Rise of Legends vs Rise of Nations

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 like the other one but in opposite ways. You put both together to get a game god would be proud of. You may be standing in, where ever you buy your games and looking at these games wondering which one to buy, I can't give you a definite answer but I have tips
-what are the specs of your computer if high then you got a delima, if low then Rise of Nations
-are you a history buff or love the fantasy?
-and finally what do you play for, the strategy or gameplay with awesome visuals, Rise of Legends is a done deal if you want game thats is awesome to look (make sure you got the specs) but be ready for some real in depth gameplay. If you love the deep back and forth fighting and just love all the tactical stuff then get Rise of Nations, but be ready for some less than beauty battles.

Total War: Rome II

Total War: Rome II So it took almost 2 years but I think I finally like this game. It's amazing to me because Rome Total War probably up there in most played game. The hours I have put into the game, and the nights spent trying to take over the known world are so many. The memory of playing the demo for the first time sticks in my brain in the original game. Taking my force and attacking from the tress in a surprise maneuver just had me my teenager mind lost in a sea of tactics and battles. From that point it was nights spent avoiding homework going "just one more turn" as my armies marches across the classical world. There was something to a game that balanced a great real time war scenario with a simple yet fun turn based system that had you stuck once you started. Years went by, and more Total War games came out, but slowly they just stopped being the Total War games I loved. Looking at them I loved certain parts but the dark era of gunpowder nev...

Sins of a Solar Empire

Yep, the game I looked so forward to is finally out and its a massive...(in anticipation I decide to keep you waiting) amazing. This has been a game to wait for this year, and should win itself a few awards. From massive epic scale battles to easy but interesting empire management, the game is a killer. You start with one planet, but have the option of conquering solar systems of up to about 20 planets and even to a galaxy which can hold 5 solar systems. This means massive empires but no worries on to much micro management, the game has a simple yet still fun way of managing you empire from a side bar which shows all planets and everything inside them. With such a large area to make you empire and for it to keep fun this game will suck away all your free time. It being an rts you will find a hard time to find a place to stop. Trust me, I will try to play this game for only an hour and then 4 hours later and probably some sort of social event gone by, I am still playing and conquering ...

A new Sheriff in town

Hey Folks, won't even go into how long it has been but as tradition, a new gaming machine means a new blog post. Normally I would post if I had upgraded my main computer with something amazing. However my old 2010 iMac is still a beast so I have yet to need to do anything with it. In the mean time Macbook Air and a Macbook Pro have done well to fill any other voids I might have. This being said today I got probably the first time, a fully operational gaming machine. It is not like a typical gaming machine however. I don't have a huge case, or 2 GPU with i7 whatever in it. Instead i got an Alienware Alpha. This thing takes up less space then a Xbox, or PS4 yet punches even harder. It has a 2 GB Nvidia card in it paired with 8 GB of Ram, and a 250 SSD. It only has a i3 processor but this is a machine meant for games. It is not meant to destroy frame rates, or edit movies however compared to the 2010 1 GB ATI card in my iMac it can beat the pants off of it for sure. I have yet ...
