Ok, this is a thread dedicated to games made by bands. . . or affiliated with bands. I'm sure it will be short-lived, as I can only think of two:

Ed Hunter ~Iron Maiden~
A horribly lack-lustre rail shooter. . . Never played it. . . saw it for $17.99. . . but the graphics suck, the gamplay is supposed to suck. . . and. . . well. . . the music is awesome, but I have it all already.

Kiss Psycho Circus ~Kiss~
Played the demo. . . honestly, it was pretty good. . . Not only that, it got good reviews. If I saw it for cheap, I'd def. pick it up. . . although it's based on a comic which is based on the band. . . That's a lot of bases to cover (oh-ho-ho, so funny!). . .

Any others that people can think of?

Well, there are many Iron Maiden songs in Carmageddon 2, that game ruled btw!

LoL. . . Killing pedestrians, everyone's favorite past time.

There were also Iron Maiden songs in GTA3: Vice City. . . specifically Two Minutes to Midnight.

Don't forget Qliphoth - Path of chaos made by The One! I think the link doesn't work anymore, but if you ask One I'm sure he'll let you play it.

Yeah, as I can see, the download links are not working any more.
I currently can't upload anything, cause my bandwidth and connectivity are very limited, the local server's got some trouble. But no worries, I'll get it fixed.

Hmmm. . . well I have a 56k. . . so unless it's <10meg. . . I probably won't be downloading it.

*tear*

No worries Cretin, it's only about 5MB.
About the limited conectivity, I really don't know what will I do about it, I guess I'll have to call to the internet company to get the problem fixed.

Booooo! If you want, I'll fight them for you!

Did you know: Samurai's hated the Ninjas and prided themselves on honor.

Probelm fixed itself!

Ok, here's the link: Download "Qliphoth: Path of Chaos"
enjoy!

IronCretin · « **Reply #10 on:** April 18, 2007, 11:38:30 am »

Well, the good news is that it downloaded and unzipped ok. . . the bad news is that it won't run. . . it says the file may be corrupted. . . or some such nonsense. It also seems to have unpacked the Credits movie. . . but nothing else. . . Do I need a patch? Perhaps a lobotomy?

~The (Mummified) Cretin~

The One · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2007, 10:15:18 pm »

I'll check on it today, don't worry. I hope I can fix the problem if it's something with the file.
Now, what it could be is that your computer is the problem.

IronCretin · « **Reply #12 on:** April 19, 2007, 05:41:08 am »

Probably is the comp. . . this thing is an ancient relic from Atlantis.

It STILL leaks!

This looks... interesting. I'm always for a good postapocalyptic RPG. The Diablo part is what worries me - I was never a Diablo fan. Fallout, on the other hand... eh.

Still, looking forward to this one. I mean, it's got snow! Lots and lots and lots of it!

...

Oh, and Sonata Arctica. Which ain't bad. If it's as good as the new stuff, I'm buying this fucker.

IronCretin · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2007, 06:00:43 am »

LoL. Wow. . . I agree. . . looks. . . interesting. LoL. The screenshot is pretty budget looking. I haven't really heard ANY of Sonata's music, but a lot of people seem really into them on this site. Diablo was ok. . . but Fallout is one of the KINGS of gaming. . . I mean, Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics. . . not a bad game in the bunch! Of course, I neglected to mention the console Fallout. . . which was the stupidest marketing idea EVER. Almost as dumb as Starcraft Ghost, or whatever it was called.

Sorry to go off topic, but I own only one Sonata album - 'Reckoning Night' - and I find it to be pretty bland power metal without anything to separate it out from the other billion and a half bands churning out this kind of stuff - not exactly bad, but... well just not exactly good either.

I'd be pleased to hear (from anyone) what it is that people like about this band - coz I don't get it.

I mean, if someone likes power metal, then sure they fit the bill - but what makes them better than other PM bands?

PS Don't kill me too much!

I actually have been asking myself this very same question for ages. *Sits next to Sirus to hear anybody's explanation*

Kills Sirius just a little, then sits next to Aluqak, waiting for the same answer

I always found Sonata Arctica... cute. It's that special something something you feel for no apparent reason. I was turned off for the same reason as you lot, though - admittedly, I *did* like Ecliptica, 'cause of a few songs. Alas, the genericness of their music turned me away from Sonata.

Until, at least, this new album. I've opened a topic under Other bands, but don't bother going there or something. *profoundly stirred*

They pulled a Blind Guardian on the music industry - Guardian was generic speed power for the first two albums, when they started to evolve and create their own distinct, slightly proggish sound (as heard on their latest A Twist in the Myth). Sonata now did the same - I think they're searching for themselves right now. The albums so far were just a warm-up exercise, I guess.

Anywayz, I gave my answer in the first sentence - I find them cute

That something something. Now, with their newfound approach to power (or bizzaro power, as I like to call it), they're something more than just 'that cute band'.

...

Don't laugh at my usage of the word 'cute', or I shall smite thee with my mighty blade.
