Time To Play...Name That Game!!!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Final - no
topher - No, i've never had the chance to play that one
Recusant - Nope. although i DO like TA
Freighter - no
Taw - no
Frenzy - no
Lancer - nowhere near

i thought it would be hard, but not this hard.

The answer

ok, that was mean, i'll give another. this one will be alot easier

Platform: PC
Year: 1997, re-realeased in 2003
Genre: RTS
Description: One of the most well-known strategy games around, this game, and it's expansion, are set around pre and post medieval times. although lacking a 'true' 3-D engine, the game is popular nonetheless. It has a substandard level of plot, however, basing its campains and missions around historical campaings, thus reducing the replay value of the game, but made up for in the multiplayer aspects. the game has a total of 3 sequels (although one of them can be debated as being a sequel, but it does have the same two first words in the title, the same will all the other sequels). The game was produced by one of the largest software companies in the world, which is also the producer of the (arguably) most popular operating system.

Post Fri Dec 02, 2005 6:03 pm

hmmmm, this is probably easily guessed but oh well

Platform: PC
released: 2005(not giving exact date as someone would just google it )
Genre: hybrid MMO

description: a relatively new game that has sold over a million copies world wide in it's first year. This game is a fantasy based game with both balance PvE(player vs enemy) and PvP(player vs player) combat, you may have heard me rave about this game before. this game has amazing gfx that will run even on a low end system such as mine with only a geforce 2. It is a skill based game instead of item based such as world of warcraft. It also has a very good chance of being nominated game of the year i believe though i could be mistaken.

@Esquilax: I hate to burst your bubble, but Unreal (the original was the first commercial game to involve bots. UT being the pseudo-sequel, really wasn't the first.)

@The Game at Hand:

Platform: PC
Year: 1999
Genre: FPS

An obscure title designed a now non-exsistant development company, This title was the continuation of a cult classic developed by Origin Software. Built off the DarkEngine, and mixing in elements of a Role Playing Game, as well as heavy puzzle elements and heart stopping suspense, this title did not recieve as much recognition as it deserved. Critics loved it, but it failed to sell well in stores, leading to collapse of the developer.

Dragon - The whole point of these threads is for people to give the answer *without* using "Google", etc. At least, that's what I assume.

Jake - If you read the second sentence of the descriptioon *carefully*, you will see that I am referring to "Unreal". *Shakes head*

Post Sat Dec 03, 2005 2:52 am

System Shock 2?

*Assuming I'm right:
Platform: PC
Year:2000
Genre: A total mix: 3rd person shooter, base building strategy and racing at various points in the game.

A comic gem and totally under-rated game. Despite winning 5 separate game of the year awards and several other awards for best action and best graphics it flopped commercially. Quite possibly the only game to ever feature cockney space marines.
