I am a veteran Call of Cthulhu player and DM, and Frank, it is totally up your alley. I can't believe you've never played it!
It's not the kind of game where you are going to build a character up to level 70...there are no levels per se, but mostly, the best outcome is a meaningful death.
And I would say that sanity/power is the best trait for character survival, as the only thing you can really outrun is another PC when he goes crazy.
Little Big Planet: I still haven't figured out the "game" aspect of it. It's adorable, but unless the people building stuff are good game designers it seems like it's just puzzles to mess with.
So my brother forgot to bring
Dead Space.
But I played
Assassin's Creed
for six hours instead. Which is really fun with the free-running and the killing. And the Kristen Bell!
Huh, I thought I'd posted a response already. Anyway, thanks for the feedback on CotC. Things Not Ending Well is something I can be cool with.
I beat
Assassin's Creed
last night. Or this morning. I was up till 6. I'd say the game took me about 15 hours, maybe less. It's definitely fun but incredibly repetitive. The whole game is basically the same thing over and over and over.
Hee!
I'm not sure if I like
MCCAIN: Oh my god, I did not leave my left nut in a tiger cage in the Tomb of Horrors to spend my Friday nights mopping up after the new kid.
or
RON PAUL: I rift in from Sigil! I'm a Chaotic Neutral Tiefling Barbarian/Monk/Rogue!
more.
I discovered while playing Oblivion (what else?) with my level 8 dude that not all Zombies are created equal. A pack of dread zombies == bad. But also fun.
Fallout 3!
Gears of War 2!
Fable 2!
No money!
Wah!
Anybody else signed up for Superstruct? [link]
