LORD NATAS Ramblings

Hello fellow gamers,
Well I have been very busy with work and it never helps when you feel under the weather as well:( I have been playing some Call Of Duty 2 multiplayer and it has been a blast. I also have downloaded the Quake 4 1.4 beta patch and there are some really cool mods out there for that already. One server has just railguns but there is different types of them which is really awesome.

I picked up ShadowGrounds finally but haven't had the time to get into the game yet, but I am really looking forward to pounding this one out. I am sure that all of you already know that I play a lot of MultiPrey when there is someone actually playing and I have pretty much been dominating in that one:) it is just awesome and I wish that more people played it!! March Madness is almost upon us and I am not talking about B-Ball but actually the kick ass games that are coming out this month....

1. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
2. Titan Quest Immortal Throne
3. G.R.A.W. 2 (DeathofU and I have to finish the first one)
4. Oblivion expansion


I will be getting an XBOX 360 soon because I made a deal with J.Z. and it really looks like he has done his part so I must finish the deal. I am really looking forward playing Lost Planet and of course the new Star Wars game that will be coming sometime in November!!!

DeathofU news of the week.

Vista selling poorly Microsoft blaming pirates. I blame microsoft for sending something this crappy out to market in the first place. It needed another 6 months at least to get descent hardware drivers out. The 64 bit version for programs is useless.
Wow it looks pretty.

Nvida cards you bought 3 months ago will at least take 6 months to get driver for the SLI to work. Wow.

Review: Call of Duty

Hello fellow gamers,
I never had a chance to play this one and I am really glad that I took the time to do it! The game was just a blast to play and if anyone hadn't played this one you really owe it to yourself to get it and play it.


Pros
1. Everything in this game was put together perfectly.. story, sound, etc.
2. Graphics still look good
3. Missions were entertaining
4. Cheap price to pick up now
5. The credit scene is really cool

Cons
1. A.I. was questionable in a few places but overall a great job by Infinity Ward!!!

until next time..

Lord Natas's destiny will be fulfilled!

Hello fellow gamers,
Just got the official word that LucasArts have just announced the game that I have been waiting for. It will be called Star Wars: Force Unleashed

here is a quote about the game courtesy of GamesRadar...


The first details of LucasArts' PS3 and Xbox 360 Star Wars project have finally emerged, from the latest issue of Game Informer.

It's called Star Wars: Force Unleashed and takes place between Episode III and Episode IV, when new Sith on the block Darth Vader is out to wipe the galaxy clean of runaway Jedi.

As Vader's apprentice, you're on a secret mission to dive head-first into the forbidden Dark Side of the force, take out the emperor and rule the galaxy as master and apprentice. Awww.

Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are being developed in-house at Lucasarts, while PS2, PSP and DS duties have been outsourced to another, unnamed developer.

George Lucas reportedly has a lot of input in the project, and even helped design some of the characters.

Force Unleashed uses LucasArts' much-touted Eurphoria engine, which calculates environmental damage such as smashing crates in real-time. One given example of the tech is how a tree will either break in two or splinter realistically depending on how you hit it. Likewise, steel will dent appropriately when damaged your fancy Force powers.

And speaking of Force powers, many of the world-bending tricks from the E3 tech demo are present in Force Unleashed, including the "cannon ball"-like force push, with controls presented in a similar vein to the excellent Psi-Ops.

One scene reportedly has you battling Jedi Knight Shaak Ti in the Jedi Temple, after the galaxy-wide order to exterminate the Jedi. There's also the suggestion of being able to control your own pack of Rancors, the gigantic beasties that Jabba the Hutt likes to keep under his control.

But we all know how Star Wars ends so it's going to be a very predictable cock-up for Vadar's Palpatine-trouncing plans, right? LucasArts promises to shake up the Star Wars lore with alternate endings in Unleashed, where the bad guys really can win.

I will be an XBOX 360 owner for this one!!!

until I force choke someone..

Review: Splinter Cell Double Agent

Hello fellow Fishers,
I feel that this game is just a missed opportunity from UbiSoft. The bugs in this game has just totally ruined the experience compared to Chaos Theory. If Double Agent was made with the older game engine it would've been a classic, but I can only recommend this game if you have a very high end computer. Sam Fisher is a lot more clumsy in this game than the previous ones.


Pros
1. Being a Double Agent is cool
2. Graphics are outstanding at times ( China's New Year was just awesome)
3. Audio is topnotch
4. Save anywhere
5. The ending was satisfying and tense
6. Locations were beautiful
7. Breaking through the ice and taking out an enemy was very satisfying

Cons
1. BUGS, BUGS, BUGS!
2. A.I. was not top notch like it used to be
3. Sam felt clumsy instead of a graceful killer


until next time..

Review: Red Faction 2

Hello fellow Nano users,
The best way to sum up this game is that it is a blast! Never was I bored in this game and if you liked the first one you will love this one even more. What stands out on this game is the non-stop action that you are gonna be dealing with. I think that Outrage games did a great job of making this game and it is just amazing how "confusing" the maps are but you never really get lost. I picked this game up for $10.00 and I suggest you do the same. It was just announced that they will be working on a Red Faction 3 so you can count me in to help the cause...



Pros

1. Weapons are really neat. Everything is here to get the job done!
2. Sci-Fi shooter at its best
3. You use tanks, subs, you name it on this one.
4. Game play was fresh and never got dull.
5. Some of the boss battles were really neat.
6. Graphics are acceptable ( I remember this game bringing my FX 5900 to it's knees)
7. Audio does the job.
8. Double "F" ( f#@king fun)

Cons
1. A.I. is spotty (but I didn't expect it to be F.E.A.R.)
2. Story is on the cliche' side
3. No quick saves
4. Ending could've had more substance


until next time...

The Witcher gets publishing deal with Atari!

Hello fellow gamers,
I have been waiting for this game to find a publisher for North America and it has just been announced that Atari is gonna take it. I am really excited about this R.P.G. because it has a dark mature theme that really appeals to me. The game will be using a modified Neverwinter engine so lets hope all the shortcomings of NWN 2 don't make it in this gem of a game!


until next time...
