The Swarm - new 3D Action / Adventure game

noreply@blogger.com (Thunderbolt) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 04:35:17 PST

The Swarm - new 3D Action / Adventure game is in production at Targem Games.

What we saw in the movies finally happened. Science-fiction became reality and everybody could see how huge spaceships landed over the main capitals of the world. Aliens attacked at once, killing millions of humans in mere seconds. The governments of the Earth answered to the attack with nuclear weaponry, in a desperate movement for destroying the aliens, at the cost of the planet itself.

The aliens survived, the Earth became a wasteland, and the sewers, the subway and the basements became the only havens for the remains of humans, which gathered into small groups and gangs in order to survive.

The Swarm is a 3D adventure game, full of action on 3rd view where the player will face the challenge of surviving in a wasted Moscow that shows the scars of the alien attack, defending himself from the attacks of other humans looking for a piece of food, and from the dangerous aliens.

Key Game Features:

• The main character, though starting as a normal human, will be able to assimilate alien skills and characteristics, that will make him more and more powerful to defend himself, though at the cost of his humanity and mental sanity. Develop your character as you wish, choose the alien skills freely, or keep him free of them and focus on the weaponry.
• Face huge enemies and bosses, tall as a building which can kill you with a single hit.
• Real Moscow shown, under the effects of the alien catastrophe… Fight in the demolished Red Square… defend yourself at the doors of the Kremlin of a 50m-tall alien.

Fighting the World - Battle Teutonic Order vs Kievan Rus (Medieval II: Total War video)

noreply@blogger.com (Thunderbolt) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 02:26:19 PST

About Medieval II: Total War

Rome: Total War was not without its errors but due to the engine and improvements, we forgave much. Considering that Medieval improved significantly on Shogun in several areas, it was then not without cause that expectations for Medieval 2 were raised considerably. Yet, while Creative Assembly has addressed some issues, others continue to plague them. Worse, these problems have existed throughout the series and considering this is the fourth game in the franchise and the second with this engine, patience has worn thin to say the least. We’ll get to that later, however.

For those of you new to Total War, let me provide a brief summary of how the game works. After choosing a faction, difficulty level, and campaign type (short or long), you are thrust onto the main map, looking at your nation with the capital dead center. From there you can move armies and non-combat units, with the limits of their movement designated in green, you can click cities to build, repair, or retrain units and buildings. The statistics and traits of characters can be seen by selecting them and double-clicking their portraits. These screens will let you know what kind of defense and attack values a unit has, or the kind of skill a priest, spy, assassin or princess possesses.

It is on the strategic map where the player spends most of his time, trying to decide the proper course of action, making sure he has used his units to full effect and checking on movements by enemies that may threaten his cities, armies, navies, or special units. It is here that diplomacy is initiated and special characters ply their trade. Chances for success are given for spies, priests, merchants, and assassins, while diplomatic offers are guessed at, with hints ranging from “very demanding” through “balanced” to “very generous”. Armies are ordered to move, attack, besiege, or sometimes abandon sieges. Here, a graph suggests the odds of attack, though this is more useful for deciding whether to let the AI handle the battle or take the reins yourself. In bad situations, it is almost always best to take control. Victory has been snatched from the jaws of defeat at the hands of an overwhelming enemy force more than once by Total War players where the AI would certainly fail.

Medieval 2 is perhaps the first game in the Total War franchise where the ability to move priests, spies, and assassins into an army is very welcome. While Rome did have this feature, in Medieval 2 it becomes particularly handy. Priests help keep your family members pious and on the straight and narrow, protecting them from inquisition attempts. Spies reveal more area around the army and help show hidden enemy spies and assassins, while assassins work to repel assassination attempts. Family members are of course important because they permit the player to give build orders in cities (unless the player chooses to enable an option permitting him to work in any city), and of course they are the only generals with any sorts of bonuses.

Advantages of Playing Online Games
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Saul_Rivers]Saul Rivers

The disadvantages of the internet in general and online gaming in particular are known to everyone. However, when it comes to development and improvement of thinking abilities, it turns out that playing online games has many benefits.

