I like w4 better then Halo, though. :)

Black And White II - 8
RagDoll KungFu (ragdollkungfoo.com) - 7
Psychonauts - European PC - 7

I probably won't buy any of these unless I stop playing WoW 3/4 hours every day.
Btw, what's the story with Alan Wake? They've released so little about it yet everyone is going spassy about it.
All I know about it is that it has some nice graphics, involves a torch and a man hunted by his horror novel...

Well, at least the video was nicely done, you could see things in the end that looked like ringwraiths from LOTR. I don't know much about the story either...some kind of fantasy i guess...

It's a psychological thriller.. game.

Oh, it's our PERSONAL hype thread. Sorry, I was thinking of the majority hype.
Worms 4- 7
New Zelda - 8
We Love Katamari - 10 10 10!

That's pretty much all that I'm waiting for.

I bought (spelt right?) Psychonauts PC 2 days ago, Love it.
Currently trying to beat that blueprint tank thing. (After Raz witnesses the dentist guy removing Dogan's brain he jumps down the pipe and then you have to fight that tank made of blueprints)
I can beat the tank easy, it's just after it beating the brain thing that swings that green line around and you have to hit the bottom of it when it moves.

Could i just ask for a tip on what to hit it the bottom of the brain thing with...?
Psi blast? Pyrokinesis? Is it even possible to punch it!?!

and also, where i should be standing while it's swinging the green line about. Should i be within the radius of the line dodging it or standing well back and just concentrating on dodging the confusion bombs?

2: Not aware that the Wii is not a video game.so? this is a thread to list how much you're anticipating games. an entirely new SYSTEM is coming out. video game systems = more video games, last I checked.

Dark Messiah Of Might and Magic: 10

If it's Oblivion-like with better gameplay, by all means I'll buy it! I love hack n' slash anyway. Those E3 videos looked really good. Besides, right now I'm downloading the demo version of it (size of 1,4 gbs), so I'll soon know if it's a good game or not. 1 hour and 15 mins to go...

vmanc

9 Aug 2006, 10:24

There's a DEMO out?!?

Me!!!

9 Aug 2006, 12:46

Yeah. Right now. I just downloaded it...it includes the tutorial level plus the ruined building level shown in the E3 video. But it lagged horribly for my machine, I had to turn all settings to low. Strange, because I can play Oblivion really smoothly with all settings maxed out and full view distance.

(Comp specs; 2.93 Ghz Intel P4, 1gb of Ram, Ati X700 pro 256mb (overclocked), SB Audigy 4 soundcard)

Oh yeah, and if you experienced that stuttering sound bug in HL2, you will experience it again on this one :(

Otherwise the demo was excellent. I think I'll buy the full version once it comes out.

No, you might run it fine, because even a person with an Ati 9600 can run it on max settings without lag.

I just wonder why I can't even though my computer meets the recommended requirements...none of the settings make a diffrence. I can play the game on 1024x768 resolution and all settings on low, but my FPS doesn't go past 10. I can also play on 1280x1024 resolution, 4xAA, 16xAF and all settings maxed out, but my FPS isn't any diffrent. It stays the same no matter what I do, and the sounds lag horribly. :(

It isn't a driver issue either, I spent the whole morning uninstalling and reinstalling those damned drivers...:mad:
