Dragon Age is the new Baldur’s Gate.

Highly recommended…

If you haven’t played the Xbox game Psychonauts, then get it – it’s on Xbox Live as a downloadable game.

It’s by Tim Schafer, the guy behind Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and a lot of the first two Monkey Island games.

It’s sort of a platform game. Ish. The main character, Rasputin, is at psychic summer camp; he must enter the minds of other people to foil a sinister plot. And that’s the least outlandish bit of the whole thing…

Well worth the money.

For anyone who still owns this brilliant game:

Planescape Torment Gets A Facelift

I have just put the newly-bought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare into my Xbox360.

The first thing to flash up on the screen after the Activision credit:

(Voiceover:) Fifty thousand people used to live here. Now it’s a ghost town.

“Pripyat,Ukraine
Chernobyl Outskirts”

And then shots of an abandoned Ferris wheel…

Lego Indiana Jones: The Video Game

There’re now a set of downloadable Sam and Max games!

They do cost money… but… but it’s Sam and Max!

(I still love the old LucasArts game).
