Kivi's Underworld

Saturday, January 03, 2009 by TheDoc || [0 Comments]

Kivi's Underworld I recently had the pleasure of playing this little gem of a game. It's been a long time since I've been able to pick up a game, install it in about a minute or two, and be up and running playing a game that is pretty fun. First, this game only weights in at a little over 100 megs. At first, I was a little skeptical since most games are now a cd to a dvd big, and some that size are pretty bad. I got this installed as I said, in about a minute or so, which surprised me again. Now with the little size, along with the fast install, I'm thinking thing might not be a good thing (I guess the 45 minute wow updates have me beat lol). So, with that said, I start up the game, not sure really what to expect (I didn't look at the website much, so I didn't get any pre-conceived ideas about the game, graphics, etc.)

Space Force: Rogue Universe

Monday, August 20, 2007 by TheDoc || [3 Comments]

Space Force: Rogue Universe Constantly rumored to be extinct, space combat sims are a rare breed these days. Yet, Space Force: Rogue Universe aims to change the fortune of recent games that were over-hyped and delivered less than promised. Boasting a wide variety of ships, weapons and races, as well as an incredible graphics engine, the entire galaxy is your playground as you choose what to do, from creating a formidable trade empire, to becoming an intergalactic diplomat, to turning your laser cannons against everyone as a widely hated space pirate.

Space Force 2 can be played in either of two modes– Story mode or Free mode. In Story mode, you follow Jim Anderson, an EMD pilot trying to find his lost sister. You watch as Jim’s father is killed in space while Jim and his sister are still children. Fast forward a number of years, and the siblings have grown apart. When Jim hears troubling news concerning his sister, he knows he must do whatever it takes to find her and make her safe. However, you can follow the story arc at your leisure while dabbling in any of the other elements the game offers. Free mode is exactly as it sounds: you are free to simply explore the galaxy, trading goods, fighting battles and accepting side quests while making both friends and enemies. This open-ended nature allows you to enjoy Space Force 2 however you see fit.

Transformers Sequel Ships

Friday, June 26, 2009 by TheDoc || [0 Comments]

Activision announced today that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has shipped to stores nationwide for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo DS and PC.

The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game for the next-gen consoles and PC lets players take on the role of their favorite Transformers, picking from the largest, most diverse range of playable characters – each with their own distinct abilities and weaponry. Set in unique environments across the globe such as Cairo and Shanghai, the game allows players to instantly switch between vehicle and robot modes as they drive, fly, fight and blast their way through intense, pressure-packed levels. After engaging in single player action, players for the first time ever will be able to go online and battle friends in all-new multiplayer modes.

The Wii and PlayStation 2 system versions follow a similar storyline to the film and allow players to battle as both Autobots and Decepticons, through 15 action-packed levels featuring vehicular sequences, flight-based rail levels and blistering combat chains full of close-ranged strikes and projectile missile attacks. Both games also feature instant-join co-op gameplay throughout the intense campaign.

The Nintendo DS titles enable players to engage in global competitions through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection where they must help their side win the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons through downloadable challenge missions. For the first time, gamers can customize their own Transformers robot with a modular body part system that allows them to scan objects to access new parts and upgrade their character by installing unlockable pieces. Additionally, players can challenge friends to intense, head-to-head battles through local wireless multiplayer in Deathmatch mode.

The PSP version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen takes players on an action-packed journey that combines rail levels, visceral melee strikes and projectile combat through a storyline inspired by the epic film. Players can test their battle skills in Arena Mode as they pick their favorite characters and fight alongside their friends arcade-style against increasing waves of enemies, and replay missions from the campaign again and again to maintain the highest scores.
