Now, I'm in the Mythos beta, and this is all I will say about it: It's awesome. It's like the Korean grindfest games, but it doesn't get boring as quickly and has a lot of content. Also, it's got a major drive to level up. I'll be playing it a lot.

    However, I find that I've been spending a lot of my time on games, and not much doing everything else. For instance, I did maybe 8 hours of work in a day, I spent 8 playing Mythos or EV Nova (bought it yesterday), mixed with Oblivion. The problem is that these games are so darn addictive (I'll write a review of each later), and I'm so darn weak to their addiction. Anyways, onto the reviews

    Game Review: Mythos

    It's still in beta, so I'll disclose as little as possible. It's awesome. I play as a Sylvan Gadgeteer (I do believe that you can look it up outside of beta). Basically, I use guns. Lots of guns. Rifles and dual pistols (or single pistol with other weapon/shield, but that's not as fun). It's got great graphics, decent system requirements, and, better yet, it's free. It's a lot like FATE or Diablo. Hack-and-slash at a basic, simple level with lots of goodies. I give it six @'s.

    Game Review: EV Nova

    EV Nova is a really old game (look it up, it's got a 30 day demo) that is awesome. It has good graphics (albeit 2D), simple action gameplay, and a good background with storylines and whatnot. I love it. It's kinda like Stellar Frontier where you control one ship (I have five right now, actually, two Pirate Enterprises, a Pirate Viper, and a Manticore, and the hacked Pirate Viper I use) or a small fleet in fast-paced space combat. I give it six @'s. It costs thirty dollars, and is safe for children (to an extent, maybe PG/PG-13 for storyline).

    Double Take Game Review: Oblivion

    I've reviewed Oblivion before, but I'm gonna again. Oblivion is one of the best fantasy RPG's you can find. It's very good, no matter which platform (it has full mod support for PC, though) you play it on. It, however, has a couple gaping flaws. For instance, the darn lack of true dark. I never use a torch, nor night vision. Still, you get a wide array of interesting magic effects to use (Absorb Health+Soultrap being useful), and a very good experience. Be forewarned however that it plays a lot like an action game, less like a RPG. Still, it does have enough leveling and bonuses that it pays to go through the RPG procedure.
