If you are looking for something to play

Filed under: Uncategorized

Welcome once again on my small website! I would like make topic different for a little bit and write some about games on mobile hardware which are called smartphones. Listed today titles are also in large part playable on tablets. From my point of view, it’s good to be aware of existence of specific gaming titles, especially if you recently purchased one of the mentioned devices. Anyway here are games, which is really hard to find. It’s mainly because during their premiere focus of the gaming community was in different place.

Fruit Ninja THD
Well, it’s quite old, even purchased by me long time ago Fruit Ninja, but with much better than in earlier version visuals, animations, physics and textures and also extra playing mode. Anyway, our main task in the game is cutting up all fruits that are displaying up on the screen, while avoiding in any way bombs. It’s really simple game, where we cut ever fruit using touchpad and make finger act like sword.

Doodle Jump
One of the simplest games ever developed, where you don’t have to use any buttons in order to play. Anyway, in Doodle Jump you are moving with your Doodler back and forth by simply moving the device, in the same time evading different traps and climbing higher and higher. Do not be taken down by visuals – this game is completely addicting as these high-budget titles which you are playing on your X360 or PS3 with your pals. But just Doodle Jump you can get on your memory storage for few bucks and be able to play in every place available.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing – it’s game specifically created for iPhones and it has been valued for eight to ten dollars. Because of its specific I just had to write about it. It’s something which we can even name “Sonic Mario Kart”. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing has just huge amount of various racing tracks based on such games similar Samba De Amigo or House of the Dead.

Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance (N.O.V.A)
Great first person shooter on Android made by people from Gameloft. You may be aware of this fact or not but it’s quite difficult do find some good and high quality FPS on Android. Because of that N.O.V.A. made me really curious about overall quality of the title and how good game it will be. It’s good to know before downloading it, that it’s really similar to HALO from Xbox. Anyway, while playing we are walking through such maps as winter or jungle. Graphically game is presenting really fantastic - N.O.V.A is being rendered in total 3D with really huge locations. HUD itself is looking just marvelous. I think it’s one of the best looking titles which you can get on Android, for real.
StarFront: Collision – game made by Gameloft and purchasable for 3 to 5 dollars on two most popular mobile operating systems. StarFront is just magnificent RTS, where we have three races battling against each other. Every of them have land and air units used for pure destruction. Visual side of the game looks just splendid on iPhones or even iPad and I haven’t any complaints.

Samurai II: Vengeance
One of the more brilliant gaming apps that we can get on our tablets is Samurai II Vengeance made by developers from Madfinger Games studio. Because this game runs on really popular mobile engine Unity3D and has really outstanding (for a mobile device) looking comic 3D graphics. Other features include RPG elements like possibility of upgrading power of your samurai like his hit points, some totally new fighting styles and making them stronger.
Boss – game purchasable for just one dollar – its main idea is being a large, unbeatable monster. And as this monster, which we are able to customize, we are walking and destroying medieval kingdoms, which belong to brave and fabulous knights. In Boss you will find different RPG elements, whereas the game goes we can make our monster much stronger. Of course along with our development and other stages, castle defenders have more and more tactics and are more effective when trying to kill us.

Online strategy games like Allegiance

Filed under: Conan


Welcome! At last, after a few months of public beta testing, Microsoft’s Allegiance has hit the retail shelves. The title marks the first publishing from their in-house development team, Microsoft Research Games. We predicted that this game had a lot of potential to break boundaries and provide an amazing multiplayer experience like for free online strategy games. So, now that Allegiance is here, does it live up to the expectations? As earlier, read on to discover!

Freespace greets Tribes meets Homeworld. This is still the greatest short answer I can give to those who ask what Allegiance is. Rather I should clarify in better detail.

Graphically, Allegiance is decent like for other free online strategy games. The visuals, which resemble a made easier, sterilized version of StarLancer, are consistent enough to suspend your disbelief and carry the title. They are especially nice, however, when you have to think about the online nature of Allegiance.

But still, there is some of a bit to like about Allegiance. It’s complex, involving, and rewarding. It offers a wealth of various play styles to fit the tastes of space jockeys and strategy grognards alike. More than anything, it’s just extremely nice to play a part in a massive, real time strategy epic in which everything, save for the miners and constructors, is controlled by existing people for best online strategy games.

Each team has a commander who oversees the collecting of goods, and the use of those resources for expanding their territories and technologies. It is also the commander’s duty to give to the pilots with strategic guidance.

