Never played Duke Nukem Forever and probably never will, but I'll never forgive Beyond Good & Evil 2 for taking the crown of longest game in development from DNF. I mean the acronym for the name is DNF for crying out loud, can it even get better than that! That's "did not finish" for those less into …

Almost every Google result was identical instructions for disabling driver updates through Group Policy Editor (copied and pasted to multiple unaffiliated websites), but I'm running Windows 10 Home. There seems to be a way to install group policy editor to home edition, so that's an option if all …

While I do like Max Payne I've always found the latter two thirds or so rather annoying. I mean, come across enemies who haven't yet noticed you, start a shootdodge behind a wall in perfect cover which immediately alerts the enemies to your presence even though they still can't see you, fly into …

I bought some games in the last 6 month and I just batch cleaned them this evening. There is a StarCraft battle chest (unfortunately without the strategy books) Barbie Fashion designer (with the special fabric/paper to print doll clothes for real 😄) Warcraft 2 + expansion (no manuals) Conflict …

And don't get me started on the introduction of set items, where a set is nearly impossible to complete in a regular single-player game! This is something we can agree on as a single player myself, the integration of battle.net and the seemingly multiplayer-oriented design has always led me just …

Diablo II rant incoming. I'm a simple guy, I just want to wear the heaviest armor and beat things with a sword. This means I've always went with a melee fighter types in RPG/ARPG's, ranged/wizardy types just don't do it for me. And I find this a bit of a problem in Diablo II. "Ranged, sir? Come in, …

Same goes for games which use some weird graphical effects that flicker all over the place, or have terrible chromatic aberration and motion blur implementations that can't be turned off. Yeah, now that you mentioned those I'll also add blurry AA to my crap list but this thankfully didn't become a …

Get well soon! Maybe play the original Deus Ex, so you show a virus who's the boss (-: Thanks! Can't really play something like Deus Ex though, I've been saving it for the right time to revisit again and my current half comatose state isn't quite it. I've settled with drinking lots of coffee and …

I love DOSBOX and I'm not suggesting that they rewrite anything that would otherwise work fine in DOSBOX. I just mean that those games wouldn't require much work from GOG, who I don't think spends much time on getting old games to work anymore. I think quality control is mainly up to the rights …

Does GOG do much work on old games these days? I find myself using GOG less and less because they have moved away from the Good Old Games days. I might be mistaken, but it seems to me like most of the recently added old games just use DOSBOX, which wouldn't require any work on GOG's end. Years ago …

After finding the last Star Map, I went back to Yavin to buy the unique lightsaber crystals from the merchant. They cost a pretty penny, but are well worth it. And with that, I'm all set for the final stretch. I remember that merchant giving a sizeble discount for everything if you beat him ten …

C&C: Red Alert 2 is my favorite It sets up the story and shows some of the units of the game all the while playing good music. It behaves like you are accessing some top secred military information and gives you 30 seconds to input your CD-key, I don't actually know what happens if you take longer …
