Is the headline a veiled reference to the defunct email ‘magazine’ that mysteriously happened to look kinda similar to this page, or just an innocent coincidence? You decide!

Actually, having completed the excellent Beyond Good and Evil (far too quickly) I was pondering what to play next over the forthcoming, probably rainy, weekend. Eternal Darkness on the old Gamecube device, which I picked up for £5 at Toys-R-Us and got stuck on within about half an hour? Should I suffer more indignities at the hands of 1337 d00ds in Counter-Strike? Dream of one day having a computer able to run Unreal Tournament 2004, never mind Doom 3, properly? Or should I have a change of pace and play Broken Sword 3, which I picked up for full price soon after release but never… even… installed?

Or Wing Commander Kilrathi Saga or Freespace 2 or System Shock 2, all currently being ‘acquired’ from the excellent site for old and underappreciated games, Home of the Underdogs? Or the budget-priced Deus Ex or Broken Sword 2, bought but never touched, or the equally cheap Discworld Noir and Red Alert 2, similarly bought on impulse but barely played?

Or should I just conclude that I buy too many games and do something else? Aside from hopefully a few online games on the Melee Island map for Half-Life, that may well be a good idea!

I like the underdogs, but everything downloads far too slowly and only one at a time :(

I have to say, if you’ve never played Broken Sword 2, play that :)

I remember, like BGAE I also got BS3 before all you lot. I saw it in HMV, and was totally taken aback because I’d thought it was months away. So I got the internet technician guy at uni to download it for me, and then I never played it! Oh God, it always happens to me. I wonder what amazing game I will buy next, recommend to all, then fail to play myself. (Though, I’ve just finished BGAE :D)

If you find yourself with a spare £20 or so, Starfox on the Gamecube is like a longer, graphically superior version of BGAE. It’s exactly the same, really, except the story isn’t as well told. Highly recommended ;-)

Last Express! Last Express!

I mean, er, I also bought BSII and never even installed it.

Hey there. The Huz Experience would be a right pain to administer without WordPress, and would be overrun with spam for questionable knob potions without Akismet. Thanks chaps!