We all know that playing computer and online games is fun. Therefore, we cannot take our eyes off our PC screens even if the phone is ringing, our favorite TV show is about to begin or our dinner is burned on the stove.

All of us have already heard bad things about this amusing pastime. We all know that online games are addictive; they can cause you and your children to spend valuable time in front of the computer on the expense of work, school and family obligations. Playing video and internet games on a regular basis can isolate you from human companionships, distort your sense of reality, shorten your sight, damage your back and basically mess up your life.

Let's put it this way: if you or someone you know is doing nothing but playing online games, it is something to worry about. However, most online gamers tend to adopt a less radical approach towards their habit. Then, when talking about milder cases of addiction, online gaming is less harmful habit than watching Dr. Phil, for example.

Actually, the habit of playing online games has many advantages that the habit watching bad TV is lacking. Recent research has shown that playing puzzle and word games decreases the risk of Alzheimer disease while watching daytime television increases the risk.

Many other researches have proved the positive effect of playing online games on the youngsters' mind. Word, puzzle and trivia games enriches the children's speech; classic computer games such as Tetris benefits the kids' ability to focus, analyze shapes, think and plan ahead; board games like backgammon and chess can help in the area of thinking skill and so on.

While watching TV is completely passive, you are required to do nothing but stare, overhear and open bags of chips, playing computer games, still not an Olympic sport, require you more often to recall that grey substance inside your head.

Additionally, playing online games is less solitary act than most people think. First, many types of games, including shooting games, sports games, backgammon, billiard and chess, are two or multi player games in which players can compete against each other. Additionally, most gaming sites add several features that encourage interaction between gamers including forums, chats, multiplayer games and tournaments, etc.

The bottom line is that online gaming, if taken in a reasonable dosage, is the opposite of harmful. Thanks to many of the online games advantages and their contribution to thinking skill development, parents can allow their children to play them, and play them themselves.

Saul Rivers is a new media expert who covers the online gaming industry and related topics. Rivers contributes articles to various skill gaming websites including online billiard, chess and backgammon sites such as http://www.play65.com for example.

Free Online Games Offer Great Entertainment Value
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Chris_Robertson]Chris Robertson

You turn on the television and all you find are reruns. There are no new movies playing at your local theater, and you've read every magazine in the house. You've played and beaten every video game in your collection. You're looking for entertainment - something to pass the time - but don't know where to turn. It may just be time to power up the computer and cruise the Internet.

Believe it or not, some of the best things in life are free. This is especially true in the realm of entertainment. If you look long and hard enough, you will find free online games that are better and more entertaining than those for which you spend a lot of money. If you play your cards right, you can literally take advantage of thousands of dollars of games for free.

Unlike those games that you pay money for, free online games give you the opportunity to play with other people who share your passions and interests. This alone makes it worthwhile to search out the numerous sites offering free games, in order to find those that offer exceptional games with high playability. There are many free game sites that are very good and valuable.

There are some skeptics who would warn against playing free online games. They might say that nothing in life is free, and that in exchange for the opportunity to play free games, you run the risk of being bombarded with pop-ups and other commercial come-ons. They also say that they don't want to comply when some free online games sites solicit personal information, and they worry about the possibility of worms and other spyware that they unwittingly allow onto their hard drives.

Many of these same skeptics, however, not only have become believers in free online games, but they spend countless hours and countless days and nights playing games for free. They have found their passion and have found other people online and have formed friendships with those who share their passion for online gaming.

The beauty of free online games is that they are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. While some require a download, many are browser-based, needing only Flash enabled in order to enjoy the game's graphics. There are also free online games for every member of the family, from the free games tied into children's television shows to the sophisticated, interactive games that appeal to adults.

About the Game Legend: Legacy of the Dragons (Dwar)

noreply@blogger.com (Thunderbolt) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:17:08 PDT

About the Game Legend: Legacy of the Dragons (Dwar)

Legend: Legacy of the Dragons is an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) fantasy which anyone can play absolutely free!

The game is situated in the world of Faeo, a world where two races dominate: the Magmars and the Humans. They have been enemies since time immemorial and have been in a state of perpetual war for centuries. As you register you will have to choose which side you want to help to world dominance!

