Fable 2 Release News
Game Type: RPG
Age rating: M
Genre: fairy fantasy
Developer: Lionhead Studios
Manufacturer: Microsoft
A too old fairy-tale
The last Fable 2 released news told that a new project of Peter Mouline is a product where the developers try to combine the impossible and show all the hardships of every day life of a usual fantasy hero. At first it is a mop-headed boy (or you can choose a girl) and then you finish playing with a worldly-wise veteran.
The game is very similar to the first part of Fable. Some centuries are over, the Albion habitants use guns and wear cylinders, but all the Fable details have migrated to Fable 2. One can meet bored demons-guards, rapidly attacking werewolves and the underground trolls again.
When a teenage with a rusty sword enters a cruel world his only friend is a dog. And Fable 2 Release News considers this factor the best one in the game. The dog permanently goes trotting along the gamer, barks happily when finding treasures in the bushes, busily routs, bites the brigands and runs for the ball. When it is afraid of something it tucks in his stomach and has his tail between his legs.
The Albion life charms greatly. First it’s gargoyle hunt when a Hero has to kill it with a true hit, then the gamer can buy a house, have a family, flirt with passer-bys, give and take presents, steal and intimidate, boast of his trophies, work as a woodcutter or a farrier or even fight. One can buy a statue, sit for sculptures.
But Peter Mouline had promised loads of things before the game was released. He didn’t justify the audience confidence. It’s boring to fight because the hero can’t die; other personages look awful and unconvincing. The plot is repeated. But one should mention the game is full of charming tremendous scenes.
Star Wars: The force unleashed PC Game Review
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Game type: Slasher
Age rating: Т
Genre: Space opera
Developer: LucasArts Entertainment
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
This game was expected by many people. The developers promised unprecedented tricks with Power use, the history uniting two Lukas kino-trilogy and the revolutionary gaming mechanics. They waited not only for old and devoted fans of the new Star Wars: The Force Unleashed pc game but for those who are interested in space in general.
So the game is issued. No we can say that the developers have practically kept their words and paradoxically a great number of tar wars have disappointed in the game. The Force Unleashed offers to become a secret pupil of Durt Wader called Starkiller. But in fact as we killed evry opposite storm topper in Jedi Knight as we do the same in The Force Unleashed…
The Force Unleashed developers did all their best to diversify the gaming process due to a great number of the battles with boss. They got to do it. The struggles with bosses were entertaining, fascinating and complicated but the dragged out episode of the Star destructor falling down makes really irritated. The famous popular technologies of the molecular destruction and artificial intelligence neither decorate the game. The most exciting in the game is turns and is developed a plot that is really strange for a slasher. The Starkiller history strikes by its dashing and unpredictable and is created in Star wars traditions. It adds the movie perfectly and always keeps in suspense especially if you have avoided the spoilers. Then the atmosphere of the far away galaxy is reproduced splendidly in the game.
Unfortunately, The Force Unleashed is vary short even for modern gaming society – if you play it slowly it’ll take some evenings. The question is: what were developers doings for 4 years? And the script writers were so lazy that that put the fork between the Evil and Good in the final of the game.
To sum up it is interesting to play The Force Unleashed and I doubt if it disappoint the Star Wars fans. But the project leaves an unpleasant aftertaste of the dissatisfaction. The developers promises were too many. It’s a pity that instead of promised new genre we have another “not bad, but it can be better”.

Spore Game Review
Game type: evolution simulator
Age rating: E10+
Genre: Alternative history
Developer: Maxis
Spore gives birth to truth…
What was earlier: a hen or an egg? You can have three tips – the traditional audience’s help, fifty-fifty 
plan or make a call to your friend. But the forth one will only help you: Spore is the first evolution simulator in the world.
Spore game had a real success and when it first appeared it was literally snapped up. Nevertheless we got not exactly what we had wanted.
The main thing to remember is that Spore is a wonderful complex made of old elements. The game is really very diverse. “Cage” stage is a primitive arcade that reminds of the mobile phone games but it is one of the best arcades in the history of this genre! “Being” is a party adventure with the use of special skills and fashionable clothes of the old times.
“Tribe” is a pattern strategy in a real time. “Space” is a God and planets enslaver simulator. Every stage is a simple and complicated at the same time. Minimal buttons quantity and really complicated balanced system – this is really greatness!
But the main Spore game advantage is not only the game process but a complex of redactors. The best of them is “the beings’ laboratory”. In the beginning of the 21st century wonderful Impossible Creatures strategy was developed where the gamer got the DNA of various animals and made the army of beelions or rabbitodiles. The situation in that game is very like. Everything depends on imagination.
Well, we have perfectly constructed revolution game with a great number of original finds. But why doesn’t it get the highest mark? The main problem is that it hasn’t got motivation. It is rather monotonous. Many consider that it’s also too amorphous and theatrics.
To sum up there haven’t ever been revolution games of the same level. But Spore is not a gamer product. It is the ideal tool for the creators, for those who want to make their own live and colorful world.

