Well, I picked up No One Lives Forever

Well, I picked up No One Lives Forever. I'm fairly impressed. The dialog is funny and the gameplay is quite good. There's a lot of scripted sequences that are reminiscent of Half-Life. It's a new game engine, and it shows a bit. I've had a fair amount of crashes (a half-dozen or so), though it could just be that I recently upgraded my BIOS, video card drivers, and DirectX. It's a nice diversion until next year when the anticipated Neverwinter Nights comes out.

I haven't played a first-person shooter for a long time - since Deus Ex. That was a great game, and this one doesn't quite measure up. Still, it's really good overall and I'd recommend it to anyone (or you could borrow it). In the game, I just picked up the submachine gun. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to empty a clip into onrushing bad guys . . .
