I finished up No One Lives Forever 2 last night
October 30, 2002 by Adam in Adam's Games
I finished up No One Lives Forever 2 last night. Fun little ending - cute and amusing, as well as challenging. It was a very well-polished shooter, one of the best I've played in awhile. I find that I appreciate well-placed humor in a game. It's a nice break from the earlier far-too-serious FPS games.
I'll probably turn my attention to Grand Theft Auto 3, finishing up the last few missions. I've also got my last module for Neverwinter Nights to do. I've been creating movies for each module, and plan to wrap up the entire campaign into an easy to download file when I'm finished.

Sam and I have done some serious gaming runs ...
October 19, 2002 by Adam in Adam's Games
Sam and I have done some serious gaming runs these last few days. He's discovered the single player part of Jedi Knight Outcast, and working his way through it. Being invulnerable certainly helps, and I've been assisting with the puzzles. Still, he's a big Star Wars fan, as well as a computer game fan, so he's in heaven.
I've been enjoying No One Lives Forever 2. The humor is top notch, and I enjoy the RPG-lite parts where you get skill points for completing objectives or finding hidden items. It makes exploring even more rewarding, as it has a real effect on the game.
I'm also working hard on completing the fourth module in my Neverwinter Nights campaign. At this point, it's basically finished and fairly well polished. I'll run through with the work crew next Friday then post it for the world to play. I had a funny bug this morning. There was an NPC who was supposed to join if you held a particular item. Instead, he turned into a badger and followed me. Fun with typos.

No One Lives Forever 2 showed up on my doorst...
October 16, 2002 by Adam in Adam's Games
 No One Lives Forever 2 showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Sam and I raced downstairs to load it up and give it a try. I think I managed to play about 20% of the time, as it became quite difficult to pry the keyboard out of his tiny hands.
The game itself looks quite nice. It's one of the first games that I can't crank up the graphics to max, a sure sign that my computer is over a year old. The game is also quite funny, with witty dialog and amusing situations. I'm barely into the game, so it's hard to give a full review, but so far so good.

Sam and I played way too many computer games ...
October 14, 2002 by Adam in Adam's Games
Sam and I played way too many computer games over the weekend. It started out innocuously enough, with a little Jedi Outcast among other outdoor activities. Sunday, though, it all fell apart and we must have spent six to eight hours down in the nerd cave. I was pretty sick of being down there towards the end, but Sam just wouldn't stop.
Probably because of all this, he's become quite good at playing games. In Jedi Outcast, he can run around quite well, jumping on to platforms and doing tricks. He's even picking up on the interface itself, even though he can't read. Once I load up a level, he can pick is light saber color, player model, and click "Start Game". The irony is that I'm pretty much just like him, only with better balance between computers and the rest of life.
I've got a new game coming in a day or two: No One Lives Forever 2. I hear it's really good, and I loved the campy humor in the original. It'll be good to have a new distraction.
