Best. Game. Evar.
Posted On Wednesday, February 16th, 2005 By David Veatch
I’m still composing my post(s) about the cruise. In the meantime… a little bit about the best game ever. Well… maybe not the best game ever, but certainly one of the top five in my book. Dungeon Keeper II was released WAY back in 1999, and I *still* play it frequently. I haven’t played it non-stop for the last 6 years, mind you, but it is one of those games (in my case, one of the very few games) that always seems to find it’s way back to my hard drive. DKII isn’t perfect. The main problem I’m having is that under XP, it tends to crash quite frequently. There are times that I can play for hours w/o problem, and other times that it crashes every 5 minutes. In either case, DKII is the only other thing running, so I don’t get it. Aside from the crashing, there are some game mechanics that I would like to see improved. Context menus via right-click, easier grouping of subjects and creatures, the ability to pick up multiple creatures at once (click-drag-selecting), and the like. My irks are small and minor, and aside from the crashing issue, do little to detract from more ยป
