New this week.

March 22nd, 2007 by xamount

Being a Mac guy, I’ve been a fan of Bungie since the original Marathon series (Frog blast the vent core!). And while I gave Oni a shot, and am a huge Halo fan, I never tried the Myth series. NOW’S MY CHANCE.

Zork Zero also gets added this week. I played a lot of Infocom games as a kid and played almost all of the Steve Meretzky games — but I love this nugget from Bonus Material:

Zork Zero is by far the most ambitious and lengthy Zork game — longer than all three games in the original trilogy combined. At least 1,300 moves are required to win; most players find themselves making closer to 10,000.

Put me firmly in the “most players” camp.

Finally, close out the month with The Best of 2000+ in GameTap Picks. 2000+? The 2000s? The Aughts? I’ll be glad when we hit the 20s, so we’ll have a clear and obvious way to refer to our decades again.

    I think this decade might be one day known as the aughties. At least, that’s the way Charles Stross refers to it in Accelerando. :o
