]]> 23 Jul 2007 09:56:26 Rampage World Tour Rampage World Tour was a reinvention of the original arcade classic; created for Midway Mfg. by the original designers, Jeff Nauman and Brian Colin and the crew at Game Refuge Inc.

The game follows George Lizzy and Ralph as they smash and fight their way through hundreds of cities around the Globe. This update game added dimension to the characters andadvanced the storyline, but stayed true to the user-friendly "there's no wrong way to play it" gameplay mechanic of the original.

Though incredibly violent, the game treats all interaction with a cartoony, blood-free, tongue-in-cheek approach that keeps the action light-hearted and appealing to players of all ages.

This "Sequal" has spun off a number of additional "Rampages" on a number of platforms .. but many feel that RWT was the best of the lot.

]]> 27 Feb 2007 06:15:19 Urban Chaos Urban Chaos became the debut video game of English developer Mucky Foot Productions with its initial release in 1999 on the PC. It was subsequently released on the PlayStation and Dreamcast. The game was published by Eidos Interactive.

Urban Chaos is unrelated to Urban Chaos: Riot Response a Home Console First person shooter developed by Rocksteady Studios and also published by Eidos.

Story

The game featured the acrobatic, gun slinging D'arci Stern, a Union City police officer on the edge. The plot soon takes a twist as local gang 'The Wildcats' begin to attempt taking over the city. To help with her quest, Stern not only has an assortment of weapons but also a partner, a paranoid vigilante named Roper McIntyre who seems to know more than he lets on. D'arci and Roper can drive several types of vehicles around Union City, each with different handling. The player can also gain character upgrades and talk to civilians for clues, warnings or just a giggle.

The game was based around the events during the turn of the new millennium and the predictions of Nostradamus, as a street gang turned cult attempt to take over Union City. To top it off, mysterious men in black are appearing in the streets, and the tension is building towards the final showdown.
]]> 21 Feb 2007 03:05:06 Rayman 2 - The Great Escape Wikidipedia says ...

Not long after Polokus - god and spirit of a newly created planet where the game takes place - departs, an army of Robo-Pirates led by Admiral Razorbeard takes over and enslaves the planet, holding the captured inhabitants in the pirate prison ship, "The Buccaneer".

Eventually Rayman and his friends are captured, but with some help from his best friend Globox they escape, but get separated in the process. As he progresses along in search of help from Ly the Fairy, he learns that the pirates have broken the Heart of the World, the world's core, into 1000 lums that have then been scattered all over the planet, weakening the world as a result. It's up to him and whatever help he can get to collect these lums but more importantly, retrieve the 4 legendary Masks that are said to awaken the Great Pokolus, the planet's greatest hope to exterminate the Robo-Pirates and once again liberate the World.

After escaping and not being able to find Globox, he meets the teensies who have forgotten which one of them is the teensie king and squabble over it.

Rayman later meets Clark who has a bellyache from chewing a robo pirate in battle and must go to The Cave of Bad Dreams to get the elixer to heal him.

I say ...

This is a must have. Everyone who makes games should play this game from start to finish - the level design, graphics and ambience is absolutely incredible. I can't ever recall playing a game with such intuitively designed levels and so polished in collisions, flow and 'feel'.

I can't gush about this game enough ... it really is an inspirational game and one that serves as a great lesson on camera, cinematics and general game mechanics for anyone serious about making games.

]]> 08 Feb 2007 10:04:44 NHL 99 EA signed up MBL Research to bring the classic 16-bit EA Sports hockey franchise to the N64. Yes, it is a port of the previous year's PlayStation NHL game, but when you give a starving man a cracker it's going to be the best cracker he's ever had. With all due respect to both Eddie Murphy and MBL Research, NHL '99 took advantage of the N64's capabilities well enough to provide a robust and full hockey game regardless of the other drivel that had appeared on the N64 to that point. You had the full license, you had all of the arenas, you had all of the rules and regulations of hockey, of course. More than all of that however, you had the nonstop hockey action that had been missing from the N64 library.

]]> 27 Jan 2007 06:43:58 Clock Tower: The First Fear
patente101 said,
I thought a SNES game couldn't be scary. I was wrong. Really wrong. Clock Tower made me scream and made nightmares form in my mind. For almost a month, I checked behind each single door in my house...

The true title of this game is simply "Clock Tower". It was released in Japan only, for the Super Famicom (Japanese market equivalent of the SNES). It was later ported to the Playstation (also in Japan only), and Windows 95, but under the title "Clock Tower: The First Fear". Thus it was natural for the sequel to be titled "Clock Tower 2" in Japan, but the North American sequel was entitled "Clock Tower", since the title had not yet been exploited here. In keeping with the North American release title, it is the sequel that's listed as "Clock Tower" elsewhere here at GGE.


We enter the story just as the 15 year old orphan Jennifer and three of her friends are adopted by the reclusive Mrs. Barrows. Upon arriving at the imposing Barrows mansion in the mountains of Norway, Jennifer and her friends are left alone for a long while and finally the girl sets out after Mrs. Barrows, but runs back in search of her friends when she hears a scream. The power has gone out, and Jennifer finds herself in the dark and alone.

As Jennifer, you now must seek out your friends, and save them if you can as you discover the depth of evil at work, witnessing a murder at the hands of the Scissorman, leaving you terrified throughout your ordeal as you try to evade and hopefully, escape.

Jennifer's adventure will unravel mysteries of the mansion, the murderous evil Barrows twins, and even her own past as she explores the eerie mansion and encountering it's evil inhabitants.


Additional Game Features:


  • Simply point and click gameplay means you have to use your head and keep your wits. Choices made throughout the game will sooner or later have consequences.

  • Keep an eye on Jennifer's avatar throughout the game. Her current strength is indicated by the window color and must be managed wisely, and her reactions to what's going on may provide useful hints.

  • Sounds and music used sparsely and cleverly, adding to the overall tension and drama.

  • Explore the numerous rooms and levels of the Barrows Mansion.

  • Intricate story full of mystery and puzzles, with many alternate endings adding to the replay value.

As a vampire Kain is easily able to kill the bandits. But after doing this Kain finds out from Mortanius and the spirit of the dead Ariel, one of the guardians of the pillars of Nosgoth that protect the world, that the other Guardians have gone insane because of Ariels death and the only way to save Nosgoth is by slaying the guardians.

    This is top down action adventure not completely unlike the top down Zelda games, but that's where the similarities end. As the player guides Kain through Nosgoth more and more of the history is revealed. But with every revelation, more questions rise, many of which are not answered until the later installments in the series.

    In his quest, Kain obtains many new weapons, special armor, items and tools. But as Kain becomes stronger as a vampire he also gains access to new magical spells and transformations. And through expanding Kains arsenal, the player is able to travel to more of Nosgoth in the quest for the truth that leads Kain not only through the darkest outskirts of Nosgoth, but also time.
