Arx Fatalis

1. Arx Fatalis

Had to run with Arx Liberatis mod, to make it remotely playable. After dozens of hours it glitched and now shows me the opening cut-scene when I go through an area - which messes with the story and means I'll have to go back hours to even have a chance of it working right. Putting it on the back burner for now.

Ben There, Dan That!

2. Ben There, Dan That!

The cursor isn't working right at all, making it pretty unplayable until I figure a way around that.

Beyond Good & Evil

3. Beyond Good & Evil

There are graphical glitches pretty constantly, apparently this has something to do with running the game on a PC with multiple CPU cores, but I haven't been able to rectify this yet.

Steel Storm: Burning Retribution

4. Steel Storm: Burning Retribution

It runs okay, but I've gotten stuck on the second level. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to go, just a bunch of force fields. It doesn't look bugged, but I've tried three times, including one game restart. It's such a small level that I don't see how I could have missed anything obvious.

Grand Theft Auto IV

5. Grand Theft Auto IV

Wow. This is one of the poorest PC ports I've come across. I wouldn't be surprised if this is what Red Dead Redemption would have been like, leading to Rockstar not making one.

After too long, I've got the game running. Now I get a glorious 1080p resolution (again, took more work than it should have) and a silky smooth - 20-45FPS on my ATI Radeon 7970...

Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil

6. Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil

Can't get the game to run in 1080p, like I did Doom 3.
