]]> 10 Jul 2007 04:27:00 Forsaken Forsaken is a first person shooter based on the Descent series of games. It was released for Windows on in April 30th, 1998. Forsaken was later released on PlayStation on May 13th, and Nintendo 64 on May 27th of the same year. Television commercials for the game featured the repeated phrase "The future is forsaken".

In a world where science had stepped beyond the realms of humanity and the search for higher learning had broken all known limits, a subatomic experiment gone wrong caused an uncontrollable fusion reaction to rip through planet Earth.

Now, one year later, the fragmented planet has been classified condemned by the ruling imperial theocracy, meaning that every freeloading scum in the universe has the rights to raid the dead system and take anything left behind.

Amidst the blasted remains of the forlorn Earth the worst mercenaries this side of the sun do battle not only against each other, but also the robot sentinels that the government has left behind. Our future has become forsaken.

Screaming through tunnels and roaring over the blackened plains, they seek the thrill of a post-apocalyptic head rush that only comes with such a deadly game.

You must compete against the likes of Mephistofun, a veteran of a dozen droid-combat wars and the epitome of pure pumped metal devastation. Beard, a head-banging, bear-swilling hard mother who never blows out his bones. Nubia, the meanest bitch this side of hell with a kill a minute attitude and trigger-happy mentality to match.

When the Earth is left to die and the galaxies' violet prodigy roams free, the future of our planet has become … forsaken.

Forsaken is primarily a multiplayer First-Person-Shooter. The game is based on a 3D-engine that allows unlimited 360-degree movements. This concept is similar to the Descent series, yet Forsaken is not just another Descent-clone, in fact the developers did an excellent job in creating a world of its own, with superior effects and gameplay.

Basically there are two modes to choose from: Single player and Multi player. It is most helpful to complete the single player mission first and gather some experience by fighting against the computer-controlled vehicles. On the other hand, if you do not like single player mode, playing the game against other human pilots might be an amazing new world for you. All in all the two game modes are pretty different, resulting in individual strategies for each mode.

]]> 13 Feb 2007 05:00:25 True-Vol True-Vol is an online multiplayer first person shooter and a role playing game. The objective of the game is to "ice" your competition as many times as possible by shooting them (click left mouse button) and using your own special techniques while avoiding being "iced" yourself. Fly around the level and collect Vol power-ups (look for -=V=- on screen), which increase your abilities to shoot, fly, zoom in, and move. After collecting enough Vol power-ups you will reach an ascended state called "True-Vol". With this new acquired label comes the ability to annihilate your opponents with an incredible rate of fire, great vision, and speed. Every time you "ice" an opponent you get one point. However, if you are "iced" by an opponent you lose one point, but don't worry, you can't get negative points!
You begin the game with 200 experience points. After a few games you will have gained more experience points, which you can use to create your own techniques. During gameplay you can use your techniques by first placing your target box on an opponent at least for a moment. Once you have seen their name pop up that means they are the target which your techniques will home in on unless someone has the homing virus (or you clear your technique's target by pressing zoom-in and zoom-out simultaneously). Enter the Button Sequence of the Technique you want to use and it will fire toward the last targeted opponent. You can also target opponent's special techniques and destroy them before they hit you. Simply target one (it will say "(Playername's) Special Technique") then fire off your own technique. You can even change the course of your techniques movement by choosing another target after you have fired off a special technique.

]]> 19 Dec 2006 03:05:11 HeXeN Raven Software's HeXen actually began development as an expansion for Heretic that was originally slated to hit the shelves as "Heretic II." However, the game design so expanded beyond the original game that this proposed the expansion of the Heretic universe took on a bold new identity of its own...HeXen: Beyond Heretic.

HeXen was developed over a period of 8 months, published by Id Software and distributed by GT Interactive in 1995. The game introduced the 3-D gaming world to the "hub system" of level progression, rotating polygonal brushes and multiple character classes that were available in both single player and multiplayer. All of this combined to help HeXen raise the bar for the first-person shooter genre. HeXen pushed Id Software's DooM engine to its absolute limits and surpassed Heretic as Raven Software's most popular, highly acclaimed title.

The success of HeXen prompted a mission pack, Deathkings of the Dark Citadel, and several ports to home console gaming systems including the Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64 and the Sony PlayStation. HeXen also became the first Raven Software game made available for the Macintosh.

]]> 13 Dec 2006 01:40:26 Heretic Raven Software teamed up with Id Software for the second time in its creation of the hit fantasy action game Heretic. Based on a modified DooM engine, Heretic pioneered a revolutionary new inventory system for character item use that has become commonplace in the FPS genre. Id Software published the game under its flag and it was distributed by GT Interactive.

Players took the role of Corvus, an Elven hero whose race was nearly eliminated by a horde of evil monsters from another dimension. The first episode of Heretic was released as Shareware as a precursor to the full version of the game, Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders.

Heretic won several awards for excellence, appeared in such notable publications as USA Today and Playboy, and opened many new doors in the computer gaming software industry for Raven Software and its team of developers. Heretic was Raven Software's most popular, highest acclaimed, biggest selling game to that point.
