This review is from: Silverfall [Download] (Software Download)
Silverfall is a tradition rpg with a quest/level up system. I would rate this game higher than other budget RPG's such as FATE. The story is a little shallow but its still a fun game to play to kill time. Multiplayer worked well with a LAN setup. Cant go wrong with the price $1.99

! ATTENTION ! Be careful when opening the seal of the music CD envelope! The music CD is located in the upper portion of the envelope. The problem? The envelope is only open at the top, and sealed with a circular transparent sticker. The music CD is held in place so closely to the top that the circular sticker that seals this envelope makes contact with an edge of the CD. I call attention to this so that the reader does not damage the CD when cutting the seal to remove the music CD.
Like many other reviewers, I had been fortunate enough to get early access and into the beta. I like the game a lot and I think the quality of the game itself is 5 stars, as designated in the "fun rating" for this product. Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) is not perfect, and the pros and cons are discussed in reams of detail from numerous outlets.
I am placing this review to discuss the physical observations of the SWTOR Collector's Edition. I've broken this up into comments on... Read more

While Star Wars: the Old Republic in now way remakes the mould, it is a great game. It's too early to speak of end game because I wasn't one of the non-weekend beta testers.
Anyone familiar with MMOs will immediately be comfortable with the controls of the game and will be able to dive right in. Even for those who aren't, the on-by-default tips should be sufficient to get the new player to have a working knowledge quickly.
The character customization isn't not that vast, but in my experience from other MMOs, is for the most part a cut above what most games allow. One drawback is that all the different alien races are very humanoid in appearance. This is a drawback from the extensive voice acting that limits species to 'galactic standard' speaking types. Otherwise there are many tools to individualize your character enough that there should be several things to set you apart from that guy next to you in game.
Questing in this game is just amazing. Every... Read more

I want to first start out saying that my judgment on an MMO is not where the game is today, but where it will be in the future. I list several negative aspects of the game, but I expect most of them to be addressed in the future. MMOs change over time, and it is very important to recognize that the game you play today will be a lot different a year from now. I have left other games because they fail at core aspects of the game and/or started going in the wrong direction.
Core Game - * Companions - I almost always play a pet class in MMOs, so companions are right up my alley. The companion system is very unique because the 'pets' aren't just mindless drones that follow you around; they have stories, unique fighting syles, and personalities. You have to keep your companions happy and things you do and say can cause them to dislike you. Also, you are no longer gearing up just 1 character anymore . . . but 6. Each of your 5 companions needs to be geared, just like... Read more

This review is from: Total War: SHOGUN 2 DLC - Rise of The Samurai Campaign [Online Game Code] (Software Download)
This is a great add-on to a great series of games, and for only $6! This add-on gives a lot of content and redirects the flow of the game. Instead of trying to overthrow the shogun and take over Japan, you start as a on of three families that will become the future shogun. The game changes certain aspects, you still create armies and still battle on a 3D plane, but there is more politics in this version. Each city you conquer is loyal to one of the three families and you have to shift their loyalties through agents, conquering or buildings. Overall I like the shift to political loyalties but this add-on does go at a slower pace than the regular shogun. If you thought shogun was low on action you might want to skip this one. However if you love the series and you want an add on that gives you a ton of new content pick this up.

This review is from: Total War: SHOGUN 2 DLC - Rise of The Samurai Campaign [Online Game Code] (Software Download)
Creative Assembly excels at making new campaigns and this DLC is proof of that. It doesn't have as much content as a fully-fledged expansion, but I would liken it to one of the campaigns from Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms.
It starts hundreds of years prior to the vanilla campaign, and that adds for an interesting dynamic. Tech trees end where the first game began (the basic techs from Shogun 2 are the late game techs in Rise of the Samurai), and units are not as advanced, and the fortresses are much more primitive. Level 1 cities will have no walls, just a building on top of a hill. There are three families, and you play as one clan from a family (there are two clans per family, and the other clan starts out as your ally). Towns will have allegiances to various families, which you can influence, and using a new unit you can purchase the city, and it becomes yours. The agents are similar yet different from Shogun 2. There are some new, some units that are just older... Read more
