I’m mostly forcing myself through OUAK out of bitterness at being burned on Republic: The Revolution, which supposedly was a great political strategy game in which you try to seize control of a breakaway Russian republic. Instead, it was abject crap. Despite OUAK’s flaws, it’s better than R:tR.

Devil Whiskey is probably not going to be interesting to you unless you played the Bard’s Tale ~20 years ago, and want to play the exact same type of game again. And I do mean exact; the developers have taken pains to implement the 1985-era interface as best they could. (And 1985-era bugs – you can cast STWA, Stone Wall, repeatedly and gain a -4 bonus to your AC each time. I sent in a bug report and asked if that was a result of slavish dedication to the original engine, or if it was just overlooked.)

Speaking of Liesure Suit Larry (the first PC game I ever played) has anyone seen the preview for [Lula 3D](http://www.gamershell.com/download_3284.shtml)? I hadn’t even heard of the Lula title before but damn, that preview clip is HILARIOUS. God I just about choked laughing.

Warning: the game trailer contains full frontal nudity and weighs in at nearly 68 meg. Do NOT play this trailer if the kidlets are around.

Also, can’t wait for a few I didn’t see mentioned.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R  
Far Cry  
Thief III  
Need For Speed: Underground (which should have a demo out soon!)  
Dues Ex.  
X2: The Threat  
Hidden and Dangerous 2

Man what a great time to be a gamer.

If you want a great site for game trailers of upcoming games follow the above link. I’ve never seen so many hundreds of game related downloads in one place!
