  1. Hahaha, well at least if you had it, you could go to school and act like gullem or however its spelled
  2. Game: Age of Mythology/Expansion The Titans System: PC Emulators: None Ahhh, I planned to write a review every other day, but I missed my last one So I'll write one today, my b-day anyways, on with the review. Has anyone ever played Age of Empires 1 or 2? These are great strategy games by microsoft, and next in the line would be Age of Mythology. This is a very good strategy/war game. As in Age of Empires 1 or 2, you control your armies which you build with the available resources you have. In Age of Mythology, they added a nice twist to it by adding god powers. The god powers come from the various gods you choose for your people to worship. You start out worshipping one main god (there are 3 from Greek, 3 from Egyptian, and 3 from Norse. Also there is 3 from the Atlantean mythology with the expansion). Just like in Age of Empires 1/2, you upgrade through the ages, but at each upgrade you must choose between 2 minor gods to worship. These gods will give you more god powers. The higher the age, the stronger the power will get usually. There are many modes in the game you can play, but the main 3 are campaigns, multiplayer, and single player against the cpu. This is game may be a bit confusing to summarize. In a single player game, you start out usually with a town center, which is your main building, and a few villagers. The villagers are a vital part to any town. They are not the best fighters, but they build and gather resources so that your town may grow. You will need these resources to build more buildings, upgrade through times, build armies, etc. Resource gathering requires some patience, but the more upgrades you get for resource gathering, the faster your resources come in. As with usually all strategy games, patience is a virtue. It may be hard to wait for your army to be built, so if your very impatient, I don't really recommend this game, but you still might want to try it out. Each race (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, and Atlantean) have their own units and buildings. Many buildings are the same however. Atlantean race is only available with the AOM expansion pack which is called The Titans. Each race has their own advantages. One's units may be weak but fast, and anothers may be strong but expensive. Basically, you just have to try out each race, and find which one suits your needs. Then, when you find out which one you like the most, you develop fighting strategies, and will eventually become a great leader of your armies. This game is great to play over long periods of time. Each game usually lasts around an hour. This may sound boring, but its usually pretty fun. A great thing about AOM is that its multiplayer mode has its own server, similar to Starcraft's Battle.net. You won't need to use MSN gaming zone like you did in Age of Empires. This is a great game for anyone who is interested in mythology, strategy based games, or just wants a good game to play. As for prices here in the U.S., last time I checked I believe AOM itself was still $50, but it could have dropped to $40. The expansion pack was $30, but sometimes you can find it for cheaper. Speed - 9 Gameplay - 10 Graphics - 9 Sound - 10 Overall Score - 9.5 Grade - A Overall I give this game a
  3. Gotta admit Cinder, takes a big man to say what you did lol, its good that you can spread your own opinion freely, admirable quality
  4. Lotsa Audioslave, but currently Red Wing - Place to Be
  5. I agree, lol jk of course but 2D fighters rock Cinder. They may not all be original, but they are real fun to play.
  6. Sounds pretty cool. I was just wondering b4 I start to download it if I do, how fast did it go for you if you have cable/dsl?
  7. http://retroroms.official-website.net/modules/news/ I think its in the bulk downloads area of this site. Credit to James for the site
  8. Lol I didn't know you were keeping track of the trivia you type real fast, but I'll try to keep up. Did you get file sharing up in your channel?
  9. hard is really hard lol. Are you playing the GC version or PC/PSX version? In my opinion, I would say that the GC one is slightly better, not counting graphics. Anyone a big fan of RE games?
  10. I didn't know they made this game for PC, is it any good bsides the bugs? I mean control wise, but I guess its easier because you use the mouse. Is it in another language? I had HOD 2 but it was half in japanese.

    Snes

    I see. Hey another quick question lol. How come sometimes while playing MAME on kaillera, it seemed like you went into a different game? I would still be playing, but it would be like the Cpu and u'd be in a different game. That was when I had 56k though, maybe thats y?
  12. I thought it was pretty cool how in the Gamecube version of RE 1 they changed so much. To me it was almost like a whole new game. The whole trevors thing (that was their last name rite? I havent played it in a while) was pretty cool, added to the creepiness of the game
  13. Lol along with this thread I guess, but anyone know where I can find an MP3 of the theme from Age of Mythology?

