I haven't heard many bad things about it.<BR/><BR/>As a Mac user, I haven't had the chance to try out a number of big games in the past, but now that I have an Intel Mac, I have XP running on a separate partition and I can try some of them out. I've already started to take a look at Bioshock, Dreamfall, and Jade Empire, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.<BR/><BR/>Plus, there are just too many good IF games that I still want to play.Michael Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244248736498318137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387285221768321825.post-25548141500107131382008-06-01T09:52:00.000-07:002008-06-01T09:52:00.000-07:00I totally agree about Doom 3, and most games in ge...I totally agree about Doom 3, and most games in general--they definitely go on way too long for their own good. It's also a problem I have with many game reviewers who complain that a game is "too short"; a game reviewer's "too short" is usually just the right length for me.<BR/><BR/>Have you played Half-Life 2? This game came out around the same time as Doom 3, and while it was relatively long, the great thing is that gameplay was always quite varied, so I was always interested in it. It's a big difference from Half-Life 1, which I felt dragged on and on.Atulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087207250376663467noreply@blogger.com
