I really didn't want to buy another game today. I decided I'd be good and play an old game that I enjoy and that I keep on my hard drive for situations like this. I'm talking about smugglers 2. All is fine and good but I ran into a never before encountered bug and I went to their site to see if there was a patch.

*SIGH*

I found out that Smugglers 3 is out. I can't win. I'm downloading it now. :)

Well, it is pretty fun. :)

Major upgrade from 2 but I liked the old sector price screen which is now gone. Now, you have to check prices one at a time. My only gripe so far.

If you would have checked the email account you had when you bought Smugglers 2, there was an email giving 5 dollars off Smugglers 3. There was for me anyway.

Ah, that's how to get the discount. Alas, I no longer have access to that e-mail account. Oh well, the game is still worth it to me.

I can't believe how much of an upgrade this game is over the last version. I'm having a blast. It's way more play balanced it seems. I finally have enough cash to buy a jump capable ship and have to really decide how I want to proceed. It's a tight little game.

Woohoo! My lazyness wins again!


You're not kidding...this is a pretty small demo at 9 megs and all. $19, hm? I've never played any of those games before...so I'll take your word for it when you say it's a major improvement and the like. Time to give this bad boy a look see...

Crap. I was really excited about this game (Just by the title). I think "Cool, a game where you smuggle things from country to country, have allies, pay bribes, etc", instead you get some sci-fi crap.

Wow... that quick eh? Maybe I should DL the demo too? Then again, I dropped too much money on used games for my new XBox this past weekend.

That Smugglers 3 game looks promissing, could any of you do a review of it after playing long careers? how deep is it? how good is the AI?

And what about that other game they have there, TV Manager?
