Who let the Stroggs out?
Apr. 8th, 2006 09:36 pmMy dad is going back to Saudi Arabia soon, and this time he's being accompanied by Jack Straw. To talk to some Middle Eastern princes about missiles. I'm beginning to have doubts about him actually being a university professor now.
My projectless boredom has been temporarily warded off by the purchase of Quake 4, which was going for cheap on Aberdeen University's classified list. It's most similar in style to Quake 2, but is more like Doom 3 than anything else. It feels less like a Quake game and almost like a House of the Dead-style shooter at times, as the concept of free movement has largely been used so far simply to travel between one amazing set-piece firefight and the next. I'm also rather worried about the slow speed of walking, very similar to that of Halo (a game which was so slow that the multiplayer matches resembled Chariots of Fire with added missiles). But I haven't tried the online mode yet.
