Drakensang – Notes

As a follow-up to my post on Virtual Worlds the other day, here’s a post on Drakensang – after spending about six evenings in it, several of which with Hannah cradled in my arms.
Visually, the game’s amazing, the more so considering that the game wasn’t from some big California-based game studio. I ran the game [...]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – First Looks

And definitely worth a look – watch the video till the end for a surprise.:)

Of Virtual Worlds

My wife was asking me the other night whether the RPG (Drakensang) I was playing on the computer was a single or multiplayer game.
Here’s the deal: ironically, while my major and life ‘defining’ work has been in multiplayer virtual worlds, since marriage I no longer spend as much time in those worlds as I once did.
Why? [...]

Ghostbusters

…Been quite a busy week… Finally got the time to collect my thoughts and update the blog. Still got some assignments unfinished though, so I’d better make this quick.
The classic series Ghostbusters is back, in the form of a game. Taking control of the unnamed “Rookie”, the new Experimental Equipment Technician, you go ghost hunting [...]

Halo… From Combat Evolved To Reach

Well, I think that after finishing my final assignment for INCG, I should write about the topic that I chose for the assignment. And naturally, like any avid gamer,  I chose to write on something that I really liked, and that was the Halo franchise. For starters, if Bungie Software wasn’t acquired by Microsoft , [...]

Just Some Encouragement

Well, even though all the freshmen (including me) are currently doing our final assignments and are busy, I think that from time to time, it is good to take a break from all the work, just sit down and do what you like, whether it’s dotaing, reading a book or just slacking around… Everyone needs [...]

Drakensang – Early Notes

One trend I haven’t especially liked in the last decade or so of video gaming has been the gradual dearth of role-playing games.
And by this, I mean the ‘traditional’ ones and not the action-based hybrids and Diablo-clones of which we still see a semi-steady stream of, e.g. Titan’s Quest (which was a lot of fun), [...]

Anno 1404

We received a review copy of the game title a couple of weeks ago, and the title was assigned to Muhammad Redha (GET Freshmen) whose review will be published soon in New Era’s magazine. I’ve always enjoyed the Anno series, so picked up my own copy of the game recently.
Anno 1404 is a city construction [...]

MechWarrior – reboot?

For those gamers who’ve played the old series of Mechwarrior games on the PC from the mid 90s onwards, you’re gonna love this announcement.:)
The MechWarrior Q&A on IGN confirms yesterday’s indications that a new MechWarrior game is in the works, discussing the project with Piranha Games president Russ Bullock and FASA cofounder/MechWarrior creator Jordan Weisman [...]
