Star Wars: Empire at war

a two post day today

best star wars rts but from there it goes down

This game seems to have made a stir in star wars fan's hearts and even alot of rts buffs, but I just don't get why? It really brought not alot new ideas to the rts world, maybe a few tricks that are neat but only smoke and mirrors. Now I must say its the best star wars rts out there, it has some awesome action and pretty graphics, it also has the cinematic view which is always fun to play with. I may just have beef with its extremely low unit cap which I can't just seem to get over, but even dawn of war which had low unit caps at least had more vehicles and units on screen. The gameplay to me seems stale of what a rts game should be. The star wars universe has such great ideas for rts, but it seems that to date for me the rts game has yet to be made. The galactic map which I was just trying out was a really cool idea and could easily be really addicting but I found its setup quiet buggish and there were things that would have been neat like maybe being able to attack with 2 forces at the same time or even lets say more than fucking 20 unit caps. The ground battles in the galactic map was a neat idea to it but man is it hard to do unless you have a massive army. I went into battles that my guys doubled in size but they just seemed to have an endless line of troops which is because of the barracks but it seemed way to large still. If you are looking for a good rts game, please go some where else, there are so many other better rts out there but if you want a star wars rts then grab this one because it is the best one out there but not by much.

I may point out it's the only star wars RTS, and yes the unit caps suck. Oh and dawn of war rules.

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 ...
