Yeah, I bought it. It's okay... I got bored of it quicker than I thought I might... probably because the core shooting mechanic just really isn't all that strong when you get right down to it.

But if you want to play a REALLY good game:

That's a download link for X-Com: UFO Defense. It's a really old PC game, and also saw release on the PS1 (launch title, I think). Anyway, the whole download is only 8.5 megs, and 20 megs when you install it. But old as it is, it's one of the best games I've ever played, period.

But don't take my word for it. IGN ranked it as the #1 PC game of all time:

I beat Red Dead in six days. I was expecting it to be much longer, but it's still fun.

I didn't play that one, but I did basically quit a decent job when I was 19 to play X-Com Apocalypse. Top 3 game for me, along with Romance of the Three Kingdoms III and Civilization II.

How many hours a day were you playing?

I got Red Dead the day it came out and I still haven't beaten it. Too easy to get sidetracked playing the game with all of the side missions (although they can get a bit repetitive after a while). It's a great game, but I think I'm a bit fatigued with it at this point because it's so damn long.

my bro beat red dead the other day, i'm going to start playing it soon

 

[Safetydan]

I'm playing through it now. I, being a fan of the setting, have to say that is game is much more enjoyable than GTA4. Every aspect of it has me enthralled. 10/10

Any Starcraft geeks up in this piece?

Isn't it a little early to be padding your post stats beantown?

RTS games for the win. Use your brain more you first-person-shooter-idiots. Gamer chicks aren't THAT hot.
