First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 12, 2007 5:44am PSTHaving recently picked up Tony Hawk's Project 8 (a lot of fun), yesterday was the first time I spent several hours with the game spread throughout the day. Upon going to bed, and closing my eyes, all I could see was my character grinding around the level. This also happened with me once I played Tony Hawk's American Wasteland for a while, and pretty much every Tony Hawk game I played extensively before that. I don't know what it is... it is really rather silly. And it's not like I have this after a few rounds of killing terrorists, or shooting aliens or what not. But here, grind grind grind. Thankfully it is easy to put it out of my mind, but still.. Movie: Do as I say and you'll live!

so this guy won't budge under $375. i told him there's no way im going to pay him $100 to hand me a Wii. i said "i have no problem compensating you if you stood in line to get this, but $100 over retail is too much - thanks."
so yeah. how long until i should be able to buy one of these in the stores?

Really quick, I want to talk to you all about some of the trends that have cropped up in our comments. More specifically, this console war back-and-forth that's reached a fevered pitch around here in recent months. In a word, it's crazy. While we're all here to talk games and gaming, all the anger and sniping and signal-to-fanboy drivel as of late is ridiculous. So the mods have discussed it a bit and we're instituting a few rules to tweak discussion and keep the comments awesome. Check them out here:
▪ Don't act hostile towards any particular console or its users (including fanboy or similar accusations).
▪ If a thread was established to discuss one particular console, try to keep it that way.
▪ Don't generalize a console based on a particular game or type of game.
▪ Drop the martyr act that your system is unfairly treated.
▪ This all applies to those who prefer PC gaming too, the Shack is no longer about games on any particular platform.
If someone is breaking these rules, don't reply to them in kind. Notify a moderator or just leave it alone. Don't inflame things with your own reply.
The primary focus of the Shack is still to talk about games, and we don't want a hostile environment for that. Civil discussion and thoughtful arguments are welcome, the nastiness is not. So play nice!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled MINE > YOURS threads.

Now assuming they all come out and i buy them new thats ~£500 (10x 49.99).
While thats very cool and could work out to one title a month, sweet jesus i can't afford that. Even if i trade in it's going to be near £300.

With the game still needing optimizations, that sounds promising. Although my Athlon 64 3200 and Geforce 6800GT won't run this game worth shit, its good news for those believing you'll need a quad core system to run it, although I'm sure the Core 2 Duo helped a lot.

The URL should be pretty self explanatory. How about you shackers name others? I'd say Hyperion would be pretty damn insane to film, not just on the sci-fi budget and length fronts, but because of Rachel and Moneta at the end.

Completely seperate indie dev Tower Defence game, but it's very well done and cheap! Graphics are simple but work, I think it's a custom engine, nothing too fancy, but it runs well on my 2ghz MacBook with integrated graphics. Try the demo, it lets you play about 30ish levels total, over 2 worlds. The overall game is broken down into 6 major worlds, all with different environments with plenty of ambient creatures and sound effects.
The gameplay is typical tower defence, but bumped up a notch. You start with 3 tower types, you can earn 2 more, you collect experience to level up pretty much every aspect of the game, amount of money earned at the end of each round, range of towers, or damage of towers, etc...
The full version is $19.84, I think I'm gonna buy :( You get a survival mode and online high scores with the full version, along with the rest of the game. There probably isn't that much replayability, but I've had a ton of fun so far. I'd probably image about 6-8 hours worth of gameplay total with breaks, plus your support indie developers! Screenshots below...
