[Review] Anmesia: The Dark Descent

At a time where horror-survival games supply you with a weapon to comfort your grim journey, Amnesia offers only degrees of discomfort and tension.You play as Daniel, whom wakes up in a castle with, you guessed it, amnesia. Your mission seems simple enough; descend into the castles Inner Sanctum and kill the baron Alexander. Sounds easy, right? As players descend into the Inner Sanctum, they will need to solve puzzles while trying to avoid monsters. Players acquire a lantern (which needs to be refilled with oil) and plenty of tinderboxes to light unlit light sources. Amnesia tells its story through series of audio flashbacks and notes which are scattered throughout Castle Brennenburg. The audio flashbacks depict Alexander taking Daniel on...

Guide - PKing in RS [F2P]

PKing in F2P So you want to know how to PK? Of course you do, that's why you're here. Ok so the first thing i'm going to talk about is stats. It all depends on what kind of PKer you wish to be. My opinion, stick with either a strength pure or range/2h hybrid. DON'T get defense unless you're hitting up 85+ cb's. Ok so the stats you're after are as follows. Range/2h   -   78 Range / 75 Strength / 40 Attack / 49 HP / Mage 31 / CB 52   -   91 Range / 95 Strength / 40 Attack / 65 HP / Mage 85 / CB 60 Strength Pure   -   95 Strength / 65 HP / CB 60 / Prayer (Optional) 31 Now you're probably thinking that those stats are practically impossible to reach.If you're F2P, then you're right....

[Review] BulletStorm.

Bulletstorm shows us the true power of the Unreal engine, with its focus on skillshots. The more insane the kill, the more points you get. The more points you get, the more weapons you can unlock. The more weapons you unlock, the more skillshots you unlock. The more skillshots you unlock, the more fun we unlock. And more fun makes us happy, right? The gameplay is very fast paced, and may very well be overwhelming at some points. This game is unique in the way that it is focused around skillshots and the accumulation of points to further better your arsenal of weaponry. The sheer high you get when mowing down wave after wave of enemies feels well, great to put it simply. Don't get me wrong, its not a game where you can literally just run through,...

Diablo III

In my opinion, this game will beat everything Blizzard has ever made. Yes, that includes SC II and WoW. Diablo III is THE game for all click-hungry gamers. Period. You play, you kill, you move on. You come to a boss, you take what you think is an eternity to kill it, you realise that it was just one of the many buffed up dudes that you should quickly expect to see many times throughout the game. The actual bosses though, well I don't know about you, but they look like the funnest things to be killing when your with a few mates. Take a look at this vid, you'll see what I mean. ...

Crysis 2

Possibly the best up-and-coming FPS to date, Crysis 2 is set to hit the shelves on the 22nd of March this year. Crysis 2 is set in New York City, a change from the usual tropic scenes used by Crytek, in the year 2023. The game is an intense one, being set in an all new 'urban jungle', and the new and improved suit functionality gives you all the more choices on how you wish to play. Do you want to sneak around, taking opponents out one by one? Or maybe not even touch them. Or maybe you want to go out all guns blazing? Either way, the choice is yours. The urban landscape allows players to navigate through floors and buildings, aswell as wrecked cityscape. You play as a Force Recon Marine by the name of "Alcatraz", the successor to "Nomad"...

First post EVARR!

Ok, so i'm starting a new games blog and of course, everyone has to start somewhere. So, what's the first thing that popped into my head? One of the most loved and hated games on the internet, and this is what i'm going to be talking about. RuneScape. Yes, you heard me. RuneScape. Now I only play this game for the PvP side of it. I think it's great. I mean sure, it's not the best game around, and every game has its flaws, but the feeling you get when you prove yourself better then someone else is unmatched. And that feeling is something I get very, very often. This is on F2P of course. I'm absolutely terrible at P2P PKing, as good as the rewards might be. Almost every fight i've been in, i've come out of it better off, with at least 2 rows of food left, sometimes even a full inventory. Out...
