Review of Altitude (PC)

Altitude, 2 dimensional shooter produced by Nimbly Games. It's a refreshing display of what the new shooter generation is like. Only this time, it's too addicting to forget.

All nice and cute, this game turns rapidly into a monstrous deathmatch or free for all in the middle of a radioactive factory map. You get this part for $2. The aerial fighting is very arcade, but you can lose speed and stall rapidly if you don't accelerate enough in an uphill, which can be problematic if you were in the middle of a shootout while holding a bomb in the middle of enemy territory. $1 for that. Ever heard of Call of Duty? Well, the perk system is in this game too and can give every plane a special style in combat and different resistances or weaknesses. 1 more buck. Multiplayer with many servers and tons of options. How about $2 for that? You can make your own maps and even host a server very easily. $1. A bunch of game modes, a handful of planes, a bunch of different skins. $2 too much? Last of all... There's a demo, and it's indie. 1$.

Add it up, yep $10 for a really nice, indie with a great graphic style. I think you should definitely try the demo before you play the game which can be downloaded at their website: http://altitudegame.com/ <--- (Clicky) , you're welcome. If you like it, (which i'm sure you will) keep playing. If you love it, take out your credit card.

Have a nice day and... HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!1!!1!
Now, get shootin' would 'ya?

First Looks: Greed Corp (PC)

"Once upon a time, in a land of milk and honey"

Greed corp is a Turn-Based Strategy game from W!Games with a nice artistic style and a small twist on things.

You can choose 1 of 4 factions, all with very different storylines and campaign modes. Using Walkers, cannons, carriers and a good strategy, you can lead your nation to victory. The main plot is simple, you are in a beautiful world in the skies, building civilizations on small islands. After a long time of peace, the world starts to quake, islands fall to the abyss under the clouds. You must lead your faction and control what is left of the land while preventing your own from sinking to ensure your nation's survival.

When you start the game, you are presented a map with hexagonal islands and a few walkers. You can use the walkers to control more terrain and destroy the opponent's walkers as well as capturing buildings. You can build an armory to produce more walkers. Here is the thing though, the islands you are building on, can be destroyed rapidly. The terrain has different layers of land that can be used strategically to dominate the battlefield. Harvesters can bring you great amounts of resources, to the cost of sinking your whole domain or even your opponent's. The terrains divide into different parts to a point where you need to use carriers to invade the opponent's islands to jump over the gaps. And that's when the interesting part begins. Filled with explosions and strategy, good graphics and a solid concept. It's worth the money and... it's indie!

Have a look!

Check this out! Wakfu beta

I know I know! I'm late on my posts! I had a pretty busy week and I only got back very late so I couldn't post.
I was about to make a review for another spaceship game but I'm gonna take a different style of game this time.

So, many of you might know Dofus, an MMORPG where you take on the role of an adventurer that belongs to 1 of the 12 different classes. You explore, run around killing fantasy animals from cute to monstrous. Wakfu is the sequel. Situated 1000 years after the Dofus age, a giant ogre conquers the whole world. A massive part of the world of Dofus is submerged in water because of him. And the 12 gods have summoned you to take back the 6 Dofus eggs that can grant the owner any wish.

The gameplay is great and the graphics are amazing. This game is still in beta but you can register now and take part when it opens. There already have been tons of open betas but they were all very glitchy. They changed most of the things halfway through the making of the game but they are progressing really well on the game.

Check that out and take also a look at Dofus.

Review of Flotilla

Flotilla...
Flotilla is a very interesting game. You get to control a bunch of starships in a 3d environment where special maneuvers, tactics and strategies rule the game. The top of the ship and the front has strong armor, making the gameplay even more interesting. A strong point in this game is its adventure mode. Lemme tell ya 'bout it!

The adventure mode is funny, nicely done, and is in a style close to the "Choose your own adventure". You start with 7 months left to live and you travel from star to star in the galaxy, gaining cargo, fighting cruisers and becoming a karaoke champ. The music is random but somehow fits the game in its own way in the destruction of the ships in the vast, cold depths of space.

Anyways I think you should play it. There isn't much content but it's an interesting game with a nice twist on things.

Review of Trackmania United Forever

Trackmania... I think this one is pretty much one of the best racing games... ever...

I mean seriously, you might wish you were still a small kid, playing with your toy cars, going through tunnels and jumping off impossible cliffs all the while sliding on ice and passing over houses and hills. From countryside racing  in the sunrise to skidding in the streets of a massive sky-scraper-filled city at night, from realistic, heavy cars to a crazy, 500 km/hour beach race. This game HAS IT ALL!!!1! You can race on 7 different environments where the cars all act completely differently in a totally different landscape. This game is also expected to live for a LONG time since you can create your own tracks through a massive range of objects and roads, decorations and buildings.

^^ Bay, this is urban life baby! These cars are quick and adherent which can lead to very fast tracks while keeping a really nice turning speed.
In this game there is everything you need to keep you hooked for at least a whole year. The never ending, user-created content runs your envy for more driving. You can also make movies directly from the game. You record a ghost car that you will drive, modify the camera, put shaking, text and effects, smooth travelings through your favorite race and BAM! There you go, an epic racing movie.

You also have a stunt mode, where you need to use jumps and other objects like a simple ramp or rock to create insane barrel rolls for points. Obviously, this has multiplayer and an AMAZING COMMUNITY! There are many dedicated people who make tons of videos and great tracks. They even make modes that can modify the environment completely, without mentioning the customizable cars and 3D models you can make. For the cherry on top, there is even AN INTERNAL BROWSER! You can go onto these mini websites called "Manialinks" and buy things with money (coppers) that you get from playing every day to buy maps and new cool cars.

BAH! Screw those ratings! Im outta here! Gotta clean my wheels before the race! ;)
