Well, I've moved on from Rome: Total War. The game was completely completed (see the previous post).

Since completion, I tried to go back to The Movies. It's a fun game, but gets tedious at time. And, with the ability to make movies, it's has some creative interest. However, the Movie Maker is limited. For example, I was looking for a simple death scene ... and there was only a "death in arms" scene (I think that was what it was called). There was no gunshot death scene, no collapse and die scene, etc. Anyway, even with it's limitations, it was fun playing again.

Just read a review on DarkStar One. As I am a HUGE Privateer fan, I'm certainly going to get this game. I love the space trading simulations. As mentioned in one of my earliest posts, I thought Freelancer was great ... but all of the missions were the same (go fight, kill, return). Hopefully, DarkStar One will not have this monotiny.

The preview for DarkStar One also mentioned that you will have your fathers ship, that will adapt and change to new technology that gets added ... does that mean that we can't buy a new ship? Hmmm. Interested to see how this plays out. Could be a nice feature ... or could be restrictive. What if I want to try another ship?

Either way, with few freelance trading games available now-a-days, I'm going to have to get the game and try it out.

'Til next time.