Faeo is full of all sorts of armour and weapons which will enable you to equip your character and “level” up so that you can prove yourself the best warrior in Faeo. And it not all about cold steel – you will find all sorts of elixirs and potions scattered around Faeo which will provide valuable assistance in the heat of battle as you grapple with your enemy.

Game features

Legend’s new combat system makes it stand out from all other browser-based MMORPGs.

Combat is fully animated and you can see before your very eyes the results of your actions. Legend offers you the chance to take a real and active part in battle and to watch on every move on the screen without getting bogged down in the usual minutiae of text-based games.

The clothes and weaponry with which you choose to kit out your character will not show in the “Character Information” window, but in battle too. One look at your opponent will tell you whether you are fighting man or mouse!

Combat system

Legend’s combat system is both simple, yet detailed. Whilst the interface is intuitive to any user, there is a huge selection of movements, special blows and battle options for every character, depending on their class, equipment and a whole host of other variables.

All this goes to make the game thrilling and dynamic, where the results are not dependent on luck but on you making the right decision. You can find more information about the combat system in the Guidebook for Novices.

Types of combat

There are three types of PvP combat in the game:

Duel: One-on-one combat. You simply have to issue a challenge, indicating the level of the desired opponent and setting the timeout, and wait for someone to accept. Once someone has accepted the challenge, it is up to you whether you want to engage in battle with that opponent.

Group battle: Here you select which team you want to fight for and wait for battle to commence.

Melee: Once you have accepted a challenge to a melee, you will be placed on a list with all the other challengers. The list will then be automatically divided into two teams and the fighting will begin.

These battles are intra-racial, not inter-racial, only.

PvP everywhere!

No doubt you are now wondering how you can get your hands on members of the other race! It’s quite simple; from the moment you leave your native city there will be battles aplenty lying in wait. Find them, before they find you.

With the exception of the main cities, which are well protected by their native race, you can freely attack members of the other race virtually anywhere.

Quests

For those of you who like to engage your brains to solve puzzles, rather than just your swords, Legend is full of quests. There is a large number of NPCs (Non-Player Characters) who can be found all over Faeo and are often in need of a brave warrior. They have all sorts of captivating tasks for you to keep yourself busy with, and on which much depends. They will, of course, reward you for your services. Your actions and decisions will have a telling influence on your progress in the game as many of the quests are non-linear. So think twice before choosing which path to follow.

Bots

Every corner of Faeo is inhabited by some creature or other.

Likewise, as your character develops, you will have the opportunity to acquire a “pet” which will not only make life more interesting, but also offer invaluable assistance in battle. But you must be prepared to care for your four-legged friend.

Money

There are three sorts of coins in the game:

(Copper coins): The smallest denomination in the game.
(Silver coins): The second most valuable game denomination. 1 = 100.
(Gold coins): The most valuable denomination. 1 = 100.

Legend

The universe shuddered at the sight of the two Great Dragons Erifarus and Striagorn locked in combat

And never had the World seen a battle more terrible, and nobody knew what fate awaited them. But that was later, before that was history...

When the World of Faeo was created, it emerged ready-formed, in all its entirety. It could be that higher forces, unfettered by the reasoning of ordinary mortals, had invented themselves a new toy, or perhaps lesser living organisms were fused together in a single upsurge to become highly developed beings. None alive today has been able to fathom the secret of the world’s creation. But the question of who should rule over the world continues to preoccupy the hearts and minds of many. The struggle to impose this or that ideology to lead the World of Faeo to Perfection has only resulted in exposing the world to the destructive forces of Chaos. Many high-born races from different regions of the Universe have taken credit for the world’s creation and have tried to tame Chaos. But as the high-born races have sunk into oblivion after failing to create even a semblance of Perfection, it has become clear that they do not understand the Essence and are mere impostors who have brought to the world the Forces of Destruction.

