Empire Earth 3 review

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Okey so to me the game isn’t THAT bad,but yeah its got its issues but it has an EPIC intro though hehe .The game also has framerate drops from time to time and crashes but i didnt patch it so yeah …anyways the world domination mode is a nice addition i hope they add that in Empire Erath 4 and learn from past mistakes.The game has its ups and downs but if your a true Empire Earth fan ad relly want to try the game out and if your not like me then at a relly low price if you can find it.Theres always something worse out there but this game is definetly not liked mainly cause most players dont think that the game meet’s the standard that the first 2 games set.But one of the games what i think for the best is ITS art style since the first 2 games most of the factions and units seemd WAY way to similar so that is definetly one of the better design although they relly should have went for realism then cartoony but they relly did i belive do this and RELLY TRY to make a good game…well seeing as to how Rockstar has on April 4th purchased Mad doc software and they are now called Rockstar New England (which is makeing chinatown wars for DS and ported bully to wii and 360).Hopefully they will use the IP of the Empire Earth franchise and learn from mistakes of the 3r game and make number 4…Thank you for reading and cya next time.(before i forget …they have just 5 time periods now but they cover the basics okey cya for real now)

Psi Ops The Mindgate Conspiracy review

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Heres a game mechanic we don’t see everyday and lil o in the 2003…or was it from 2005 era…anyways you can throw guys everywhere,make their heads pop ,control em and burn em ….and all that WITH yOUR MIND!!!
The game is great,original,not bad graphics for the time and good production values…not to mention the game has ALOT of extras and i think you need to find Evil gnomes to unlock most of em and you can also view the movies from the game as well and also replay the game with different skins…although boss battles weren’t expected….they weren’t bad for the most part …well happy head poping.

Lego Indiana Jones review(first PS2 review)

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

As the title says ill be reviewing a PS2 game although with no footage sorry bout that but i think of this as my first real article so if this site does one day lift off …i have some practice so lets continue.

So the games storyline is the Indiana Jones movies you can really think of this game as 3 smaller games in one in each chapter you have about 6 levels each lasting around 30 minutes but if you want to complete the game in a 100% you have to play through the game multiple times.
Of course if you played the previous Lego games before you will know that the game always has more then just the main game in ,the Lego games always add a little bit of something extra to enhance replay value and especially with a buddy it adds to the fun.
The Lego games are mainly recognized in because they don’t take ourselves too seriously way of portraying a movie just like the last 2-3 games instead of text bubbles or voice acting they use pantomimic expressions to portray the story of the movies in a fun way…although those who haven’t seen the movies might get confused but the cut scenes are still fun.
Due to they are blocky nature even though a Indiana Jones movie game violence such as ripping another guys hearth out or decapitations is a whole lot less then poping a head off .
The puzzles in the game aren’t impossible or stupid they are logical and fun and very different then those in the Lego Star Wars games,to gameplay is added by certain characters having phobias,the ability to use fallen enemies weapons or to wear their hats even though its mainly for decorative reasons some hats are needed to bypass certain checkpoints of enemies to reveal secret locations.Speaking of enemies the enemies aren’t reffered to nazis or anythings just enemies or bad guys .The music relly fits the action sequenced parts of the game and i really after playing this game wanted to hear that old Indiana Jones theme song.
The only bad part i encountered in the game is the friendly AI and the annoyance of enemies respawning at some points. The Lego games aren’t known for theyr lighting or graphics but cause of the fun you wont mind.

Overall the game is a game for anybody mainly for Indiana Jones fans the game stays true to its predecessors of the Star Wars variety with some added touches even though if your not a platformer fan id recommend this game it has fine moments although i didn’t test the Co Op but i tested that in The Lego Star Wars games overall i recommend this game since i have a good feeling that Travelers Tales ones it branches of the movies it will make a franchise of its own .Have fun.

Minerva:Metastasis review

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

After two and a half years in the making Minerva:Metastasis is the 3 installment of the Minerva series although i must say i didn’t play the first 2 but ill check them
The Mod:
Well overall the mod could use some voice acting cause its always risky too read while you could potentially get under fire while reading ,the mod is overall very well executed with great effects,good mapping, and EXCELLENT underground environment a bit later in the game and even more impressive it gets after you blow up the underground facility…although i would prefer less screecher zombies near the end
The Problems:
TOO MANY SCREECHER ZOMBIES!!!Besides that there are NO regular zombies only screechers and zombies a nice little detail seeing it that there are only combines on the island and not too mention the islands also a head crab production facility
Any innovations ?:
Well no its just your typical Half life shooting although there is a part of the game in witch you have too be clever so too speak you would have too avoid combine soldiers some traps and figure out how too turn certain objects off all that without the use of ANY weapon witch makes it a bit difficult but is rather fun too think of what too do next
And i guess you can count in music as a innovation cause i don’t think i heard the music in the original Half Life 2 witch means its newly created and is well made
Ill give the game a 9.0 cause of the difficulty and puzzle solving
(on a side note some of Valves developer helped with the mod there names can be found in the credits of the mod)

