Beat Deus Ex. Went with the Helios ending. Thought it was kind of creepy actually... But yeah the games was one of the best games I've ever played. I dunno which I like more Deus Ex or System Shock 2...

Probably going to give Invisible War a shot. I know its apparently not as good, but I also heard its overall a decent shooter. Worth playing anyway. Either Invisible ware or I return to Dirt and finish that one up.

I have some problem with IW where it shows the desktop whenever it loads a level and I don't know whether it has crashed or not. It totally ruins the immersion of the game and I can't seem to Google a fix for it.

If yours doesn't do that I'd like to know your settings and what OS etc.

Invisible War is a decent FPS, though it will always be compared to the first Deus Ex, as will Human Revolution, even though Ion Storm doesn't even exist any more.
Invisible War, from what I've played of it, feels more like Oblivion or Fallout 3 in a Sci-Fi setting as you can sink a load of time into side missions and such before actually doing much of the story guff.
I can't say I've found it difficult thus far though as there's usually a sneaky air shaft or back door that'll let you get the drop on enemies, and you'll probably use the sneaky bollocks approach as it saves on ammo.
Also, buy a black market mod as soon as you can so that you can hack stuff (ATM's will get back the 1,000 or so it'll cost, plus you can get an Omar trader discount easily with it).

I have the same problem running the Steam version of Invisible War under Windows 7 Ultimate, and a few times, it has died altogether and (rarely) lost some of my save data (it doesn't nuke my save, it just thinks I was in a different area than I was when it last saved O_o).
From what I've read after searching on Google, turning Aero off can stop it from dropping to the desktop when loading a level and changing the in game resolution can cut load times... Invisible War is a bit buggy, but at least it's not Daikatana
John Romero was (at least partly) responsible for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Heretic, Hexen and Deus Ex, so what the hell went wrong?
I say they look more like german/caveman then asians.

Nope, mine does that to. And just playing it for a little while I can already tell its a very 'made for console game'.

The dialogue is also considerably worse then the first game, the language they use is simplified as well. And the character models looks goofy... why do they rest their arms that way? They also show no emotion, which was OK in the first game because of the low poly characters but in this its a little jarring.

A lot of little things kind of turned me off. Like how the main male character looks like a douche bag. So I never even got around to any combat.

Just finished playin' Some TF2. While I have like no chance of getting one of the Golden Wrenches they added recently, collectibles aren't why I play it after all.

God, IW is actually pretty awful... not really enjoying myself... I'm either going to start over and play on normal so I can beat it faster and get it out of the way or skip this title all together.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APB_%282010_video_game%29 You could have just Googled it. Kind of surprised you don't know about it.

Anyway, temporary putting Invisible War aside. Maybe one day I'll be able to stomach some of the dumb design decisions. but now I have better games to play.

A close friend when shown what games I need to finish, chose Braid. so I'm going to play it. Unfortunately I lost progress when I just to windows 7, luckily it was only an hour worth. So yeah starting over.

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins - Very challenging.
BioShock 2 - Trying out plasmids I've never used before.
Illusion of Gaia - Attempting to collect all Red Jewels for the first time ever.
Resident Evil 4 - Running through the game on Professional Mode once again. Should be fun.

Good old Rezzy 5 those chainsaw guys were a bitch to kill, though when you have your grenade launcher the game is too easy (or infinite ammo rocket launcher).

Yeah, that was the first thing I got (infinite ammo rocket launcher) and the game became super easy after that but hilarious none the less.

RPG Making: S.O.L.D.I.E.R. Trying to put my finger around on what it could stand for at the moment. I only got all of them, except for E. Though, may change I.
