by Guest Writer Barry “Bahger” Isaacson Introduction Currently in open beta, Ghost Recon Online (GRO) is the less-hyped of the two newGhost Recon games with which Ubisoft hopes to revitalize the venerable franchise this summer. Ghost Recon Future Soldier (GRFS) has already failed to impress many diehard PC gamers who, having supported the series from its earliest incarnation as a PC-based […]
Back To Page 1 Single Player The single player component offers a series of training missions, or you can start the first campaign mission. I opted for the training missions, in the SAS Regiments famous ‘Killing House’ (It looks similar to what I’ve seen in other tactical shooters to be honest). In the training […]
A new shooter for the European market by Guest Writer Steve “Hengist” Redfern Introduction I remember being a school kid, down the local Youth Club, back in 1980. There had been news reports all that week, about a Terrorist siege at the Iranian Embassy in London. Me and some friends were gathered around the Pool table […]
Back To Page 5 Multiplayer After single player we’re off for the multiplayer part. There are several game modes, a free for all mode, team deathmatch and assault (one team lead an assault on a defensive position while the other team defends this position. You must be registered with Ubisoft to be able to play […]
Back To Page 3 Single Player You are stranded and without weapons, so it’s time to find some. As in most first person shooters there is a quick training mission presented on how the game works. Mostly just jump or crawl under a few obstacles and then you are contacted by a mysterious person named […]
Back To Page 4 I played the game at medium difficulty, and it’s at times far from easy. It doesn’t take too many bullets to really screw-up your day if you are not careful. There are five difficulty settings, easy, medium, challenging, veteran and realistic and as I’ve gathered, it’s quite a difficult game at […]
Back To Page 2 Graphics The game engine, which is called CryENGINE started out as a technology demo for NVIDIA to show the capabilities of the GeForce 3. The game has a very long draw distance which reaches far out into the world and the level is loaded without pauses. The engine can without problem […]
Back To Page 1 Packaging, Installation, Settings and Performance It comes on CD and DVD. I bought the DVD version and as always with a single disc, the installation went easier than with multiple CDs. After the installation I went through several patches to update the game as I was unable to find the […]
by Guest Writer Björn “M@verick” Hagman Introduction In March 2004 the German developer Crytek released Far Cry, their first game, and it turned out pretty good. At the time I did not pay too much attention to it, I figured that my current rig at that time, an insanely fast Intel 1.7GHz, 512 MB RAM and […]
by Garry Douglas Kilworth Reviews by Alex “Zander” Keep The Devil’s Own The first of the Crossman series of books this reads somewhere between John Keegan’s The Face Of Battle, Bravo Two Zero and James Bond. The book details the adventures of Sergeant Jack Crossman. A man of noble birth who has signed on as an NCO […]
Back To Page 4 Multiplayer The majority off all multiplayer games out there uses the latest patch, only a few for the retail version or 1.01. I have not been able to play multiplayer that much because I don’t use the 1.02 patch. During single player I noticed several bugs with that patch. The […]
Back To Page 3 F.E.A.R. is more of an action game rather then a horror game. This is the third time I play the game and I really love the combat, it’s a hectic shooter with visually stunning combat, it’s the combat that makes this game so good. Sure, it’s a linear game but […]
