Another one of my previews has been posted over at FileFront , this time it covers the expansion pack to Call of Duty called Call of Duty: United Offensive . Here's a snippet: A year later, and it seems that Grey Matter Studios (developers of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and the rather violent Kingpin) wants to bring players back to the battlegrounds of Europe in an expansion pack for Call of Duty entitled Call of Duty: United Offensive. In UO, you’ll once again be a soldier in the 101...
Being that it's E3, I'm writing all sorts of articles on games over the course of this week for FileFront . This preview is on a game that, seemingly, came out of nowhere and looks mildly impressive. The game is Bet On Soldier , here's a snippet from the rather short preview: [...] you can choose from eight different types of soldier classes, and choose your weapons from an armory of over 40 different weapons. Games will consist of up to 32 players, consisting of more than 40 different...
I just finished a solid weekend filled with Painkiller, and beat it moments ago. Let me just say this: if you consider yourself a gamer, you're going to fucking love this game. Pure action from the moment you start it up, until the moment you make Lucifer wet his panties at the end. I'm going to write-up a review of the game over the next couple days for FileFront , so you'll have to wait for that for my full review, but here are some choice screenshots from my Painkiller Gallery . ...
This game will undoubtably be controversial. Gaming is really going off the deep end these days. Don't you all agree? The level of violence is staggering. I love ghost Recon, but this one will be a step further, and it's tasteless and crass to boot!
Half-life 2 delayed until summer Thereare few games that I'm eager to play, let alone buy them, but Half Life 2belongs definitively to this really small category. I was about to buy it on theoriginal announced released, September the 30, 2003. But as a lot of people like me subsequentlyfind out, things were going differently. The main reason was the theft of theoriginal code of the 3D engine - source- by hackers. The game was delayed until Decemberand is now announce...
It's taken 6 long months, but I have finally beaten Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It was the first real game that I got for my new computer, and I loved every little bit of it. For the first two months, I religiously played it every day, sometimes until 2 or 3 am. I love WWII simulation games because not only do you get to immerse yourself in the past, but you also get a brief history lesson about the weapons, vehicles, locations, and military plans during WWII. You also get the added bon...
I was one of the guys that gave into the game's hype and figured it was going to be the best thing since marshmellow peeps. I just figured the game was going to revolutionize FPS-gameplay. That was, of course, until I played the demos released by CryTek/Ubisoft. The Farcry demo(s) were so bad that they made me vow that I'd never play the game again. Ever. The demo was just so bug-ridden, sluggish (the graphics were FAR from optimized), the difficulty had obviously not been play-balanced at that ...
On February 3, 2004 the Ontario Film Review Board took the rare step of giving a videogame an R rating. The review board usually allows the industry’s own ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) rating to be used in almost all cases. The game, “Manhunt” was reviewed after it was brought to their attention. The R rating was applied when the review board found the game to contain heavy violence and gore, as well as mutilation and blood letting. The ESRB rating is usually more than good en...
Alright, so my copy of Call of Duty finally arrived (I had been using a friend's copy and a keygen for the serial, so was unable to play online) last week, and, after a week of play, I think I've given the game a fair amount of gametime in order to review it properly. If you don't want to read my, sometimes needlessly, verbose review, just read this line: Call of Duty, whether it is played single-player or multiplayer, is one of the most amazing games to come along this century . Yes, it's ...
And, no, for once I'm not talking about the [many] joys of Darvocet or Vicodin but, rather, the game Painkiller . The demo, released earlier last week by Dreamcatcher, is downloadable all over the 'net (I, personally, downloaded it by using one of the torrents over at suprnova.org ). Now, you may be wondering, how did it stack up to the numerous other FPSs on the market right now? Well, to be honest, I think it's going to be one of those games where you either like it, or you hate it. It's f...
So, yeah, I started playing Call of Duty at about noon yesterday; and go to the point that I stopped playing at the last time I tried to play a few months ago (I didn't get that far, but I lost my save game shortly there-after, and got pissed off). Once I got to the level I quit on the last time I played through, I realized I should really attenda t least ONE of my classes for the day, so I went to Math. Once I got home, I played Call of Duty from about 5pm-midnight. Without stoppin so much as...
