This is a fan-made trailer I made for the game Call of Duty: World at War.

The game looks quite good from a first view and although I haven’t played it yet but it looks like a worthy successor for Call of Duty 4.
The addition of a flame thrower is a nice addition for single player and even better for multiplayer.
It does look a lot like CoD 4 in WW2 style but that doesn’t mean it’s worse. I think that the players who are sick of the modern weapons of CoD4 and want something new in the same genre, will find their needs in this game

Here’s episode 3 of my cine-editor series.
This time it’s the Mongols who besiege a Polish castle.
I had some trouble creating this episode with several game crashes… But eventually I was able to create the episode with some guys in the gamespy lobby.
So thanks to Attila and Schnitzelz for attempting to help me
As you will see there is narration added by a guy named Secretus, he also did the map animations.
I forgot to put him in the credits, many thanks to him too.
It’s again two parts first part is the intro, second part is the battle:

Now the real story is going to start, with the involvement of the Papal states.

Due to the problems and my limited amount of time on the internet because of school, I decided to do most of the battles with the AI and only some scenes online.
Episode 4 will be released in one or two months if nothing goes wrong.
Hope you enjoyed

I wanted to make a new video for dateyourgame, and the poll gave me an idea to make some kind composition of the top 3 games you guys rated. I’ve put a lot of work in this video, I think 2 hours, it’s some kind of Christmas present for you guys
The 3 games are: COD4, Halo 3, Assassins Creed

Let’s hope that more of these wonderful games will be released next year!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year everyone!

This is a review of Archlord, Archlord is a free MMORPG. The reason I started playing this game was because I’ve seen the movie Ben X, Ben X is a Flemish movie about an autistic boy who is addicted to this game and in this game he is the archlord. After watching the movie we got the game on CD. Looks like Codemasters have sponsored this movie Archlord is a game with a terrible history, it came out in 2006 as a normal MMO, monthly fees and such, but there were such a lot of bugs in the game, they had to stop asking monthly fees and later the game came out for free.

So here’s the video, you hear my voice, but I transformed it because I have such a heavy and monotone voice lol, so it’s me on helium.

My opinion of the game:
This game doesn’t have a story line at all so that’s a minus, the only ‘story’ is becoming the archlord. The sound is quite good, but repetitive, they should have made more music (the sound you hear on the video isn’t the sound of the game).

Then the races and classes, one stupid thing is that you can’t have male and female classes, the class is either male or female, so I found it stupid that there weren’t male elves or female human warriors/archers. There also isn’t a white mage class, so you always need to have lots of potions with you to beat a boss, I just need to tap the potions button in order to beat real hard bosses, so these are also negative points.

There are also quite some bugs, but I explain that in the video.
The big battles, once you reach a high level, take long. I’ve seen a guy of lvl 50 fighting a creature of lv60 and that battle took over 10 mins.
Positive points are the well worked out PvsP systems, and the newly added castle sieges.
Castle sieges are guilds who battle each other 1 group protecting the castle, the other attacking. That’s another example of the well worked out PvsP system.
The map isn’t too big so you’re almost never alone.
That was my review of archlord, I would advise this only if:
- You have no money to buy a decent MMORPG
- You like MMORPG’s
- You like to play PvsP battles
- You want to play this game every minute of your life to become the archord
- You don’t care about all the negative points I’ve written down here.
So this was my archlord review, if you should be interested just add me to Xfire my name is ‘Kinshejsi’ or send me a message on my youtube account.

I’ve bought God of War 2 a week ago. God of War is known as one of the best action-adventure games for PS. Some say Prince of Persia is better, I say they are different: God of War is a more gore, button bashing and slashing kind of game while POP is more a puzzle game with more tactical fighting. But enough about POP it’s a topic about God of War

Story: for the ones that have played the first GOW you know that Kratos killed Ares and became the God of War himself. In GOW 2 you start were the first ended you are the GOW and you let your Spartans conquer Greece, the other gods didn’t like this, so u we’re punished (as you can see in the vid). In the first one you had to beat Ares with the help of the god Athena and other gods. In GOW 2 you have to defeat the gods that oppose you (from which one of them is Zeus) with the help of the titans. Although as far as I understand the story for now.

