“Peggle Extreme is a variant of Peggle (Deluxe) from Popcap Games. It was offered with the Orange Box and it's not really a surprise: Popcap Games is also using Steam (mandatory when playing the Orange Box on PC) for broadcasting games made by them.
The story of Peggle Extreme is simple: you have to defend the Peggle Institute from invaders during 10 levels. Let me explain the gameplay. You have peggles on your screen. Peggles are these points or rectangles with different colors. Blue ones are the basic peggle, the orange ones are the ones you have to eliminate, the green ones are the speciality from your guide (in PE, it's only Bjorn the Unicorn and the fact that he can show the trajectory of your ball) and the rose one are point boosts and are chosen randomly when launching a new ball. The goal is to launch a ball and eliminate a maximum of peggles. I mean, with ten balls, you've had to eliminate every orange peggle, others being point bonuses. You have a bucket moving at the bottom and you can earn a...”
“Gears of War is one of the best shooters I have ever played. The graphics are awesome and well optimized. I can play it at 1280x800 with everything on high but shadows and no AA with a geforce 9500m gs.
Gears is something new. The cover system is good where it's more realistic than most shooters which you run around shooting the bad guys. This game forces you to take cover behind walls or barriers and shoot around corners. Not just run around in the open shooting people. When multiple locusts are all firing at you it's really intense.
The music is great because it goes perfectly with the game. This is probably the best shooter since halo. The story line isn't great but is not horrible. The humans are cog (coalition of human governments or something like that) and they are fighting locusts which are aliens that live underground.
The environments are post apocalyptic cities with run-down, damaged and piles of ruble from collapsed buildings. The atmosphere is dark and creepy to the point where it...”
“Freelancer is a space trader and combat simulation game made in 2003 for the PC by Microsoft. The game is a sequel, which leads on from the events (800 years later) of Starlancer that came out in 2000.
Edison Trent, a Freelancer in Sirius due to an attack on the Freeport he was staying on, has ended up in Liberty with no money and nowhere to go. Luckily for him, on plant Manhattan he meets a female from the LSF (Liberty Security Force) who offers him the most basic ship available with a small amount of money. You then start taking missions but things go from bad to worst in Sirius and you find yourself as a figurehead in the war for survival between humans and unknown race of a technology far beyond your own due to one tiny little artefact which will decide the fate of all.
In the story mode you end up travelling from Liberty to Bretonia, to Kusari and then on to Rheinland. These four sectors represent America, United Kingdom, Japan and Germany respectively (being the four places Freelancer really...”
“In 1775, Quianlong is the Emperor of China for 39 years. But someone wants to end his reign. That's what An, surintendant of the Imperial House, discovers when investigating the murder of Wang, the chief of eunuques of His Majesty. An has till the dawn to find the culprit... Will he find who is behind Wang's murder? Will he find who is trying to end his investigation by killing people involved in the plot? Or will he be banned from the Forbidden City for not clearing the case?
China is a Cryo product, meaning that the engine is OMNI 3D and that a large documentation about China, Forbidden City and Quianlong is provided. It's a point and click game, in the same genre as Egypt, Aztec or Versailles.
Storyline: Once upon a time, in the Forbidden City ...
The plot is good. I mean, you're just investigating a murder and then, you're finishing by discovering that Wang was forced to use his talents for the count of a "demon", trying to harm the Emperor. Wang let evidence by writing a series of letters...”
“Medal of Honor Allied Assault Breakthrough is the second add-on for the first PC MoH game. After a disastrous original game and a sequel that digged deeper MoH's grave, Breakthrough seemed to be the savior of Allied Assault.
I didn't like Allied Assault apart from the disguising part and the Omaha Beach mission. I didn't like Spearhead apart from the British part. I did like the beginning of Breakthrough with the North Africa battle... But then...
Medal of Honor is one of the well-known series on WWII with Call of Duty and Brothers in Arms in the FPS world. Its story begins on the Playstation before going on the PC and others next – gen console like PSP or Wii.
But on PC, according to me, its beginning was very rocky, buggy and ugly. Uhm, perhaps that the five-years gap between Breakthrough and the time of the writing is influencing me. But perhaps it's not the fact that we're in 2008 but the fact that I didn't enjoy myself with the game.
Sgt. Baker is now the hero after...”
“Medal of Honor Allied Assault: Spearhead is the first add-on for the first PC MoH game. If you remember correctly, I didn't like Allied Assault. Perhaps it was because of playing more recent games like Doom 3, Painkiller, Vietcong or FEAR, perhaps it was because I'm worshipping Half-Life or perhaps because I played Call of Duty before MoHAA.
But why play Spearhead and Breakthrough, the other add-on? No, it wasn't because they were improving the multiplayer (I'm not interested in it, apart from Team Fortress 2). No, it wasn't because I hoped that they really were fixing some mistakes. Nope. I only bought MoHAA Warchest, meaning that I bought the game and its two add-ons. It's like Call of Duty Deluxe Edition, Half-Life Generation, The Orange Box or Age of Empires Complete Edition. Three games for a good price on a certain auction site.
After my poor experience with MoHAA, I was hoping somewhere that Spearhead will be more interesting. Now, I'm wondering if Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault was a good...”
“MoH is making its beginning on PSX and it's the first FPS involving WWII to have a such impact on the community. So, EA wanted to expand it to computers. After all, it's THE platform for FPS... at this time (and being a non-console player, I still find that the computer is very well adapted for FPS).
Mike Powell: a good officer
MoH: Allied Assault takes you in WWII in the shoes of Lieutenant Mike Powell, from the US Army, belonging to the OSS office. His first mission sees him in North Africa, trying to save his squad (saving a member nearing death is rewarded by a medal - and it's the only one I couldn't have) and freeing a secret agent from the Nazis' hands. After destroying tanks and cannons, Mike is firing at planes on the airfield, in a jeep, similar to the ride with Moody in Call of Duty: United Offensive.
His second mission is to sabotage a U-Boat in Norway and is your first contact to the disguising gameplay. Find an enemy's uniform, his papers and if you keep your weapon in the holster,...”
“The Sims 2 really hit the mark with what it wanted to bring to gamers. It was an improvement over the highly successful Sims 1 game, could be played for hours, and had hundreds of options. But for those few gamers who managed to finish all that could be accomplished, there soon came expansion packs. One of those was Nightlife, which dealt with the city life of the Sims. Little did anyone know just how much fun it could prove itself to be...
As with the original Sims game, the point is to control characters (Sims) as they go around their daily life, grow up, get married, and raise families. You can create your own characters if you like, or use the pre-made ones the game has already installed. What Nightlife adds to this is the 'Downtown' area, which is essentially a collection of venues where your Sims can shop, eat, party, game, have fun, take dates and friends, meet people, and even run into some creepy characters (vampires - more on that later). It also adds fun little items for purchase and...”
“I remember playing it years ago and I had fun... Unfortunately, I didn't kept my high score,much less than yours. I think I've never reach fleet admiral but I don't even remember being interested by the ranks”
“Now this looks like something I would want. Although the more power the better, this looks like it would fit my needs well. I also love the fact that its a quad core.”