In the World of Faeo, the races inhabiting the two continents of Ogriy and Khair, followed a great confusion of faiths and gods and waged endless wars. The Orcs carried out raids into the Elts Vale, which was largely inhabited by Gnomes and Dwarfs, who had previously coexisted in peace and harmony. But as the warlike Orcs took away their land, hatred and discontent grew, sowing the seeds of enmity between these races. Embittered, the Gnomes divided the land in the Elts Vale, so that the famed Eltsian Springs with their healing waters went to them, while the Dwarfs were left with nothing. Then the peace-loving Dwarfs, led by the brave Fawlius, went to war against the Gnomes. There was terrible carnage, which went down in history as the Turmoil. The Eltsian Springs ran with blood and lost their miraculous properties, the lands of the vale dried up and the air was filled with fear.

The continent of Ogriy was inhabited by the race of Humans. The Humans stood out from the broad mass of inhabitants in the World of Faeo for their higher level of intelligence. The Humans were not much given to fighting, but worked hard, pursued scholarship and achieved certain heights in this area. Yet although they rejected fighting between the races as a means of solving conflicts, the Humans were forced to go to war and prove their might in combat. These events occurred after the sage, Fionius, had made a rousing speech to a crowd of armed Dark Elves, who had come with hostile intent to the walls of the city where the Humans dwelt. But instead of heeding the voice of goodness and reason, the Dark Elves pierced the speaker with a poisoned arrow. The Humans, outraged at the Elves’ baseness and perfidy, took up weapons and battle commenced. Many Humans fell to the swords of the barbarians, but the Elves perished in even greater numbers. The concept of tactics and strategy were alien to this ignorant tribe, thus the Humans triumphed, but the price of victory was great.

On the continent of Khair, at the foot of an active volcano known as the Bloodthirsty Monster, there lived the race of Magmars. Legend has it that these beings emerged from the depths of the volcano and that in their veins flows molten lava. The Magmars are also distinguished by their exceptional physical prowess and strength of spirit. The leader of the race of Magmars was the mighty Andelvan. The secret of his might was that, unlike those of other races, he knew something of the Power of Fire Magic, which he had inherited from his ancestors. Andelvan’s magic powers came from the Rod of Fire, from which he was never parted even for an instant. This magic rod was passed on to him by his grandmother, Egiam, as she lay dying, but she died before she could teach her grandson how to master it. Egiam departed for the other world, while Andelvan, an inquisitive youth, developed his magical powers himself, drawing his energy from the Rod of Fire. As his abilities developed, so did his vanity, rampant egotism and lust for power. Once he came of age, Andelvan gathered around him the strongest of the Magmars and used the power of his words to convince them they were invulnerable, bending their reason to his will.

His Magic lacked the strength to become a powerful destructive force that would swallow up the weaker races, therefore Andelvan decided to share his knowledge of magic with his comrades, so that in future the great race of Magmars might use their fire magic to subjugate the world. But his schemes were not to be. The Humans’ wise men had foretold the destruction of the World of Faeo “at the hands of a fiery creature with a flaming staff in its hand…”.

The Humans, horrified at the words of the prophecy, decided to prevent the end of the world and hired the assassin, Goh Zanar, who was renowned for his cruelty. One moonlit night, the ruthless assassin stole into Andelvan’s dwelling and raised his sword over the sleeping Magmar. Andelvan opened his eyes and saw the bloodshot eyes before him. He grabbed the Rod of Fire, but this was not enough to save his life. The assassin’s sword smote the rod and pierced Andelvan through the heart. The shattered Rod of Fire lost its magic powers and disappeared into oblivion.

When the Magmars learnt of their leader’s death, the lust for revenge clouded their minds. Blinded by rage, they set about crushing everything in their path, sparing neither young nor old. The wave of bloodshed engulfed every corner of the World of Faeo. Orcs, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings and Elves all fell victim to the Magmars’ violence In the end only two races survived, the Humans and Magmars. They lived on different continents and waged endless wars, the original meaning and purpose of their enmity long forgotten.

After these fierce battles, only malice and hatred remained in the land, embodied in the power of death, which gave birth to new beings: Zombies, Vampires and Skeletons. They filled the world with negative energy, breathing the spirit of death into living beings. It was as if the unspent magic floating in the air were trying to tear through Faeo’s atmosphere and deliver it up to the ravages of Chaos. An endless barrage of natural disasters: tornados, hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions, rained down on the world and sapped its natural environment.

