5/5 on special effects, and plausibility

2/5 on some Character development, and character interaction writing.

Comment:  Why spend all that time/money on special effects, yet not have more working done on the writing.

This is a great way to start playing, it gives you 7 summoners a few skins and some beginning boost.

Don't get me wrong it's fun, challenging but fun. Unfortunately there's only 4 worlds. I got it in the mail today and just beat a few minutes ago. There's a lot of references to the show (it was fun to shoot at the Solid Bold cassette), the bosses are a bit tough but trial and error gets you through. There's multiple modes of play that you can switch between at key times. Platformer, spaceship, and top down. You play as Mordecai and Rigby, switching between them freely. I'd give it a better rating if there was more game to play, but it's a case of make it more challenging so it'll take longer.

I got the Chaos ability about 4 times in one turn, thanks to one of those being an 'untap all lands you control.' I had Vorenclex on the field, doubling my produced Mana, and just flooded with rolls. xD

I haven't started playing "Far Cry 4" yet because I'm currently in the middle of "Far Cry 2." But I've browsed it and like what I see. I'm sure it'll help me out when I get stuck during "Far Cry 4" play.

Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter Nights The Entire Collection, has a 8 different games to play.  Four are in the first level of graphics, but are a lot of fun to play.  The second four are in the second a level of graphics (3D) and are fun but quit different than the first set.  The hardest part is typing in all the serial numbers at instillation time, but it only has to be done once. Has fun exploring realms of Neverwinter Nights!  I had copies of some of the modules before and like them, this give me the ones I was missing, which is great!

I enjoyed the first & ( I think), fourth story, but then the rest of the book didn't load up. :(

WoW's Burning Crusade expansion brings in 2 new races one new planet and a host of new quests and dungeons to explore.  Like the earlier World of Warcraft it is remarkably stable for an MMORPG 99% of the stuff works on the first try I only found one bugged quest so far.

The reason for not giving the more then 4 stars is in the quest system.  Most players I have spoken with have grown tired of the bring me 15 rings from the tribe of the moon type quests.  You go out and find that only 1 in 10 Moonies  have a ring.  Low drop rate quests are boring discourage group play and all to frequent in these on line games.

I had some trouble getting started on a Windows 7 computer with an i5 processor. At first I thought the problem was W7, but it turns out that F3 does not work well with more than 2 cores. Here is the fix:

Open up the fallout.ini file in: My Documents\My Games\Fallout3
Find the line:

bUseThreadedAI=0

change it to:

bUseThreadedAI=1

Add another line after it and insert:

iNumHWThreads=2

This worked for me.

I'm only getting started but the game is beautiful so far ... it's amazing to be IN the vault, rather than viewing it from the top down.

Puzzle Quest
By: Vicious Cycle Software
Published by: D3 Publisher of America
System: PlayStation Portable - PSP

The story intro (taken from the instruction book):
Enter the world of Etheria, a mythical land quickly becoming overrun with evil. You must help protect the kingdom of Bartonia from the undead invasion and seek out the source of these vile creatures to ensure the safety of your countrymen.

Story: 2.5/5
The world of Etheria is a large place filled with many cities, ruins and monsters. You can choose from four different classes and this will alter the story a bit. The classes that you can choose from are Druid - a master of nature magic (Healing and status boost). I picked this one for my first time through and liked it a lot. Knight - good with swords and shields. Warrior - Great with axes! Then the Wizard - great offensive spells used later in the game, poor hit points to start with, so choosing this one as your first choice might be a mistake and ruin the game for you.

Sound: 2/5
The sound was Ok, although not much to remember.

Graphics: 2.5/5
The graphics were ok, for a puzzle game.

