Were the Blake Stone games any good? I do not remember how they were received.

MSUSteve · 2009-04-30T11:14:54.000Z

I remember enjoying Blake Stone back in the day.

yeah, i liked it too.

Demon_G_Sides · 2009-04-30T11:21:17.000Z

Wolfenstein-esque, but with Aliens and more destructive weaponry. Tons of fun.

Steam has Helldorado now, and its 25% off.

Pretty difficult to even consider that given that it is the same price as Far Cry 2 presently …

Even with the gratuitous cleavage.

I personally thought they were complete shit.

They make Witchaven look like Half Life.

Unreal Tournament 3 is ten bucks at Best Buy right now.

EDIT: Oops…Not sure about PC, but it was on sale for 360.

i don’t think i follow. they belong to different genres.

Platform? PC?

unbongwah · 2009-04-30T12:21:16.000Z

I think his point is that FC2 is a much better (or at least prettier) game than Helldorado, cleavage disparities notwithstanding, and costs the same. Doesn’t help that Helldorado is actually a couple of years old already, IIRC; it just took a long while to come to the U.S.

Oh? I thought Helldorado was a shootery shooter. There was scarce information about it last time I’d seen it discussed. But I recall it looking pretty rough, so comparing the two at the same price point makes it a bit difficult.

But I admit my understanding might be flawed.

nope, helldorado is an “action rts” that you control from an overhead view.

BigFishGames is giving away a bunch of stuff, including Fairway Solitaire, which is excellent. Free and awesome go good together.

Thanks !

I see. Sure would be nice if there were a demo.

If it’s super fun to play, I could see ignoring the relative price.

Jorune · 2009-04-30T12:41:43.000Z

I was pissed off at having picked up NWN2 ‘on sale’ for 30 bucks a couple years ago, and I’ve yet to open it. With this sale, I picked up both expansions cheap and now feel, together, I got a good price for it all. Thanks guys!