The game plays out entirely like in other best online strategy games. There are two sides to every combat, two teams that vie for get reign over the map, which is broken down into sectors related to each other by wormhole like "Alephs."

Although a pilot can use basic, common types of craft without needing cash, purchasing more exotic ships requires cash, which is handed out to you at the whim of your superiors. So if you are the type who never follows your commands, you aren’t going to get anywhere.

The depth of the flight model does lead to one of the major problems with Allegiance: the combat itself it pretty underwhelming. Your guns fire too quick and shield hit and damage effects are hard to see, making it rather hard to tell if you are hitting your target.

You also aren’t likely to get anywhere if you get close to Allegiance selfishly. One craft alone cannot do very much. Even the destroying everything capital ships need escorts if they are to reach their targets, blow up them, and survive in free online strategy games.

There are some other concerns. After being destroyed to pieces, you eject into a life-pod. Although you can call for rescue, it’s more likely that you will have to go to the closest station and get a new craft.

The gameplay complexity in Allegiance is amazing for other free online strategy games. There are more keyboard commands and options than in any other space-struggle game out there. Turning and maneuvering is a more involved affair due to angle of strike and momentum effects.

Like all real-time strategy games, losing a building that produces a unique type of ship means you can’t own that ship anymore. Allow your foe to retain the skill to produce capital ships and you very well may have a crisis on your hands.

Something new - Warhammer Invasion

Filed under: Conan

Hey guys, today something rare. I will share you about fantastic card-board game called Warhammer Invasion. It’s a Living Card Game, so it’s some kind of synthesis cards and board stuff. I bought this game approximately year ago and I have to tell you, that I enjoy it greatly.

Old World are splendid, marvelous kingdoms, epic expeditions and tough battles in eternal conflict between Order and Destruction. Ancient games strategy rpg enemies are battling between themselves in outstanding battles on full of blood battlefield, where every of races is trying to take over the ruling over the whole world.

Overall strength of your Quest zone is saying about number of drawn cards in every turn. You have to be prepared, because number of cards in your deck is limited and if you there is no cards available do draw, you are finished. From the Battlefield you are able to battle your enemy. Every icon of strength is able to invade with more power to the enemy’s units and Capital, while giving chance to attack download free strategy games back with the same power your Battlefield zone.

Every of these zones is fundamental, but you are obligated to take action, which of them is most valuable and where you want to gather up your forces. Are you going to concentrate resources in order to become tougher than your enemy? Or maybe send your army onto the mission? Maybe you will collect up your mightiest warriors and war machines, to get control over your enemy on the battlefield? These are key decisions for the future of your empire. Be careful while saying a word and you will get a winning prize. Every race and their online strategy games combination is a doze of plenty strategies. Worthy leader will reveal them all.

In the center of the map is placed Capital. It’s mighty fortress represented by your board, where are weighing destiny of your army and buildings. Is divided into three zones. Kingdom, Battlefield and Quest. Kingdom area is speaking about the gathered resources in your vault. Every placed here icon of power, is creating overall profit, which will give you opportunity to deploy tougher units and greater buildings.

Game had published two full expansions and couple of battlepacks to it, although I didn’t obtained them yet. Why? Because it’s still magnificent to strategy flash games play with my mates using the same cards. And we are playing a several times per week, so there is no outstanding need. We will buy later these expansions so no worries.
Personally, I just extremely enjoy playing Dwarfs and Empire. Dwarfs in this Living Card Game and just pretty same like in other Warhammer. They are some-what defensive race and it’s hard to invade enemy in the same scale and that quickly as Orcs. Empire is just fascinating, actually because they have numerous of Tactic cards, which means that they are able to have fun with the enemy in a interesting way. Chaos? Download free strategy games Chaos is actually not that strong in basic version of game without expansions.

Every conflict begins with making own empire. Your Capital is done, and units and building are beginning to show up in your kingdom. Unit and Support cards are able help you in one of your three zones. You will be able to make advantage them, if you will pay for them.

Age of Conan Rise of the Godslayer!

