]]> 08 Dec 2006 04:25:56 Discworld The first adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's world.
The story is more or less based on the book Guards! Guards! and you get to play Rincewind going around Ankh Morpork completing some mind crushing hysterically bizarre quests. Thankfully there is a great sense of humour there!
]]> 18 Jul 2007 11:01:59 Discworld 2 The second discworld adventure game, with beautiful cartoonish graphics and loads of humour. The story is more or less Terry Pratchett's Reaper Man, and you get to play Rincewind travelling in Ankh Morpork and beyond to bring back Death to work. The voice of Rincewind is by Eric Idle, and the game is much easier that its predecessor. Truly enjoyable!
]]> 18 Jul 2007 11:29:27 Discworld Noir The third and last Discworld game. Point and click with a 3d static camera.
this time you take up the role of Private Investigator Lewton, the first and only one in Ankh Morpork. A strange woman enters Lewtons office in a dark and rainy night and gives him a case to work on. A grand mystery is unwrapped before him and following leads and mysterious events he explores the dark secrets of Ankh Morpork.
Much easier than its predecessors, just as enjoyable though, Noir, just as the title indicates is a lovely noir story, narrated by the master of entertaining fiction Terry Pratchett.

However, this substance, like all other fuels, is finite in supply, and the Planet's lifeforce is being malevolently drained by the constant explotation of Mako by Shinra. Though aware of the harmful effects, they function without remorse.

However, the real battle lies not with a corporation, but a force much more competent from the distant past. A long-thought dead warrior bent on becoming more and more powerful, coupled with the Planet's drained energy, threatens the very existence of everything sacred.

Now a small rebel group eminating from the slums must quell the various dangers toward the innocent, and one mercenary for hire must look amidst the lies and deception and find the man he is within.

]]> 20 Dec 2006 02:54:31 Worms: Armageddon Team warfare on a worm scale

Description:
Worms: Armageddon is a turn based strategy game in a 2d environment. There is a single player campaign, and training missions to complete; but the main attraction is playing against other people locally or over the internet. Games can be played with 2 or more people. The graphics and sound are very cartoonish, and entertaining.

Gameplay:
Each player starts with a number of worms on their team. Each worm has a fixed amount of health. If a worm runs out of health, it will die. Once you run out of worms, you lose the match. The game is turn based, so each team gets control of one worm during their turn. You have a limited amount of time to select one of many weapons and inflict damage on another teams worm. There are also other more subtle tools to choose from for more strategic play, such as terrain digging tools, girder construction, and ropes and other means to get around the map. Weapons vary from the ordinary guns and explosives, to odd things like exploding sheep, mad cows, and homing pigeons.

There are several other popular gameplay types, with specific rules for play.

Finding online games is easy when you log onto WormNet. It's an irc-like chat interface where you can host or join games.

    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.

    ]]>     29 Jan 2007 01:30:45     SimCity 2000

    Overview


    SimCity 2000 was published in 1993 by Maxis. The game included many innovations over its predecessor, SimCity. The perspective of the game shifted from top-down to isometric, giving cities a new look. Cities could be rotated and viewed from different angles. The terrain now had elevation. Many new kinds of transportation and infrastructure were introduced. Variable generated newspapers were created, which features articles about recent inventions and disasters, as well as opinion-polls. The game also allowed for the development of custom content, through an external utility called SimCity Urban Renewal Kit, or SCURK.


    Gameplay


    The game begins with the player either using a random terain, or terraforming their own through several tools. After the God-mode phase is finished, now a staple in all SimCity products, players are asked to select a difficulty level and begin constructing their city. The difficulty levels impacted starting wealth, starting loan and the disaster frequency. Players then construct their cities from a variety of infrastructure and zones, balancing their budget. There is no set up objective, and the game never ends.

    Other Notes


    SimCity 2000 Network Edition was published 3 years later with the ability to play on-line. Similar to SimCity 4, players could buy and sell resources, as well as construct region wide transportation networks.

    The SimCity 2000 Special Edition is packaged with SCURK.

    SimCity 2000 cities can be imported into SimCity 3000.

    SimCity 2000 can also be used to construct custom cities for use in the games Sim Copter and Streets of SimCity.
