Corpse Party - The Review -

Reviewing this one will be really difficult, it’s a story driven game and up to that it’s horror, so there are many points to be evaluated even though I am not able to address them directly.

First off I will be answering a few questions that are related to the game and most likely will give you an insight on what you have to expect.

If the Q&A part is too long for you just skip it.

Dungeons of Dredmor: Review

Don't you just know that situation, when you see what seems like a good deal yet you're not completely convinced you'll have an actual use for the product? Even worse, when you learn about how exciting said thing seems to be, and you regret not taking a closer look before? Well, that describes my first encounter with Dungeons of Dredmor.
Thanks to the Steam Holiday Sale and the accompanying event, I got to play the game for the first time - and got addicted.

To my defence - DoD got released on the same day as Cthulhu Saves the World, which was an instant-buy for me. Thus, my indie-needs were satisfied for the time being, and I moved on, laughing about mighty Cthulhu and his groupie.
In hindsight, I shouldn't have disregarded the Dungeons of Dredmor, which the over 6 hours I've put into the game since Tuesday evening have clearly proven.

Assassin's Creed Revelations -Review-

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted"

With those rather cryptic words everybody who played the first three games and the spin-offs should know what it's about. Another round, no maybe the last one for Ezio Auditore and Altair Ibn La Ahad has has begun.
So only one question remains, are you all willing to follow the Creed this time or will it bore you to hell to follow those footsteps with pride?

War in the North: Review

The review is finally done! A few days later than I hoped, but earler than I expected.
A few words before you start reading - it isn't a bad game, and certainly not as horrible as I predicted from trailer one onwards.

Deus EX: HR The Missing Link (DLC Addition)

Welcome back dear readers to another round of "tag me" in Deus Ex Human Revolution.

There was once a submarine and it was yellow (as my fellow reviewer would say). This little submarine was cut of it’s content in favour of the DLC and release date.
So you invested your hard earned bucks in DeusEx Human revolution and are eager for more?

You want to see what Adam Jensen is capable of once more?

You liked the story and the philosophical background and want to experience the whole thing anew?

Your answer if you should or shouldn’t will be answered here.

DX3: Human Revolution – Review

The long awaited sequel or rather prequel to the first two games, a title I was hesitant to play. One reason was that I am by no means an Eidos fan and the second that … it’s published by SquareEnix.
The reasons I decided to review all this were also two. The good scores it managed to achieve in every magazine or site there is and the point that my co-worker DarkChaplain stopped playing it for a while. *g*

Some of you might have played it already, finished the game, congratulations for that feat since this one has a pretty healthy gameplay counter.
If the explanation of every detail is too long to bear for you, please feel free to jump to the "conclusion part".

First Thoughts on Space Marine: Multiplayer

Finally, after about one and a half years since my registration on the official Space Marine forum, the game got released. At least in most of Europe and a while ago in the US.
Sadly, UK people and others still need to wait til Friday.

I don't really need to say much, I think. The Game is GREAT.
It feels natural, the difficulty is still fun and rewarding, and the Multiplayer gets better and better the longer you play.

It's now 7:37am, release was at midnight, and I have 5+ hours on my record already.
Surprisingly, after 2 hours of the Singleplayer Campaign, I switched to Multiplayer.
Before I quit I had some very enjoyable rounds alongside and against Relic-employees, which made a nice event. Gaming with the Developers of the game you're adoring? Brilliant experience. Now I can claim that the guys at Relic are my Battle-Brothers for real!

Yeah, we're trying to do serious Game Reviews here!

...or at least what we're telling ourselves when not being fascinated by Luka...

A-anyway, don't run away just yet, we're just playing around for now, trying to find a proper title, banner and all that stuff, refining the overall design and so on.
Believe it or not, it's progressing well!

This Luka-madness at least brought us DISQUS, a nice background and fun while working on this site, so don't judge us just yet~

Edit Alkaid:
Guess I don't need to explain to you all that we are crazy huh? ... You've seen it for yourself, but he is right, it's a nice feeling and even I am confident in this project (which usually isn't the case at all) btw currently loading/installing Deus EX HR so that Darky doesn't have to do everything on his own.
from watching it I can only say one thing: TOO MUCH YELLOW EVERYWHERE!!!!

First Thoughts on Deus Ex: HR

So, me's grabbed Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
I don't know if it will be worth the buy yet, and I'm not far into the game.

However, I already have some thoughts about the game I'd like to share. Maybe some of you can comment on them to hopefully assure me it'll get better later on.

My first time playing involved dear Alkaid, who'll work with me on a Game-related Project. We're preparing stuff currently, thinks are extremely confusing since neither of us has been working on a team project like that before, and especially the presentation needs to be done well.
More on that soon enough. Important point is I'm directly talking about the game while playing, streaming via skype.

Assassin's Creed 1&2 Dual Review

FOREWORD

Finally, I got this massive review done.
Over 5400 words, maybe too many to read, but certainly not enough to fully touch every aspect of the games.
As already stated, I'm combining the first two Assasssin's Creed titles, so you'll find two paragraphs on almost every section as well as two scores at the end.
Please keep in mind that I played the PC version, which will have a bearing in the technical aspects of the review.

It took me ages to write all this down - although I admit I took too many breaks and got distracted far too often. I hope you'll forgive me for postponing this post so many times, but I couldn't help it. Now, without wasting further words, go ahead and read my impressions - and ratings - of the first two Assassin's Creed games.
I hope you'll enjoy it!
