I usualy dont have the time to get through reading the whole posts made by Fladin... Vagin... Fladian, ouf...
Something you may not really know: Chasm: The Rift
A FPS released probably in 1998. Story:
There have open time channels in the whole world, that changed and mutated everything that was coming through them to this world. Our mission is to stop the "Time strikers", as they call those, from destroying the earth. Quite nice for a small relax, especially that you dont need to install it to play.(if you dont want to save) I finished it in about 4-5 hours, but still its nice. 7.5/10

My posts aren't that long, stop complaining. If I wanted to type long, I'd do so with pleasure.
Let's see...
Perfect Cherry Blossom
Back at the AR-forum, a game named 'Perfect Cherry Blossom' was mentioned and a lot of people started to play it. The first time I played the game was at my brother's place.
I wasn't really impressed, to be honest. It has nothing outstanding, comparing to other games of its genre. Except the music. I found the music good enough to download it seperately... and still listen to it from time to time.
The graphics are decent, and I can't read the language, so I'm not familiar with the story. The gameplay is very decent, and more leaning to the bad side than a good side.
Besides all that, the only positive thing I can name of the game is amazingly good music, especially at two places of the game. A tune of the music is something that I remembered for a very long time.
The game itself starts out (especially at 'Easy') quite easily. As a matter of fact, the first three (of the six) levels are too easy for words. Losing a life there is embarrassing if you play the game longer than a certain time. What makes the game better than most, if not all other games like this I've played - which were quite a lot, since this was one of my favorite kind of genres when I was a kid - it has a high addiction level. I've let some other people play this game as well, but most of them gave the reaction that they "probably wouldn't like it." But the moment they started on it, it was hard to get them away from my chair and retake my computer as my own again.
The funny thing about the levels are the bosses. The first three act-bosses are quite easy and if you know how to play such a game, they aren't much of a match. In the fourth level, you get those three bosses again... unfortunately, all of them at the same time. They are quite a challenge then. The next boss in the next level is able to control time and I don't know much anymore of the final boss, but I recall it being quite hard as well.
If you are experienced in such games, then the game is quite easy, including the time-controlling boss, the combination of all bosses together and the final boss... on easy. Naturally, the game gets harder on higher levels, such as 'Normal', 'Hard' and the final, 'Lunatic.' I never managed to finish Lunatic. I couldn't beat the final boss.
Throughout the game on a higher level, such as Lunatic, the game is often filled with enemy "shots", which you have to dodge like all such classic games. It often looks impossible, but you easily adjust to it. Though I also know people who never managed to adjust to it, and therefore didn't like the game.
Because I always liked such games, I am pretty good in dodging such things, and that has been easily visible in my results.
If you manage to finish the game without dying more than a certain amount, then you'll unlock a 'secret level', also known as "Extra level" (quite a lame name), but I could not possibly imagine how someone is able to finish that. I think I got to the very-final-ending-boss, or whatever you want to call it. But I never managed to beat her. I don't know anyone who did manage to beat her. Most of the people I know didn't even get as far as me.
But all in all, the graphics are decent, to bad. I'm not familiar with the story and the gameplay is addictive. The biggest thumb up from me is the music and the addiction rating of it.
Despite having much bigger games than that, I still play it from time to time.
Shot Online
http://www.shot-online.com/
I don't like most kind of sports. I hate darting, because I can't find the excitement in it. I only see darting as a game, not as a sport, which it actually is.
I don't like golf. When I was young, I golfed from time to time, but I still don't like it.
Shot Online, is an online golf game. It's graphics are better than I expected but it has no story, therefore it being an online game. I have yet to experience lag with it as well. Even when a lot of characters are on the screen at the same time.
There are shops in the game to buy all kind of stuff. Things to play better with, but also clothes to wear. It's been a while since I've played it, but it had quite some nice stuff. During the summer, I'll be reinstalling it.
It takes a (very) long time until you're getting used to the way the game is played. It's a lot harder when you don't know a thing about golf, like me. I didn't have a clue what's the difference about a wooden... uh... thingy or an iron.
The game is not as addictive as most games I liked, but it is a nice way to kill some time with. If you're a little determined and have the necessary free time, you'll soon find yourself trying to learn the way to hit the ball the best. It took me a few weeks to learn how to play the game the best way. My brother only used a few hours until he understood most of it. But then again, he knows more about golf than me.
Especially if you know more people, the game is a great one to play. Though I personally liked the game a lot more when some friends and me didn't know how to play. The moment we knew how to play seriously, the game became a bit boring.
There is only one giant bad part about the game though. It has been translated to English from... uh... Korean, I think. Anyone with decent grammar can easily pick out the mistakes from it. Fortunately, it is nothing major and everything is still very understandable. I know people who talk a lot worse

