REVIEW: Delta Force 2 (1999, PC, Novalogic)
2012-05-11 17:58:17
Buy Delta Force 2 from Amazon.comPrologueBefore there was Counter Strike, there was Delta Force. I'm about to review the sequel Delta Force 2 released at 1999, because that's the game I actually played before Delta Force 1. It's also one of those rare games that kept me hooked almost a decade with great multiplayer action -- until servers "ran dry". The second part was also released same year than Counter Strike mod, which had it's retail version coming out year 2000. Delta Force 2 was developed by Novalogic, previously known for Comanche arcade helicopter shooters and the Delta Force 1, released a year before. Many may argue about this, but to me DF2 was the pinnacle of the series, with DF1 coming close. The series took turn to worse after this.(This article is copyrighted by www.thegamer

2012-05-11 17:55:07
Pre-Order from Amazon.com PC | Xbox 360 | Ps3Assassin's Creed III (aka Assassin's Creed 3) is coming out this year, likely Tuesday 30th of October 2012. Rumor tells that the game will be released on PC, Playstation 3, Wii U, and Xbox 360. Counting from this day the game's been on development for three full years, according to the developer of the game Ubisoft.

Modern Gaming Business - Big Budgets, Commercial Releases Only
2012-05-11 17:51:10
Anyone who started playing for example PC games before New Millenium, or even since 80's, has most likely noticed that variety of the games in terms of gametypes and personal ideas have gone way downhill even the whole past decade. Game mechanics has been simplified, while graphics and cinematic cut-scenes have been cranked to the maximum. Sounds familiar? I know that partly, just partly, we can blame it on multi-platform releases that concerns these days perhaps even majority of average to bigger game releases. But multi-platform issue is just one piece of the big picture. Let's look bit deeper.I did read some articles about game budgets getting out of hand, and realized just another problem, which keeps publishers ditching games that aren't commercial enough.

PREVIEW: Dishonored (Dec 2012, Pc, Xbox360, Ps3)
2012-05-11 17:50:19
Pre Order from Amazon.com | Pc | Xbox360 | Ps3 |When I first time read about Dishonored with news titles like ”What are publishers Bethesda coming up with next?”, I wasn’t too interested into the game. It immediately reminded me of Bethesda published and funded games, which another studio developed, like WET and Rogue Warrior – the ones not too highly rated. Besides, the more interesting thing to me than who is the publisher (Bethesda), is who are the actual developers and creators of the game. So I decided to dig bit deeper just to see what game company is actually making this newest title that Bethesda is about to publish.What is Dishonored you ask? It's shortly first person sci-fi / steampunk shooter combining stealth elements - being released for PC, Xbox360 and Playstation 3 b

2012-05-11 17:46:41
What Is Age Of Decadence?Age Of Decadence you say, I never heard of it. What is Age of Decadence? Well you might as well have missed this one even if you were Pc gaming regular. Age of Decadence is an indie computer role-playing game developed by Iron Tower Studios, set in post apocalyptic fantasy world inspired by the fall of Rome. The game plays as isometric top-down 3D with controllable zooming and rotating the view and uses Torque Engine. Age of Decadence's world is low magic universe, and by playing open beta you probably wouldn't even recognize it's supposed to be post apocalyptic by it's art. There isn't much destruction in the world visible in beta, where you can do questlines for one town. But it's definite Roman setting. Almost feels like you were in historical setting, unless yo

GOG.com Weekend Promo - Might & Magic Universe Games -50% Off
2012-05-11 17:44:37
That's right.All Might & Magic or Heroes of Might & Magic releases are -50% in GOG this weekend in exception of Heroes V and VI.I'm quite tempted to get digital copies of M&M7: For Blood and Honor, and M&M8: Day of The Destroyer for $2.99 a piece! M&M9 and Crusaders of Might & Magic is also the same price.Other than that the rest are $4.99, such as every Heroes of Might & Magic releases up 'till IV, and M&M 1-6 6-pack. The whole lot of ten games all together seems to cost $41.90 - which in my opinion is pretty darn good price for ten Might & Magic games, although M&M9 and Heroes Chronicles: All Chapters might be a bit of a filler. This promo ends next Sunday night. If you ever still wanted to play Heroes games under modern Windows, might be a great c
