Hellgate London

Hellgate London is a fun game but it lacks polish. I have had it crash twice on my 2 GB machine with an out of memory error and on two other separate occasions objects appeared to stop updating.
It also is missing some things I kind of hoped would be no brainer additions from Titan Quest. Do I really need these displacement do hickers or scrolls of identify 2.0? Also the setting is fun at first but once you have been in one london sewer system you kind of have seen them all. Hopefully the game will transition to being just in hell or something more interesting.
On a positive note I enjoy the number of rare monsters that seem to show up in the game. Basically that and all the classic diablo features make the game fun but the crafting/upgrade system seems to be adding an additional element of game play that is amusing. Still you would think certain things would basically become more or less standard in hack in slashes such as displaying DPS not just damage!
With some patches the game has even more potential. Despite my nitpicking and bitchery I still seem to be playing a great deal of it. If in a couple of months I am still playing the game then I suppose it really is a success (go partial reenforcement scheduling!).

I have defeted crysis!

Very pretty game and long enough to keep me entertained! I kind of wish I could have blown more stuff up at the end but hey...
Now I am sleepy but first I must drink orange juice. Apparently I am participating in some sort of auxiliary thanks giving this friday also. Two turkeys... mmmm......
