yeah I've thought about that. Then I remember that I never finished Halo 1 and I think about how I should probably just reinstall that.

You haven't lived till you have played the "custom edition" mod maps on the original Halo: CE for PC. Nothing like playing CTF on a 30+ mile map while Mythos and Longswords rain nukes down on your sorry ass.

I think I'd love to see a Legend of Zelda title with some very heavy RPG elements. Something like Zelda II but a current release. Like maybe give Link a leveling up system and give him multiple accessory slots, many armor and weapon upgrades, and just have more NPCs and towns in general.

Kathy Rain is a new point-n-click adventure game with a very 90's aesthetic. Bot my wife and I have it on our wishlists and plan to play it at some point. Anyway, although the reviews have been quite positive, the sales have been slow. In fact, the game has not actually made any money yet. Polygon reported that the publisher has actually basically said that they're ok with this in the sense that they know it's a niche genre, but they believe it's a great game that will actually grow a cult fanbase in the future. As such, they're saying that they will continue to support the developer for at least the next year. I think that's a pretty cool outlook for a publisher and it actually makes me want to move Kathy Rain a few notches up in my wishlist and get to it sooner rather than later to support its existence.

Online gaming has been de facto banned by Morocco's largest internet provider, which already blocked VoiceIP software :?

It looks cool, and I would pick it up if it was ported to iOS, which the developer really, really needs to do if it wants to make some money on the game. Touch controls are absolutely perfect for the adventure genre, and now that I have played a few of them with touch controls, it would be really hard for me to go back and play one with a mouse (or, god forbid, a controller <gasp!>).

If you had gotten a Windows tablet then you'd be able to play lots of adventure games w/ touch controls without waiting for an iOS port.
