Currently featuring a video showcasing the developers' feelings about Warcraft, Blizzard will update the site over the next few weeks with interviews, videos, and a new anniversary Blizzcast. Over the past five years, a lot has changed in Azeroth. Valiant heroes have...

Holy cats, 15 years is a long time to hold your pee!

I'm with Rhywun and DaveyJJ: I expect it is an age thing for me as well. That, and I have a boat load of responsibilities and obligations your average teenage gamer doesn't have. Gaming (I'm hesitant to admit) is not my life. Accordingly, I would rather spend my money on a game that erred on the side of easiness than on the side of difficulty. I play games to relax, escape, and have a good time. I've got little time for...

Yep, EA was something else when they were Electronic Arts, and not EA Games. Both names are quite fitting for their respective time periods. I'm not even sure what "EA" stands for these days, though I have a pretty good idea about the "A" part. --Eric

If this one is true to the original, free or priced very cheap, and has online play, then I'll be interested. Graphics are important too. I prefer the old C64 graphics. I tried an NES version and didn't like it at all. Turbozilla's other game (Mad Skills Motorcross) is only $20, so I assume...

Wow. An Avernum game with the much improved Geneforge 5 engine? And an epic plot which promises the total trashing of a world you've been fighting to save over the course of five games? Sold. I've been waiting for this since Vogel announced this on his blog, and the minute I saw it was released, it was an instant buy for me. I just hope the GIFTS turned out okay.

If anyone has an ear for music, especially for video game music, I highly recommend this soundtrack. It's beautiful, soothing, exciting, exotic, dark and very thematic. It captures the moods of the levels perfectly and gives you a feeling of commitment to the game that i haven't experienced in a long while. This is the way a lot of game music soundtracks should be presented.

I got it a week or two ago, and it's an amazing game! Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, but you have total flexibility to pursue business (legal or illegal; manufacture, transport, taxi; in person or via minions), fighting (pirate-style, or opposing pirates; single-handed or commanding wings of ships), both, or other options. You're not locked into any path. It's also a HUGE place with lots of interactions and...

A minor correction: Worms was and is a Team17 franchise, not EA's. Too bad it's pretty much the only thing they're doing these days. They've made some pretty great games in their Amiga heydays.
