News::Final Exam Review | Saving Content

Excerpt: "Co-op supports up to 4-players, online and off. Regardless of difficulty, the game scales the enemy count to match whats on-screen. Each of the difficulties also felt appropriate, and is expertly balanced. Every level takes about 30 minutes to get through depending on how much you explore, and can be completed in roughly 4-5 hours. Colors are fully saturated and just absolutely pop off the screen with such an intense vibrancy. Character animations move with fluidity and great speed. Its such a treat just to sit and stare at this game."

MX:Infinity Ward goofs up on the campaign with a dull story and a totally forgettable villain, but they recover on the multiplayer side with some very nice maps, great bots AI, the usual frenzied gameplay and the highly addicting Extinction mode. Overall, though, CoD Ghosts lacks the magnificence and innovation we would have expected from IW's new work after the Modern Warfare trilogy.

News::Holy Disappointment Batman

Well they released another Batman game. Is it bigger and better than before? Nope, not at all. Go in hoping for another great Batman experience and instead are left with a bad taste in your mouths. There is no way around it. Origins disappoints. There are countless bugs to this date that have not been fixed. And when the game is playable, you have to power through a poor excuse of a story. Luckily it has multiplayer. So we can crap on that too. This added feature doesnt bring anything worthwhile to the table. There is not much game here. But what amount of game is present is pretty good. Origins isnt the game we want. Nor is it the game we deserve.

3D:Ghosts appear in a delicate moment: With the new generation consoles almost in the window, and the Call of Duty formula worn after years of war in these consoles. The ammunition is scarce and it is something that is beginning to be felt in this work Infinity Ward, which is far from the stratospheric levels of quality than in the past offered the franchise.

News::Richard Garriot shows off Shroud of the Avatar's progress





Richard Garriot, of Ultima fame, is working on a new role-playing game called Shroud of the Avatar . The game was successfully Kickstarted back in the spring, and Garriot just shared twenty-five minutes of what the game looks like after six months of development. He narrates over the video and shows off player housing, the conversation system, crafting, and some combat.


Conversations with non-player characters will work by letting the player type in what they want to say, and the game will pull out key words to figure out the conversation. I personally love this, and it is far better than the current system of "good choice" or "bad choice" options that water down most modern role-playing games.

DC - "The premise of Call of Duty: Ghosts is a lot like that of 24 Season 6; the calamity isnt prevented, the nuke goes off, and a load of people are blown up, although in the case of Ghosts its technically a giant space laser used to fry California. Think the Hammer of Dawn but bigger and youre halfway there. Infinity Wards latest game combines a grim future with familiar gameplay, and takes the series in an interesting, if slightly confused, new direction."

News::Divinity: Dragon Commander Review - AGR

Divinity: Dragon Commander is set in the same world as Divinity 1 & 2. Both previous instalments were RPG games that focused on either becoming a dragon or helping rid the world of evil. Dragon Commander takes on the world from a different perspective, giving a more leadership approach to the player with the duties of interacting with governments and fighting wars on several fronts. Trust me when I say, the tutorial at the start of the campaign is but a walk in the mark compared to what you face later on.
