Top 3 PC game Most wanted

noreply@blogger.com (mobsurf) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:19:00 +0000

BioShock
Publisher: 2K Games | Developer: Irrational Games | Release Date: June

What is it? Pretty much the same highbrow, dystopian game we told you about on 360: You discover an undersea city that served as the home of a near-cult of crazed Libertarians. Only, things have taken a turn for the extremely weird.
Why should I care? An unusual setting, an unusual premise, and some really, really unusual characters and enemies all but guarantee that this game's going to be very...unusual.
What's the prognosis? Really good. The developers of the awesome System Shock series know how to make things creepy, for sure.

Crysis
Publisher: Electronic Arts | Developer: Crytek | Release Date: September

What is it? One of the most graphically stunning games we've ever seen. Like Crytek's previous game Far Cry, Crysis boast a tropical setting and open-ended FPS gameplay.
Why should I care? OK, so you're not a graphics whore. There's more to this one than a pretty face. For example, your character boasts an ultra-high-tech nanosuit that confers powers bordering on the superhuman. You'll also get an array of 32-person multiplayer matches that make use of the unique tactical features of the suit. And of course, you'll get the "sandbox" map builder to create your own content.
What's the prognosis? The system requirements for this puppy are through the roof...but if you've got a machine that can actually run it, you should be one happy little soldier.

Dragon Age
Publisher: BioWare | Developer: BioWare | Release Date: Fall

What is it? A new RPG from arguably the finest developers of RPGs in the Western Hemisphere. Dragon Age appears to step away from the clean-cut medieval formula and into some dark territory, with a story influenced by mature fantasy like George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Why should I care? While Dragon Age is certainly a fine looking game, it's not about the looks; it's about the story. Story is so important that you'll actually play through an "origin story" -- a sort of prequel to the main game -- that's different depending on you choice of character. Which sub-race you choose will influence not only your origin story, but also the way other characters respond to you throughout the game.
What's the prognosis? It looks incredible. What more can we say?

Diablo 3 Review

noreply@blogger.com (mobsurf) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 07:44:00 +0000

Diablo III is a hack-n-slash role-playing game with a focus on collecting fantastical weapons, armor, and skills. Only two of five character classes are currently known: the Barbarian (a brute force warrior) and the Witchdoctor (a combat sorcerer who can raise undead minions). The goal is to trudge through a demon-infested world and defeat the minions of Diablo, the Lord of Terror, while gaining loot and experience points. This hack-n-slash RPG pits players against hordes of enemies such as zombies, demons, and the legions of Hell. You collect items, armor, and weapons to create more powerful characters, and join up with friends online to tackle extra-powerful demon hordes.

Torchlight gameplay

noreply@blogger.com (mobsurf) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:46:00 +0000

Gameplay

The player controls a lone hero who explores a series of randomized dungeons, where they fight large numbers of enemies and collect equipment, gold, and other loot. The game also features a single town which serves as a hub, to which the player character can periodically return to buy and sell items toNPC vendors and obtain quests. As the protagonist delves into the dungeon, they are presented with a series of quests and battle a series of unique bosses that advance the main storyline. Optionally, players may take on side quests, random quests or visit branching dungeon areas. The graphics are 3D and viewed from an overhead perspective, similar to the isometric perspective used in the originalDiablo. The game is controlled using a point-and-click mouse interface and keyboard hotkeys.

The game generates each level of the dungeon by assembling modular "chunks" of the game environment. Each chunk is designed by hand and may be composed of multiple rooms. They can contain scripted events and interactive objects such as levers that open secret doors or cause bridges to move. This approach to level generation is intended to create dungeons with more purposeful design, instead of environments that simply look like "crossword puzzles that have been extruded upwards."

As in Fate, players have a permanent pet which fights alongside them and can carry and sell loot. The initial pet can be either a wolf dog or a lynx, and players can feed the pet fish to transform it into different creatures.

Also present in the game is a retirement system, in which players can pass on an heirloom item from an old character to a newly-created one, likened to a New Game Plus game mode.

Character classes

Torchlight features three character classes.