Filed under: Conan

As you probably already know, we are very close to premiere of latest expansion for our great game Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures! The expansion will be called Rise of the Godslayer and is very interesting aditional content for this splendid game. What is kinda weird in this expansion there is no level cap raising or additional classes, but there is a lot of various content related! All new land is available for us! In Rise of the Godslayer we can visit orient, sometimes like Asia looking land with powerful new mobs and great areas to conquest! Now Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will be larger, bigger and more interesting! (Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer presentation) I must admit, playing to much in games, especially in MMORPG can really beat you down. I’m currently out of subscription in Age of Conan and I don’t think I come back soon to this game, not because it’s boring but mostly because I don’t have much time for gaming. I need a break and definitly work less you know. Still MMORPG games are my favorite games. I just love to play, recieve experience points, evolve character and develop someone really powerful. I don’t know why, maybe it’s my way off life? I was on party yestarday but I didn’t feel anything great. Games are better then stupid parties, with stupid people all around ;p

 Uff ok Im must go now, need to eat something or I will die …damn I’m so hungry I can eat even food from Mc donald or something ;) Or even in KFC or something like that. I don’t like to sit down at home and be hungry or something like that. I like to hang around with my friends and visit new places. Ehhh I hope i got something to eat you know…I don’t remember exactly when I was on shopping or something like that.

Game has really high requirements and to play you need better computer then in this specification. You need at least 4 GB RAM, around 3 GHz processor and powerful Video Card.

In other hand Funcom create fantastic graphic engine, with astonishing light effects and beautiful dangerous world of Hyboria (on DirectX 10 and 24” widescreen monitor it’s…you just must to check it out!)

This upcoming MMORPG is one of the most important games in production and is being developed by Mythic Entertainment (now it’s part of Electronic Arts – EA > EA Mythic). This company is known after other MMORPG, Dark Age of Camelot – one of the best Player-vs-player combat I ever seen, that’s why I’m so excited!

Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures

Filed under: Conan

 

Age of Conan premiere was some time ago, but this great game is one of the most popular mmo titles. It’s really weird that this good game is losing players because of bugs. AoC is still unfinished game and players are sometimes very angry because of frustration and bugs. Game is really awesome but producers need to work more harder under quality on this game. Age of Conan has very interesting PvP mode but in my opinion in need some changes because Warhammer Online has better scenarios and PvP thingies.

Also i heard that Age of Conan has lots of places very boring, designed only for grinding and stuff like that. Every player can say a lot about great graphics, music but also everyone is complaining about bugs and stuff like that. Dear Funcom, please work more.

It’s quite sure that Age of Conan will be  released soon in South Korea. Funcom’s partner in bussiness, known Neowiz publisher will release King Conan’s wrath on all South Korea! Neowiz also plans to offer complete localization and support to all players, as well as all the same content updates the US and EU players get, to the Korean audience. I don’t know do Korean people know Conan and Robert E. Howard book? I other hand I’m sure that they know Arnold Schwarzenegger…

It’s hard to tell about release date because date “has not yet been finalized”, so we must stay patient. I think it’s very good idea to release Age of Conan in Korea, main bastion of online gaming and gamers. Korean market loves online games so, Age of Conan should beat few selling records. Anyway time will tell, life can be sometimes very unpredictable. Funcom is on the edge of a knife so they really need more many from Age of Conan project or they will close this project which will be terrible news..

What can I say more? I think Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures is really hot game but i don’t know how they want to promote this R rated MMORPG? World of Warcraft has been designed as game for all, for kids, for mature player. What about games for adults? Well we shall see how Age of Conan will beat other titles ;)

Premiere is coming…

Filed under: Conan

Welcome on my weblog! Today more information about Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Day after day we know more about upcoming Age of Conan. This game bring will bring us great opportunity to become evil and savage barbarian in world of Hybornia. Producers and all guys from Funcom are saying all the time about game brutality and really dark atmosphere of the game, and I must admit that game will be really brutal. After beta testing and seeing lots of movies about this game, I can say YES this game is brutal. But is it brutal like, Hostel or another gore movie?

No. And its something different. Its really strange for me, that people In USA are against sex scenes in movies but if someone create something like Hostel, everything is ok ..Weird..or maybe Im weird..Anyway USA is very specific country so I really don’t want to analyze that now..

Let’s talk about game. Game premiere will be exactly – 20th may so we’ve got one month and we will witness premiere of biggest hit in this year. Warhammer Online or World of Warcraft expansion- Wrath of the Lich King are under beta testing so, Age of Conan can really beat everyone and everything :-)

I’m little bit tired I’m I looking for more stuff to do you know, anyway as a player i think sometimes is good to just leave alone games and do something else you know. Something far more interesting like bike or do some gym. Anyway I think it’s best to use life somewhere else then on computer. MMO games can really suck a lot of your time and leave you with nothing more then bad mood. Playing is alright but only from time to time you know. Same are maybe good but only if you play for a very small period of time.