Gameplay: The gameplay is really cool, lot’s of slashing with your blades of chaos and you will later unlock new weapons and magic. A boss always has to be finished tactically, and not just by continuously attacking them. So very good gameplay.

Graphics: this game is also good because of it’s nice graphics, you always have nice backgrounds on the battlefield and the battlefield itself has been worked out in details. The only bad point is that you can’t place the camera behind you’re character (like in POP ), but you have a camera that’s standing in the same position, which led to some problems in the first GOW, but they say there aren’t going to be anymore of these problems in GOW 2 and until now (where I got in the game) they’re right.

Sound: Really good music, better then some Hollywood movie music.
Now the vids: I began recording right from when I started playing the game, so this are the first 20 min of my gameplay of the game.

This video is the second big battle vs the colossus of Rhodes, in the first 5 min I died, I put that in the video because u could see the difference between the failed and the succeeded battle. You’ll see that you always have to beat a boss in some kind of tactical way.

I haven’t played much more actually, I got were you had to finish the Colossus of from the inside, then you were betrayed by Zeus. There are rumors of GOW 3 that would come out on PS3 and the main villain in that one would be Kratos’ brother. But that will be a few years waiting.

I’ve began another series of medieval called: Rise of the Papal States. The faction I’m playing is the Papal States (of course).

Now the explanation of the 1st episode. In this episode the Pope makes his first move against Milan, in his quest to conquer Italy. This was the battle at Milan, and the fall of the Milanese themselves.

2nd episode: This is a battle vs Sicily. I first gave you an overview of which cities I had conquered. I didn’t record that music so, I put some Michael Jackson on it , don’t worry in the next episodes I’ve used LOTR music.

The next 2 episodes I will try to put on DYG this week or the next, It’s another battle vs Sicily and one vs Venice.

For the ones that want to know how to play the Papal States:
go to C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
choose descr_strat and cut/paste papal states to playable factions.
Now it should appear in the campaign screen. Warning this doesn’t make you able to play Mongols, Aztecs or Timurids.

Here’s some more Black for ps2. The first vid is the end of a level where I died twice, the first time I stepped on a mine, the second time I got killed The second vid is the beginnig of the level after the first. Not much else to say I think I told everything in my first post of Black.

Here’s another game I’ve been playing, beat em ups aren’t actually my type of games, but I find this game really worth playing. It might be because I was a huge fan of the series, but I think people that didn’t watch the series would also have a lot of fun with this game. It really has the DBZ feeling. Only on the Wii were the controls bad I’ve heard, but I play it on PS2.
The first video is in the story mode where I was beaten twice, I’m not so good at this game then, now I just figured out how to flash behind peoples backs

The second one is just a custom battle showing that you can put up to five characters against each other.

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 has over 150 characters and 30 stages so I think it would be nice to play but I’m not gonna buy it new. If you want to watch the first gameplay vidoes of BT3, just search dbzanto or Sprawlers on youtube.

I have recorded some gameplay of Final Fantasy XII, the entire series of Final Fantasy are games that I would recommend, I played them from FFVII till FFXII. FF XII is the first of the series with active battles (meaning you can run around while fighting). The graphics are really nice, the storyline of this game is welltought. Only of the license system (the system with what you can upgrade your characters abilities) I wasn’t so pleased, I like it more that you have one black, white magician, a warrior, … But there are also more weapon classes in this game like for melee you have daggers, swords, axes, pikes, poles, etc. each with their unique abilities for example katana’s hit more combo’s then other weapons as you can see in the vids.

The first one is me training in the southern part of Ivalice (the name of FFXII planet) to beat the boss of the second vid.

The second one is me fighting the boss.

I would have summoned Belias in this vid, but I was to late so the battle took a bit longer then expected.