The Destroyer is a wandering warrior skilled in melee combat, although he also has the ability to call upon ancestral spirits to produce magical effects.
The Alchemist is a spellcaster drawn to magical power of Ember. He can fire blasts of magic and electricity from his specialized focus glove and can summon imps and steampunk-styled robots.
The Vanquisher is an elite city guard, sent undercover to investigate the town of Torchlight. She specializes in ranged weapons and can also use traps against her foes.

The player develops their character by placing points into class-specific skill trees. Further, there is a separate class of spells that any character can learn from scrolls, regardless of class.

After story about xbox 360 phone, now how about a mind-controlled game that Nintendo is proposing? T3 gives a little clue that all you have is a headset accessory that uses brainwaves to control characters and features immersing in-ear headphones. So just imagine a streamlined Wii emote with just one button, which you point and press and rest your brain takes over. Though brain-wave technology has already become a reality with Emotive pioneering in-game systems, but soon it seems Nintendo will come out with the first mind-controlled console on the market.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

noreply@blogger.com (mobsurf) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:03:00 +0000

Star Wars: The Old Republic (TOR) is an upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game based in the Star Wars universe.Currently in development by BioWare Austin and a supplemental team at BioWare Edmonton, the game was first announced on October 21, 2008 at an invitation-only press event. The Old Republic will be released as a PC title. A novelization related to the game is scheduled to come out "around the game release time."

Members of the two main factions – the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire – will have different moralities; the project's key focus is to differentiate between the player's faction and morality.Each faction will contain different classes, Five classes have been confirmed: the Bounty Hunter and Sith Warrior^[10] for the Sith Empire, and the Trooper, Smuggler, and Jedi Knight for the Galactic Republic. Although each class will have a distinct storyline, they will be integrated with the game's overall arc.Gameplay

Players' choices will permanently open or close storylines and affect players' (NPC) companions. The game's developers believe that the game will provide more context for characters' missions and quests than other MMORPGs offer. Every character in the game, including the player character, will feature full voice dialog to enhance gameplay, and interactions with those characters will feature a dialogue system similar to that used in the Mass Effect series.Players will be able to choose from a variety of NPCs, although spending time with a single companion will help more in developing story and content than dividing time among several, and may even develop a love interest. It is possible for players to "blow it big time" if they fail to meet NPCs' expectation. Players will also have access to dozens of planets, including Korriban, Ord Mantell, Nal Hutta, Tython, Coruscant,andBalmorra.

[edit]Setting

The Galactic Republic stood for generations as a bastion of peace in a galaxy of warring star systems. Protected by its stalwart Jedi guardians, the Republic held the greatest hope for the progress of civilization and galactic unity. Deep in unknown space, however, a mighty Sith Empire was forged, led by dark Sith Lords who dreamt of galactic domination and vengeance against their ancient Jedi enemies. After centuries of preparation, the time came for the Sith to make their return. With a massive fleet and an awe-inspiring army of fearless troops, the Sith Emperor launched a surprise assault, quickly capturing dozens of worlds in the Outer Rim, and sparking a war unlike any other in the galaxy’s history. From the frozen wastes of Ilum to the desert plains of Dathomir, violent battles killed untold millions. Despite its avowed neutrality, surface structures on the water-covered world of Manaan were completely destroyed, forcing the Selkath to retreat to their ocean underworld. Other star systems fared worse—some destroyed, others left uninhabitable. The carnage concluded with the Sith Empire sacking the Republic's capital planet of Coruscant and forcing the Republic Senate into the controversial Treaty of Coruscant. In the years since the treaty, fear and uncertainty have gripped the galaxy, enabling the Sith Emperor to pursue his own mysterious purposes while the Republic has made efforts to rebuild its infrastructure and adjust military priorities to the new galactic landscape. Now, tensions between the Republic and the Empire are running high, and a series of border skirmishes and proxy wars have broken out, even on planets as historically peaceful as Alderaan. The uneasy truce established by the Treaty of Coruscant is quickly tearing apart at the seams, and a return to all-out war has begun in all but official terms. A new generation of heroes, both light and dark, emerges to face the difficulties of these chaotic times, and fight for the fate of the galaxy in this most desperate age.

