The Da Vinci Code
 

yup there's actually a game
im not a fan of the book haven't read it etc--but it sounds like a good premise for an adventure game bought it to day on the spur of the moment--

was some what surpised to note that my windows security settings had been altered after instaling it but figured maybe they were ****** with my head as part of the game --well i wouldn't put it past game devs these days--every ones trying to be a clever **** --i now have to log on when i start my PC LOL whats that all about???

any huw seemed kinda ok playing thru the first level decent graphics (yawn) so came across the first major puzzle -bit of decryption- havent read the book so it took me longer than might other wise have done-and im not overly brilliant at puzzles--ok solved the puzzle found the refered to object-- now have to answer the phone---this invloves knocking two policemen out-- use-ing the usual bizaare dance step button clicking in time to the music scenario so beloved of game devs these days--only thing is im 100% crap at this so after four attempts in which i get captured every time--AND the lack of any sensible save game option --this means i have to go back re do the previous puzzle --which even tho i now know the answer still takes a good few minutes---find the dang object again (no spoilers here for those who might like the game) then go and get captured by the guards again lol---yup i uninstalled it about thirty minutes ago---

they're not cheap these games by a long shot--hence frankly im getting cheesed of with being expected to play games like they were arcade beat em ups- regardless of the subject matter --there wasn't a "i just fancy a good story not super mario brothers right now thank you very much" option in the gameplay options-- i'm not twelve -my reactions are not fine tuned to the point of mania--nor do i want them fine tuned to the point of mania thank you very much-- lol---in a nut shell - feck hof :damn: :huh: :hmm: :rotfl: :doh:

Im just watching the Da Vinci Code now for the first time and im sure one of the actors was the captain of Das Boot:hmm:. Confusing for me is why is that monk torturing himself? wears that strap made of metal spikes or something around his thigh and gives himself a good wipping everynow and then:roll:

That Tom Hanks can act any character huh, liked him best as forester.

So they experience the pain of Christ or something like that.

Yep its definatly buyer beware when it comes to games. I always get the demo, and get several reviews on a game before i even think about buying any more. I also have learned which companies not to ever touch due to their abysmal track record with releasing good games, and patching broken ones.