Ok first of all this is a game for the PS2. Black is a FPS with graphics which a believe are the PS2 limit, all destructible environments, lots of nice guns whit cool reload moves. The only bad thing about this game is that the levels are long, and there are only 3 checkpoints. I take around 1h 10min (there was 1 that took me 2hours, and also one that took me 45min) for every level on normal. If you have a PS2 this game is certainly something you should buy.

I’m gonna record some more playstation games since I spend more time behind my PS2 then my pc, so I will make a 2 weekly post I think, the bad thing is that it’s September and the frikin school starts again.

I have Swat 4 for a year now and when my computer crashed this week I installed it again. Swat 4 is a great FPS were you have a team that you have to give orders and you need to secure hostages. It’s a bit like Rainbow 6, though you get more points if you can cuff (put handcuffs on) a terrorist. The singleplayer consist out of +/- 13 missions and get’s very hard (for me) when you reach the last levels. You play with a point system: getting your teammates killed are bad points, cuffing terrorists and let the hostages survive are good points. I played the singleplayer for 2 weeks every night 1 or 2 hours, but I played the multiplayer most (you get points for killing, more for cuffing). If you’re interested the expansions are also really good. So I installed the game and recorded the first online battle I played.

If you’re looking for a realistic FPS, I would advise Swat 4. Rainbow 6 vegas is better, but the system requirements of that game are higher.

Episode 13: I continue my advance vs the Carthaginians because they’re one of the easiest factions to beat with Romans. I’m not so good with phalanx units, so that explains my loss.

Episode 14: This is one of the biggest battles I’ve fought till now vs the Numidians, the Numidian power lies in numbers and speed, but their units are weak and don’t have good morale (except their imitation legionaries). So you can kill them easily with enough missile and cavalry units. I haven’t used much tactics, I ran around with my cavalry and let my missile units fire upon their weak missile units, and I have infantry ready in case they come to close to my missile units. I’m proud of the deaths/killed result , even if I say so myself.

In the rest of the campaign, I’ve conquered some of the Gallic cities in northern Italy. The Illryans are defeated, I’m advancing on Macedons northern towns and I have conquered Corinth => I’m laying siege on Sparta, if all goes well I shall record how the last Spartans fall against Roman might Carthage has been driven to regions in the Sahara desert and aren’t posing a threat anymore so I’ll concentrate on the Numidians. The Marius reformation has also happened so now I’ll have Roman legionaries in my armies. But the end is coming I only need to conquer 6 more cities and I’m victorious, then I’m gonna quit till summer vacation to make new vids, gotta concentrate on my studies, big exams coming.

Here is the newest trailer of Medieval 2 total war kingdoms, there gonna come 3 more where each campaign is gonna be explained. Here’s the Britain part, when I saw the first trailer I thought it would be just the Scottish versus the English but there are more factions involved. A guy of the creative assembly gives explanation. So enjoy.

Episode 11: Here I fight the Carthaginian army in Sardinia, I was lucky it was in Sardinian woodland, I hid my cavalry far in the woods and used them to kill the enemy general and demoralize their army.

Episode 12: Here I attacked the Macedonian capital of Corinth, They had a big army there, but it was weakend after a battle near Sparta with the greek cities. The enemy have 2 armies.

The advance against Carthage went more smoothly then I expected, they lost 4 of their african cities while I had only send two armies there. In the war against the Macedonians I’m beginning to get the upperhand, and I haven’t much progress yet against the Gauls.

In this episode I attack the Carthaginians, it was a chaotic battle so sorry if I zoomed out too much. The end is also missing (i won the battle), had some problems with Windows Movie Maker. I was besieging the city Carthago and then this Carthaginian army shows up. The Carthaginian elephants are powerful against any other unit (certainly cavalry) then spear units, that’s why I had to sent my triarii to fight them. 657 Romans, 903 Carthaginians, 817 killed, 491 deaths.

I’m expanding more in the Carthaginian lands now, the Gauls aren’t opposing a real threat, they attack and lose every time, the Macedonians though were able to retake some ground in Greece, just because I couldn’t retrain my units there yet.