Half Life 2 Wars V0.1 Review

Monday, April 28th, 2008


Sorry if i said V1.0 in the video (and sorry for you hardly hearing me >.o)
The Mod:
Well the mod is a definite credit too the players of HL 2 that wanted too fight battles but never quite wanted too get shot at this version has only 2 maps soo far but in the next there will be 2 additional ones as well as the aspects of basebuilding (that you will see an example of underneath) there looking for people fore voice acting,mappers and modellers for the base buildings and sooner or later Multiplayer will be added to the mix
The Problems:
Well so far i have had one problem overall JUST 2 MAPS ,but thats not what bothers me on the second map (a desert one)the game crashes on me but since i have only 512 MB RAM i ain’t blaming the mod and the Antlions seem a bit ….too unbalanced there are too many of them and they come at you way too quickly but these things should be fixed in the next version hopefully
Any innovations ?:
Well as demonstrated in my video you can see that you can fight on multiple levels of a house probably making the capturing of a house in the game far much more probably important and or harder ,when throwing a grenade due too the physics makes it that much more strategy and Dependant on luck and AI should improve with the next version and rebel soldiers without weapons can pick up stronger or any weapons and too add too realism they also reload
(DO’H i didn’t notice that i couldn’t be heard i thought i set the volume down enough >.<)
So for now the mod receives a 8.5 due too smoke of the problems i HAD
And heres the example for the next version:



You can get the mod here

Archlord Review

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

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 :P 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.

Gameplay:
The gameplay ain’t nothing special seeing that it’s point and click adventure game but the game mechanic requires you to face the problem and then go to find the object or solution to get further.

Graphics
The Graphics aren’t too good but will definatly remind you of the cartoon series it immersed from you can find some of the cartoons episodes on YouTube but every time you solve something you get a nice and funny animation.

Story
Well in episode 4 Abe Lincoln Must Die it turns out that the President has gone CRAZY and after Max knicked his head OFF Max has to compete for President of the U.S.A against a roboticly reanimated Statue of Abraham Lincoln

Sound
If your into Jazzy type music then youll definetly like the music of Sam & MAx Freelance Police

Quake Wars Demo Review

Monday, September 17th, 2007

This is the Quake Wars Demo Review
Quake Wars is like Bf 2142 but a little less realistic regarding the explosions. Its still a good game too play its an Online FPS in which you can be the Strogg or the GDF (global Defence force ) the objective in the demo is too if your GDF get the MCP too the strogg outpost after making the bridge and then deactivate the shield generator and DESTROY the Strogg contaminator as you play the Strogg THEN you have too do everything too ensure that the GDF don’t make it too destroy the contaminator.

The Settlers 6 DEMO

Monday, August 27th, 2007

This game is the newest in the Settlers series (duh…) a very interesting medieval City building RTS in which you provide for your Settlers needs Security and your own knights titles the Demo is really worth playing since the only mission contains more material then i at first thought i spent 3 hours playing it just too complete it you need different resources and each resource is needed for something else you provide for the security of your settlement with a Wall and Troops you also need to claim territory’s and eliminate bandits that are in the territory’s too make sure that trade roots are Safe I give this demo a 4 out of 5 since it is missing a save option :P
NOTE : i wanted too make a video of the settlement i made in the mission but it lagged too much

Age of Empires 3 Review!

Friday, July 27th, 2007

In this review, I will be covering Age of Empires 3, and its expansion, the War Chiefs. Like my GalCiv2 review, I will be discussing the overall difficulty of the games, the graphic level, the playability, the differing strategies within the game, re-playability, the system specs, and the flexibility a player has.

Overall difficulty of the game (5/5)- This game is great when it comes to being for everyone. For campaigns, there are the typical easy, medium, and hard. However, when a skirmish is set up, the CPU difficulty can go from sandbox (very easy), easy, moderate, hard, and expert (very hard).

Graphic level (5/5)- The graphics, like the difficulty settings, has something for every system. You don’t need a super special awesome computer to play this game, but if you want the graphics at very high, you better have a good enough system for it. The graphics can get breathtaking in this game, but if you don’t have the system for it, stick to the lower levels.

Playability (4/5)(How well a new player can pick it up and go)

This is where these games lack a bit. There is a very, very short tutorial, and only teaches you the very basics of the game, like how to move, make a settler and attack. Depending on the player, it could take quite a bit to get used to this game.

Differing strategies (4/5)- This game has 3 main strategies. Rushing, Booming, and Turtling. Rushing is where you rush the enemy with whatever military you have very early in the game. It is best countered by a turtle. Booming is where you build a massive economy before you attack, and is best countered by a rush. Turtling is where you build a massive defense, most do not attack when they turtle. Booming is the best way to counter a turtle, as they do not attack you, leaving you wide open to build your economy.

Re-playability (4/5)- This game, although fun, will get old after a while. However, it does have the online feature which keeps it interesting. With the online feature though, if you get good, and your skill level hits 25+, you have to play a game a week to keep your skill there, so you have to keep playing to keep your rank that high, whether you want to or not.

Systems Check (5/5)- This game will run well on most systems made these days, but again there are the few exceptions. The specs are…XP or Vista, 256 MB RAM, 1.4 GHz Processor, 64 MB video card with hardware transformation and lighting capability.

Flexibility (3/5)- This game doesn’t have a great amount of flexibility for the players. With only three main strategies, an arsenal with upgrades that become obsolete very quickly, and 3 possible upgrades for each unit, there isn’t a whole lot to mess around with.

Goldenhero’s overall rating-(4.3/5) Good Game!
