Age of Chivalry review

without comments

As a game based in medieval times, the game has taken a risk by choosing FPS as its format, conventionally swords and arrows has been limited to the RTS/strategy genre. In my opinion, the risk was well taken and the game is an unbelievably good one, I actually have to say based upon fun in this game during multiplayer that this is a really great game.

The game is 100% free for download via the steam platform but requires that you own a source game.

This is a very high quality game; the menus are well designed, the models are well designed, the maps are simply bad ass and everything fits in really well. In my opinion the sound quality in particular for a free mod is well done, the battle taunts are great. What makes the game fun is that it has taken a pre-gun/electricity time in history and made it fun, it doesnt bore you with historical crap or taking 20 minutes to position your soldiers, it is just fun.

Fallout 3 review

with one comment

Introduction

In the mid to late 90s I enjoyed the first two games of the Fallout series; they are still permanently etched in my mind and in my opinion are rated amongst the top ever produced.

Interplay (the company that produced/published these games) went under some time after leaving the status of Fallout 3 in jeopardy. Over the past few years I have regularly read No Mutants Allowed hoping for good news about my cherished game. Eventually Bethesda came along and bought the rights to the game and whether we like it or not they produced Fallout 3.

I’ve been waiting for Fallout 3 since 1998, That’s 11 years of waiting. So I’ve taken my time to finish the game and explored practically every part of the game possible. I spent over 56 hours and saved more than 1030 times over the past 6 months exploring as much as possible in the game and I feel that I have finally made up my mind about the game.

This review comes from someone who has finished the game, so expect a few spoilers. This isn’t a concise review in that I haven’t chosen to analyze absolutely every single part of the game.
