Played the demo of Disciples III

I've never played any of the Disciples games, but this one caught my eye by the beautiful graphics. Of course, I couldn't make any SENSE of the story since it was the third installment, but from what I played it seemed fairly promising. Mind you, I didn't play much of it (only a few hours worth). It seems that a lot of the features are nice, the battle system is unique and there a lot of extra things you can do. However, the battle stragedy is what kinda sucked to me. Being able to move your characters around to do flanking and stuff is cool, don't get me wrong, but it seemed like I was just someone watching as the players just kinda... Fought for themselves. Yea I choose the enemy, but the amount of skills that are availble to you are just not enough to create fun battleing. Then again, I'm used to Final Fantasy and they've pretty much MASTERED the turn based game. Also, the game plays a bit like Civilization (where you have turns and can only move so many places per turn).

I'm gonna check out the other two Disciples games, but the first one may be tricky to find. It was made in 1999 after all :/. Oh! One more good thing to say. Disciples III is a fairly new game and, generally, my computer (which is 5 years old) can't handle new games even WITH an Nvida best-that-you-can-buy-for-my-old-computer graphics card andddd extra ram. Surprisingly, I could play this game without too many issues other then slow loading time. So those of you with top notch PCs this game will be BEAUTIFUL to look at :).

For the first time ever...

I'm regreting not having Xbox Live. It's weird, cause before I joined this website I'd say I was fairly casual gamer.... Now I'm turning into a more hard core one and it's scary O.O. I mean I played "hard core gamer games" like MW2 or Dragon Age orrr Acreed or some such (not like retarded uno or anything) but I wasn't "obsessed" that's changing. :/.

The Trailer for Fable 3

It was sooooo funny, yet sad! I wanted that chicken to escape T____T. Can't wait to see more hands on for fable 3 though! loved fable 2 (though i wish it had been longer). and industialism means there will be gunnsssss! and things that can blow up :D.... well cooler guns then the last game anyways ;)

Pirates! is Hard!

Gosh dang! I really don't even have the slightest GRASP on the game. It's all so, so complex (shoulda expected that. it IS the creator of the civ games after all!). I'm gonna keep playing and read some guides when I'm not tired and don't feel like reading lol. I found a SUPER long one............. Like beyond detailed. Pretty crazy. That's what I had to do for civ IV too. In the mean time, I've gotta find a fairly easy to grasp action-ish game. Otherwise, my brain cells will explode. Best wishes, Wonder

Sid Meier's Pirates!

Well... I'm gonna try it out. Gamespot gave it a good review so it can't be too bad right? :). Also, anyone know how good/bad Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands is?
