Pillars of Eternity 2 follows on from the first one. You are the Watcher and yet again have been called upon. This game is a more polished one from the first game, If you have the first game you can import your save file which will determine certain events in this game which i thought was a good starting point. The Storytelling is great the voice acting is great the overall setting of the game is well done. Different factions, Different people to deal with and a big problem to investigate.


The timeline of the quests appears to be chaotic with strange interrelation between main&secondary quests Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a fantastic homage to the first game

So Baldurs Gate 2 starts near enough where 1 finished and you find yourself in abit of a bind,

he original plot remains impressive, telling the continuing Bhaalspawn saga about the protagonist coming to terms with his or her identity as the offspring of the dead god of murder. Script and story are much more mature than what was presented in the first Baldur's Gate. Even the main villain, a dead-faced sadistic monster named Jon Irenicus, whom you are first introduced to during torture sessions in his dungeon, is more memorably evil than the previous game's more prototypical baddie, Sarevok. Compared to the original the second is a bit darker than the first with the expansion the Throne of Baal leading you straight to Hell,

This second version of Baldurs Gate is as i say a bit darker, NPCs will cross you and even double cross you so i felt i needed to play smarter. All that said, sometimes the game goes too far. The difficulty is artificially ramped up, and the game's reach exceeds its grasp in some aspects of the design. Dungeon levels consist of far too many tiny corridors that present daunting challenges to your party of six adventurers.

experiencing as legendary as Baldur's Gate II is well worth the effort.

Baldur's Gate is still brilliant. I'll say that now is still a great game and one of my faves, it got me into PC Gaming it was my first PC game Fourteen years on, BioWare's first RPG – an isometric, text-heavy epic with sprites for graphics and an almost bewildering 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons ruleset – still provides an expansive and enjoyable experience. I have spent years and hours playing this game and i truly love it.

The story is one of danger, as you find your way from your home after being ambushed, an iron shortage that threatens to flare tensions with neighbouring regions, and a shadowy figure in armour, Assination attempts and bandits roaming the lands.

Combat can be unbalanced at times. and sometimes you have to micromanage your party of adventures just to get themn through battle There are a few bugs. But if you cannot laugh when Minsc shouts, "Go for the eyes, Boo" ombat can be unbalanced at times. If you haven't played this game you should. Because this is where it all began. So Gather your party and go adventuring fourth.

IANS37 RATING: 9/10

Life, as they say, is a journey. Your journey and with Sims 3 you can shoot for the stars or just see your sim mess up at every Turn. You can live out your life digitally that you really wanted. There is plenty to explore and do in the Sims 3. I really liked playing the first sims...so thought the Sims 3 would be a sound investment.

The Sims 3 has many additions to the game
UNIVERSITY - Go to University excel and get good grades...or just go to party's and get drunk
SUPERNATURAL - Supernatural is focused on bringing new life states to the game, and establishes an appropriate setting for these creatures to live in one town with Moonlight Falls. This guide will cover the largest additions for owners of this Expansion Pack.
AMBITIONS - Ambitions is the best expansion pack for Simmers who like to make money. This is a great add on as it brings five new professions, one changed one, and several other ways to make money. The highlights of the the professions. Sims can be a ghost hunter, firefighter, stylist, architect, or private investigator. These pay a weekly stipend and give you money per job.
PETS - If you don't like pets, you won't like this Expansion. Its primary contributions are Cats, Dogs, and Horses. Cats and Dogs
And many many add on and downloadable content

RATING 7/10

So the first Officaily licensed motocross game i was extremely excited for it and i had no doubt i would buy it and like it.

Being a motocross fan since i was a kid i had been waiting for a real good Motocross game and made do with motoracer 3.

LAYOUT

The Overall layout of the game is easy to navigate with a nice menu system to get around the game. You can jump into a quick race or you can do a full season with a choice of which class you want to be in MX2 or the top tier MX1

GRAPHICS

MXGP the Graphics the game looks good The rider and bikes are graphicly well produced and the detail in some of the tracks is really well done and was pleasantly surprised when i started racing around some of the tracks in the MXGP Calander.

GAMEPLAY

The gameplay is as you would expect a racing game and as i touched on earlier you can jump rigfht in to a race from the get go on a random track in a random class but you might have to increase the laps as the standard is 3 laps which in my opinion is not enough so i picked 5 you can pick more but i felt 5 would give me a slightly better chance of doing something (other than crashing into fences!) .The game modes on offer are varied from Quick Race to A full on GP Season where you get to pick your starting team in The MX2 league and depending on your results other well off teams will try and sign you up to them. The races and your opponents are sometimes intense but i felt my biggest gripe with it was the AI in the other riders would just be really aggresive and more often than not crash during the race.

OVERALL

my conclusion to this first try of the Official motocross game is that its a good first try and it kept me entertained and frustrated at the same time and with the over jealous rider AI its a work in progress and it promises alot going forward for the developers

This Years iteration of Football manager is a well known formula, Fans will know what to expect and this years version throws in some added features.


For instance lets take my game Stafford Rangers in level erm not sure I think 7 I have taken them all the way to the premiership and just won my First Europa league and the first in the clubs history. Im tottaly enthralled in the save.

While it may feel like added external pressure to play a certain way, having the Club Vision also acts as guidance to ensure you're on track and not running the risk of losing the board's trust. You can also see the notable highlights and criticisms of your performance as manager, so you know exactly what aspects of your game have been working in your favour, But if things don’t go your way the pressure will soon be on you to turn it around, Players will revolt star players will moan youngsters will want game time. Its all on you.

Overall its an improvement on the series but the same problems still persist..boring press conferences boring press conferences oh and . i said that already match engine needs some TLC but we the FM players know this

My final though another evolution of a good game we FM players love. Cant wait for FM21

My friend introduced me to this game and from then on i was hooked.

RoN is not entirely a real-time strategy game, its more turn based game but i think it does it well when you play conquer the World. RoN is one of the first RTS games to see a versatile resource system. Rather than having the same three or four resources throughout the entire game, RoN's resources change depending on the age you are playing in. For example, when you move into the age of machinery and projectile warfare, oil becomes a necessary resource to collect.

RoN is reasonably appealing visually, RoN goes beyond the scope of your average RTS as far as controls go. Naturally, selecting and ordering commands to your little guys is done by the same old traditional methods, but RoN goes beyond the basics and integrates powerful commands in easy functions.

Game Dev Tycoon is a business simulation game in which you replay the history of the gaming industry by starting your own video game development company in the 80s. Create best selling games. Research new technologies and invent new game types. Become the leader of the market and gain worldwide fans. I l;ove the concept of this game but when creating the games it feels a bit like pot luck, As you grow you can hire more people and even release new systems which i found pretty good..a god game to sink a few hours into

For this fantasy lover, LEGO The Lord of the Rings ticks all the right boxes. Following the story of Frodo in Legos only way...
