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.

Looks like we didn’t write about any bigger games for a while. So what am I playing now except flash games (addiction to Dolphin Olympics 2 continues) and of course what would I recommend you to try, too? Last few day’s I’ve got very little time, so it’s not much, but because there are many rumors about new Prince of Persia games, I finally tried the last PoP trilogy. And of course I started with the oldest episode - Sands of time.

And I must say, that I was quite surprised. And fortunatelly in a good way. As you maybe know, I’m big Lara Croft’s fan and I must say, that Prince is a really good artist too. Of course he’s missing something, that Lara has, but at least there’s a nice sidekick:o)

And of course I finally got a chance to play with my new gamepad and the feeling is much better then if you play on your keyboard. But you sure know that:o)

So, a small recapitulation - the game is really good and I’m looking forward to finish it and continue with it’s sequels, which are said to be even better. And because it’s a quite an old game, you can play it even on older computer and it still looks great. It’s good to look back and play games that you forgot about when they were new.

As I wrote few months ago, I really like first person shooters, because sometimes I like to relax and don’t think about anything else. And I’m not only casual player and sometimes I must play something “bigger”. And that’s why I’m writing about it - my idea is to show casual gamers, that there are many good big games too!

Well, yesterday I found myself a new favourite in this genre - about the midnight I finished PC version of Gears of war. OK, it’s third person shooter, but who cares;oD It’s almost the same…

It took me about three, four days. A little short maybe (for gamers with no time perfect), but I have to say, that I’ve never played such an intensive game! It didn’t let me stop even for a second. The game is very well designed and it has exactly the “one more checkpoint pleeease”effect. Most times I don’t really like the checkpoint system, but here it worked OK, I think. Maybe because there are many places, where’s nothing to do and then a big gunfight. And between these big ones there’s always a checkpoint, so you don’t need to worry about losing your progress. Difficulty is greatly balanced. You can even choose the “casual” difficulty. I played the hardcore one and I got stuck only in the last fight. And trust me - there were MANY nasty words all around:oD

The main thing - gunfights - are absolutelly perfect. In many games you can play Rambo style - stay in the middle of a street and shoot at everything what’s alive. But not here - if you don’t cover yourself well, there’s a big probability, that you’ll see “Game over” sign pretty soon. That’s why you can find many cover places in every level and you must still run between them and look for the best one. Enemies are pretty inteligent and of course they can cooperate very well. Fortunatelly you’ve got team-mates too. Unfortenatelly sometimes they act dumb, but you can take a friend and play cooperate play. I didn’t found anyone to play with me yet, but I’m really looking forward to play this game again with some friend of mine.

Of course graphics is fantastic. What to say more about it? I’m sure you’ve seen some videos and I think it’ll tell you more, then thousands of words. And the other fantastic thing is music - I really hope that I can find it somewhere in MP3 and listen to it in my iPod. Actually I can’t remember any game where I was listening to soundtrack and I really liked it in few last months.

So if you want to experience some action in your living room (I don’t think, that there are many differences between PC and original Xbox360 version) , try Gears of war and I’m sure, you’ll be amazed as I am.

First of all I must say, that I really love Unreal. When I purchased my first PC (it was Celeron 433MHz), one of my first games was Unreal. Few years after was Unreal Tournament my first game, I played online. And the game, I played on the internet most is….tadaaa - Unreal Tournament 2004.

So I was really looking forward for new Unreal Tournament 3. Few weeks ago I downloaded beta demo, but it was falling all time, so I didn’t even write about it. Now I have finally full version of game and after some technical problems (it was STILL falling on my notebook, I know, it’s not actually game for notebooks, but it’s still my most powerful computer) I was finally able to shoot some enemies.

And the feeling was great - again. Even if it doesn’t look as good, as it could on better mashine, I’m really enjoying it because the core is still the same. I think it’s even better, then in older UT games. Bio rifle is finally usable, and I must say, that I really love it here, hoverboard is absolutelly amazing and CTF with vehicles got absolutelly new dimension.

The game is really dynamic and there is always something going on. Maps are designed very well and after few games you’ll remember where to find what weapon and where to heal yourself. When I first saw new Deck 17 (remember it from first Unreal?) I didn’t recognise it, because it looked so good, but I was still wondering, where I know this level from. Same thing with music - I even sometimes listen music form Unreal in my iPod and here you can find many same melodies, just sounding even better.

I think, that Unreal Tournament 3 is perfect choice for every Unreal fan with a little better computer (you don’t need as good computer, as for many other new games including Bioshock) and even if you didn’t play UT or UT2004 - try UT3 and you’ll see, you’ll be amazed as I am:o)

Good news, everyone! Activision surprised everyone, when they said, that new guitar playing simulator Guitar Hero III: Legends of rock will be released for PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, PC and Mac! Of course on PC will be same songs as in console versions, game will be selling with guitar controller and it will have LAN and internet multiplayer.

If you are impatient, try free GH clone Frets on fire.

Codemasters will revealed second sequel of their hit: Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising in the Game Convention (Leipzig, Germany). This game will coming in the 2008 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. This sequel will be about Chinese - Russian war for oil.

Ubisoft announced new sequel of their great game: Far Cry 2. Because of Crytek leave cooperation with this publisher this game will crate Ubisoft Montreal. I think that we don’t need to worry about the quality of this game.

The main, undiscovered, news was 7 characters. You will chose from them at begin of the game and the game story will be a bit different with each of these guys (and one lady). The game will be hosted in fictive African country in the war between UFLL (United Front for Liberation and Labor) and APR (Alliance for Popular Resistance).

Authors promise to take a care about AI of enemies and other details, but this promise all authors of each game HDR, Motion –blur and other last generation effects is matter of fact and I think that we should look forward to this game.
