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.

Surely the worst ever Tom Hanks movie game would be "Joe Versus the Volcano"?

Object of the game:

Do nothing.

Get on boat.

Do nothing.

Get off boat.

Do nothing.



Sounds more like to me, that you were discribing Cast Away.

Decide whether to jump into volcano or not.

Did he? I got bored before this bit.

I watched Toy Story 2 yesterday. More than once. Malibu likes it.

A Forrest Gump game would suck too. There would be just one button. It would make you run.

When I see people running in the street I shout "Run Forrest! Run! at them.



Um, so this game good then Goatboy?

I must admit, the game does look excellent. I also have to agree with what you said about Aliens Versus Predator 2, that game sucks. Won it as a GAD back in November, my poor computer couldn't handle it. Get computer, play it. Eugh. Alien missions are just boring, marine ain't much fun, but I do love killing people as the predator. Hehe.

Might add this next to "Kill BT" on my to do list.
