That site's a cool find, Gud. Battle Chess! (Not that I'd have anyone to play it with even if I bought it, but it brings back memories.)

Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Anybody know of a racing game that actually has decent physics?

The Gran Tirismo games put heavy emphasis on real life driving physics.
ION, I saw Bender's game the other night and loved it. Aside from the obvious LotR and Star Wars references, I caught references to Akira, Time Bandits and Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I was laughing most of the way through, and loved the reverse take on the Darth/Luke "I'm your father" scene.

Pete has been eaten by Gears of War 2. I KNOW I like Little Big Planet better, from a bystander perspective.

Does anyone here play the City of Heroes MMP? I got sucked into character creation for a supposedly unworkable game concept this past week, and fear I may be signing on for the online interactive version. If it can work on an ancient Mac iBook.
(The game is The X-Wives Club, centered on the genetically enhanced former wives of a Superman homage character. My contribution is Super Model.)

Matt, I have a bunch of friends who play City of Heros. If you want, I can find out what server they're on and the other identifying info.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Much obliged, Jilli. I really know nothing about the system requirements or even if it's the sort of game I'll enjoy (I've been a purist tabletop gamer for 27 years), but now that I have a hook to draw me in I'd like to at least scope it out.

Doesn't matter. But I will check out Gran Turismo.
Matt, I have a couple friends who still play CoH. And the X-Wives Club is pretty damn hysterical.
