DESCRIPTION

Prisoner of War is a third-person action game that has players attempting to escape from a variety of prison camps during World War II, including the infamous Stalag Luft and the secure confines of Colditz Castle. As an American pilot named Lewis Stone, players must learn the daily routines of each camp before plotting a daring escape. An overhead-view radar is displayed in the corner of the screen while the action takes place from a perspective behind Captain Stone as he ducks, sneaks, and runs away from his German captors.

In addition to devising an escape plan, carefully noting patrols, roll calls, and meal times, players will also steal cars, destroy communications equipment, and work with a variety of fellow prisoners to distract the enemy's attention. As Stone uncovers more about what the Nazis are planning, he vows to find a way to rendezvous with Winston Churchill's Special Operations Executive before it's too late. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“I'd say Swat 4, only because Spoony did some really funny Lps of that game.”

“In fact, think I'll go watch them now.

Here's a link.

“Dude, KotOR, there's a huge "Holy Shit" moment coming up in the rest of the game, I really recommend you play, at least until that moment.”

Torinir was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I agree with Ashbelthor and suggest KotOR”

arislyn was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I'd suggest KotOR, as well. It's just a kick ass RPG that needs to be played.”

DarthOdium was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I vote for KOTOR too.”

Linked713 was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Dungeon siege was awesome.”

korncob was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“KOTOR seems like the one with the best storyline going for it in m y eyes, so I'd say go for that :P”

SDxBrandimus was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“KotOR is probably the best RPG I have ever played and still to this day has arguably the best storyline of any RPG I have played. ”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Roxas-UrBoxas You should check out his site, he's really funny.

Quarex was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Agreed, Knights of the Old Republic is probably your best bet--only a few games have better storylines than that series, and you do not strike me to be the Planescape: Torment or Betrayal at Krondor type from your other games. Haha.”

Roxas-UrBoxas was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I got bored after 7 minutes of watching it. He's too drab. I loved betrayal of krondor... I gotta add that to my list.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Roxas-UrBoxas You mean the Swat 4 LPs?

He has other videos then that.”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Quarex I play every genre almost equally, just never played those games. I looked them up on Gamefaqs, and Planescape looked pretty good. But alas, I don't have it.”

Roxas-UrBoxas was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@EarthboundX If it's that same guy, and just him ranting, with a monotone voice like Ben Stein I'm not interested. Unless you tell me he has sketches or some sort of diversity?”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Roxas-UrBoxas Yeah, he doesn't really do Lps, Swat 4 was really different, he does games and movie reviews.

I'll link his Reb Brown movie reviews.

“I vote the Hobbit because it's pretty challenging for a kiddy game”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@bettadud Hey that's not fair, I don't think I'd call it a kiddy game. It's a very challenging action/adventure based on a book that, frankly, if a KID could read then I'm impressed o.o;”

Roxas-UrBoxas was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I read it when I was a kid. Kneel before me.”

bettadud was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“As did I”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I said I'd be impressed not that I'd kneel =P”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“And regardless of if kids can read it, I think it's fair to say that the book wasn't intended for children. =P”

“@TheTot You're gonna play KotOR, you're gonna play KotOR :P”

ComradeRavenhawk was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“If/When you continue Torchlight, I might have a suggestion.. Since you're using hardcore mode and keep dying.. Are you making use of the "Shared Storage"? It would at least let you get some reasonably good extra equips that are around passed off to potential new characters. Or maybe masses of shit lying around is a lower difficulty thing..”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@ComradeRavenhawk No I haven't particularly been making use of it just because I really have never gotten far enough with one character to get something that would be of overwhelming value to another character -- Pretty much anything incredibly good I had gotten, I had equipped lol. I wouldn't really say it's a difficulty problem, though, because even on Very Hard I don't think it's anywhere near the hardest game I've ever played, and I usually have no problem getting through the levels. I get through the first 4 to 7 levels, varying per character. It no doubt always happens when I start to get comfortable, and let my guard down. And typically don't realize I'm out of HP pots.”

“I'd say Ghost Recon, why??? because I too have not finished it and would like someone to, lol!!!!”

msdkoyot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I have to say KOTOR was ridiculously unsatisfying at the end. The ending was not worth it IMHO. I would vote either for GR (if you can coop it) or COD, that thing was fun =]

And yeah I remember having troubles with the strategic apartment building.”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Although I greatly appreciate all your votes and comments, unfortunately this is all useless now.

I got a new video card (yay!) but for complications I don't care to get into, I had to format my hard-drive (not yay!) but luckily just the C:\ drive (very yay! Lotta data on my other hard-drive that I didn't lose). So, it's a good/bad news situations. Bad news obviously got tons of updates to redownload, I-don't-even-know how many random programs to reinstall, and not to mention all my games. But good news is obviously that I have video card that's 5x better now. =)”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Plus, for what it's worth, even though it sucks I had to format, a fresh start never hurt anyone. My computer runs soooo much smoother now, lol. (I'll fix that up nice and quick, haha)”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“You got a new card? Kick ass! What card?”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“GeForce 5200”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Well that is better, but still pretty outdated, hehe.”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Hey buddy you listen here lol. First off, I had a 64 card with 0.0 pixel support. So I am NOT complaining about having an outdated 256 with 2.0 pixel support.

Not to mention, secondly, I have a 2.4 gigahertz cpu. So even if I had a better card, there's not many games I'd be able to fully take advantage of it with only 2.4 gigahertz. ”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Hey, hey, I support you on getting a better card, haha.”

Ashbelthor was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@TheTot Gratz! :D
Do finish KotOR though, lol.”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Ashbelthor Probably not for a great while, now. Formatting my drive means that my save files are all gone. ”
