Sunday Night ShackReviews

Another week, another review of the latest entries to the ShackReviews database. Nothing too exciting this week, but this week's batch does include a mix of new and old games, along with the Xbox port of Morrowind, the first RPG for the GameCube and another mod turned retail product (albeit one that was only briefly available by itself). As usual, if it's not on the list or in the database, submit it!

I'm still making my way through Morrowind, and still quite surprised that I haven't grown tired with it yet. I'm also playing a few GameCube games, but for the most part it's all about Morrowind for me.

Uh, question- the Xbox Morrowind review is actually the PC review. The author states that he 'deleted morrowind' and never played it again. Can someone change this over to a PC review, as it remains to be seen whether the issue he encountered actually can happen on the xbox version.

Some kind soul tell us whether Morrowind is good on the Xbox. I'd much rather play on my couch than sat in my chair next to my loud-as-a-helicopter PC.

This said, a friend wanted to try out multiplayer gaming last night and I broke my Counter-Strike diet. I feel myself getting addicted to CS again and potentially neglecting my three consoles.

Morrowind still owns me and everyone in my apt as well, heh. I'm a lvl 24 nord custom class (2 handed axe + heavy armor) and I think the game is just absolutely amazing. My friend is a mage and it's like a totally diff game especially considering he is a member of the telvanni and he just got a stronghold.

Why the hell would you put up HL: TFC for review? Might as well start putting up all mods, or even better put up the original TF.

Been playing Way of the Samurai (made by the guys who made Tenchu 1 & 2). Excellent game. It's almost like the movie Groundhog Day, where you replay the same scenario multiple times, and you can choose to get through it a different way each time with the same basic ending (I think). If you're not big on replaying a game, I'd recommend against this game, as it just BEGS that you play it over and over again. Plus there's the afro samurai! AFRO SAMURAI!
