So I’m thinking of making some changes to the basics to this site. More article esque writing about game related things. There may be some shorter ones maybe some good old fashioned longer ones, we’ll see.

I have recently spent a lot of time playing Left 4 Dead, so expect that to show up a few times. I also plan to get a couple of new Bargain Bins written, focusing on Steam Store titles.

More stuff later.

A fancy new phone and a few new games later, I’m going to try and get back to updates.

I’ll be able to do quick post with my phone, so let’s hope I can get off my add and do this…

Well, I’ve been out and away getting sucked into Facebook and Star Wars Galaxies.  I haven’t even played much Team Fortress 2 lately…  I think I’m gonna try and get my brain juices flowing again and make something.  I do kinda miss screwing around in Garry’s Mod.  And maybe a new Bargain Bin Review.

No promises, but I’d like to do something.

The biggest problem I come across when writing these reviews is finding old games that will still run.  It’s surprisingly harder these days to get old games to work.  Since I’ve yet to build my ‘Old Gamer Rig’, I’m forced to suffer the effects of incompatibility.  So this Special Bargain Bin is an overview of all the games I’ve thus far not been able to review.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six – Covert Ops

Asides from the Splinter Cell games, I’ve only played one other Tom Clancy game and I can’t remember the name of it, but it was one of the first game with his name.  I was really looking forward to Covert Ops, and am still annoyed at it.  I honestly don’t know too much about the game and that’s also one reason why I wanted to play it.  It would have been a completely unbiased review, it would also be the first review of a game that I hadn’t played previously.

Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds

Galactic Battlegrounds was my favourite Star Wars RTS, I played all the campaigns and hundreds of skirmishes.  I spent countless hours making custom maps, only to then spends even more hours playing on them.  Some of my matches lasted over three hours.  When the game got expanded and they added content from from Episode II, I played devoted even more hours.  I was really looking forward to play it again, and I was able to get it installed.  Only to have a horde of issues getting it to run.  Eventually I was forced to give up on it, as crashes were too frequent, and I wasn’t able to complete a single mission.

Star Wars Dark Forces

One of the first Star Wars FPS’s, and hailed by many to be the start of a great series of games.  Dark Forces is another game that I never got to complete, and have only a few foggy memories of playing it.  Another game I was really looking forward to playing, but forced to give up.    Hailed by many to be a milestone in game design.  It had many aspects of modern gaming that you didn’t find in it’s era.  While some called it a Doom-knock off, the game had a custom engine built for it that gave it more atmospheric  designs.  Not to mention the main character is Kyle Katarn, any anybody who reads the Star Wars Expanded Universe knows he’s just bad ass.