[edit]Plot

The story takes place in the Star Wars fictional universe shortly after the establishment of a tenuous peace between the re-emergent Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, 300 years after the events of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games and more than 3,500 years before the events in the Star Wars films. The Jedi are held responsible for the success of the Sith and chose to relocate from Coruscant to Tython, where the Jedi order had been initially founded, to seek guidance from the Force.The Sith control Korriban, where they re-established a Sith Academy. The game begins as new conflicts arise.

A collaborative effort between Bioware, Lucasarts and Dark Horse Comics has resulted in a webcomic entitled "Star Wars: The Old Republic: Threat of Peace", the purpose of which is to set up the story as the game opens.

[edit]Development

The Old Republic marks BioWare's first entry into the MMORPG market,and it will be the second Star Wars MMORPG after Star Wars Galaxies. Bioware had long been interested in working on a MMORPG, but waited until they had "the right partners, the right team, and the right I.P."A major focus in the game is on developing characters' individual stories and, in October 2008, BioWare considered this game to have more story content than all of their other games combined. The writing team, which has been working on the game longer than any other developers, includes 12 full-time writers, some of whom have worked on the project for more than two years. The game's first cinematic trailer, "Deceived," was shown at the Electronic Arts 2009 E3 Press Conference on June 1, 2009. A public live demo was shown for the first time at the Gamescom.On September 29, 2009, Bioware announced that they would be accepting applications for testers from the game community. Within minutes, the official website was down due to traffic, and Bioware announced shortly after that the site was being changed in order to accommodate the increase in visitors. No date was given in regard to when the selected testers would be allowed to test the game.

Uncharted 2 : among thieves Gameplay

noreply@blogger.com (mobsurf) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:36:00 +0000

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is an action-adventure video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It is the sequel to the 2007 game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Officially announced in the December 2008 issue of Game Informer, the game was released in North America on October 13, 2009, and in Europe on October 16, 2009.

Uncharted 2 is a third-person perspective action-adventure game, with the player in control of Nathan Drake. Nathan is physically adept and is able to jump, climb, and scale along narrow ledges and wall faces to get between points. Nathan can be equipped with up to two firearms—a single-handed gun and a two-handed weapon—and a limited supply of grenades; Nathan can pick up weapons, automatically replacing the existing weapon he was using, and additional ammo from downed foes. The player can direct Nathan to take cover behind corners or low walls using either aimed or blind-fire to kill his enemies. The player can also have Nathan free-fire while moving. If Nathan is undetected by his enemies, the player can attempt to use stealth to take out enemies, such as by sneaking up behind them to knock them out with one hit, or by pulling an unsuspecting foe over a ledge that Nathan is hanging from. Some areas of the game require the player to solve a puzzle with the use of Nathan's diary that provides clues towards its solution. When enabled, a hint system provides the player direction of where their next objective is.Gameplay

Throughout the game are special treasures that may be hidden or in difficult-to-reach places that the player can collect. Collecting these treasures, along with completing certain feats within the game, tracked by the awarding of Trophies, give the player in-game money to use to unlock extra content on the disc, including concept art, game movies, and game cheats such as guns with infinite ammo.

Multiplayer

Uncharted 2 also features both competitive and co-operative multiplayer. The co-op multiplayer allows a maximum of three players to take the roles of Nathan and two other 'hero' companions and features missions involving gunfights, platforming, and teamwork-based objectives. Players can also assist their comrades should they become critically injured or be grabbed by an enemy.

