Anyone heard anythng about this new game that I think Microsoft is making, called 'Impossible Creatures'?

I keep hearing about this game that is billed as a cross between Zoo Tycoon and Jurassic park, where you can make your own creatures, like a Zebra\Tiger combo, 'Tiger Horse' or whatever you want, and then you can make them fight in RTS mode. I wanna get this one, sounds like hours of fun...

Yeah I don't usually like Microsoft products (Although the 'Age of' series is cool and I do own an Xbox, mainly for Halo / DOA / Buffy / JSRF) - but that game does sound pretty fun Just hope its less buggy than most of their software :p

I hated Dungeon Siege if they had spread the skills wider, I think it would have been amasing. The skill system was genius, just a bit lasy on the number of skills IMOA. Shame because I really was very excited by this. Then again I got excited by NeverWinter too. That level builder was hell

lol I agree they kinda overhyped it but it's nothing compared to Metal gear Solid.

i'd forgotten about this title for a while ... puffy reminded me about it last nite cause aparently the demo is on fileplanet now.

Actual game actually has nothing more to do with Microsoft than they came in late in development and bought the rights to publish it. It's a got a Moylonex sticker of Dev on it
Thought it was becomming an XBox only game myself, but maybe it was ported ho hum ...
If your gonna talk about Overhyped games thou - Daikatana
no need to say anymore really.

Daikatana-Indeed, say no more, Raven V.
I know about it from personal experience.

Hey Kangaroo, since you mentioned AOE, the new game Age Of Mythology was created by the lead designers of the Age Of Empires series, and the AOE influence is VERY apparent in the Age Of Mythology, it's a beautiful game.

I'm not big on RTS, but my faves of the genre are Empire Earth, AOE 1 and 2, and Hostile Waters, Antaeus Rising, based on a sci-fi novel about an adaptive nano-cruiser re-awakened to deal with the threat of a terrorist group that wants to lay claim the what is left of the world after a huge explosion of anti-matter weapons that destroyed over half the world. Great game.

Thank you, yes I have Age of Mythology, it is indeed beautifully crafted just like the last two Again I'm not the biggest RTS fan myself, but have you played Warcraft III? Its pretty cool too, and improves tenfold on WCII

Yeuch Daikatana was quite, quite poor

Yeah Kang,
I played Warcraft 3, and I have some of the books they put out with the artwork and all-this was a really great undertaking and a beautiful cap to a fine series-I beat the first 2 and have yet to give her the go with the WC3, because of me and my personal addiction to First Person Shooters. I'll get to it one day though.

Ahh the simple claims to fame eh - hehee
Can't say i know anyone famous ... well not famous outside of nerd circles anyway (kinda depressing because thats gonna be my non too distant future, oh joy!)

Never really thought she was really all that cute myself - i mean she was oki ... but i have alot of friends which are better.
yup, i just have to look around when i'm out with everyone and i can safely think "God my life is FANFUCKINTASTIC"

hehe Oh well I'm afraid the list of C,D and E list celebrities I have met is stupidly long - most not necessarily through choice lol. (I once read a list and I am classified as E list! roflmao) If you've heard of Faye Tozer or Donna Air I prolly know them the best. A lot of people think they're really hot, but as you say, there are many non-famous girls just as sweet
