This is quite suitable for those who like progressive playing and who would like to go from strength to strength in the game.

Tiberian Twilight has all the elements for quite absorbing game play, which is why so many gamers are quite in awe of it and prefer it immensely.

Game review: Supreme Commander II

There are some games that evoke a lot of pleasant memories and cherished moments of joy and thrill that they gave avid players and gamers. One such superlative game the memory of which lingers in mind is the Supreme Commander, which is indeed a game that has a lot of thrills and challenges to its name.  This is a game that has seen giant armies of robots as they try to take on the protagonists. Now that you have Supreme Commander II, there are many who are looking for to relive the magic that the original game had entailed.

The Supreme Commander II games is quite a refined game, which has a number of robots in any army, which is able to bring about great looks and also sound good. There are huge battlefields that will allow you a lot of flexibility and game play action. But you will also see that the graphics are all too similar to the original Supreme Commander, which is not very good for the kind of game newness that you may have wanted and expected. The over simplification of the game is also not very good and leave a lot to be desired and could have been done with, if the creators had paid a little more attention to creativity.

Game Review: Mega Man

Now you have Mega Man that is on his way back. This is a game that some old-timers do remember fondly, as having been able to give them some challenging moments of joy and thrill. The game comes back to its 8-but roots, and its design is similar. But Mega Man in its brand new avatar is not quite as inspiring and great as its distinguished predecessor. Capcom had delivered its best yet performance with the original version of Mega Man and the new version does not really come up to the expectations that had been set earlier.

To be fair to the new version of Mega Man, there are some redeeming features of the new version. For one, the game is a good challenge for many of its age-old fans. It also has a number of levels, that are well designed and able to offer many challenges that captivate players. The easy mode is also better for those who do not like old-world challenges. But the new Mega Man version does not have very good weapons which is a huge complaint.  There are some aspects of Mega Man in its new version that do not have as good robot master designs as before. The game, frankly, leaves a lot to desire.

Game Review: Toy Soldiers

There are some great things that come in small but nice packages. This is quite true of the game Toy Soldiers, where the soldiers may be quite small but then they are bundles of joy and fin once you get down to the business of playing the games. These games are set back in World War 1 , where soldiers had to jump into and fight from trenches, and also take on the enemy from all sides. Some of the main features of the game are that the soldiers can jump into the units and trenches and fire into the enemy ranks. Similarly, it is also possible to control biplanes and tanks, at will, which increases the interest in the game. There is also a great incentive to replay the game over and over again.

But there are some aspects of the game that you need to contend with, which are not all that great. In Toy Soldiers, you cannot co-op play and the battlefields are also not too big. In addition, it is also true that the game seems to be a bit confusing as it does not say in the promotional videos that the game is a tower defense game. You just cannot guess this at all from these videos.

Game review: Final Fantasy

There are many people who are in love with the games of old, when games were simple and yet so powerful. But you must realize that the old has to give way for the new. That is what development is all about. If you just get caught up in history, there is very little that would come by, in terms of any improvement.

Game Review: Total War

Total War is a game that has had many fans over the years, and with good reason. The game had taken its players on a spin, with the war on so many colonies. There was an old-world charm to the whole affair, with the possibility of forming quite a few coalitions, based on whatever combinations that suit your fancy. The avowed aim was to unify the New World, and you also learn a little about history along the way. You get an opportunity to fight the war like Napoleon, and get more success than him at Waterloo. So in a way, you can not only relive history, but also tweak it around based on your fancy.

With Total War, it is possible to have a look at the life of Napoleon the Great. Here you have a look at how the little man emerged from his home in the island, as also then onto the French stage and indeed onto the continent. You will also get a chance to get to the desert, where you see that the army did not do well in the Egyptian desert. There is also a chance that you can get back to Europe for a change in destiny. In any case, it is possible to take sides with Russia, Prussia, Austria or Great Britain which had chosen to oppose the Napoleonic army. The choice is entirely yours.

Shiren the Wanderer: Game Review

Shiren the Wanderer takes you back in time. This is a time when there was depth in the gameplay of games  and where you saw the look and feel of games being like computer hieroglyphics. There was some sort of old-world charm to the games, that had you mesmerized and spell bound too. This is quite a punishing game of tactics, where you have to apply all the strategies that you can, in order to come up trumps. The style of the game is such that it does not take into account the developments in the RPG field that have taken place over the last thirty years or so.  So those who are die-hard fans of RPG need to beware.

Shiren the Wanderer looks at the game where there is a huge dungeon, at the bottom of which there is a treasure.  The treasure needs to be fetched from the bottom, but there are a lot of challenges and obstacles to be faced. If your character dies during the game, all the previous good work is totally undone and you are left to start off all over again. While this can be tedious for some, there are fans of the game who do not mind this at all, and are more than willing to start again from scratch.

Bad Company 2: Game Preview

There are some games that gain iconic status. There are quite a few of these games that have captured the imagination of a whole generation of gamers, which do not get erased from public and private memory very easily. One of these games is Bad Company. Now you can have a preview of Bad Company 2, which has liberally taken from Modern Warfare as well as the Battlefield. The combination of these two games seems strange at first look, but it has its appealing parts too. The game is a spoof on the Battlefield in some ways,  while making quite a few improvements in the game too.

Bad Company 2 begins where Bad Company left off. Bad Company as a game was well known for being its creator’s first shot at being a single player game that was story line driven and based. The end of the game saw its main players Redford, Sweetwater, Marlowe and Haggard as driving away into the distance with their truck laden with gold bars. In Bad Company 2, the start of the game makes it evident that the gang has lost all its gold. The main plot revolves of how the mercenaries have to pit their wits together to ensure that they are independently and adequately wealthy. Makes for quite an interesting plot!

Game review: Dynasty Warriors

There are a lot of folks who find Dynasty Warriors quite a forgettable experience. There are aspects of the game that do not inspire much awe or admiration. The game series has just a few basic concepts that seemed to have exhausted themselves. The game was based on the issue of uniting or destroying feudal China. And it was based only on a single controller button,  that seemed to be all powerful in winning or losing the game. And now you have Strikeforce that takes inspiration from the Dynasty Warriors game. There are some who feel that the game does not add much to the older version.  The mashing controller button seems to be all powerful even now.

But there are some aspects of Strikeforce that are rather distinctive. It has some alterations that tweak the game to an extent that it seems quite different from the original Dynasty Warriors. The problem is not distinctiveness.  It’s more about the fact that the game is patently boring and could do with a serious dose of excitement. Now you have small rooms that you have to cross, and while these areas do have a lot of stuff, you do miss the earlier wide expanses of battles in the plains.
