Battlefield: Bad Company



Well it looks like I found myself a new online addiction, and its name is Battlefield: Bad Company. This has captured me in its evil grasp, and damn it all I can’t blow a hole through the hand. Granted it is only the demo of the game, it, and I say this with all the credibility of a gamer I can (which is probably nothing) it is the new Call of Duty 4. I say this because Bad Company is Call of Duty 4 but with more humour and lots of destructible environments.

If no one has heard of this game, then get your head out of your asses and do it...or keep reading cause I’m going to explain the game. Bad Company is the first game by dice that actually focuses on a single play in the battlefield series. Yes you could say Battlefield: Modern Conflict has a single player but it clearly was second place in importance with Dice. This game is hilarious, if you have seen the trailers you know what I mean, and even playing a few of the levels showed me the hilariousness of the dialogue such as “I’m going to check for his pulse...in his pockets”.

The second main feature of the game is 90% destructible environments. The term destructible environments have been thrown around before but never on this scale and it works out amazingly. I would run through a city by smashing through walls, making my doors through building. The reason for it only being 90% destructible environments is only because if everything could be destroyed, objectives and certain gameplly elements could be broken. Destructible environments are so well done, I remember a game I played, and by the end a certain land (plantation for those of you) we were fighting for had been reduced to noting but a shed, a few supports for a building and lots of craters.

This game only being a demo, but yet I have played the same one map over and over again and enjoyed each time feeling like it’s a different game. It has a polished feel to it even though it’s only a Demo. The graphics are not anything special but are on par with Call of Duty 4 and even surpasses even certain areas.
This is a game that everyone should try, to at least see how destructible environments can affect games and the comedy, which hopefully will be as good as Portal.

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 ...