In the year 1983 it was the best game with the most advanced graphics, but the developers did all their best to make that game cool today too.

Popular Disney design and style, perfect humor, large difference from usual arcade games and the complicated levels (though the tool panel consisted of one button it is really difficult to win) – all that features attracted Dragon’s Lair fans in the millions. 25 years later the dragon series are alive and continues to develop.

But no one of the game won that many popularity as Dragon’s Lair did.

Age Of Conan Review: Hyborian Adventures
Game Type: Multiuser online RPG
Age Rating: M
Game Genre: Heroic dark fantasy
Developer: Funcom
AGE OF CONAN REVIEW
The entire world was expecting for a new Conan game. Has it proved out hopes and expectations? According to Age of Conan review it did but not all of them.
The absence of the entertaining plot in online RPG is one of the main disadvantages. That’s why Funcom decided to change the situation and presented a unique cocktail of full value single campaign and typical multiplayer weekdays. They have divided the game into night and day. When the sun is shining other players and you cope with quests, and after the sunset you get into the zone where there are plot tasks only for yourself.
It sounds great, but… On the one hand it is realized only on the start island Tortage where we play up to the twentieth level. After the entering into the Hibory world the sound disappears, the dialogues become poor, the quests grow boring. The other shortcoming makes its plot that is too short and simple.
Its combo is a separate topic of discussion. To activate it one needs repeat a special hot keys within second. The new struggling system can’t but surprise: the opponent is vulnerable to right, left and centre blows that reflect on the special color-indicators. They also permanently change the defense level trying to resist the player that’s why one should change the blow direction efficiently. So we should recognize that the game struggling plot is full of pleasant surprises.
As far as its other sides are concerned let it be said that the game is a usual multiplayer RPG with a definite division into the struggle with players and the struggle with monsters. A great accent is given to the private cities and castles upgrade. One can built, occupy and defend them. Unfortunately all that features are realized with many bugs and failures.
Funcom haven’t thought over the high level game content: the heroes of the high levels are boring.
To sum up the game is a powerful epic multiplayer RPG with madly attractive universe, unique atmosphere and the most beautiful modern computer graphics. But to become a landmark it needs to be worked on carefully.

Metal Gear Solid 4 reviews: Guns of the Patriots
Game type: Tactical spy action
Genre: fantasy, cyberpunk
Developer: Kojima Productions
Producer: Konami
An old man and a field
The 20-years saga has ended in the long-awaited stencil destruction. New Metal Gear really differs from the previous one and the differences are not in small details but in the subcortex of the gaming process. The base has perishes and from now on the theatre of action is the entire world: the most conflict areas where the battles between private war corporations and local partisans take part. You can let the partisans eat rations or mine the road on the mercenary way. Any action can help your advancement. Metal Gear representatives have never let be that sophisticated in enemy extermination before. The weapon assortment the ammunition of which one can be filled up anytime (as long as the money is not over). That allows squaring both with ordinary enemies and bosses. Newly economic model is arcaded but doesn’t force to dig oneself in financial things.
Those who worried about the long length of videos can have a sigh of relief. Kojima Productions team has developed the videos 40 minutes in length. But they managed to add them into the game conception so that they don’t bother. Metal Gear Solid 4 reviews tell that it’s really very interesting to admire the heroes even if they talk or cook the fried eggs. The interactivity combining with the war drama makes the game very elegant and stylish. The dying clone of Big Boss fails on the background of dozens of heroes that haven’t appeared on the screens for many years. This fact proves that Guns of the Patriots is mostly the fan project. On other hand the game excels the audience of many American blockbusters but its number.
By the way Kojima Productions has developed the unprecedented fan-service according to their scale. The action is full of histrionics dialogues and traditional marasmus scenes. It is the reign of technocratic impressionism in combination with philosophical Kojima ideas that want to tell the world about everything.
All the Metal Gear Solid 4 reviews are full of positive exclamations about the game character. The game will surprise its amateurs by its mooing devices on chicken legs and other funny things.
The event saturation is so concentrated that sometimes one wants to shout “Stop!” and switch off the power.