You can download the game at the site I've mentioned near the top of the explanation of the game.
Especially the people who like golf, this is heavily recommended, but I'm sure they already know the game them self. For people who don't like golf, give it a try. I don't like golf, and I still don't like golf, but I certainly enjoyed playing that game. Perhaps because of the many choices, or because I remained determined until I managed to hit the ball right.

I got something similiar to Red Cherry Blossom if i guess the right game type: Vanguard Ace
A very cheap game. And an easy one. And an old one.
You control a ship of your own choice, and mass destroy everything that goes on you from the top of the screen. A thumb up from me is the music, somehow makes me relax. And a huge downfall of this game is the graphics. Pixels on your main ship and other such can be easily seen, though the game looks a bit like 3D in some moments. I finished it 5 times from year 1997 to now. 8/10

There are many games like Perfect Cherry Blossom. It is in no way original, though that doesn't change the fact that I don't like it. I forgot to mention that Perfect Cherry Blossom is the last part of a range of games. All characters of the previous versions of Perfect Cherry Blossom were combined and placed in one game. They say that it was an effective combination and that Perfect Cherry Blossom was the best - and last - of all its versions. 'Scarlet of the Witch', or something, is one of them as well.
Splatt, I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with Comix Zone.
Sacrifice
A somewhat old (PC) game by now, but a while ago before I joined this forum, I downloaded the game again and started to play again. It isn't an exceptional good game, it is not all that addictive either, but it has much replay value. If you can relate a bit to the main characters - including Gods - of the game, then it'll automaticly be a lot more fun. If it isn't the case, then it takes a little while until you find one of the characters you like in personality.
The game is about some kind of Wizard. Whatever the past of the Wizard is, is never fully explained and I am pretty sure he was introduced in another game as they speak of many things that you know nothing of. Regardless, without knowing too much of the history of the main - or you - character it is still quite easy to understand the story.
The story of the game isn't very complex. It's about a mysterious creature - that is slowly explained while the game continues - that is planning on taking over the world. The base idea is cliche and quite boring.
Fortunately, none of the story matters when you start the game. In fact, the game is just about to end the moment you start a new game. Luckily, you meet one of the characters introduced a little later in the game, and the main character tells his life story to the... creature. Funny things about the story are when you died, or failed a mission. You hear the main character say: "But of course, that isn't what really happened. Let me start again."
When you are ready to play the game, you find yourself in "the realm of Gods" and five Gods are very willing to take a talented wizard as yourself, in to be their servant. Some Gods are kinder to you than others. Let me give a small explanation about all of them, even though they give a quite good introduction at the start of the game.
Every time you finish a level, you can choose to which God you want to serve at that time. Be warned though, as not all Gods will like you if you side too much with a certain God. Good Gods won't grant you entry anymore after you've joined the evil gods too often as example. The story is heavily influented on the choices you make there, which is a big thumb up for me.
Magic spells, which include healing and doing more damage to enemies will be given by the Gods. Each time you finish a level and picked a God, you gain a set of more spells of them, and one or two summons. Summons get stronger every level until you reach the last one. All final-summons are quite impressive, though I have yet to see the final-fire-summon.
The first one is the Goddess of some kind of nature area, she has the looks of a normal female human. Because I never managed to finish all Gods, I'm not sure of some. Regardless, she stands for everything that is good... sometimes a bit too much. In most games where you have to pick between good and evil, I don't hesitate and take good. Strangely enough, this time, this Goddess ticked me off. I did not agree with her ideas of 'changing the world.'
The summons she gives you are mostly based from nature beings, such as Gnomes or Mutants.
The second one is James, "God of Earth", with the looks of a giant worm, as he is often called by some hostile other Gods. I can relate to the good personality of James, as he is trying to avoid all action and just wants to be left alone. Because I did not agree with the ideas of all other Gods, I quickly took the trust of James and stayed around him. Not to mention that I liked his most trusted unit, Gammel, a giant bird who is quite strong, especially because he joins you early in the game. The things Gammel, the bird, says are words I'll never forget. They have many memories by now.
The summons of James exists mostly out of simple creatures, such as rock-like creatures or birds. Most of them are not exceptional strong, compared to most other Gods' summons, but they often have other useful abilities, like stunning or petrifying the opponent.
Stratos, "God of Air and supreme Lord of the Heavens. Bringer of Storms", as he described himself. An impressive fellow, I must say. Though he was not my first choice, (James was) he certainly got my attention. Though I despised his personality, he had some plans which I found interesting. As far as I know, he is the most surprising God of them all, and probably the strongest one if you are good in control.
