At some point later today, I'm going to have another game review up on that link I posted in post 1. I'm not sure what game it will be on though. Probably either Evil Genius or Gratuitous Space Battles, but maybe on Second Sight.

Also, I'm wondering if Psychonauts and Beyond Good and Evil are under appreciated enough to be considered obscure...
Holy... :shock:

Do I know you from the SCEA (Playstation) forums?
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

I have second sight resting on my desk as we speak.
Finished it once, unfortunately not really worth playing through a second time as a result of linearity and the 'plot twist' being quite thrown in your face... and admittedly predictable.

AudioSurf - a puzzle/racing/music game. You plug a favorite song into it and it builds a "level" based on the characteristics of the audio - then you drive through your music!

Who needs a signature anyway?

Ah! Audiosurf! I love that game! Need to keep it in mind for future articles.
Hello members.
Look at your comment, now back to mine. Now back at your comment now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds.Anything is possible when you think before you post. I'm on a swivel chair.
