I did find this for DC:





It's a homebrew adventure horror game.

20 minutes til I can fire up Rage. iD has never let me down, so I am quite pumped...

Holy cats! I was thinking Rage was slated for late October. Let us know what you think, Dave.

I want to know how it is as well, if you can D, can you also mention your PC specs and performance?

I played about a half hour last night and while I enjoyed it (the first "mission"), there was far too much graphical glitching to really want to play for long. Lots of pop in and some screen tearing, etc. I just updated my drivers to see if that will fix it (they were already recent), but I am not optimistic

I have the recommended (not minimum) CPU/RAM and a better that minimum video card in the 8800 GTS 640MB...and it is almost unplayable The Steam forums are going crazy with people complaining, so hopefully we see a fix soon.

EDIT: yeah, the new drivers made no difference. Here's what the game looks like for me (and many others) -

That's too bad, as soon as it gets patched please tell us how's the game. Also, the Steam forum users usually go crazy over the smallest things, although this is a huge issue and I hope that id fixes it soon.

I'm thinking about opening my copy of Dracula Unleashed for the Sega CD tonight.

Wow, Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins is punishing and difficult for a Ghosts 'n Goblins game.

One hint: Sell the game, it's not rewarding, it's not fun and the ending is horrendous.

It's hard for me, because I generally enjoy Ghosts 'n Goblins. I'll probably stick it out to the end, but I doubt I'll do much more than that. I already can't imagine going through all the stages to collect the God knows how many trinkets and doodads. Really, all of the RPG elements in this game are genuinely awful, and probably its downfall.

Devil May Cry (PS2)
Clock Tower (PS1)

This is my new, highly abridged list based on the reality of my available playtime this month, and my own gaming skill level. I must say, I'm having a devilishly good time playing through both so far.
