Anyone remember The Bouncer for PS2?
The Bouncer on the playstation 2 was pretty good looking.

The Bouncer didn't get good reviews, but it is a great game and perfect as a party game or just random multiplayer gaming.

As for its looks, yes it does look good and I read that people agree with that. The graphics have aged well too.

Capcom doesn't port games onto OSX. Plus Dead Rising is more of a servival type of game then a fighter.

The Prince of Persia Trilogy for example for PS2 is wonderfull ( BUY THEM ! )
Same for the Jedi Knight Trilogy on the PC ( BUY THEM, TOO ! )
Oni is old and unfinished but a lot of fun.
I do not have to mention Lugaru, of course. :-)
The Episode III Video Game is also worth a try, although it's too short.

Determinance is also a fun action game, though it's in the closed beta right now. (I'm in it :p)

I hate to be an advertisement but here's the link: http://www.mode7games.com/

What's the combat like? Is it like Mount and Blade where someone gets ready for an attack with a left click and you get ready for a block specific to that attack with a right click? Or is it like Gothic where you manually have to choose between dodging and blocking specific attacks yourself.

The description itself sounds alot like Die by the Sword where you only move your mouse around to swing your sword, and the sword itself can hit other swords realistically out of the way when they come in contact with each other.


I should probably read the preview from gametunnel...

Edit: this game looks hella sick... you get to fly around too.

They take a long time to send their beta keys... David and I are still waiting on ours.

I am really curious to see how they managed to pull off free form sword controls in an online oriented game (i.e. lag).
