    The Travel Tips Thread!

    If you're in london might be worth seeing Ireland too. Return flight can be gotten very cheaply if you book a few weeks ahead. Check out Dublin, Belfast and Galway if you want to do the tourist thing.

    Poll: which Sci fi universe would make the best game?

    I think 40K already has a pretty good fps from way back in the day on the PS2..or PS1? Based off Space Hulk, and of the same name. Never got to play it myself but I remember quite a few friends (who hated warhammer) raving about it.

    Are you insane!? who would play Gordon Freeman? because thats what they would do. They wouldn't set it the Half-Life universe. Not a Chance. That means Gordon would become someone.

    The biggest issue with RTS.

    Also check out Sins of a Solar Empire. Tackled the whole resource problem by....just giving you tonnes of space.

    The biggest issue with RTS.

    Interesting thoughts there. I'm not sure I agree that its " terrible game design" to have races that focus on one primary strategy, although this approach is quite often badly implemented.
