I’ve got a request queued through Goozex, but I’m not particularly optimistic as the numbers aren’t changing. But since it’s $5+$1 there instead of about $20 through the Amazon affiliates (not including shipping), I think I’ll let it sit there before I give up.

It’s not like I haven’t got games still in shrink wrap waiting for me to play.

I completely understand your opinion on Oblivion, yet it is still a game that many people enjoy, myself included, even though I’ve yet to “finish” it.

By “the only one I hadn’t played” on the list, just how far down did you go? I’m guessing that you aren’t including all the 2 votes or 1 vote portions. But then again, you are known for your ability to get through lots of games.

Thanks!

So sad to see Oblivion so high on that list … but interestingly the only one I hadn’t played was Zanzarah. Have to check it out.

As for getting Divine Divinity … Amazon ‘shops’, eBay, or perhaps getting lucky at the jewel case section of Circuit City, Walmart or Target. Boy I wish I had grabbed an armload of these when they had them for $10 at CompUSA.

Nice article. I enjoyed reading it.

The funny thing was your piece on Divine Divinity appearing within about a week of the latest GameBoomers.com’s “Dark SIde” favorites list which had this game tied in third place (with KotOR and Morrowind) only behind The Witcher and Oblivion.

So Divine Divinity finds itself rated in stellar company — all being games I’ve played and enjoyed — but I’d never really taken notice of this game at all.

Thanks to you and the folks at GB, I’ll now need to find a copy to see whether I have what it takes to make my way through the initial dungeon and then the rest of the game.
