I would like to bring you to a world where machines look like Da Vinci artworks, were army's were commanded by large scorpions and giant idol's roam the land. This is Rise of Legends, sounds kind awesome huh, well it is maybe its strategy is a little stale, and unit balance is a bit off but this is only a pinprick to the Mona Lisa. The art is this game will blow your mind, you might just have battles for the sheer beauty of what is happening on your very screen. Its parent game Rise of Nations, is also its opposite the graphics are still fun, but the beuaty has left and artwork. This is made up for in the sheer depth of the strategy, I have in that game bitching matches with the computer over land, we struggle back and forth until either one of us buckles at are forced to send army's running away. Now in my head and some other peoples I can assure you, we wonder which game is the best, which one can overcome its flaws. Well I believe their is no winner, both games are just ...

I must that I am a big geek to any rts(real time strategy) games, I love the whole idea about making your army then waging war. The major appeal of these games is the strategy aspect, for instance if I should split my forces into two armies and pincer the guy or make a hammer out of my one army. Its this stuff that makes me want to play over and over again. Now to this date, I have really yet to find a game that brings me this feel over and over again. I have found games which I would play a battle and have that feeling but it didn't reproduce it. I've had battles in rome:total war wear my forces were almost gone but using cunning and counter units I was able to push back their army. Company of Heroes is another game in which is just all kinds of strategy in it, but again, when my force is massive and theirs is not so big I can win the game, sure their are moment when I split my forces or send them on some amazing tactical move but that happens once in blue moon. I am not sayin...

Today, I have some wise advice that I would like to share with you, never show a friend a good game, because trust me you will love the game all over again and yes this happened to me. I showed a friend of mine, what Garry's mod was and once I got to playing it I noticed how awesome it was again. Garry's mod is a half life 2 modification of sorts, really its a sandbox to do what ever you want. example: I built a hot air balloon, out of a container that you see on those huge boats. I recently got Garry's mod 10, to stubborn to update, and was enjoying the hell out of it. The main new update is its interface and I love because it's got that shiny polish all over it. Everything is sleek and smooth running, it shows a real professionalism about which the update was well worth. This is the game that if you want something new, or just something dare I say never gets boring, then I suggest you get this, it now cost about 10$ for Garry's mod 10 but you can still find the 9...

You hate it, you love it these seem to be what people are feeling about this tv show controversy. To be honest I love the show to death, it is well written, and just so damn amazing. Now I was over at www.imdb.com and noticed that on the message board that alot of people have beef with Ronald D. Moore, I have not known of him until well about a few weeks before. The main debate about him is mostly looking at his past work which just pisses me off. You want to know what his past work was, it was fuckin Star Trek and Mission Impossible 2. Now maybe Mission Impossible 2 could have been better (by alot) but never look at Star Trek as an example for bad writing, I mean come on its Star Trek, it has bad writing no matter what it does (well for alot of its episodes). For those of you who say, well you have never watched it or given it a try, I used to be a very big Star Trek geek (trekker for those of you) and even then I found TNG kinda bad which was suppose to be the best Star Trek. I mean...

Lets start off with if you don't know this game then you are unworthy of games, this is the game to play if you are a gamer, even if you like rts you will like this game. Now that I am done bumming out those who have not played, and you know who you are. I must talk about the best level in the game...Ravenholm. This level is also my hated partly because it is so good. Here is the setting, a small town taken over by zombies, some are fast (they kinda act like werewolf's), some are slow, and some are just pumped up. You first walk in this town, with creepy music and lots of spinny blades. After you go through it for a bit, you start to notices your weapons getting less and less ammo, and are more cautious about corners and things you don't see. There is half point where you are almost out of ammo and health but your friend the crazy church guy throws you a shotgun, here you go hells ya, but wait those werewolf things start coming like crazy and you are just blasting away. We...

Time to talk about the game that was all hype and now seems to have left Homeworld. For those of you who dont know what Im talking about, this is a game which let you fight space battles in a total 3d world. There was always impending attack from above or below, you didn't really know. It allowed for some epic large scale battle and brought strategy to a new scale. Now that you are up to date, there has been talk about this franchise bieng picked up by Relic again, which sounds amazing for this was one of the great games of our time. If this rumor is real then God has blessed us becasue Homeworld with a updated graphics and some of the new innovative ideas out in the rts world these days it would become another great classic. I think one of the great things that would be good to have on this new Homeworld would be real time damge, so lets say a Ion cannon hits the turret of you ship in the right barrel then that barrel would become obsolete or if you spliced their ship in half...
