What a difference a beard makes... Seriously. The promotional material for Splinter Cell: Conviction saw pictures of a bedraggled Sam Fisher plastered everywhere just to let us know that things had changed. Its the classic movie convention - clean cut equals a by the book good guy, stubble equals either a bad guy or a good guy with a tendency to make up the rules as he goes along but the full beard is the uniform of a broken man.
Since quite a few people were saying that Warband wasn’t much of a change over the original game, I did my research into the series by playing around ¾ of a year of Mount & Blade senior, checking out the different features, learning the combat model and just getting a feel for the franchise. Now I could go completely in depth with this review and describe every facet of Mount & Blade Warband and is predecessor but that would take forever; really it’s a huge game. So instead I’ll focus on a few key points of the game, giving some pros and some cons and ultimately conclude it to see whether it’s worth its price tag.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a game that recreated the element of surprise at the heart of each conflict, one that would enable players to not only show the understanding of their arsenal but also genuine lateral thinking in the face of something unexpected?
Ever since the first wave of games in the "Survival Horror" genre creators of such titles have looked to ramp up the scares, the tension and just exactly how horrific their creations can get. Metro 2033 has a huge advantage in this respect being based on a truly traumatic novel by Russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky. In the usual bleak "mankind will eventually destroy itself" setting the protagonist of the game, Artyom, is one of a handful of survivors that were not killed during a nuclear holocaust.
Die Siedler-Reihe ist eine der erfolgreichsten Spiele-Auskopplungen aus deutschen Landen. Ob die Bluebyte Studios und Ubisoft mit "Die Siedler 7" einen gelungenen Spielehit hinlegen, zeigen wir in folgendem Test.
Im ersten Teil verschlug es den Geheimagenten Rico Rodriguez nach Südamerika, im zweiten Teil findet er sich im fiktiven südostasiatischen Inselstaat Panau wieder. In zahlreichen Videos von Just Cause 2 gab es einen Stunt nach dem anderen zu sehen, in dem der Held Rico Rodriguez wahrlich die Insel in Schutt und Asche legte. Der Entwickler Avalanche Studios verspricht mit dem Open-World-Actiontitel nicht nur bessere Optik, mehr Abwechslung sondern auch eine verbesserte Spielmechanik samt neuem Enterhaken, so soll der Nachfolger für vielseitige und spannende Spielstunden sorgen. Der Ausstecher nach Panau soll zeigen, ob dem so ist.
Mit Awakening haben Electronic Arts und BioWare unlängst ein Addon zu Dragon Age: Origins veröffentlicht. Nach eher durchschnittlichen Download-Inhalten klärt ComputerBase in einem Kurztest, ob der neuerliche Ausflug in die DAO-Welt die Reise wert ist.
The Command and Conquer series is rightly revered by real-time strategy buffs as one of the most important in the entire genre. For fifteen years different generations have built bases, amassed units and then gone and marched on to victory against a variety of opponents, all done using the same tried and tested interface that has been replicated countless times. However, time doesnt wait for anyone and anything and even the third imagining of C&C garnered praise for its retro charm but little in the way of innovation.
Der erste Teil von Assassin's Creed sorgte für eine Mischung aus Begeisterung und Enttäuschung. Manche fanden den Vorgänger einfach grandios, andere bloß langweilig oder auch immens repetitiv. Die atemberaubende Kulisse, abwechslungsreiche Kämpfe aber auf Dauer eintönige Aufgaben verhinderten um einen Hauch den erfolgreichen Angriff auf den Genre-Thron. Der Nachfolger Assassin’s Creed 2 setzt nahtlos zur zweiten Runde da an, wo Ubisofts Attentäter vergangenes Jahr seinen letzten Kampf ausgefochten hat. Noch immer dreht sich alles um Barkeeper „Desmond Miles“, der im sogenannten Animus die Erinnerungen seiner Vorfahren nacherlebt. Vor allem sollen nahezu alle Kritikpunkte des Vorgängers ausgemerzt worden sein. Wir begleiten den Ausflug in das Zeitalter der Renaissance nach Italien.
The first Just Cause required more suspension of disbelief than your average Hollywood blockbuster and this turned out to be both a blessing and a curse. Some lauded its over the top non-stop action and stunts while others labeled it as simply trying too hard, all brawn and no brains. Flying round a huge island in a stolen plane, only to jump out at will with a parachute and kill some bad guys before the character has even hit the ground...
