After wondering what game to play next for a bit the other day I decided on Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance<\/a>. I’d picked it up a month or two ago because I’d heard it was okay (but nothing special) and was on sale for like $11. I figured for a price like that even if I got 10 hours of play out of it, I’d have gotten my money’s worth. So far I’m really digging the game. It has that kinda Diablo feel, which I also think of as the Angband\/Nethack feel. It’s even got something called Recall to teleport you back to the safety of town and to go back to where you were last in the dungeon. There’s a little bit of plot to hold things together, but in the end this feels a lot like your basic arcade style dungeon crawl. I’ve got to say I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit, more than expected.<\/p>\n

Now, one of the new games I’m awaiting is Armed and Dangerous<\/a> from the good people over at Lucas Arts. These guys can really put out amazing stuff when they are in the right mood. This game looks to be a bit of a first person shooter, but the storyline looks fun. And the trailer is really funny<\/a>, the voice acting sounds amazing. Maybe that one will be a birthday precent to myself.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and last but not least I’ve been playing The Golden Sun<\/a> on my GBA. It’s quite fun and easy to just pick up for a few when I can’t sleep in the middle of the night. I can’t help it, I love console RPGs.<\/p>\n

Oh, and next up after Baldur’s Gate, I take the plunge into Silent Hill 1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
