This one I bought on steam for 2.79€ and installed it right after I finished the first game. I also managed to complete it right away. Being an episodic release, it was naturally much shorter than the original, but it was still very good. I’m looking forward to playing episode two, but that will have to wait for a few weeks as the orange box is cheaper in store than on steam at the moment.

Half-Life 2, Part 1 (COMPLETED)
I installed it yesterday and completed it today. I never had the chance to complete it before as I always seem to have had issues regarding drivers or some other thing. This time, the game worked flawlessly. It’s quite a lengthy game for a shooter and is definitely one of the better shooters I played.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Part 11
More emblems have been gathered and Larthas now has no problem hitting 3k even on training dummies. Other than that, nothing much happened. As for the guild, we are planning to implement a DKP system to avoid newbies in the guild luck out on loot and then leave.
The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition, Part 1 (COMPLETED)
I installed this game shortly after finishing Overlord II and played it occasionally until today. Today, I’ve completed it! What can I say about it? If you’ve played the original Secret of Monkey Island, you will know this one. It’s the same game with updated, hand drawn, high resolution beautiful graphics, music and voices. You can even switch to the original version with the push of a button. If you like adventures get this one and play it. It’s packed with witty puzzles, great humor and perfect atmosphere. There were moments where I was literally laughing out loud.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Part 10
This is what I played most of the time. Patch 3.2 is live, so I was spending a lot of time with Larthas doing heroics to collect emblems of conquest. I also have about 10 emblems of triumph by now, which I got from my daily heroic quests. Larthas is now pretty much ready for Ulduar25, so hopefully we will start clearing that one soon.
As for Hastral, he didn’t do much, but he did reach level 43. Since the new patch is live, he now has a fast mount. I will probably put him on hold until I get my new gear on Larthas. There is just too much content to play both characters.
Overlord II, Part 2 (COMPLETED)
So I took the elven city, went to the Empire arena to get the blue minions, used them and the others to retrieve all pieces of the Tower Heart. I charged it up at the sanctuary and got all the mistresses. I decided to go with regular and not the ghost Fey as my last mistress. After that, I completed a side quest and then attacked the empire capital. There was a twist with the final boss, but he was easy to kill.
The ending I got was the middle one, both domination and destruction. I don’t think I will play again for the other endings as the story is pretty much the same and only the last few seconds are different. The only quest I didn’t complete was the one for killing a thousand gnomes. I just don’t feel like grinding that much.
What can I say in the end? If you like the first one, you will LOVE Overlord II. It’s just bigger, better and funnier. If you didn’t play Overlord I, do so, as the story does have something to do with the sequel. Also, it’s mostly about the humor, so you really need to play both of them. All in all, it’s an excellent game.
