Before going into details I must confess that Galactic Dream: Rage of War is a frustrating experience from a reviewer's point of view. It was created by a little known developer called Evolution Vault, which then got a distribution deal with Strategy First. It's a real space strategy game which promises control of massive armies, an interesting storyline and, last but not least, a humorous take on familiar themes. The fact is that small developers, who clearly do not have the resources, both material and human, required to create a game with high production values that could be forgiven a few uninspired gameplay mechanics, should ... [read more >>] Electronic Arts made the big announcement just months ago and Need For Speed ProStreet is already shaping up into one of the best, if not THE best racing game ever developed. We've watched the game's evolution right from the first released developer's diary and ever since then, EA had promised to deliver la crθme de la crθme as far as the racing genre goes. Trying out the demo the giant publisher and developer has made available for the Xbox 360, we were able to fully understand what they meant by competing "at the highest level of street racing". Indeed, the latest installment in the NFS series lives up to its name and what ... [read more >>] Welcome to Spartan TV! We're going live right now with Kratos, the God of War, who's going to tell us a bit about himself (or not) as we plunge into yet another Spartan adventure! Since Kratos is not among us any more as he's gone to some other part of the world to take over the Chinese and Indian mythology, let me tell you the fellow's latest works. For starters, he must be the only demigod who ever dared to claim the throne of the gods and the title of "God of War". You must have seen him defying all the mythical creatures on Mount Olympus in the first God of War title and taking on Zeus in God of War II
Now it'... [read more >>] A couple of notes before this interview gets down; I'm Re (Reviewer), while Master Chief is MC (not a master of ceremony anyway). I may have talked to the fellow, I may have talked to the actor voicing him or... I may just be Cortana in a human shape. Who knows? Care to see what Master Chief has to say? Read on Spartans!Re: How does it feel to be part of a phenomenon that sold $170 million dollar-worth copies in the first 24 hours after its official launch? MC: Well, first of all this is not a sellout! If Bungie gathered all the neurons and karma from the universe in order to create the perfect scenario for a blockbuster, so be it! Ho... [read more >>] While the rest of the world is either playing or waiting for Halo 3, I decided to take the Japanese version of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for a spin. Being a huge Final Fantasy fan, I've been waiting for a proper FF VII sequel for years and I'm not even counting Dirge of Cerberus as one, since the title disappointed me. Crisis Core was announced way back in 2004 at E3 and it was scheduled for a 2006 release, but it was postponed till this year and I have to say that it was well worth the wait. This title can be considered a prequel to the original Final Fantasy VII, which has just turned 10 years old. In case you're a f... [read more >>] Fallout 3 is the best Oblivion mode so far. Wait a minute, that didn't come out right but after seeing the short demo from Bethesda at Leipzig I just couldn't shake the feeling that something is amidst. I'm sure most of the old-school gamers remember Fallout for the enthralling experience and the younger ones
well, they can't remember anything but they all must have heard about the legend. The two months old build I saw was pretty impressive and even if the game is not what someone might expect, being played from a first person perspective, it still raised some eyebrows in the conference room. The game opened with a co... [read more >>] I've been playing Capcom games from the early stages of my gaming life and the Resident Evil series will always be a pleasant memory. Considering that the next-gen consoles have become a real hit, the producers couldn't ignore them and prepared a set of neat titles that exploited the Xbox 360's capacity to the max. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is one of those titles and I must say that playing this game has been a real privilege. At first sight it's eye candy above all, but you'll soon see that the "candy" lies in the gameplay, too. It might be a bit similar to Gears of War, but only the good things got copied fr... [read more >>] Tiberian Sun was one of the most definitive real time strategies of its time and literally shaped the future of today's games. In the early days of strategy, more precisely back in 1999, the force which struck the market was so huge (here personified by Command & Conquer, Tiberian Sun) that it imposed itself as a landmark and comparison title for all that followed. It wasn't relying on the player's keen sense of strategy and it didn't require much brain power and it wasn't too long until a lot of gurus appeared with infinite knowledge of every multiplayer map and intricacy. The simplicity of the gameplay allowed any...

It's no wonder that this is the sport that brings the biggest incomes and the most popular one. EA Sports have yet to fail us in the sports field, as they deliver pretty good sims each year, based on the most popular competitions in the world: NBA, NHL, MLB, FIFA etc. As the UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 season draws to an end, EA Sports provides us with the great experience of playing tough finals and semi-finals along with the real ... [read more >>] I was born in the same year when Zelda first surfaced, changing the gaming world forever. To some, it had the same magnitude as Mario did, the first time it became known as a hit. 20 years have passed and the Zelda-mania got so bad that fans were making queues in front of the stores to buy the Wii and the Zelda Twilight Princess game. Zelda is not just a pleasant return of a classic, but it's also my first game on the Nintendo Wii. Feel free to check out the review on this wonderful piece of equipment that gave me hours and hours of entertainment through Link's adventures. Nintendo struck gold with their release titles and this is... [read more >>] |
