Re: Gamespy's Game of the Year

I played it a lot at the beginning, but I just quit one day. I find it interesting, but it is also very frustrating for me. I seem to suck no matter what.

Re: Gamespy's Game of the Year

Where's 2142 at? I thought that was supposed to be one of the top games this year. I guess not.

Re: Gamespy's Game of the Year

Man, was Dark Crusade really that good? I heard it added a more or less bland campaign mode and two sides, in additon to unbalancing the game. Especially when you stack it up against CoH, it's like "uh..."

Re: Gamespy's Game of the Year

^^^^Not really but I am a big Warhammer fan. I can't play online for some odd reason. (I only have the Tau and the Necron for some reason and well I am an IG player.)

I just wished they would stop trying to make a RTS game set in the 40k universe instead of a 40k RTS.

We mostly play GT Legends but most of us have GTR2 too. They are both kick ass racing games. My Sig is from GTR2.
