Re: Favourite PC/console games in different genres

No worries. In the late Fall or early Winter, I may be able to plan for DreamPC version 2.0

Not a major overhaul but some nice improvements.

Re: Favourite PC/console games in different genres

Hey piyush, After you alerted me to Assassin's Creed, I found I have an e-mail in my other box from UbiSoft on that. Couldn't download the Demo as I didn't have Quicktime and didn't feel like installing it. Ever since MYST, I have followed UbiSoft, as they tend to do a good job and the graphics are usually top shelf. coastie

Nothing is set in stone right now, especially with you know what happening shortly. If I do make the upgrades, I will submit a blog entry.

Re: Favourite PC/console games in different genres

Hi coastie. As far as i know there is no demo for assassins creed . I saw the gameplay on a friends PC and was impressed and then got the game .The game is actually a masterpiece , i was shocked on seeing the graphics and the AI is good . Fighting can be a bit brutal if you want to make it. I m really enjoying this one.

This was my first for this year , I will go for one more this year. I will have to make a difficult choice between GRID or Farcry2 (yet to come).

Re: Favourite PC/console games in different genres

Hey piyush, In retrospect, it wasn't a demo but a movie of probably the opening of the game. Anyway, no quicktime, no see. coastie

Re: Favourite PC/console games in different genres

Hello All,

Been reading this website for a long while but just joined up to ask a gaming nostalgia question -- I used to play the Final Fantasy original game years and years ago and was wondering do they make that original game for the computer?

I remember enjoying the game so very much but now I can't even remember how to play.

Anyone help me find this game (if it exists) so I can travel down memory-road?

Regards,

JJArms --> Who hear remembers this doll... er... action figure?

Hey JJ and welcome to the forum. The only platform for Final Fantasy was and is the Play Station as far as I know with the exception of Final Fantasy XI Online for the PC. coastie65

Not all final fantasy. The main one's yes, but Final Fantasy III the one that was 3 in Japan and they ported it to the Nintendo DS. Which is a great game by the way. I have also seen Final Fantasy Tatics for the DS, oh and theres that one comming out for the Wii..Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.

This is the opening for Final Fantasy 3 on the DS <3 this game. Its the only FF that I know of that you don't switch characters out of. You stay with the same 4 the entire time but can change their jobs. Tghe gameplay is much like the original games before Final Fantasy 7.
