]]> 04 Oct 2007 09:52:01 Disciples III "Disciples III will feature more than 150 different "characters"--the war heroes, monsters, ghosts, and other beasties that can make up a war party in the game, and like in the previous games, the size of your war party will depend on your leader character's leadership skill. Apparently, some monsters in the game, such as dragons, will be absolutely huge, and will take up to 12 squares on the game's combat map, which has been retouched as a grid-based map divided up into two halves--yours and your opponents"

Please be aware that LCS is a rather mature game with lines inappropriate children, but they add a nice comical aspect to it.

]]> 10 Mar 2007 05:48:18 Freedom Force Freedom Force is a computer game developed by Irrational Games and published by Electronic Arts in 2002. The player guides a team of superheroes as they defend Patriot City from a variety of villains, monsters, and other menaces. A sequel, Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich was self-published in early March, 2005.

The game is noted for its humorous but respectful evocation of the Silver Age of Comic Books; in particular, its visual style emulates the art style of the Marvel Universe co-creator, Jack Kirby. Also important is its versatile, expandable game engine, which has allowed a considerable fan-community to spring up. Total conversions featuring Marvel and DC Comics characters have considerably extended the life of an already entertaining game.

The alien mentalist, Mentor, fleeing Lord Dominion and his invading forces, heads towards Earth in a small spaceship containing many canisters of the mysterious "Energy X." Lord Dominion's ships pursue Mentor and destroy his craft just outside the Earth's atmosphere; the blast scatters containers of the substance over the metropolis of Patriot City. Energy X strikes several of the city's inhabitants, giving them superpowers that typically echo their personality traits (for instance, Minuteman and El Diablo) or draw on the situation they were in when energized (e.g., The Ant or Nuclear Winter). Most of the game is set in Patriot City, but a number of other locations and time periods are used, including magical realms, prehistoric times, and realms entirely removed from time and space.
]]> 03 Mar 2007 12:41:40 Dune Dune, by Cryo Interactive, was the first attempt of making a commercial game based on Frank Herbert's Dune universe.

Dune blended adventure with economic and military strategy, and is considered by many the most immersive Dune computer game. Loosely following the story of the novel, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnen from Dune, while managing spice extraction, military, and later, ecology through the native Fremen tribes. As the player progresses, his troops are equipped with weapons from "krys knives" to atomics, tap into Paul's latent psychic powers, and get acquainted with such characters from the book as Chani and Liet Kynes.

The game, seen always through the eyes of Paul, is a mix between RTS and adventure gaming. While the basis of the game is the strategy component, dialog between characters and a linear plotline give the game more depth than most strategy games. The player is also required to do some miniquests involving talking to characters and traveling to locations, which adds a small adventure game element.

]]> 28 Dec 2006 08:06:24 Unleashed Unleashed is an RPG designed as a "throwback" game, to when RPG's were developed with solid storytelling and hours of gameplay over many of today's "chrome" ladden games.

The engine uses a mix of real-time and turn-based gameplay, and is based partly on the d20(tm) mechanics. The player will be able to create their own characters, and journey with up to five in their party at a time. This game will include roughly 100 hours of gameplay and characters can be advanced into levels well beyond the norm.

Unleashed starts in the town of Briskfield, which has been attacked by animals that have been augmented in the mysterious Blackforge. These half mechanical beasts have turned a once thriving community into a ghost town and the player has been called here by an old mentor, in hopes they will be able to set things right in the realm. The player will explore crypts and tombs, castles and keeps, mansions and ruins, as well as many other locations.

Unleashed is designed to appeal to people who enjoy solid storytelling, extended gameplay, and good old fashioned fun.