Gameplay: 4.5/5
Your home city is Bartonia; here you will have access to your Citadel, the ability to get quests, access the local tavern for rumors, visit the shop to outfit your hero with some new equipment and access your hero's inventory. Where the game truly shines is in the gameplay. You move on a point-to-point, top down world. Then you battle a monster, overlord, or "thing" on a puzzle grid. The object is to match up at least 4 of the same colors, up/down and left/right. By doing that, you could afflict damage to your opponent. You also have spells and special moves that affect yours or your opponent's status. By playing well you will gain EXP that will level you up and give you access to better spells and special attacks. You can also be awarded armor and weapons at the end of a battle.

After a while, you will be given a Citadel that you can build up with the money that you acquired. By doing so, you will gain access to a dungeon that will hold monsters and enemies that you capture on the battlefield. With the addition of a mage tower you can try to learn some very useful spells from the monsters in your dungeon. The stable will allow you to capture and train mounts like giant spiders and griffons, and wolves. A forge will let you use runes that you find on the battlefield to make useful items. The siege shop allows you to lay siege to cities, so that you can earn more money to build up your citadel. The temple is a place where you can donate funds to increase your base status points. Towers will decrease the odds that a conquered city will revolt against you.  The vault will increase the tribute the conquered cities will pay to you. The statues will gain you the title of king or queen and a one-time morale boost. So much to do so little time!

Replay Value: 4/5
The replay value for this game is very high because with the choice of four different classes to start with and all the choices you make throughout the game affects the story and the final outcome of the game. Also, the puzzle game addictiveness level is super high with this game.

Overall: 3.5/5
Overall this was a very good and solid game. This game was easy to play and ultra tough to master. I really liked this game. I recommend this game for all puzzle fans, also some hardcore fantasy fans that are looking for a new challenge.

I give this game about 4.2. Its hard at first and then gets to be a bit fun to play.

I had to chime in with a slightly different opinion. In our first try with the game, it took us almost 3 hours to go from setup, instruction, and playthrough. If you've watched playthroughs and reviews, you'll probably have an easier go of it.

I like that there is more than one way to win the game. It doesn't really foster cooperation, but as other players start to close off avenues for resources, all hope is not lost. There are also some inventive mechanics that ensure that more is not always better (i.e. too many workers can hurt as much as not having enough.)

My gripes with the game lie mainly in the design. Each player is given a color, but there are factions (we kept referring to them as "races" though that's not accurate) with similar color schemes on the board. The two do not have any correlation, but it sometimes confused me and where I should focus or what I could do in my turn. Other elements of the layout tended to have us losing track of this or that element that probably should have been moved/adjusted to reflect the state of the game but wasn't.

The one thing that I was kind of missing was any kind of fun element. There's something about the game that feels dry, and I know that it's a "dystopian" game but games should generally be fun and this just felt too sterile an experience.

I've updated my review. After playing up too the Goron Caverns, I was stuck. the only way I progressed was by incidentally visiting a hint stone in the citadel in the village. Not the best design. But I've given it another chance after early frustrations. It's pretty fun at points, I haven't now finished it, but will update once I do.

If the Paizo Paths are to your liking and the sandbox element is what you dig :) then this might be excellent for you. With each book comes another gimmick to keep the campaign alive. Mass combat, kingdom building and other fun stuff.

That said we skipped out pretty early on the kingdom building since it got a bit tedious, get ready to finess it up a bit to make it more fun.

I'm having a lot of run with the new SimCity. It seems well executed, with lots of depth to the city and region building. The ability to take over failed cities was especially cool to me, I like running around online, picking up broken cities and fixing them.

The launch was a bit rough, almost entirely performance related. I don't fault EA for this, since the game is very strong otherwise, with good mechanics and only one known bug (traffic issues) that is actively being fixed. Following from this of course, this game is in significantly better shape than the other notable RPG's rough launch (that shall remain unnamed), which has broken mechanics, no end-game and severe itemization problems to this date.

(minus one star for not working the day I bought it)

So - if you like SimCity, you should get this anyway and not listen to the uproar about performance problems, since the game is quite playable as of now.

A warning though....It's ridiculously addictive. I've started playing this at 9 PM several nights and it's been midnight before I knew it. o_O
