I played it last night on a server with Alien (aka, Dzedzy, Allen type). I pretty much reek. In my defense, I am slow, uncoordinated, never played that level (or any real DM since Unreal Tournment 99), don’t know the weapons, can’t shoot, and get frustrated easily.
Other than that, I am horrible.
Supposed to be a very fun game: Ticket to Ride

All the News is depressing. So why post now?
I bought an XBox a few months ago. Well, mostly traded in a slew of old computer games for about 70% of the purchase price of the XBox and Halo. I loved Halo, it is one of the few FPS games I have actually played to completion (well, I mostly play strategy, and I complete lots of campaigns and scenarios). But I got married, and moved, and stopped playing the console for a while as I settled in to my new routine at home.
Lately, I’ve had a bit more time, and though I really like Warcraft III, I was looking for something different, because even that is the “Good vs. Evil” and betrayal and such.
I haven’t played a sports game for a long time, since NBA Live! ‘95, I think. So I rented Madden 2003, and I am having a blast. I’m too old for really competetive football (real, or arcade), but I’ve found Madden 2003 actually give me the illusion that I can play a console sports game (on Rookie, of course). But the tutorials are far beyond what I expected, and have really increased my enjoyment of the game. Between the Mini-Camp mode, where you run drills and then practice in Game Situations, and the Football 101, where John Madden explains plays and formations and then critiques my execution of the plays, I am having a blast. I’ve even played a few exhibiton games (not the campaign), won one (Rams vs. Texans, even I couldn’t mess that up), and lost a couple (Redskins vs. Cowboys, unfortunately the all too common result).
Sometimes, I need to recharge, and this is one of them.
