;)

[SexualChoc]

Hitman Blood Money is amazing, so I am definitley buying it now. I rented it, and it was everything I hoped for and more. Sometimes it's good living in Europe. :)

[Ultima Thulian]

Hitman for me. The series always was pretty interesting, and this seems to by far the best one, so I'm all over it. Platoon 3...errr....20th anniversary ed. looks good. 'Loved that movie.
