All i can say right now is that Halo and PDO are tied with me 
Well Iām afraid I would have to disagree 
Warthog launching is one of the greatest innovations in FPS ever =P
W00t!!! I could do it for hours on end!!! xD
Ha, Iāve got to admit, Iāve never even got around to trying it. I promise that I will at some point, though, with the hopes that it will open up unexplored avenues of Halo joy

Well of course, Lance! Thatās the cool part of Halo. There are so many easter eggs and cool hilarious things to do! It NEVER ENDS!!!
You can take āunexploredā quite literally actually Seeing the entire Silent Cartographer island from above is a sight to behold. And like TSE said, thatās not all. Be sure to check out the frozen marines in AOTCRā¦
[quote=āPeteā]Itās EA, Iām tellin ya! Donāt you just hate them.
Though from what you said, maybe the reason I love Halo so much is that I had hardly ever played another FPS in my life before. I had Duke Nukem 3D on the Saturn but barely got into it.[/quote]
Shame on you.Pick Exhumed(Powerslave) for the saturn if you can.Now THATās a FPS.
True - Exhumed was extremely under-rated (or under-purchased, anyway), and it was as good as the companyās (Lobotomyās) Saturn Duke Nukem conversion. Their Quake conversion was a bit, erm, ārough around the edgesā, though, to say the leastā¦ though I guess it was a much harder game to port.
What I liked in Exhumed was the atmosphere.Iām not a big Egypt fan but it kicked arse in the gameā¦
It seemed a bit odd when the, erm, aliens showed up, though
Nevertheless, it was very cool, and had great gameplay.
The flood added a whole new feeling to the game it made it even better!
I couldnāt obtain the final piece of the radio thanks to those impossible-to-navigate laser fences, so when I killed the alien queen (Iāve forgotten the name of the race), the aliens simply returned a few hundred years later and wiped out humanity. Youād think Earth would be prepared by then. The aliens also put your mummified remains in a museum. How nice of them.
What happened in the good ending?
What? What game are you talking aboutā¦(people in school are hovering over me -.-)
Pretty much the exact opposite - it was quite gratifying. If I remember correctly, the last line of text was:
āā¦ and you become the king of the world!ā
Never a bad thing.
Hehe.
If memory serves me well, it was a very good game.
Why the hell was Exhumed called Power Slave in America? Was that itās original PC name (I think it was a port of a PC game)?
I have no idea.I would like to know that 2.Why do they change names?
Same thing with PDS.
I think this is so, but Iām not totally sure.
And yes, it is strange when a title is changed between regions. I agree that a title is important, but itās often hard to figure out the reasons behind these changes. In my opinion, āExhumedā sounds a lot less cheesy and melodramatic than āPower Slaveā, though.
The Saturn was starved of high-quality software. I blame Sega of America and its head at the time, Bernie Stoler, for denying us localizations of some great Japanese games (like Riglord Saga 2).
Labotomy saw a void in the Saturnās library of games (that being decent first person shooters) and filled it with Exhumed, Duke Nuken 3D and Quake with great success.
Till this day I have still to find a good reason to buy any Quake gameā¦