The competitive multiplayer allows a maximum of ten players to play against each other. Four competitive modes are featured:'Deathmatch', 'Plunder', 'Elimination' and 'Chain Reaction'. Deathmatch features two teams of five, with one team acting as 'heroes' and the other as 'villains'. Players can choose their own appropriate character models (such as Nathan, Sully, Elena, and new characters Tenzin and Chloe for the 'heroes' team). As players accrue points and rank up, they can purchase more skins for both heroes and villans.Players can select two Boost abilities which assist them in the matches. Plunder is similar to the traditional capture the flag game mode, and sees each team attempt to capture the treasure from a central point in the map and return it to their base; the player carrying the treasure is slowed down a great deal, and may also choose to hurl the treasure away at any point, in order to keep it out of reach of the enemy, or to pass it to a teammate.'Elimination' has two teams of five players against each other with the objective of killing everyone on the other team. In Elimination, the player does not respawn. The goal is to eliminate the other team three out of five times. 'Chain Reaction' has the player capturing flags, but the player must do them in a specific order - one team works out from their base needing to capture 1 through 5 while the other team starts out from their home and needs to snag 5 through 1.

'Gold Rush' is a cooperative mode of play where 2-3 players must team up to get a treasure, randomly spawned on the map, and take it back to their base much like Plunder. However, All enemies try to stop the players from returning the treasure. If a player goes down and is not revived before the timer goes out, they will not come back until the next round. In each consecutive round the enemies become tougher to defeat.

Due to the reduction of the quality of the game's visuals if a split-screen multiplayer were to be included, there is no offline multiplayer for the time being.

On September 15, 2009, another beta was released and expired on October 12, 2009.

An open beta was released to the EU and US on the September 29, 2009 via the PSN store.

This new frontier in rhythm gaming is electrifyingly fun, but the cover charge is steep.

The Good

Diverse, entertaining tracklist
Well-crafted turntable peripheral
Difficulty levels range from very welcoming to very challenging
Captures the thrill of creating a hot mix.

The Bad

Costs as much as two full-price games
Crossfader tab can be tricky
Doesn't embrace creativity of actual mixing.

As is the case with almost every rhythm game out there, playing DJ Hero will not prepare you to be an actual DJ. The songs are premixed, the sound effects are preloaded, and the wheel (just one) of steel is actually plastic. Yet, as is also the case with many rhythm games, this is no barrier to having a whole lot of fun. DJ Hero comes with a turntable peripheral that is well engineered and responsive, though it may take a little ingenuity and creative furniture rearrangement to find your optimal playing position. There's a large, diverse catalog of energetic mixes to choose from, many of which are fun just to listen to, let alone play. As you get the hang of tapping, scratching, and crossfading, DJ Hero grabs a hold of you like the best rhythm games do, drawing you into the music and triggering the adrenal rush of performance. Unfortunately, the price of admission to this show is steep: the game and the required turntable cost as much as two full-price games, and significantly more than other single-instrument rhythm games. And those hoping to flex some creative muscle will likely be disappointed with the limited opportunities to do so. Yet despite these drawbacks, DJ Hero is immensely entertaining, and manages to earn its place as a sparkling new star in the rhythm game heavens.

FEAR 2

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is a horror first-person shooter video game, developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros.for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is a sequel to F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon and was released in February 2009.

The F.E.A.R. 2 gameplay maintains the core elements from the original, including slo-mo combat, martial arts attacks, and enhanced A.I. The A.I. from the original F.E.A.R. was known for its exploitation of the environments, taking cover behind pillars and knocking down tables.^{[citation needed]} The A.I. in F.E.A.R. 2 set to out-do what was achieved in the first, with even more intelligent A.I. that is far more challenging and aggressive^{[citation needed]}, of which will keep you on your toes and reacts more realistically to how you play than the first F.E.A.R.^[5] New features in the game include iron sight aiming, creating cover by pushing objects, and the ability to use mechs during vehicle segments. Project Origin features a more diverse cast of enemies, as well as more encounters with supernatural enemies.[edit]Gameplay

F.E.A.R. 2 does not allow the player to manually save and features a single save slot. However, the game allows the player to replay any level from the main menu after first completing that level.

TRINE (2009)

noreply@blogger.com (mobsurf) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:15:00 +0000

Trine is a side-scrolling action platform and puzzle video game, available for the PC and PlayStation Network. It was developed by the Finnish company Frozenbyte. The game was released on PC on July 3, 2009. The PSN version was to be released in July 2009, but last-minute bugs discovered in testing close to its release date caused its delay. Eventually it was released on September 17, 2009 for the EU and on October 22, 2009 for NA. A version for Xbox Live Arcade is being developed by Atlus.

