So, there we go. A fine month of wasted time and electrons. So... what have YOU been playing... in April 2009? After i/Lara recently killed the last Nephilim while enduring 'TR VI', no longer wanted for murder this month i got back to some real tomb raiding in: (2006-03-20) *Tomb Raider VII, Legend*         Developed by: /Crystal Dynamics/ (Sales Curve Interactive) Isn't she beautiful. I'm falling in love all over again. You say that to all the ruins.      (LOL. How fun they must have had when they thought up this.) [     ] Being able to walk backwards is missing but, with the freedom to always[*] reposition the camera behind me or however i wanted it, i didn't miss this as much as i had feared. [Check] Freedom of positioning the camera so i can really study the beauty of the archeology, the architecture and wonderful nature that my journey takes me through. Yippee! [Check] Being able to hang by my hands without tiring. Yippee! [Check] Hunting for and finding hidden treasures. Yippee! [Check] Mostly Tomb-Raiding from start to finish. [Check] Regaining access to the always slightly rearranging Croft Mansion again. Having a gym with an obstacle course to try out my   moves. Yippee! [*] Except for the 2 motorcycle-ride sequences, where the camera-position is uncontrollable, this game was a joy to play.

HALO 1st one Finished it. (Hooray!) TOMB RAIDER UNDERWORLD ...very best TR ever . FALLOUT 3 ...well I don't know about this...I'm in early stages ...just wandering around Megaton . But it had better start showing some variety ..all the interiors look the same..  Reminds me of Morrowind as much as Oblivion. MASS EFFECT ...really struggling here. I don't like the combat system. GOTHIC 3  x 2 cause I have a nearly finished (please God) game & a new one with the 1.71 patched version. I amazed how much this game can hold my interest in the face of my fury at all the messing around & patches.

FALLOUT3...well I don't know about this...I'm in early stages ...just wandering around Megaton . But it had better start showing some variety ..all the interiors look the same..  Reminds me of Morrowind as much as Oblivion. Mmm... I just installed Fallout 3 and tried it for the first time. After couple of hours I got out of Vault, and now look around Megaton. What can I say ? I got the same impressions like you did. To my disliking, the characters talk too much. I entered the Moriarty's pub, and now I have to talk to everyone spending tens of minutes sifting through their slow talk and/or menues. It's amusing so far, but I can go on only for so much without variety. Also, the feel of the game reminded me Oblivion. (I still have Oblivion left maybe after 20 hours of gameplay... I stole something without paying much attention on it, and now they are pursuing me across the whole ap. Not interested anymore !)