    Snes

    Well when that happens, I'll gladly play any TMNT games with anyone along with that, any of the great multiplayer SNES games. On another note, I was thinking that Mario Party would be a great game to play on kaillera. N64 works with Kaillera rite? Anyone every try that game on kaillera?
  15. Thats real harsh, you didn't find ANY humor in that game??? I thought it was QUITE good But as you said, everyones opinion is theirs.
  16. Did anyone have any luck finding out a way to play snes on kaillera? Theres some pretty cool/fun multiplayer games for it
  17. Game: Postal 2 System: PC Emulators: None One thing I gotta say about this game, "wheeeee" I first got this game because I was looking for a good FPS that you could have some fun with. By far this is one of the most free, fun FPS's i've ever played. The great thing about this game is that its just like real life, except its just a bit more hectic. Ok, A LOT more hectic, but thats why its fun. You start out in a small, rural town in Arizona called Paradise. Don't be fooled by the name, this town is NOTHING like paradise hahaha. Your name, oddly enough, is Postal Dude. P Dude's house is actually a trailer in which he lives with his wife/girlfriend. Your job: run errands. Sounds stupid? Just give it a try. Its hilarious what you can do in this game. There is a wide variety of weapons. Anything from stun guns to rocket launchers, from diseased cow heads to plainly just pissing on people. Sounds weird huh? You bet it does, but its weird in a funny way. Don't think that you can just go around doing whatever you want though. Theres cops out to get you if you are doing something illegal. Let me remind you though, this game is a little bit intense, but its not that bad. Lotsa gory stuff, but I think its a great humorous FPS. So lets see, I'll give you an example here of what I mean by freedom in this game. Your first errand in the game is to go and buy some milk. This is pretty fun, even though its just the first mission. You start to walk into town and you can do whatever you want on the way. Go rob a house, go annoy the hell outta other characters, or just go galavanting all over town with your fly down (but watch out for the cops) Anyways you eventually get to the local market. Here you find the milk after making some racial comments about the store (I won't spoil your game's funnyness) and you can do a few things. You can pay the $10 it is, or you can steal it. Stealing it causes the owner to get REALLY pissed at you, he'll bring out his guns. Anyways thats what I mean by freedom. Freedom to do whatever you feel like to make you happy. There are also many various items in the game. Some you will come across are errand items, money, or health packs. One incredibally annoying thing about this game is the loading times. This game is seperated into parts, I believe it uses the Unreal Engine. So say you go from one part of town to another, it takes like seriously 2 minutes to load. Luckily though, the people at Running With Scissors (company that made Postal 2) came out with a patch that decreased loading times to about 10-20 seconds (thank god) I couldn't play the game without the patch honestly. I will rate the speed of the game based on the patched version, if I didn't it would be about a 4 or 5... Another great feature about this game is there are many cool NPCs. Theres Running with Scissors associates, everyday people, and even Gary Coleman. He is the celebrity guest star of the game. There are also many stores in the game. There are stores for armor, drugs, and misc. items. These usually cost a lot of money though. The game's "levels" are days. Each day things get more hectic, and you travel more through out town. Usually, the errands get harder as the days go by. You start of in Monday, nothing too hard here. This review is basically Postal 2 in a nutshell. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to have a great time with a game. It made me laugh uncontrollably at parts, its just that funny (to me at least) If your looking for a good laugh in a game, definatly get this entertaining game. I believe the price around here is still at $50, but it should decrease soon due to the fact that the game is getting older.

  18. You might want to ask Disoblige on this one. Hes pretty good at this kinda stuff from what I've seen.
  19. I recently was just at an arcade and spent about $15, $5 on food I played MvsC 2, HOD 3, and a few other racing games. There was this one racing game where it was pretty good, you were in the tundra or something and it was pretty interactive. I can't remember the name of it, but it was pretty good. Lets just say Diso is much better at MvsC 2 than I am
  20. Pulp Fiction O_o take a look at my sig.
  21. Goukens rite , I was impressed when I first came here as well. This my favorite Emu forum of course. That introduce yourself thread sounds like a good idea Gamecop I haven't seen this attack system, I might want to check that out if 1emu is gonna get one.
  22. k, thats cool. We just gotta wait til Gamecop notieces this post
  23. you might need the new neogeo bios. It fixed my prob and i had the same one.
  24. This has to be one of Capcom's greatest game series. I know that they made Zero-3 for Gamecube, but I kinda lost track, did they or are they gonna make Code Veronica X? I know they are eventually gonna come out with Resident Evil 4. I've got this movie of it, it looks pretty awesome. Leon's (the main character in RE 4) clothes remind me of Terry's from Garou I wonder what the date for RE 4 is.
  25. I guess this ones all up to Gamecop huh? lol
