White Knight Chronicles

posted in NEWS, VIDEO | Leave a Comment

Lately i was surfing the net, and came up on this title…
I was looking for a simple rpg to play while lying on the sofa, on the tv screen just for relaxing during those evening when you are not going to exit with friends..
Decided to investigate, i read some reviews around the web, and the opinions are really different there are guys who sunk this game, others who found this game brilliant. Well you know for me giant turtle monster with a city on their back does some eye-candy effect. Keep digging i found out this game has an online co-operative component too..

Called Georama, here follows the details: this system is an online mode that lets the player create their own town. It can function as lobby and allows to set up a shop. People can enter this virtual town and also take a look around. The editing mode functions as a system that can be placed from a list of objects ranging from houses and other garden accessories to anything customizable for the town. Towns can be placed in the middle of plains, deserts, or wilderness. There are six different field types. Other items can also help to shape the hub, e.g. elevated platforms, embankments, trees, and other items.Non-player characters can be recruited to towns from Story Mode. This makes the player’s Georama change depending on whoever living in it. Non-player characters have jobs and specific skill levels, which will affect the kind of materials and items available to use in Georama. Each player has their own Geonet that can create up to 20 Georama rooms. A maximum of 12 people can visit a customized town and 4 including the host can enter a quest room. With the use of the Georama system, there are multiplayer quests called sub-quests where you can clear with up to 4 other players including the player him or herself. For this, you use your own created Avatar and control it instead of using the Main Story character, Leonard. Your Avatar’s level and equipment will be the same as your Avatar in the story mode. More quests will become available throughout the progress of your story. You will unlock more quests as your guild rank increase while you accumulate points. You can also play these quests by yourself as well.

So an easy to pick-up hack and slash with an offline story mode and a nice online component, sometimes it’s nice just to start a party and play just for fun and relaxing..
This game could be a real surprise.. and you what do you think?

Silkroad Online goes to Alexandria

This was one of the first FREE mmo i ‘ve played, it was nice and laggish cause overcrowded, but overall it was much enjoyable, to be honest i would have never thought this game made it so far..
At the time the content wasn’t much, but year after year they kept adding many new zones, levels and contents.. now the game is pretty good and i am pretty sure the Silk Road is not completed yet..

Aika closed beta test 2

Aika is a truly monumental game from Gala-Net, publishers of Flyff and Rappelz, and JoyImpact, developer of Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent (published by Atlus Online in the US). Designed to re-imagine the “massively” in MMORPG, Aika presents three major PvP modes which run the gamut from small skirmishes to 1000 vs. 1000 warfare. This comprehensive PvP system is unique among current MMORPGs for its gigantic scope, and it is this element – along with a fantastically detailed world and sweeping storyline – which has earned the game many enthusiastic reviews for its quality of play.

World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare. Throw yourself into the epic tank battles of World War II with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy.

A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrade and development allows you to try any of the vehicles and weapons in the game. Whether you prefer to exhaust your foes with fast and maneuverable light tanks, make deep breaches in enemy lines with all-purpose medium tanks, use the force of giant tanks to eliminate opposing armored forces, or become a heavy sniper with long-range howitzers, each unit type has its own advantages and can be extremely effective when operated by a true tank ace.

But being a great tank commander alone isn’t enough to win! In the World of Tanks, it’s all about teamwork. Victory is achieved by combining your combat skills with those of the other members of your team, each playing their own role on the battlefield. Just add your favorite strategy to build your own iron empire and manifest the indisputable authority of the tank!
