Source of Joy

I know I said I wouldn't buy any more games until I finish the multitude I have chillaxin' on my shelf, but dammit, I will break that rule.

I finished Half-Life 2 today (probably my favorite game after Symphony of the Night) and dammit, I want to play more Source engine games! A small amount of research uncovered a Source-derived action RPG in the vein of Oblivion. Sweet.

I downloaded the Dark Messiah: Might and Magic demo. It's nowhere near as good as Half-life (from the small amount I played through), but it looks like a lot of fun. Sword combat is fun and all, but it were the kick mechanics and real-time physics that did it for me. Crunching some poor son of a bitch in the spine, sending him spiraling over a deep chasm? Hell yeah. I went through the demo just kicking people in the kidneys. Kicks do more damage than sword wounds too. I don't know how that makes sense, but it does make for fun. Check it.
