A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Oh, forget it: “Fallen Enchantress, Legendary Heroes” is the third game in Stardocks line of Elemental games. As you probably know, ELemental’s release was a total disaster: For most people … Continue reading →

Random Christmas stuff

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Arthur

Now that vacation is sort of settling in, the following links attracted my full attention. In order of interest and heritage. I think. The Dutch language is a very ‘adopting’ language: as opposed to the French, the Dutch language allows … Continue reading →

Civilization V

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Arthur

I‘ve been playing Civilization 5 (wikipedia link) now for a while and I’m still mixed about it. If you played and loved Civ4 (Earlier here): it’s nothing like it. The game designers drastically changed several game features: First of all, … Continue reading →

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Posted on October 16, 2012 by Arthur

I have never played the original XCOM game (nee UFO: Enemy Unknown), back in the mid 90s. The famous turn-based-squad Microprose game obviously took the gaming world by surprise and people have been talking now for ages to recreate the … Continue reading →

Mount and Blade: with Fire and Sword

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Arthur

Earlier this year I decided to give Mount and Blade a try, only because Wikipedia describes the game as a “medieval, single-player nonlinear action role-playing video game”. For the first time, before buying the game, I decided to watch the … Continue reading →

Eye of the Beholder/Grimrock

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Arthur

This is not going to be a review of sorts: However, I bought ‘Legend of Grimrock’ (producer) the other day, which is an old-style hack-and-slash dungeon crawler a la “Dungeon Master”, or, rather, more to my experience, “Eye of the … Continue reading →

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Arthur

While I’m at it: I haven’t had time to put any thoughts on games. Not that I spend my hours on playing games all the time: however, 2 or 3 months ago, I managed to finish ‘Skyrim’ (product page, wikipedia … Continue reading →

X3 and Elite

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Arthur

It probably doesn’t surprise anybody that I’ve added “X3: Albion Prelude” (Egosoft) to my collection of playable games. This is supposed to be an expansion to “X3:Terran Conflict” (earlier on xsamplex), but to be honest, it doesn’t feel like that: … Continue reading →

Crysis

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Arthur

I‘ve always been hesitant of trying Crysis (2007) mainly because of the fear my current hardware wouldn’t support the notorious system requirements and other related video graphic cards tweaks that are needed to get this to run nice and smooth. … Continue reading →

Mass Effect 2

Posted on November 7, 2010 by Arthur

I was going to write a rant about the current state of video games, but I just happened to finish off ‘Mass Effect 2’ (wikipedia) after 25 hours of (clocked) gameplay. That should tell enough. Back in the early 90s … Continue reading →

Just Cause 2

Posted on September 4, 2010 by Arthur

So yeah, I finished the main storyline of “Just Cause 2” the other day and generally the game left a good impression: after you finish up the main line, “Just Cause 2” goes into “mercenary mode”, a free-as-you-will mode to … Continue reading →
