TWO CASUALITIES

Since my last post I have suffered two serious casualities in my game stuff. First, Alex, the iMac G5, 1,8 ghz I used at my office was stolen. Damn bandits! It has been replaced by an eMac G4 700Mhz, that from the gamer point of view is not the same at all. Fortunately, I don't play at the office.

Second, my PS2 had a domestic accident when my son and his buddy were playing Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. The console fell from 50 cm., and when we set up again it, the disk reader failed. So, I have to buy a new console. Since September is not the right time to buy, I will await until October. May be I will acquire the Silver PS2 model.

More stuff
Previously to the domestic accident, I bought Panzer Front Ausf. B. I know it is not a top game. Game reviewers considered it rubbish. But from a point of view it has something, say, romantic.
Tanks models are not big guys (like Tiger), but small or medium ones, and this, I think, offers a special dimension to the game, more traditional oriented. You have to work hard to win. On the other hand, I agree that it is hard to keep tension, and after a while playing may be you quit in search of more action.

Lately I have downloaded three games. The first one is the Mac version of Return to Castle of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. I've just played once because my home Mac do not work fast enough and it is very depressive being killed one thousand times. I'm not a masochist at all! May be when I get a faster machine I will come back to pay all the debts (I warn you, guys!). The second is America's Army. Special Forces. I have played the night mission, but I failed, so I have to train more in order to succeed.

Finally, yesterday I downloaded Digi Pool, a mix of Billiards and Mini Golf arcade game. Pretty nice. Cool. I played the demo version, but may be i will buy the game. It’s relax.