It seemed there was to be no salvation and that Chaos would soon rule supreme over all living creatures, when suddenly the heavens parted and, rocked gently by the wind’s embrace, Sheara, Mistress of the Dragons, appeared. Her bright face lit up the heavens, as if her whole being were enveloped in an aura of goodness. Sheara was known as the successor to the god A’Aron the Just, whose profound wisdom and fairness in resolving disputes had won him the love and respect of many high-born races.

Sheara looked with sorrow upon the ruins of the World of Faeo. She spoke to the people and her words were prophetic. She told them: “Stars used to shine in your sky, leaves grew on your trees, birds sang in your windows, yet you destroyed it all. You have covered the land in a bloody shroud and caused the sky to burn with the glow of death. You have sapped the very Fundament and allowed Chaos to encroach, entwining the World of Faeo in its tentacles. Now, with every New Moon, your world will be threatened with collapse and destruction, as at the New Moon the Servants of Chaos come together and acquire a fearsome strength.

I have come to help you. I will use the energy of each race to create two dragons. The first Great Dragon, Erifarius, will be the embodiment of the Humans, and the second Great Dragon, Striagorn, the Magmars. These dragons are my faithful servants. They will be a driving force that will help you to resist the encroachment of the Servants of Chaos. At the next New Moon Erifarius and Striagorn will come together in a duel, which only one of them can win. The stronger dragon will then take on the energy of the other, so that their combined strength will suffice to withstand the dark forces of Chaos. And at every New Moon while you have energy left, the dragons will fight, but know that this cannot last for ever, the future depends on you alone…”

Online Browser Based Games
By Gavin Evans

ONE in TEN people you know is doing it RIGHT NOW.

In just three years, that could be SIX in TEN...and whether you are cashing in on this incredible market or not, they will be there, playing online browser based games, 24 hours a day.

The potential reach of the internet is incredible. With broadband (allowing quicker internet access) reaching more and more homes and internet cafés, the popularity of live interaction with others online is booming.

It is the speed of today's home internet connections that is driving this market. In the USA, nearly 75% of internet users had broadband at home last year, up from 57% only one year previous...and internet usage in India increased by 54% in one year alone.

The internet is the fastest growing market in the history of the world but there is currently one market that is growing at four times the rate of overall internet growth. People are no longer just using the web for gathering information anymore; they now see it as a primary source of entertainment. The popularity of this trend is even beginning to eat into TV-viewing figures and as a result it is affecting TV advertising revenue. Meanwhile, in-game advertising is forecast to grow by 70% year-on-year, to be worth billions of dollars in just three years time. Therefore, it's no real surprise that TV companies are determined to secure their piece of online games real estate - buying businesses, launching games sites and placing their content online in an interactive form.

Alex Burmaster, European Internet Analyst, Nielsen/NetRatings (a global leader in internet media and market research) said, "Take the fact that the online games sector is growing at four times the rate of overall internet growth together with the increasing numbers online and it is easy to see why companies such as MTV Networks are looking to get a piece of the action."

The online browser based games sector has been identified as the next step in the evolution of online entertainment and people of all ages, from around the globe, are already playing in their millions. And within this sector, "casual skill-based games" heads the popularity table.

What are casual skill games?

Casual games of skill are familiar, enjoyable online computer games such as:

Shooting games online

Online sport games

Online pool games

Online puzzle games

Basketball games online

Online dart games

These types of games are played in a tournament style format online, with each individual paying a cash entry fee to participate and with a cash or merchandise prize going to the winner or winners of the tournament. Skill-based games are given this name due to the fact that the outcome of each competition is based on the players' ability and performance, with any elements of luck eliminated. Therefore, skill games are not classed as gambling and as a result avoid falling under most countries' strict anti-gambling statutes.

People around the world like to play these online computer games for a fun and exciting challenge. Playing them online against someone else adds an extra social and competitive element; and competing for cash prizes between USD$1 and $1,000 upwards adds an extra dynamic that makes them even more exciting and rewarding!

There are millions of people from all over the world playing online browser based games at this very moment and this figure is set to treble over the coming three years. If you are interested in making an additional income, there are a few good skill games sites that actually offer affiliate programs; so you now have the opportunity to tap into this incredible market right at the start of the next huge global growth wave.
