I track this game for a long time and like their trailers. They release their first game this Monday and also throw the final trailer.
I didn’t tried the game yet, but first reviews are great and It looks like hit no. 1 of this fall.
Check out new trailer:
It was a long month with no post, I know, but here we are again. And with a really good game. Even if I was sceptical first, this game somehow managed to catch me, so I’m really thinking about spending 20$ and buying it. It’s nothing more than a new game from the creators of well known Uplink, Darwinia or Defcon. A game called Multiwinia.
First surprise
You’ll find out first surprise when you decide to download this game. You only need to download 50MB of data! In this time, when even many casual games can take hundreds of megabytes this feels like some kind of miracle. Even if you have a really slow connection, it’s no problem to download this game in a few minutes.
Second surprise
But the second surprise is even better. This game is actually pretty good! You don’t need much time to understand what to do (which was my problem in Defcon). You just sit and play. At first I was kinda disappointed because you need to use your keyboard and your mouse, too, but after a few minutes there was no problem with it. Of course I must to say, that I”m no casual player. It’s possible, that many player, that are used to control games only with their mouse are going to have problems. But it would be really pity and I’m sure that they’ll be able to get through it.
And of course I could go on, but I must left some more surprises for you. For now, you just need to know, that Multiwinia is a great and easy to understand strategy game, where you’ll need to think pretty fast. And even if you don’t have much experience with other strategy games, don’t be afraid of this one. It’s so unique that it’s no problem in here.
Some people say, that there’s nothing going on in gamer’s world on summer. Looks quite different for me this year. I’m not just playing games for which there was no time before. There are also many interesting demos.
And because I kinda like episodic gameplay and first episode of American McGee’s Grimm was sent free on the net, I had to try it. Actually I didn’t know much about this game and maybe it’s better, because my expectations weren’t so high.
What’s this game about? About being evil. Many gamers love to be bad. And even I’m sometimes disgusted from all the pastel colored animals and shiny happy sun. So your character - Grimm - is here to make everything a little more ugly and less shiny.
Everywhere, where he moves, the beautiful fairytale world’s changing to a smelly horror dream full of ghosts, ghouls and zombies. And using his special ability he can spread ugliness all around him.
In core, this game is nothing more than an jumping arcade. An easy one, because you can’t lose. If you die, it’s no problem and you born somewhere near again. And even your objectives aren’t very difficult. You must spread enough ugliness around you. Some characters try to stop your spreading and clear the world again, but you can make them sleep and continue.
Your only enemy is the time here. But you don’t have any time limit, you just can try to be faster next time. And to tell the truth, time is an enemy of game itself. Because I finished first episode in about 40 minutes, I hope that the next one, that won’t be for free, will be at least twice as long.
Dungeon Siege in space? Whoa, this must be fantastic! Because I’m a big fan of games that take place in space and I also loved Dungeon Siege 2, I was really looking forward to try Space Siege demo. So how it is?
Actually…bad. Why? The action is not intensive at all, there’s no atmosphere and I could continue. All you need is to stay with your character someplace and click with right mouse button on your enemies.I don’t know, but in Dungeon Siege this really wasn’t enough! Maybe it was because you also needed to think about your companions.But in Space Siege, there are no companions, it’s just about you.
But even with one character there can be fantastic action. And you don’t even need to buy a game like this. Just try Robokill - you can find an article about it in here, and at least I enjoyed this game much more, than Space Siege demo
If you want to download the demo after all and try it by yourself - you can download it for example here.
It’s about a year ago when Bioshock came. I resisted for quite a long time. Of course because I thought that my computer really isn’t enough for such a game. But a week ago I finally purchased this great game and it’s really good, that it’s holiday in here - Bioshock looks like a big time eater for me.
In a few older posts I said, that if I play an FPS, I mostly like the most brainless ones. But I also love atmospheric games with a good story. And even if Bioshock is almost everything, but not a brainless game, I fell in love with it in a short time.
First of all - it looks fantastic. Even on my laptop it works just fine with high details. See some screenshots. You can almost say, that levels are peace of art. Sometimes it’s good just to stay and look at all the beautiful things around you.
And as I said before, story and atmosphere is great too. Oh yeah, I just can’t stop, because I need to find out what’s going to happen next. All the characters are well written and there are lots of “whoa” moments.It looks just like if almost everyone went crazy in Rapture. And everyone in a little different way.
So my final verdict? I didn’t finish it yet (even if I think, that I’m almost there, I can’t be sure), so I can’t say for sure, but even now I can say, that I’ll remember Bioshock and it’ll be one of my top games.
OK, I’m sure you already know, but why not write just a small note about it. I can’t say that I’m some kind of Diablo maniac, but I still can remember how I used to watch my neighbour playing first Diablo and how I bought Diablo 2 and spent a lot time with it. Actually I’m thinking about starting it again and finally finish it.
You can find every known information @ Blizzard webpages, there’s also a nice gameplay video. Looks fantastic and I’m really looking forward.
Because I’ve got holidays now, there’s finally more time for playing games. And because there was a small hill of games, for what I didn’t have time before, I picked the first one and installed it. It was called Rogue Trooper. And now after two days it’s all over. I finished it.
Rogue Trooper is a fantastic third person shooter very similar to Gears of war. Of course it doesn’t look so good even if it came in 2006, too, but even so it’s fantastic.
This game is inspired by a same called comic which I didn’t read and haven’t heard about it before. You’re a blue skinned soldier in here, but don’t worry, you’re no Smurf but a genetic trooper:o)
What is so great about this game? It’s very fast, there’s a lot of epinephrinaemia and of course I think, that for casual gamers is good, that it’s quite short. It’s not very hard too. You can collect points and buy ammo, medpacks and other stuff and I’ve never had too few of it. A was able to finish it in about 8-9 hours at a normal difficulty. In addition, in what other game you can talk with your helm, bag or gun?:oD
