Iwata Defends 3DS Pricing Think of all the money you save by not buying a TV.

"Portable video game machines integrate both a gaming device and a screen. You do not need any other hardware devices to be connected in order for you to play with it," he said.

Meh. I'd much rather spend an additional $100 over the ridiculous current price of the 3DS, and get a nice 32" 720p HDTV, which offers far more entertainment value to me.

You can't see him, the bodies, or other stuff in the last screen due to the fog of war. No characters alive = no field of view outside some fallen party members' loot where it was last seen dropped...

Gamespot has a pretty cool Goldeneye video.

It's that same level with the truck sequence again but the player's competent with the remote setup and it shows some things nicely. There's an instance of lower frame rate when entering the tunnels but it doesn't last long. Such set pieces probably reduce the frame rate often but that's okay as long as the main gameplay is smooth.

Also, I didn't know this game existed, it's probably some kind of local thing, but it looks decent. And it looks decent because it's the sequel to a 2004 Xbox game (and likely reuses a lot of things from that) and is also released on Xbox 360 (and later PS3), not because someone, even a small studio, took the Wii seriously. They're already doing updates and DLC the Wii version won't see but oh well, at least it looks like a nice port similar to the COD games.

Ticks are in the arachnid family, right? Figures they look like freaky little demonic critters since I'm scared of spiders.

I'm not into entomology, so I'm not sure.  The ugly little freak has 8 legs, if that helps.  These things are BAD, I've had them attach themselves to me before.  They are demonic, they are impossible to pull off, you have to do it the correct way, with tweezers, and they always know where an animal's blindspots are -- how do they do that?  So on quadropeds they get into the ears or behind the neck where the animal cannot lick it off.  On humans they go for the back of the neck or knee (so you don't notice).   They also get into...other... crevices on the human body, then they suck out your blood all the while spreading diseases from other animals they have gorged on.

And on top of that -- they look like they were designed by the Covenant!  My skin has been crawling the enitre time since I caught it.

I'm open to any suggestions for mouse-only PC games that are not Civ or similar.  I'm not in a situation where I can easily use the keyboard for gaming, and so enjoyed my time with SimCity 3000 that now I am done iwth it am looking for something else to play on my OLD PC.

I was thinking Diablo -- is it mouse only?

This would work, it's sweet. The same goes for most other Infinity Engine games too.

The Diablos will probably give you trouble as hotkeys become a must for things like potions later on.

Most adventure games (do try the first) should work fine. Basically, anything that has reduced/no real time.

I like Black Isle, so that first one might be the ticket, I'll do more research - thanks.

And you've tried Beneath the Steel Sky?

Yes, it's awesome, one of my favorite adventures. A bit too old school perhaps but with the retro resurgence I don't think you'll find the graphics bad. It's got nice pixel art, as long as you run it windowed at 200% size, and it's funny. The interface is modern. Outside using F5 to bring up the menu to save (anywhere!), you just left click to move somewhere and look at something and right click to interact. For the inventory you hover your cursor to the top of the screen to bring it down and then left click to examine an item, or right click to grab it and move it where you want to use it on the screen (or on another item to combine them) with another left click. The game's also fully voiced. Actually, I don't recommend getting that one through gog, the game's been freeware by itself anyway, not just through gog, and the gog installer comes with an older scummvm version (the application used to run old adventure games like that). On the other hand it's a nice handy package so if you can't bother going to the scummvm website, downloading and configuring the latest version of the software, and also downloading the Beneath a Steel Sky files from the same website to run with the application, then go ahead and get it from gog.