Gameplay

The player controls and switches between three different characters (a thief, a knight, and a wizard) to try to complete levels. There is also a cooperative play feature, whereby multiple players can join in at any time to control different characters simultaneously.
Each character has their own health and energy meter. Energy is used for certain weapons and abilities, and is replenished by blue-colored bottles found throughout levels. Health is replenished by collecting heart-shaped containers, which result from destroying certain enemies.
The player also has a single experience rating that is shared among all characters, and is incremented by acquiring green-colored bottles found throughout levels. Every 50 experience points, each character is given one point towards the purchase of upgrades to their abilities.
Treasure chests are also spread throughout levels, each containing a charm that offers the bearing character new or upgraded abilities. The player can transfer these objects between characters, though some will only have an affect on certain characters.
Checkpoints are spread throughout levels, in the form of silver orbs on pedestals. Upon crossing a checkpoint, any deceased characters are brought back to life, and any characters below a certain amount of health and energy are replenished by that amount. The amount of energy and health replenished is dependent upon the difficulty setting chosen by the player.
When a character dies, the player must choose another living character to continue playing the level. If all three characters die, the player is sent back to the last checkpoint crossed, and all three characters are resurrected.
Enemies primarily include walking skeletons and bats, along with boss characters, like giant skeletons and other large creatures. Some skeletons are armed with swords, others with bows and arrows, some spit fire, and some have shields. Skeletons are capable of scaling walls. Other dangers include lava, fireballs, giant sharp pendulums, and various other booby traps.
Trine utilizes Nvidia's PhysX physics engine to provide objects and characters full physics interaction.

Dragon Age Origins

noreply@blogger.com (mobsurf) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:10:00 +0000

Dragon Age: Origins, (also known as Dragon Age), is a computer role-playing game currently in development by BioWare's Edmonton studio. The game will be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on November 3, 2009. Bioware has stated that the game will run "very well" on Windows 7, released just two weeks before Dragon Age.
Dragon Age: Origins utilizes a new game engine named Eclipse. It has been confirmed that a toolset for creation of fan-made content will be included. The game will be single-player only and not provide LAN support. BioWare co-CEO Ray Muzyka describes Dragon Age: Origins as a 'spiritual successor' to the Baldur's Gate series, though it is not based on Dungeons & Dragons.

The designers are incorporating 'origin' stories for each race and some classes in the game. For example, a Dwarf Noble will begin the game as part of the royal family in one of the Dwarven cities, and a Dwarf Commoner will begin on the streets of the city. Origin stories determine the background of the player's character prior to the main events of the game's story, forming an introduction to the game world while also comprising hours of game-play. People that the player meets during the origin story may reappear throughout the game, some of whom may be adversaries.
There is no tracking of alignment as in previous BioWare games, but the moral choices of the main character throughout the game will still affect the story. The player may save the world whether choosing to be good or evil, but the decisions that the player makes in the process will change the game world – deciding who will become King, for example, and affecting nations and races and their places in the world. These decisions will also influence the companion NPCs, possibly causing an NPC to leave the partyor even attack the player.
As with the Baldur's Gate series, players will be able to issue orders to NPCs in real time or while the game is paused, and queue up actions such as spells and special attacks.
Several of the game's features have been confirmed.There will be three base classes to choose from: the rogue, the warrior, and the mage. These classes can be upgraded later into a specialized class. The confirmed specialization classes are Berserker and Templar for the warrior, and Shapeshifter for the mage. The six character backgrounds are Human Noble, Human/Elf Mage, Dalish Elf, City Elf, Dwarf Commoner, and Dwarf Noble. The game will use a party system similar to that of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, in that it will feature the main character with up to three active party members, chosen from a large pool of NPC's in the game. The camera will be over the shoulder third person view when zoomed in, and an isometric-style view when zoomed out. The spells in the game will interact with the effects of others. For example, a blizzard spell would put out the flames caused by hitting something with a grease spell and then a fire spell.