Conan - main hero

Filed under: Conan

Conan is very powerful warrior and most powerful man in his world - world of Hyboria. He was born in the village in the far north. Conans father was a blacksmith and in this world it was very noble role - he knows secrets of steel. Conan was born on the battlefield - his mother wanted to fight amongs other villagers with barbaric horde of Stygians - very strong and independent women anyway - like other in this brutal world.

In Age of Conan women will be like in book, strong, independent and tough - so its not weak sex…when babe cut of your head, don’t be surprised!

Anyway if you want to take a look on babes in Age of Conan, just visit youtube and find character creation. I never seen so much life in  boobs …!

My blog is about popular game, Age of Conan - this game is being produced right now in Norwegian studios of Funcom company.

This game is very interesting with very advanced combat system and very good, audio-video effects ( you can see videos on youtube - i can’t show you here because of blog script :| ) anyway this game will be only playable online, and if you are playing you must pay for every month. Its hard do tell how much this will costs but we can say that, should be around 15$ -20$ (World of Warcraft pay is 14.99$ per month).

Game producers are guys from other popular game - Anarchy Online, and in some way game will be little similar to Age of Conan.

Conan is popular character

Filed under: Conan

Welcome! As you probably already know, from book by Robert E. Howard. |Conan is strong powerful, brave, with gigantic muscles. He was bring to live be Robert in late 30s in XX century (lol). Robert died as a very young man, which is sad because he created not only Conan but also Salomon Kane or other great fantasy characters. Almost every main hero from Howard’s books is very strong and powerful warrior, Salomone Kane is religious fanatic who is fighting against corruption and evil in XVII century ( fantastic character ) and Conan…you know him well - he was from mythic land of Cimmeria where he was born. His father was a blacksmith, he was very massively built ( around 7 ft of high ) and his mother was a brave women who gave him birth during a battle. Awesome! When Conan was 15, he fight for the first time with Stygian’s barbarian horde.

This will be writing here on guide how in easy way earn some gold in Age of Conan. Tips and trick and everything what is connected to this topic. I’m MMORPG genre, most valuable thing is TIME, so to don’t waste time i will create blog about gold! Now we must wait for game premiere but after premiere i will give you some info.

Age of Conan is game from Funcom company from Norway ( or something like that ) they have successful game in their history – Anarchy Online. Anarchy Online was very popular game, and lots of in-game things in Age of Conan.

If you are looking for good games, you can try out other MMORPG, my favorite is also World of Warcraft, one of the best MMO RPG available on the market. Of course this game maybe isn’t to quality game but it’s still very good title so check it out your know…

If you are looking for other things, check out more about Lord of the Rings Online: Shadow of Angmar.

See you

Hi mates

Filed under: Conan

Greetings! As you probably already know, Age of Conan game is one of the newest and most interesting upcoming MMORPG. Game is based on Conan, most popular fictional character in the genre of heroic fantasy literature. Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures is upcoming massively multiplayer online role playing game, designed by Funcom, company who created Anarchy Online – another successful MMORPG. As I said before game is based on fantasy world created by Robert E. Howard in “Hour of the Dragon”, where appears, for the first time, Conan, adventurer and barbarian warrior from Cimmeria.

Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures Reviews

Publication Score

Edge 7 out of 10

GameSpy 4/5

GameZone 9.4/10

GameSpot 8.5/10

G4 4/5

Game Informer 8/10

Reviews was ok, but there are problems with bugs. Few magazines or internet website don’t even test Age of Conan, because in their opinion, Age of Conan is still unfinished game. Funcom is still small company maybe with experience but now to create superb MMORPG (like Anarchy Online before), Like in other MMORPG games, there is a monthly subscription fee for Age of Conan ($29.99= €19.28) for two months or for one month ($14.99=€9.63). I think Funcom has idea and crew but they are just to poor to finish this game fast. Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures is still very nice game you know, but this game need more attention and work.

We are all waiting for AoC, but who know how many players will pick, this MMO and enter Hyboria. In my opinion game has devastating potential. With advanced graphic engine (in other hand we need powerful computer to run this game), cool world of Robert E. Howard, awesome game play and other stuff, can be one of the best game in this genre…Don’t forget! Game is only for people around 18 years old! Age of Conan is only for mature players!

If you are testing all kind of MMORPG lately you should check out also Lord of the Rings Online: Shadow of Angmar it’s another very interesting game!

See you again!
