Hellfire Review

July 22nd, 2009

Hellfire’s storyline is not particularly deep as Diablo. We remember a demon named Na’Krul. It was once ranked highly in Diablo’s hierarchy.

This demon and his cronies set up shop in 8 new levels and it seamlessly fit into the original game. The levels of this game are divided into 2 areas. Each of the level has its own new tileset, the gothic Demon Crypt (home sweet home for Na’Krul) and the Festering Nest, an organic hive-like domain that hosts Na-Krul’s “Starship Troopers-refugee” lieutenant, the Defiler.

After installing Hellfire gamers may find new items and shrines scattered throughout the original sixteen levels of Diablo. They may use a new character class, the Monk, to conquer the challenges in the original game. These new levels of the game are some what equivalent in difficulty to levels nine through 16 of the original game.

The game also provides a number of refinements to Diablo’s gameplay. Here the gamers can jog instead of merely sauntering around town. Gamers who played Diablo will of course appreciate this game.

The appeal to new players for this game solely lies in the fact that this game features the first new EverQuest character class. Well, the new berserker is not so enticing.

EverQuest has been designed primarily as such that warriors, clerics, and even enchanters can always be in high demand among player groups. New EverQuest player after entering the game for the first time is bombarded with multiple help pop-up windows that seems as if he or she just triggered a self-destruct sequence.

Fallout 3 – A Review

July 6th, 2009

Fallout role playing game may not mean much to console gamers. It is an instant classic having a memorable setting and also an ironic sense of humor. This game was followed by Fallout 2, which was equally popular and was also adorable.

Fallout 3 was an incredibly promising and beautiful RPG. It was released on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

This game was top-down RPGs where you go around a nuclear wasteland armed with shotguns and of course with assault rifles.

Fallout 3 is a first-person game in fact. It also has a third-person camera if gamers like to play that way. The camera on it can be moved in such a way so that it almost mimics the perspective of the original Fallout games.

The game is not a pure action shooter even though it may be played like a shooter. Its actually the choice of gamers. Fallout 3 relies on role-playing statistics in order to determine whether gamers hit or miss.

The best part of this game is that the combat can be paused. Not forgetting to mention that the game very much a role-playing game with hundreds of quests.

Free Realms

June 30th, 2009

After you read this preview, don’t expect to hear much more about Free Realms on the pages of GameSpot. Sony Online Entertainment is doing a lot of things differently with its upcoming freely distributed and free-to-play massively multiplayer online game. For starters, SOE plans to market the game solely through viral methods; it will probably do things like seed message boards and allow word of mouth to spread. So we’re not expecting to even see the game again before it releases on the Internet, much less obtain any screenshots or videos to show you.

Luckily, we’re glad to write about it anyway, because Free Realms sounds rather interesting. The game is being created primarily for the PC, with a PlayStation 3 version planned as well. It’s also being created so that people with computers of all shapes and sizes will be able to run it. That means you shouldn’t expect the game to push any graphical boundaries like most retail MMO games do. But on the flipside, Free Realms will purportedly be quite compact because you’ll be able to download the game client, as well as get up and running within the gameworld itself, in a matter of moments. Rather than installing the entire game to your hard drive, you’ll also be able to download new components piecemeal as you move around the gameworld.

What we got to see of the game itself looked fairly promising. SOE says it’s targeting both male and female gamers from a wider range of ages than it has with past MMO games. To that end, the company is crafting a lighthearted, whimsical sort of world in which your adventuring will take place. No details were revealed about the lore behind the gameworld, but it looked like a cartoonish, vaguely medieval setting with some real-world elements, such as what appeared to be a Halloween celebration. Again, this isn’t the most graphically complex game you’ve ever seen, but it seems to be taking the World of Warcraft track, with colorful and varied art design making up for any technical shortcomings.