The legend of Zelda ocarina of time walk through
There are such games that are not a pity to spend time on. One of them is The Legend of Zelda: of Time. The legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time walk through contains lots of dithyrambs of this game but the one that should be only said is that this game is “The best videogame of all the times”.
Its plot is rather ordinary. The main hero Link is a small boy from the prick-eared wood people where everybody has its own fairy. Once a sleeping boy is awakened by the fairy when she tells him that she will be his companion henceforth as the great tree Decu have decided. A great mission is prepared for Link. Though everything is very simple at the beginning, then the task gets a global scale. Dramatic effect and events swing are increasing and in the end there is a princess Zelda that should be saved by Link.
All the unusual game things are located on the game structure: world features, gaming process, controllability and a plenty of secondary elements. The legend of Zelda ocarina of time walk through tells that it is a talented mix of action, RPG, arcade and quest. It doesn’t mean that the game is divided into various pieces. The action is whole: one can walk in the city, talk to its habitants, jump on the roofs, stub the bushes and so on. There is also a great number of mini-games.
The real gamers will be pleased with the fact that the game has no plot sequence. One is not obligated to do the tasks in strict succession. Though there is also a minus here: sometimes the game needs exactly formulated tasks.
One of the most interesting game features is the changes passing with the main hero. He is turning form a small boy to a young hero. His appearance, skills, arms and game style is changing.
The gaming can last for some weeks or even months due to its variety of the world, plenty of details, mini quests and so on. Though one has passed the game for 5 hours – this fact is fixed on the “Bible of the gamer” of the year 2008.
Sacred – the right game to play now!
Genre: Action/RPG
Developer: Ascaron Entertainment
Producer: Encore Software
German developers have recently pleased the player public by their innovatory projects such as “Gothic” and “Spellforce”. If you are a fan of these games Sacred is the right game to play now. It continues the tradition of interesting RPG games.
The game plot is exciting. One of the strongest daemons is at large. He can destroy the world and that’s why 6 heroes are off to stop the devil incarnate.
The classic trio of a soldier (gladiator), wizard and archer is added with a noble seraph, a cruel dark archer and a bloodthirsty vampire. The plot depends on the hero choice. Besides the major quest every town gives the player small tasks. There are 200 of them.
The game got the slogan “the right game to play now” mostly due to its world size. Playing some hours you’ll see that you’ve opened only 2.5% of game territory. Happily the developers have taken into consideration this fact and have brought horses into the game. For the first time since the RPG genre existence one can go to the stable, examine the horses captiously and paying very little money go to search adventures with faithful horse.
A horse is not only the mean of transport but the helper to kill your enemy. Every personage has special tricks that can be combined into combo, more effective mode session than attacks. They are followed with brilliant special effects.
RPG game system is sustained in the traditions of minimalism: one can improve its characteristic on a point in every level. The archer is concentrated on ride and accuracy, the gladiator does on vitality and axe action and an unusual vampire can call wolves, will submission and the bite that can turn the victim to the slave.
The enemies are attractive 3D heroes that gushes everything around with their crimson blood when dieing. And if the stab is successful they even deprive of their extremities or heads. These tricks can even hamper the view if zooming maximally because blood pulsing fountains detract one’s attention from tactical contrivance. However violence volume can be regulated in the game menu.
Hundreds types of equipment and weapon (including the gear for a favorite horse), the possibility to bewitch various things, the personage import for passing the next higher level and other exciting tricks make “Sacred” bloody, beautiful and very absorbing. There are no plot contrivances or difficult moral dilemmas there but everything is compensated by a non-stop action happening in the colorful fantasy decorations.

Mass Effect game world doesn’t remind the plush universe of “Star Wars” with good and bad heroes. It is more adult and advanced. The creators have took into consideration everything, have tried to give the answers to all the popular questions, have rid of bore struggle between Jekyll and Hyde and have entirely modificated playing mechanism.
Mass Effect Humanity is not a dominating race. The first irresolute human steps in space got them to the Moon. Then to the Mars, where they have founded colonies and in the year 2148 discovered millennial Prothean race ruins.
In general there are 6 playing classes, three of them are unique: Soldier gets the access to weapon, Engineer specializes on electronics, Adept uses paranormal forces to toss up, throw off, and freeze the opponents.
