Review: Alpha Prime demo

Hello fellow gamers,
I decided to cleanup my download folder on my hardrive and I came across a demo for this game. I really don't remember downloading the demo.. (see what happens when you get older) I started playing it and I liked what I played so far. The beginning of the demo reminds me of Doom 3 when you have to replenish your oxygen so you don't bite the bullet! If you are interested in the game check out the website for the game here


I can assure you that I will be cranking this one out when it is available because I am a sucker for Sci-fi gaming:)


until release..

LORD NATAS


UPDATE..
I got more information on the game and it is in fact using the Doom 3 engine.. I guess there is a good reason why it reminded me of Doom 3 huh?? LOL

Review: Oblivion Shivering Isles

Hello fellow champions of Cyrodill,

Well I have to say that I was very impressed with this expansion but it is painstaking clear that my character is just to powerful to really to go on. If your character is over level 30 nothing will really challenge you in this game. The game looks fantastic and the story is top notch and will keep you interested to the very end. I have so much armor and weapons that it is really scary.. One of the coolest parts of the game is when you have to take on your shadow to get a part of a staff. This is where I got one of the coolest swords that I have ever seen and the damage it does is ludicrous. I strongly recommend this expansion do to the story and quests! I really enjoyed playing this!!!!

Pros
1. Graphics are awesome
2. Audio is top notch
3. Worthy expansion (15-20 hours)
4. The new worlds are very cool
5. More time in Oblivion is never a bad thing!
6. Quests are unique and fun to do

Cons
1. Not very challenging for someone over level 30. I can carry over 700 pounds and still jump on a roof of a house from ground level.. if this game was only online;)
2. This could've been my last ride in Oblivion unless I they make another expansion pak
3. The toughest quest for me was getting the "Chalice Of Reversal" because it involves taking a poison that makes you lose strength and endurance!


until next expansion????.........

Retro Review: Medal Of Honor Allied Assault

Hello fellow gamers,

I know this game has been out since 2002 but I never actually got around to play it all the way through. I think its kinda bad that I can sit down and finish a game in one setting doncha think? ( Only break was eating and watching a movie with my wife Medusa). I really liked this game but I really feel that Call Of Duty series is just better but I am looking forward to the new Medal Of Honor being done in the Unreal 3 engine:)

DeathofU and I had a blast playing the Multiplayer of this game until they started hacking the shit out of it! My favorite part of this game is mission 6 because it reminded me of playing through the forest in Multi when you can't see anyone:)


Pros
1. Game is very well put together
2. Missions are fun to do and objectives are clear
3. Storming Normandy never gets old!!
4. Sniper rifle is ruthless and the Sniper mission was awesome and challenging
5. Audio done nicely
6. Giving thanks to us gamers for picking up the game in the ending credits was neat!
7. The last mission of the game was fun getting the heck out of the facility!!

Cons
1. Graphics have not aged well
2. Storming Normandy is a BITCH!!!!!!!
3. My comrades would get in my way sometimes
4. A.I. is predictable.. but challenging in the "Sniper Dream" mission
5. Call Of Duty at times almost makes you feel like your there and not playing a game but this game never accomplishes that!

until I knock out the rest...

Lost Planet coming to PC

Hello fellow gamers,
I am very happy to report that Lost Planet is finding its way to PC. The game should be arriving in June but I won't actually play it until closer to the holidays because the atmosphere of the game is one you play when it's cold out:)

Check out the difference between the 360 and PC.. Thanks IGN for the screenshots!!!




until next time...

Review: El Matador

Hello fellow gamers,
I am really glad that I picked this game up even though I didn't know for sure if it was going to run! Make sure you download the patch before playing since it now has widescreen support.

This game was a blast to play and to snag it for ten bucks is really a bargain. It is Max Payne with a face lift but without the great story!!!


Pros
1. Nice graphics
2. Widescreen support
3. Runs great
4. I love bullet time

Cons
1. Short
2. Option of music changes everytime you get to a new save
3. Story is really cliche


until Max Payne 3 or Stranglehold....
