DOTA was a big deal, it took a popular RTS and rode it's coat-tails to success. The big winners for this Action RTS RPG MMO Game for Personal Computers is the play-times, you can play it for 15 min to 45 min per match. The graphics are great (comparable to Heroes of Newerth) and the gameplay mechanics are NEW; the itemization is great and easy to access via the 1 shop menu. There are many heroes (lots), lot's of…
Assassin’s Creed 2 is a MUST BUY for anyone that doesn’t mind murdering people in a video game in creative and fun ways. The End. It has 20-30+ hours of gameplay featuring amazing character animation, tits graphics, OCD detail, accurate history, and huge environments. The game features accurately recreated Renaissance era cities of Florence, Venice, Romagna, and the Vatican. You also get to own, operate, and upgrade…
Viva La Presidente! This game was fun for like 8 hours and I’ll never play it again . I built all the buildings, did all the stuff, made millions, etc in my 1st Sandbox play-through. Was it fun? Yes, it was very engrossing as I built up my little tiny nation of the Republic of Von Soot and put down all the rebels. The game is definitely polished in terms of the simple UI, great graphics, and pretty hilarious dialog…
Acronyms FTW. This is the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Single Player Personal Computer Ver. Review, in keeping with nomenclature of Infinity Ward. Before we get started, let’s address the issue: This game has sold millions and millions of copies, is it the best game in the world? Nope. Infinity Ward does a great job of creating a sequel to Call of Duty 4 , but don’t expect this game to be a whole new next…
After 30 or so levels I and everybody I know have unsubscribed from Aion. The game itself is flawed by a few things: Ranged classes dominate PvP in the Abyss, leveling is uncreative and nearly 100% a grindfest on recycled monster textures, and most notably there is apparently ZERO support in North America for this game . Recently the games chat is being spammed heavily by gold farmers, with no GMs to get rid of…
After trying out the shit-stain experience that is Civilization Colonization , I again went searching for a game that will let me enter a time warp and build my glorious empire. I was recommended this game from Skulldoogy after ranting, “I wish there was a Civilization that was streamlined and had good graphics.” An hour later I was breaking treaties and adopting slavery. The graphics in Civ Rev are googleplex years…
Well I decided to give this game a shot, having no idea what it’s about or what it does except that it has a splendiferous name and it’s getting praise from the paid-under-the-table reviewers on the interweb . I started the game up and went through the tutorial, this is what it’s all about: You are a Scribblenaut , and can summon just about anything you can think of to accomplish puzzles. Here’s an example: You are…
So I was in a mood for empire building this weekend. I was hoping to create and foster the most glorious nation of Sootonia the world has ever seen; but I needed some new game to do it with. I have fond power-hungry memories of Civilization IV ; one of the only games to create a time warp around you and your computer so multiple hours fly by in mere minutes. Lets cut to the chase, this game sucks ; it felt entirely…
Read the full review Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization
In general I enjoy games where I get to do a few things; perhaps obliterate interweb slobbergoats through humiliating violence or in some cases, build a giant empire of Sootdom that rules the planar-sphere. Franchises such as Civilization, Age of Empires, and Caesar have always been a way for me to realize that I have no concept of keeping track of time. But lets face it, historical turn based or RTS games are…
Yes, this game is worth buying. It features the best graphics I have seen on a side-scroller, glorious animation, actions, and puzzles galore. If you are a person that has operable fingers and enjoyed games such as Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, Bionic Commando, Braid, and countless other side-scrollers then you sir and/or madam would love Trine. The game features gorgeous 3D graphics, three different…
Via. Fancyless.com Wolfenstein, one of the longest running PC franchises of all time. It has a come a long way. Sort of. For some reason this game feels OLD, it has great RPG elements, such as the ability to customize your weapons and abilities; but there are a few things that really suprise me coming from ID and Raven. First and foremost are the dated graphics, Id Software and Raven are known to produce stunning…
This was before Asians had computers so it was ultimately mega entertaining. Regardless of the awesome kung-fu and Asian references, the weapons were fun and the levels were ultimately lamer than Mark Pi's horrible food. A great game, fun to show friends, but not fun multi-player or single player, which are kind of important game modes. I give it a amnesia related low score having only remembered a few frames of…
This game blew my mind, once a long time ago. Then I learned to build levels with special Pr0n animated GIFs. Then I killed my buddy Tim 100 kills to 0 on my custom multiple castle / pirate ship map while listening to Sublime and drinking Kool-Aid via dial-up 36.6kbps death-match. Technology. The end.
