Nodiatis Review - MMORPG11.15.08

Nodiatis Review

Nodiatis is a very interesting game. It comes to the table with a promise of excitement and adventure but only for those of you that love strategic and complex character development. You will surely enjoy the possibility to test the character you created against others and you do have an interesting PvP system, which is not really classic. When talking about MMO settings we can say that this is quite a classic role playing game but PvP is a little more special now. Now you can become an ultimate bad guy as you can kill other players and steal items from them. No the problem is that if you force an attack and win, you will not only get prizes but the ultimate punishment as well. After that moment, if you die you are completely dead. There will be no resurrection possible. It is exactly this permanent death feature that sets Nodiatis appart from other games online.  (more…)

Diablo 2 Review03.05.08

Diablo 2 BoxDiablo is one of the most appreciated RPG games in the world. It was developed by Blizzard, the same company that made World of Warcraft. The first game of the series was a huge success. Contrary to other games, Diablo 2, which followed the story of the first game, was also very popular. Blizzard didn’t offer the fans just another lame comeback, but a great game indeed. Although lots of RPGs appeared since, Diablo is still a game that millions all over the world play. Also, millions of websites are dedicated to this game all over the world. This can only mean that the public’s interest has not at all faded.

Besides the fact that Diablo 2 has a way better graphic engine comparing to the first one, the gameplay and storyline are just as good and caching. This game brings you in a mystical world of adventures. You can play the role of different characters, from which you can choose at the beginning: a barbarian, a necromancer, a sorceress, a paladin and an amazon. The Lord of Destruction expansion also brigs us two more characters: a druid and an assassin. Every character has (more…)

World Of Warcraft - A Gamer’s Review02.14.08

world of warcraftThe early winter of 2005 brought with it the launch of probably one of the most successful games in the history of gaming: World of Warcraft. Produced by Blizzard Entertainment, already made famous by such titles as Diablo, Starcraft and the Warcraft series, their latest brain-child took the world by storm.

What is it? A MMORPG. That is to say it’s a roleplaying game, with all the goodies that has to offer, with a twist: it’s online. Thousands of players world-wide can connect to hundreds of copies of the game-world and enjoy the contents along with others. Still, there are many other MMORPG’s out there. Everquest, Guildwars, Eve, the more recent Dungeons and Dragons Online, to name a few. So what makes “WoW” as it rapidly became known, so special? It’s a question that most avid players find really hard to answer. Let’s try to break it down a bit and explore what it has to offer.

The world. Based in the lore-setting created by the Warcraft series, in the future of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, one of the things that appeals the most to its fans is the (more…)

Rogue Galaxy Review02.11.08

Jaster Rogue - Rogue GalaxyRogue Galaxy is one game that seems to never end. When I played it I spent so much time on it that it became stressing that I was not able to finish it. It was not due to the fact that it was too difficult but because the game was quite long. In most cases you tend to get bored and there were moments with Rogue Galaxy that will see you getting a little bored due to some battles being repetitive but this usually happens when you basically need to gather more experience in order to defeat a boss monster or something like that (or if you simply want to defeat some more monsters). If we want to take a look at the game in an overall fashion we can say that it is hard to get bored with it as the story is captivating, there are a lot of playable characters, minigames and the recipe for a long and entertaining game is well cooked up.

Rogue Galaxy is built around the story of a young Jaster Rogue. He just wants to hunt beasts on his home planet and wants to have some excitement in (more…)
