Fun game. Especially when it's FOUR IN THE MORNING AND YOU'RE STILL PLAYING IT BECAUSE THEY'VE TAKEN OVER YOUR LIFE! ARRGH!!!
> 2. Magic Cards, Invasion, Nemesis, Urza's Saga, Urza's Legacy, 6th edition. No PROPHECY.
I don't play anymore, but the card list for Prophecy seemed to rock. And Urza's block was way too overpowered to be fun. But that's just me.
> > Would be cool If I got: > Diablo II
Awesome game.
> Warcraft 3
Good luck. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Sorry. But I'm afraid that we'll be lucky if this game is out by the time I graduate college (4 to 4.5 years).
I'm always up for being pleasantly surprised, especially since War2 kicked some serious you know what. And Starcraft was pretty great too except I like fantasy settings better. But I first heard a release date for War3 as "late 99", so...
> Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2.
This seems pretty cool. I loved the original C&C. I wasn't a huge fan of Red Alert, and Tiberian Sun kinda sucked. But my friend has RA2 and it seems cool.
Other suggestions if you like those games:
Age of Empires 2 + the expansion, if you don't have them already.
Zeus. I asked for this game. If you've ever played any of the 'Caesar' games (or 'Pharaoh'), then this is the same type of thing, except it's in Greece, and it adds new stuff. Should be cool.
Civilization III... oh wait, this won't be out until I get out of grad school. :)
That's all.
My list, BTW, for those who care:
computer games: Zeus
music: All That You Can't Leave Behind (u2), My Favorite Headache (geddy lee), test for echo, power windows (both rush), the 'red album' (the beatles), new adventures in hi-fi (r.e.m.)
books: Ilse Witch (terry brooks), Snow Crash (neal stephenson)
DVDs: Gladiator, The Matrix, and two R.E.M. DVDs
plus i'm sure i'll get "useful" stuff.. but usefulness is overrated. :)
