the dark brotherhood quests were definitely the most interesting, i never completed them with my first character, but i did hit the... how do i say it without ruining it. there is a sort of tipping point where everything changes - that was very very cool.

I finally found a working video driver for my PC, so I've been playing my old favorites: Roller Coaster Tycoon, SimCity 3000 Unlmited, and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.

For the Dark Bro'hood, you just gotta kill some innocent person. Then someone appears out of nowhere when you're sleeping and offers you to join the Dark Bro'hood.
The Shivering Isles was fun too, but I found I enjoyed the Knights of the Nine and Dark Bro'hood a lot more.

Oh okay I remember someone say a rumor about it. Im still doing the main quest for the Shivering Isles.

I don't cheat but I do have a strategy that helps a lot. If Im going to lose a battle I run for water since I can run on it I out run all opponents then heal like a S O B.

I've just purchased "The Path" this weekend.

It's very different from any other game I've played before, and I don't think it's a game everyone will love. It's quite dark and disturbing but very artistic.

I think there are some important lessons for gamers and for the game industry in the game.

If so inclined, you could complete the game in minutes, it's not a game with monsters you can slay or puzzles to be solved, it's about exploration, and making you think. If you take the game slow and enjoy the journey rather than rushing to the destination, there's some entertainment to be had.

It's quite a short game though and as such it's fairly cheap.

Games like "The Path" mendioned above and similar games are the scariest ones of all to me. Oh I'm not scared but I get that sense of gee something like this has probably happened in real life at some point. And they make me think. And that's why I like these kind of games. I might look more into this game actually. Thanks for sharing it.

No Problem! It's rare enough when games worth playing, freshly released other than the mainstream stuff are released for Mac. If you're not a fan of the Sims or sports games your choices are a bit limited in new releases.

speaking of Oblivion I need help. If anyone has any tips to how to kill myself in the game. lol

On the Shivering isles main quest you need to go into a tree and get a branch from it. But you need to prove to the tree that you know yourself by fighting your self.

Well obliviously I don't know myself since I get owned all them time.

any tips to how to win this strange battle?

Actually I think WC3 and it's expansion is the worst Blizzard game by far. I bought it and the expansion and I dunno why. But that's just my opinion.

And now I am playing some of the final fantasy: Crystal Chronicles games. I really like this series of games. Just the CC games. Not the other FF 1-11 or whatever it is.

Yes you can play Starcraft on your ibook. You just need to download the OS X installer from blizzard here.

Blizzard Support

Btw while you're there get the latest patch too.
