[Phalanx]

Still working my way through 'runaway - a road adventure'...slowly...frankly, I don't know why...it's fucking annoying as hell. The STUPID things you have to do to solve these puzzles are more like "try to combine every random-ass item you have with eachother and pray for a solution" more often than not.
Very dissapointed, I bought it expecting it to be something like Broken Sword, having said that I feel as though I severely insulted the broken sword games, they SHIT on this one.

I know I said this in another thread, but hey, more people might read it here...last week I found a re-released copy of the sierra/lucasfilm title "Full Throttle", which I never got around to playing, but always wanted to. It was only $10AUD as well...

Another "old" game I found was at an op-shop place that sometimes we cruise into for cds and dvds at a very cheap price. I found a copy of a game I'd formerly played only a little of called "Omnikron - The Nomad Soul" for $3AUD.
I'm not planning on getting into it for a while, but this game always looked plenty interesting to me.

Last night I played a little bit of a game I got for Dreamcast "Blue Stinger"...it's a fairly early game on DC so it's nothing great looking, but seems to have an ok storyline thus far, and feels a lot like "the thing". My main complaint is that the controls aren't that good...but, I think I can play this.

Another one I've been playing a bit of lately is another DC game called "Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolf" which seems to be a spinoff of the FF games, as only one of the original characters that I know of is in it. I like this one. It's not super-fast like some p vs p fighters, the moves are varied and not all that crazy, and the control system makes it easily accessible to the inexperienced player. Pretty decent game.
