Star Wars MMO made right

Posted in Games | Comments Off

One of the best games I’ve ever played was Knights of the Old Republic, a Star Wars RPG created by BioWare – the company behind other best sellers RPG like Neverwinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate (along with Black Isle) and Mass Effect. They even released a sequel, that wasn’t well received as the first game, but wasn’t bad at all – we were just expecting a little more.

Now, BioWare is using the same well succeeded recipe to make a Star Wars MMO game. It’s was announced ‘a long time ago’ and is coming along pretty well. With each new info, art work, screenshot or video released more and more people are getting excited and making it one of the most anticipated games.

As said by Gametrailers, “This cinematic is better than Episodes I-III combined”. And surely it’ll dismantle SOE’s Star Wars Galaxies.

For more info, check out the official web site.

May the force be with you.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Posted in Games | Comments Off

I didn’t know anything about this game until four days ago, although I’ve heard about it two or three times but never had the curiosity to check it out – including the fact that this game is for PS3 only and I don’t own one.

Impressive, uh? But there’s more. For even more impressive, check these E3 videos.

The game is a mixture of Gears of War with Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider. And the first thing that came to my mind while watching the video was that Drake, the main character, it’s kinda like a male version of Lara Croft. Could call him Lara Crotch. But of course that’s not true, he’s much more than a default game main character. A funny one.

E3 2007: Killzone 2 (PS3)

Posted in Games, Videos | Comments Off

Apresentado pela primeira vez na E3 de 2005, Killzone 2 para Playstation 3 impressionou e causou polêmica: o trailer havia sido criado num período de 4 meses em um software 3D, e não estava rodando no engine ou no PS3. Os desenvolvedores, por sua vez, juraram que a “animação” havia sido criada dentro das especificações de poder do console (quantidade de poligonos, iluminação, shaders, etc).

Mas agora é pra valer:

Rodando 100% no PS3, 100% ingame… 100% wow.
