John Bedford (Modojo): It seems that RPG fans who were looking forward to getting stuck into Overhaul Game's re-imagining of the PC classic Baldur's Gate will have to wait a little longer. The iPad version of the game, due out today, is now expected to be released sometime next week.
The Humble RPG Legends Bundle just launched today. It includes nine items including Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Neverwinter Nights: Complete Adventures, and more.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon has just added several more new games under $10 and $20 to celebrate its Prime Day, but these deals are not limited to just Prime members. That means even if you are not a Prime member, you could take advantage of these deals right now across multiple gaming platforms!"
If you are anything like me, a lot of what you do for work, for fun, and for staying in touch with friends depends on the great and mighty World Wide Web. So, imagine what would happen if the gang of neighborhood cats chewed through the power cords, cutting off your electricity. Or the alien hackers from outer space sent a destructive virus that crumbles the infrastructure of the internet in a matter of seconds. Devastating disasters like this could come in more mundane forms as well. Maybe your parents turn off your service or you are going on a trip to a remote, Wi-Fi-less destination.
I loved Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and their respective expansions. But I think my gaming tastes have changed since then and I have different expectations and tastes now. I think, for me anyway, this game is best left a fond memory.
