Well,it does.
Medal of Honour: Saving Private R...sorry,Allied Assault.
I have the single player demo and it's one of the most impressive things I've played.
Ever.
Got a new 64mb video card and ramped the detail level up to "Jesus Christ" level, and this demo rules.
You are some soldier bloke.
But not one of the bullying rape-the-weaker-boys type, you are the typical gaming "I will do this all by myself because I am noble" types.
You have to get to the end of the level and blow up some anti-something guns.
You start in a base thing, with another soldier with you.
He runs off and shoots everyone whilst you stand about looking into the sun going "Cool, lens flare!".
Eventually you reach a bombed out town, and it's Nazi-a-go-go as they try and shoot you.
My favourite bit?
Using the sniper rifle, zoomed in and shooting as your stupid jarhead comrades run right in front of your sights.
Morons.
This demo rocks.
The game has been rated in PC Gamer at 94% (or 95% I can't remember) and it's "better than half-life"
I can well believe it from this demo.
And it's out next Friday.
And meh woman is in NZ, so no interruptions.
Being Tom Hanks is top fun, but not if they made a game of Castaway.
Which sucked.
But I would play a Bachelor Party game, especially the drug-snorting donkey.

Just keep shooting.
Unless you miss.
Which is quite often.

The mounted machine guns work a treat just point in the general direction and shoot, you're going to hit.
Yeah, I threw some bang-pineapples in those windows as well.
The AI is superb, try running up to a soldier.
Instead of shooting at you, he starts to whack you with the rifle butt before running away for his mates.
Utterly superb game.

It certainly does rock!
Love grabbing one of their enplacement guns and moving down everything in sight! Played it last week and immediately claimed it as a GAD (I see you did too Goaty).
I was impressed by the way the enemies sometimes just poke their guns from behind corners and shoot wildly in all directions.
Best bit? Chucking a handgrenade into a window and then watching the guys pile out of the room in a mad push like women in the sales before hearing the explosions and watching the slowest few to get out of the room being catapulted into the air. (wow, long sentance)
Excellent

Yeah, playing hanks war games is great. Even MOH is a stinkin' good game.
LOL, at Goaty. You missed out just one thing.
I shall talk to a ball. Yes a ball. Named Wilson. I shall then treat him like a friend. I will do nothing but talk to him. I shall never try to escape until being on the island for three years. Infact, I might just not do anything at all but just stand here, get a tan and grow a big beard. Entire film, bar 10 minutes.

One of the best games I've played. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a completely different game, less realistic and more a straight forward FPS.
Castaway is terrible.
Here is the film:
I work for FED EX. FED EX are a parcel company called FED EX and I will talk about FED EX and how much FED EX must deliver stuff on time, boy I love FED EX = 40 mins.
Oh, I have crashed on this island and have nothing but FED EX packages to help me, here is another FED EX package with a handy item I may need.
Boy I'm hungry. = 25 mins
I will now float away on a raft for days and almost die but get saved by a whale. Yup, a whale. This whale helps me and alerts me to a trawler = 40 mins
Now I am back in the USA and realise that objects are for shallow people and it's what is inside that counts.
Boy I'm noble and disgusted with society in general, I hope I meet an attractive stranger that also rejects society by being an artist. Hey look over there! = 30 mins.

This movie is bad.
Just plan bad.
In fact, I'm going to review it right now.

My description of Cast Away is - It's like watching dry paint get drier.
It really was that much fun.
Man crashes in water.
Man gets on island
Man makes friend with a ball
Man talks to ball
Man stays there for ages
Man tries to escape
Audience falls asleep
Tom Hanks gets Golden Globe award.
I post telling how awful it is.
Life goes on.

I haven't seen Cast Away.
I saw Voe Versus the Volcano years ago, and remember him getting on and off a boat.
And standing at a volcano.
It sucked.
