Gary has been on several times since he timed out, but hasn't made his pick. Do we have to wait the full 24 hours again?

Out of the Park Baseball 9 (2008) - PC
Review
Figured that this one was probably under no threat whatsoever, but its still time to nab it. I think quite possibly the best sports management sim in the gaming world for at least the last 5 years, and every year they tweak it a little more. .

This game drove me nuts. One of those games you could convince your Mom was actually helping you in life.![]()
Critical reaction to the Chessmaster series has been mostly positive. GameSpot commented that "Chessmaster has remained the consummate standard in console chess games since the '80s."[10] IGN said that "the series itself remains the best way to play and learn about chess on the PC."[11]
Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition, the most recent PC edition of the series, scored positive reviews, with PC Gamer saying: "this one-stop shop for an entire chess-playing and learning family should last until you're all grandmasters."[12] Chessmaster 10th Edition holds an 84% rating on review aggregator site Game Rankings.[13] IGN gave Chessmaster 10th Edition a score of 8.4/10, calling it "the best chess game in town."[11] GameSpot's review of Chessmaster 10th Edition said, "If you're looking for a good chess program that's packed with a plethora of features and all the bells and whistles, you'll be very happy with Chessmaster 10th Edition.
There must be a disturbance in the Force, my turn again and it isn't the 10th yet!
For my first game I would like:
Chessmaster XI: Grandmaster Edition (PC)
I too was looking for a chess game to take, and this is a very highly rated series. From wiki:
For the second pick, I think I want to take a truly 6 degree of freedom game:
Descent II: The Infinite Abyss (1997) for the PC.
I loved the original Descent and this one when they came out, zipping along underground corridors blasting enemy ships to bits. The 6 DOF means you can hover in place and move in any direction, including up and down, independently (like a space ship or helicopter). You can also get very disoriented easily, so it takes a strong stomach and sense of direction to play this. Ooodles of fun. The newer version has fancier graphics, but isn't as much fun to play based on what I have read (haven't tried that one myself).
This version of the game includes the expansion pack, so more corridor-flying goodness for me!
Ahem -- I just took Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition to start this round. Go get your own.![]()
