I’ve been following this one for a while. It’s a honest to god super hero game for the pc. Super hero games for the pc have been doomed for some reason. This sucker has gone gold and is supposed to be in stores by the 27 or 28 of this month. Here is a pic and a description of the game Freedom Force:

Crave Entertainment, Irrational Games, and GameSpy are excited to bring you the demo release of Freedom Force. Set in New York City circa 1962, Freedom Force is a tactical RPG that bristles with the over-the-top action of classic comic books. It’s up to you to form and lead Freedom Force, a team of superheroes capable of standing toe-to-toe against insane villains who are hell bent on crimes that range from bank robbery to world domination! This demo contains two missions and a character creator.

You can download the demo from Fileplanet.com. A warning about File Planet, you have to register to be able to download stuff from them. Fileplanet.com has two flavors of the Freedom Force demo. There is a small(56.1 MB) and a large(87.4 MB) version to download. One has music and the other does not.

Man that Freedom Force is awesome! It’s a comic book geeks wet dream. It’s a squad based real time game with rpg elements.

The demo has two levels. The first level takes place in a big city park/downtown area. The first mission also serves as a tutorial. It’s so fun picking up cars and flinging them at bad guys. Or belting a baddie with a lamp post.

The second mission takes place on a aircraft carrier that had been frozen. You can use up to four hero’s in this one. You can also make your own superhero to bring in to the game. You can customize your hero with all kinds of powers.

You can grab this demo at 3D Gamers. They put up a mirror. So you don’t have to mess with Fileplanet.com. This download page will let you choose from the big or small versions of the demo.

OK the official Hotel Giant site is up and running. I went over there a few days ago and there was nothing. If your interested in this hotel sim this would be a pretty good place to watch. They say the full version hits stores on may 17th.

Gary from the very cool Gary Coleman posse site stopped in again to update me on their new site. If you have the habit of keeping track of what I write they stopped in before. Here’s what they had to say:

Thanks for talking about us, we now have a brand new site up, so please check it out.

As the man said, go check it out. It’s some really interesting stuff. The link again is Gary Coleman Has A Posse.

Whoopee! The day is here. So I’m thirty now. I’m not looking forward to this day as it plays out. I’m not bitching about hitting thirty, I’m talking about the family portion of the so called birthday celebration. One of the cousins from Minnesota is down, which hampers what goes on.

I’m not blaming the cousin. It’s just that the cousin being down here fucks it all up. The dog. Did I mention I have a dog? Well it’s not my dog, he’s really his own dog. The problem is that this stupid beast can’t be left alone. He’s a stupid pit bull. With the cousin here that means the dog can’t be at grandmas. That means someone has to stay with the dog. If no one stays with the dog it tears the house down.

Anyway it’s a bummer with my grandma sick. So I will just be playing Freedom Force for most of the day. Man it is great. I also need to shout out happy birthdays to my best friend Troy, who is born the same day. Happy 28th buddy!

Freedom Force came out on Tuesday. That wasn’t enough for me though. Yesterday Jedi Knight II hit stores. Me being the Star Wars Geek I am had to pick it up. If you like Star Wars and you play computer games consider this one a must have. It has it all graphics, story, and of course the fact your a Jedi. As per the usual with these kinds of post, here are the screen shots(1024×768):

I tell this is one great looking game. The sound is also dead on. To me that’s important in games like this. If it doesn’t sound like Star Wars then what’s the fun? And the game is fun. It’s also a little hard. The levels are huge and I keep getting lost. Again I say go and grab this game.

Well I haven’t been doing much of anything as of late. Well that is besides playing a crap load of Jedi Knight 2 and Freedom Force. Me and the Izers did our annual b-day dinner and a movie (without the movie). I didn’t go to the bar afterwards. I haven’t been in the mood to drink as of late. And that is about it.
