What did the fever dreams tell you to play?

I remember years ago a guy at my work raving about how much he loved XCOM on PS and I thought, interesting, and nothing more. Then I played XCOM designer Jullian Gollop's Rebelstar Tactical Command and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars on DS and 3DS respectively and loved them. Then I played the demo for XCOM: Enemy Unknown and loved that. Now I'm finally checking out what my friend was raving about all those years ago.

I fear it will punish me like SMT Devil Survivor did, but it hurts so good.

My local retro game store looked so empty and soon to disappear a few months ago and then all of a sudden they were flush with stock making it a great place to go. I'm happy.

So did I, but this week I decided I couldn't resist its punishing gameplay. It's sado-masochistic, I know.

Lemegeton sounds like the town where all the Lemmings live, right next to the town where all the Hobbits live. They're kinda similar at a quick glance.

But seriously, it looks kinda cool.

I agree. Chris Kohler on Wired magazine's podcast this week talked about Sony using it as a way you could play PS3 games on the PS4. That way they can claim some sort of backwards compatibility. Thing is, you'd be paying to play your own games again. 

Woah! Cool. This game would look amazing on the 3DS!

I have neither gorram it all!

Actually I have an iPod Touch, but it's old and is stuck at iOS version 4.2.1. However, I did find a game the other day, Ascension, that is good with that version. I wonder if there are other games, like those sweet RPGs your talking about, that work with the older iOS?

The upcoming Halo TV show is going to be just like The Office with Elite Jul 'Mdama as the clueless Regional Manager, Commander Laskey as the practical joker Senior Sales Rep, and Spartan Sarah Palmer as the abused Receptionist. The cover above shows the hilarious result after Laskey staples all of 'Mdama's important papers to his desktop.
