Virtual worlds to visit before you die

I second the Ico / Shadow of the Colossus recommendation. Anyone who has a PS2 sitting around and hasn't played these games really owes it to themselves to try them out.

I couldn't disagree more about Ravenholm. To me it represented everything that was wrong with HL:Episode I. You have a good engine, good writers, good artists - why did you stick this moronic survival horror section into my sci-fi game? It's the worst kind of blatant willingness to ignore the setting and plot in favor of padding out the game play that I've seen in ages. That entire game was an hour of interesting engine mechanics and storytelling bookending 18 hours of completely linear, nonsensical tripe.

There has been a furor in the last few months on the meraki forums about unannounced changes to their pricing structure and unwanted changes to the service (sticking in ads.) That said, I'm not certain the extent of overlap between meraki the vendor and the specifics of the San Francisco free the web project.

Shouldn't the 18 and 3 be on opposite sides of the die? Also, the perspective is all off. Scoplecopter's is much better.

Moomin is most definitely not a hippo - he is a troll. You have a lot to look forward to when your daughter is old enough to enjoy the regular storybooks of his adventures.