Stratos' summons exists mostly out of air, or lightning creatures. Most of them are quite fragile and weak, but he also has a few that are a lot stronger than most others. Most of his summons are boosted by additional spells. One of them, as example, only gets stronger when hit by a lightning bolt, while the other just crunches down opponents. Ice, lightning and wind are the three elements Stratos uses.
Pyro is a God that ticked me off immediately. Perhaps because he was constantly insulting James or maybe it was because I just didn't like his personality. Pyro is the God of Fire and a somewhat evil fellow. There is little I can say about him, as I often ignored him.
Pyro's summons usually exist out of *beep*-spawned demons with some amazing strength. Unfortunately, most of them are stolen from other Gods. Just like the first, Pyro has gnomes as well, but these Gnomes got quite big guns which do quite a lot of damage. Since I was always the enemy of Pyro, I knew the damage of his weapons quite well... a bit too well.
Charnel is the last and final God. For someone so evil like him, I actually liked it. His plans were terrifying to every God, but they kept up with him and let him stay around. But all Gods knew, if he was given the time, he could easily wipe every single one of them out. Though I always wanted to, I never really joined Charnel. Though I can say without a doubt that he is the strongest of all five.
Charnel's summons are the strongest and have little weakness. Unfortunately, they do not have something remarkable, like the summons of others. James' summons specialized in stun, Stratos' in boosts and Pyro's in doing damage over time. Charnel's summons are just strong.
After one or two levels some kind of prophet mentions that there is a traitor among them. Of course, everyone denies it and they try to point the finger to each other. "What good is a holy warrior with a holy war?"
All Gods immediately feel threatend of each other and try to start an alliance as quick as possible. Where the evil Gods join together, so do the Good ones, where Stratos, who always remain more neutral, joins the Good guys. Out of pure desperation, all Gods start attacking each other and eventually trying to wipe each other out.
I, personally, finished the game four times, with three different Gods, ending up with four completely different endings. Coincidence or not, I always had to kill Pyro first, therefore, I do not know what his ultimate summon or spell is.
Gods aren't killed that easily. "I'm not going to sit here and wait" (- James) and they have their own Wizards to fight for them as well. In some early levels, you often find yourself fighting side on side with other Wizards of that God. Those Wizards, who include you, cannot die. They can be banished, yes, but they cannot die. As long as there is an alter in that land, they cannot die. If the alter is gone, they are banished from that area. If their main altar has been destroyed, they eventually die. This also means that the God is unprotected, and can be killed. I'm disappointed that no God took actions on their own of protecting them selves, though I must admit I was pleasantly surprised when I had to take out James. "I'm not like the other Gods," was what he said, and wiped out more than 90% of your units right before he attacked.
Mana is the biggest factor in the game. If you stand close to your alter, slowly your mana regenerates. But the further away you stand from it, the lesser mana regenerates, until it completely stops. Therefore, there are small mana pouls which you can take control of. Yet they still work the same as the altar. When you are too far away, you lose their ability. Therefore, you can summon small creatures that extend the length of it. Unfortunately, if they die during combat, it can happen that you face the enemy eye to eye without mana to spare. As you can only use magic and summons, you are often helpless. Running is always a good option.
To make the game better, in my opinion, the opponent is (most of the case) not a fool. When you have a time limit in the level, and the enemy knows they have lost, they tend to hide them selves, sometimes, forcing you to run out of time. James and Charnel's summons don't have too much trouble with it, since James' flying summons are quite fast and Charnel's summons can move quite fast over the ground.
To get to the conclusion. The graphics are quite good, except to the fact that it is a somewhat old game now. The base story is bad, but the many different ways it can go to makes it a great story. It also clearly shows that a game does not necessarily need an original story to still have a good story line. The gameplay is good, but it is not very addictive. After a while of playing it, you might get bored of it and just turn it off. Unless you start to get attached to the Gods, or some units (such as Gammel, who tends to agree and disagree with actions) there is nothing to the game that will keep you playing. The music in the game is decent and a big matter of taste. There are people who hate the (non remarkable) sound and there are people who love it. I personally love the sound it makes when you are starting to "banish a Wizard."
The game still has a high rating in my book. The game can be played online as well, but I personally liked the campaign alone good enough as well.
I think I've covered everything now. I might want to add that 'Sacrifice's' concept is a base idea I tried to recreate in the Warcraft editor, but never finished it.
EDIT: Sorry for the little pictures. But those I could find, stretched the screen (too much).

