Fallout: New Vegas, Minecraft & other games this week + year

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 10:19:10 +0000

After seeing so many negative user reviews of New Vegas I thought I'd just throw my opinions on the game.

From the moment you're thrown into the game and play for 5 minutes it's obvious the game uses the gamebyro engine, all the graphical bugs which come with the engine I didn't notice at all as well as the savefile bugs which came with the PC version, and I played through the game two times over!

I don't know if anyone noticed but the voiceover dialog for characters also seems to have improved from Fallout 3 as well which is a bonus.

The story, which I actually enjoyed more than Fallout 3's, I found better because there's a lot more moral choices to be made. Basically you're trying to help a faction or yourself take over New Vegas, so far I've seen over 5 different ways you can do this, one of these is just doing everything solo and selfishly but with a touch of good/bad karma as you go.

Additional stuff Obsidian added are workbenches where you can craft different ammunition for your weapons which I didn't use because my surplus ammo seemed to be doing me just fine.

I think after not playing FO3 for so long and then jumping into New Vegas, it felt like it's own standalone product (which it is!) and is worthy to be called a Fallout game and I enjoyed it.

Another awesome game I've bought recently is minecraft, after it being recommended to me by a lot of friends and watching youtube videos I finally bought it and I've been playing it nonstop since last week! I don't have any large scale creations to show yet since I'm still getting into the game but I'll post some of my smaller creations in a later post! But if you haven't played this game, go play it! The Classic version is free so what have you got to lose?

In other related news, this week Friday I'll be getting Fable 3 and The Force Unleashed II. Coming out on the same day is kinda good but kinda bad since I don't know which to play since both these sequels I've been waiting for!

The only other game I'm looking forward to this year is Assassins Creed Brotherhood, and it's not just because of the multiplayer, which is an awesome addition! It's because of the continuation into Ezio's and Desmond's story which I've been following since the first game.

and I leave you with a list of other games announced for 2011 release which I'm looking forward to playing:

- Firefall
- Star Wars: The Old Republic
- Brink
- The Witcher 2 (oh yeah!)
- Dragon Age II

if a game isn't listed here then I'm probably not interested in it.

Global Agenda

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:11:53 +0000

Anyone here play Global Agenda? If so give me your ingame username and we can wreak some havoc =D

For anyone who's confused as to what it is, it's an action/shooter MMO that has an optional (that's right, optional) subscription fee if you want all the features. You can choose to purchase the game and still have the co-op features and what not without the paid subscription.

PS: There are four classes; Assault, Recon, Medic & Robotic. Each have their own gadgets, devices and weaponry.

Mass Effect 2

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:09:04 +0000

Just finished Mass Effect 2. Have to say that the first game absolutely trounces this sequel. Story and gameplay wise. I expected more from BioWare.

Your views and opinions ?

Microsoft's reputation really shines here..
