Good humor and logical puzzles makes the last episode of the series to be the best. Its humor quality is higher than on Reality 2.0, bringing back the absurd style which made the duo so hilarious. As a result of the episodic content, Bright Side of the Moon cannot be a played as a stand-alone one. There are a lot of references to the former episodes including characters and facts. The best solution is to buy the whole season or to wait for the retail version which will be launched in august. Then you can try and play all six episodes and reveal the conspiracy behind the global hypnosis phenomenon.
Although the developers were quite confusing in revealing a denouement of the story in the former episodes, Bright Side of the Moon includes an acceptable end. This time Sam and Max have to go to the moon on their De Soto to find Mr Roy G. Biv who stands behind the huge conspiracy of global hypnosis.
The gameplay flows in the same direction as in the other episodes. From the start you know where to go, with whom to speak and what to do. But somehow the puzzles require some more attention and old adventure's skills, and the voice acting is at its best.
To make the entire story of the series more clearly, the developers brought into the scene some old characters who played an important role in the former episodes. You can meet again here Tedd E. Bear, Abe Lincoln, Agent Superball, Philo Pennyworth or the C.O.P.S. robots.
Again Sybil and Bosco the recycled characters have an important role in the game. For some of you who played already the entire series, it becomes annoying to see some of the characters every episode. But you have to admit that especially Bosco plays a different role everytime he appears. That guy is always obsessed by global conspiracies that includes his person and his store, so he tries to disguise in someone else. This time he plays the role of a mother.
From the artistic point of view, this episode is the best. But its length is a little bit shortened. As you come to the end you really feel a pity for ending already the game and the first season. For all the adventure fans who still didn't try any of the episodes, you should buy the whole season. I hope that the series will not end here and Sam and Max will continue their adventures into a new season.

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.

Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
