Fallout 3 Review
Jan 6th
When you first start out you certainly realise that it’s just much much more than a pretty area with crap to do in it. It’s an actual WORLD out there, and that’s what I appreciate about it. Bethesda just makes an INCREDIBLE job of just immersing the player into this game and the harsh realities of doing things. But there’s no real emphasis on doing side quests and exploring for yourself, and instead there’s more Fable/Mass Effect instances where you can go somewhere specific in exploration if you want to, or out of necessity, and perchance pick up a quest. But, say, in Oblivion, when given the option of these side quests, that “Omg, there’s a side quest, and it’s actually remotely interesting.” feeling came over you. In Fallout 3, not so much so that you went off and did them, but you were more annoyed at the fact that you had to fetch something, or go to a certain place. Half of the main story line is doing a wild goose chase. The other half, is a search and seizure type.
Mass Effect Review
Dec 11th
When you start up Mass Effect, the first thing you notice is that the character creation scheme has been revamped quite a bit. Still keeping up with the three class, and other combinations and specialties gig, it follows basically the same formula however more in-depth. It actually gives you a story, a background, a way to live, and most importantly of all, interactivity. You then have your normal character choice of male/female. The biggest difference is here. With the upgrade to the 360, you can now design your own character by looks. To put it in relatives, it’s more limited than Oblivion, but more flexible than say, Knights Of the Old Republic (either one). Personally, I like the pre-set female with a custom story line. She’s hot, and can kick some ass.
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 Review
Apr 10th
Hurredly I went off to my local Gamestop and got my copy of it. And in the same manner I came back home and popped it into my Xbox. In the opening scene you’re at Hill 30, under a major german offensive. You fight for a bit, then get knocked out by a German tank shot.
Morrowind GOTY Review
Apr 10th
Right from the get go, you are released into a city, with nothing but a few gold pieces in your pocket. From then on, the only thing driving you is the man called Caius Casades. But you can kill him anyways, you’ll just (according to the game) have to suffer the wrath you have brought upon the world. Haven’t played that far so I wouldn’t know what that “wrath” is. As soon as you touch land in the game, you can start stealing things and selling it to others (beware you don’t sell it back to the guy, or else he’ll catch you), you can join guilds, become a priest, a rogue, or a thief. Or even a guard for all the matter. It doesn’t matter what you do, you can do it. That is literally how open it is. The first time I played it though, I really didn’t know what to do, where to go, or who to talk to. This is, for some people, the really big downfall of the ElderScrolls series. It all depends on personal taste.
Area 51 Review
Apr 9th
When you first start up the game, you are shown these beautiful pre-rendered graphics that gives an intro to the game itself in a Hollywood-esque fashion. With David Duchovny as the main character, you are placed into HAZ-MAT team Delta. You’re mission: To find HAZ-MAT team Alpha and extract safely.