Episode 8: The Romans are advancing on the Illryan front and I’ve brought some siege weapons with me ,no not medieval catapults, but Roman balistas and scorpions. Here u can see that Scorpions are the best against enemy infantry: they reload faster and have more accuracy then balistas, while balistas are more powerful for destroying enemy buildings. The enemy have 2 armies, the first is a general unit, the second is also a general but he has an army of 300 men.

Episode 9: Here I’m defending the settlement of Arretium from the Gauls, but their spies have opened the gates so the barbarians didn’t need their siege equipment. I used the close in tactic, I just surrounded the Gauls so that they would be stuck near the gate, if the enemy army is really big, your towers also fire at them; I always had my cavalry ready for if there should’ve existed a gap.

I’m at war with everyone who surrounds me now meaning Illryans, Macedonians, Gauls, Carthaginians. I’ve got entire Sicily under my control now and Malta. I had some problem with the huge fleets of Carthage, but I allied with the Iberians who are also at war with the Gauls and Carthaginians and they’ve come to rescue me from those fleets . The Macedonian kingdom is falling very hard, they’re also at war with everyone who surrounds them, ah well better for me .

I’m gonna slow down with the chronicles, tomorrow I depart for 3 days on holiday, next school starts again.
Meaning I can be less on the PC and I can make less chronicles.

Episode 6: I’m at war with the Macedonians and I attack their huge city of Pella. I know that it was stupid to build a ram and move my missile units in front of the walls (had to get rid of those greek peltasts). I had to kill a lot (the battle took me half an hour, forgot to press the speed button once and a while) so sorry if the video jumps from here to there.

Episode 7: Another battle against the Greeks, their coming out of the gates of their last city in Sicily. I have two armies on each side of the city, the weakest is controlled by me and my other stronger by the AI (stupid of me ). Also cutted in this one, it was 25 min (have to press the speed button more).

I’m now also at war with the Illiryans but they do not suppose a great threat. The Gauls are having trouble fighting the Iberians, the Iberians have a part of France and entire Spain, meaning they had also beaten the Carthaginians, so the Gauls aren’t planning to attack me. The Carthaginians are at war with Numidia and Iberians, they’re not winning or losing, but the good thing is they aren’t assembling an army to attack me.

The 2 battles are battles defending a city.

Episode 4: In this episode the romans have to defend Appolonia (which they had conquered after many battles) from the Greeks. They had 2 small phalanx armies but my armies were also small, because you can’t directly retrain your armies after a battle in RTR. I defeated them by closing them in.

Episode 5: 244 BC (forgot to put the date on the video ) The Gauls attacked me suddenly I didn’t expect this, but their army wasn’t too powerful. At the end they asked for a ceasefire, and I thought barbarians had some honor

In my campaign I’m now a decenia further but I hadn’t had any enjoyable battles, some were to easy, others to hard. The Macedonians who were my allies betrayed me so the wars will probably continue in Greek lands. I’ve also conquered 2 Greek cities in Sicily, one more to go there hmm but then I will border Carthage and maybe start the Punic wars.

Here’s episode 2-3 of the Roma vs Greek chronicles. I call it the Greek wars. Episode 2: here I try to take Tarentum (the heel of Italy) Lost the battle because of the time limit and I took it afterwards with an auto battle .

In episode 3 I try to take Apollonia because it only had a hundred men left after a great battle between Greeks and Illryans and in the tip of Italy there were +/- 1000 men also Appolonia was a very rich city, certainly for sea trade with Italy. Unfotunatly the greeks had an reinforcement army. But they weren’t so strong and stupid: If they had surrounded me by there cavalry they would’ve won.

From now I’m not gonna make a chronicles every ten years (RTW time) it takes to much time and I my dad says I’m uploading to much so I’ll show you only the important battles (should be +-2 greek wars, and then Peloponisian or Gallic or Illryan or Macedonian wars In RTW you never know who you’ll fight against first.

I’ve begun making some chronicles of the Roman Wars, in Rome Total War, now that Attila has stopped , I just downloaded RTR, I play it on medium because I didn’t know what to expect of the game mod, or how difficult it is, turned out not so hard.
