Quite a while back I bought this pack of games. Deus Ex, Myth 2, Oni, FAKK2, and Rune (maybe one more, I forget). Oddly, I played pretty much all of them EXCEPT Rune and for the life of me now I have no idea why. Tonight while looking through my discs I installed the Rune demo, and its really cool. Visuals seem to hold up well, nice controls...why didn't I play this before?
So why am I not installing the full game? Because my Rune disc got broken. I am a sad panda. All I have is the demo now until I can track down another copy. Damn. Beheading things is fun.

Rune was a decent game, and also a grade A case of wasted potential. There were some brilliant moments, and I did enjoy a fair portion of the game, but the combat was too repetitive and not nearly deep enough. Still, it was a cool way to while away an afternoon when you just wanted to spend some time in a crazy viking paradise. I'm pretty sure I still have my copy around here somewhere.

I had this for a while from one of those double packs of old games they used to sell. Had no idea what it was, but was actually pretty impressed. I never finished it, and I'm fairly certain I eventually gave it away or threw it out, but I liked it a fair bit until I stopped playing for whatever reason.

Damn it doesn't seem so long ago that I watched Xessive play this. Time flies.

Man time really has flown by us! hehe
Vikings were awesome :P

I have this, and I did play it all the way through. I remember liking it well.

Hehe I remember eating lizards! :P
The game had a lot of funky things. The Hel levels are the most part I remember.

It was in the Unreal engine right? I think that's the first thing you told me.

Haha yeah Iw as so excited about the Unreal engine back then and it was nice to see a completely different game running on it. I still love the original Unreal engine. Every once in a while I'll install Unreal or even Rune just for the hell of it :)
Rune brought the joy of being a badass Viking back into games!

The Unreal engine was awesome for me. I know early versions had problems on GeForce cards, but by the time I got into Unreal and later Rune, it had been fixed. It was silky smooth on my GF2 MX. Best looks for the time too.