As you can only use magic and summons, you are often helpless. Running is always a good option.
To make the game better, in my opinion, the opponent is (most of the case) not a fool. When you have a time limit in the level, and the enemy knows they have lost, they tend to hide them selves, sometimes, forcing you to run out of time. James and Charnel's summons don't have too much trouble with it, since James' flying summons are quite fast and Charnel's summons can move quite fast over the ground.
To get to the conclusion. The graphics are quite good, except to the fact that it is a somewhat old game now. The base story is bad, but the many different ways it can go to makes it a great story. It also clearly shows that a game does not necessarily need an original story to still have a good story line. The gameplay is good, but it is not very addictive. After a while of playing it, you might get bored of it and just turn it off. Unless you start to get attached to the Gods, or some units (such as Gammel, who tends to agree and disagree with actions) there is nothing to the game that will keep you playing. The music in the game is decent and a big matter of taste. There are people who hate the (non remarkable) sound and there are people who love it. I personally love the sound it makes when you are starting to "banish a Wizard."
The game still has a high rating in my book. The game can be played online as well, but I personally liked the campaign alone good enough as well.
I think I've covered everything now. I might want to add that 'Sacrifice's' concept is a base idea I tried to recreate in the Warcraft editor, but never finished it.
EDIT: Sorry for the little pictures. But those I could find, stretched the screen (too much).

I remembered a good game for multiplayer. X-Men, and X-Men Legends have great gameplay for multiplayer because the gameplay is exactly the same in one player. Let me explain. In the games, you have four characters that you use (you choose them from a list of characters). The only difference between multiplayer and one player is that a friend of yours is playing one of the characters you aren't instead of the computer. Anyways, it's a good game, I give X-Men a 9/10 because the leveling system is kinda confusing...but Legends I rate a 9.5/10 cause it has a much better leveling system.

O...k....Well anyways, it really is a good game. I personally find that you can play it over and over and over...

I could argue over that, but I would really rather not.
And Raiju, your previous post was useless as well. And I won't deny that this one is also. So let's stop, move on, and get back on topic.

I only played X-Men Legends II - Rise of the Apocalypse...i kinda like the "cell shading" graphic =) But,i think i've read somewhere that it actually isn't "cell shading" but some special comic whatever graphic =/
Well,anyway....the game is pretty good,especially if you like Marvel related stuff (like me =) )
