:reads Krae's post: You've managed to out do me in the long post stakes

That is practically a whole new topic you've started there. Have you played the Thief games? They get stealth right, in a thiefish way.

Graphics over gameplay...I can remember when they said that about the invention of the 3D accelerator. Right now there are plenty of games that look good but have either little substance or repeat the same old hat as a billion other games, but as far as I can remember this has always been the case. Remember the plagues of doom clones, quake clones, age of empires clones,...



Games I have but didn't play much...empire earth, that was the game where I learned I reallyhated RTS now. American Conquest - if hate RTS, so why did I buy this? Black and White, nice idea, shame about the poor execution, endless droning villagers demanding goods, and very boring/crappy warfare you were forced to take part in. Homeworld, the camera made me feel really sick. Half Life, I got half way through the budget version and got very bored, this is one of the most over rated games in existence IMO.
