Oh yeah, I loved that game. I still have it, somewhere. I should see if I can get it running.

RE: America's Education System Is Fine

<t>Generally, I agree, our education is of a high standard, and Hollywood does over dramatize everything, not just school life. However, one thing I would disagree on is funding.To be clear, my disagreement is less about how much, and more about how its used. I think we could do with less if the ...

RE: What do you think of the United Nations?

<t>While I thoroughly enjoy B5, it is, after all, a work of fiction. It is nothing more than a story built in the minds of its creators.Look at the UN's "peacekeeping" missions. They are generally anything but peaceful. Granted, they are there because the region is already in trouble, but atrocities ...

I would, too. I never watched the anime much, but I always thought the concept was kinda cool. And the trailer looks awesome.

RE: New IWar Area

<t>Oh, you mean the ones that first appear when Maas Corp tries to activate the artifact? You know, I don't think that gets explained in the game. I think destroying the gate is the last mission, at least, I don't remember any after that. Of course, it's been a long time since I last played all the ...

RE: Canceled games you'd like to see uncanceled?

<r>Definitely Dungeon Keeper 3!! I had a blast playing the first two! Much more fun than Overlord.System Shock 3 would have been great. 2 was really cool (and maybe a little creepy <E>:D</E> ).I think they should have continued Sin Episodes, or at least one more to create a satisfying conclusion ...

I will be interested to see original films in 3D particularly the StarWars Death star trench and the Hoth battle from Empire.
The trench scene would be cool in 3-D, done right. Even better, 3-D I-Max!

RE: Genesis Rising any good?

I agree with n-blade. I didn't play it much because those types of games don't hold my interest long, but it seemed to run alright, and have a decent storyline.

I'm a big fan of I-war 2, and the original, for that matter. I run 64-bit Vista, and it worked well for me, though I haven't played it in a while.

RE: Political Opinions

<t>I'm afraid I must take issue with question 65.Are you aware that Guantanamo Bay is a U.S. Naval Base leased from Cuba, and is, in fact, on the soil of the sovereign nation of Cuba? As such, it cannot become a U.S. state, unless Cuba becomes part of the U.S., or is no more. And, frankly, its land ...

RE: Is science fiction dying?

SciFi always had its ups and downs, and always will. As s20dan and farcodev point out, it is never really been mainstream, despite the occasional title grabbing the general public's attention. It may be less popular now, but it will return, and then slide again.

RE: X3TC Update 3.0

I believe in "Dead is Dead" mode, if you are destroyed, you have to start over. I think you can save the game, but if you are killed, you cannot load that one again.

RE: Tron Legacy

<t>That reminds me a little of Tron 2.0, the game. Bruce Boxleitner was in that, too, as the father.I thought Tron was kinda cool; good, original concept, but the story could have been better. I think the FX of the day weren't quite up to the task of bringing it to life. This might be worth a rental ...
