Ending Borderlands

The Borderlands crusade was abruptly ended at mid-day on Saturday, when a disappointed and confused me finished the first playthrough of the game. With now a conclusion in sight, the title resembles, as the story development goes, Crysis a lot. You spend three quarters of the game mowing down your fellow men, only to...

The Replay Value of Risen

About the time I got half-way through Risen, I started thinking less and less about what I was doing and seemed very captivated by the things I might be able to do. I chose to join sides with Don Esteban's Faction and developed as a pilfering, two-handed sword warrior. OK, maybe “pilfering” isn'...

Risen: Worst Boss-Fight Ever

I put around 26 hours into Risen before putting an end to it.

The Second Step in Risen and the Difficulty Curve

Previously, I stated that Risen was a challenging game only to later on reconsider my opinion and admit that I did find it difficult. Now I find myself saying that it has become easy.

EndWeekGame: 16 October

There's nothing like being home alone for the weekend. I'm really glad my entire family is at a memorial, as there's nothing like a little drama to spice things up a bit. It also gives me some alone time with the entire house and grants the necessary time to invest it into Risen.I previously stated tha...
