PC News | ArchLord: The Legend of Chantra
Forget being king for a day. In Archlord, Codemasters' new Korean-developed MMORPG due for PC release this autumn, you'll get to be king for a month. Take a look at these screens to see what power really looks like. 'King' isn't really the word for it, though, as each month Archlord sees one player becoming the ultimate supreme ruler of the game's domain, shaping its world and lashing out at anyone and everyone with their temporary omnipotence. So, how do you earn the right to become a ...

PC News | Hitman: Blood Money
In a shocking development, Agent 47 (of Hitman: Blood Money fame) has allegedly been contracted by Colonel Sanders for what the Colonel would only comment on as an "upcoming project." Conceivably, the Colonel was most attracted by Agent 47's numerical name as it corresponds neatly to the number of special herbs and spices included in the Colonel's very own Kentucky Fried meat product. Of course, none of that is even remotely true. What we actually have here is a set of new Hitman screens that ...

PC News | CivCity: Rome
Controlling all of human existence? Yeah, we've done that. But this summer, 2K Games will publish CivCity: Rome, an intriguing sounding spin-off from Sid Meier's popular Civilization series of games. This time, you'll focus on just one city, but what a city it will be. When you're building something as important as Rome, you have to start somewhere; it will apparently be as a small city. Grow it with schools, theaters, forts and that legendary venue for "sporting combat," the Circus Maximus. ...

PC News | Sid Meier's Railroads!
We know the software shelves are crowded with simulation games about enormous steam locomotives, but there's one more coming out this summer that may be of particular interest: Sid Meier's Railroads. Strategy maven Meier helped give birth to the entire business-sim genre with Railroad Tycoon back in 1990. Now, with a slight name change, the series is back under the control of its original engineer. "Were thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this game back home," said Meier in a press ...

PC News | Civilization IV: Warlords
We know what Sid Meier's Civilization IV needs: more violence! That's what we're expecting from the recently announced Warlords expansion pack. The game's name comes from the new warlord unit, which brings a bit more aggression to the development of human existence. Warlords also promises six new scenarios, as well as new civilizations, wonders, units and other goodies. But really, we just want to march in and take control of all the cool things that everybody else on the planet owns. Expect ...

PC News | The Godfather
Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes, the Don has been shot and you're the only one who can keep him alive. One of the things the team behind The Godfather likes to brag about is how cleverly their game's plot syncs up with that of Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 gangster epic. And after playing through the game, we're inclined to agree with them. To give Godfather fans an example of how the game ties in with the film's storyline, we've put together this little video from the PS2 version. Clocking ...

PC News | The Movies: Stunts & Effects

Due for release in spring, the new content will herald the arrival of stuntmen to the lot, a mad dog bunch who will bring with them a varied repertoire of dangerous tricks and turns to add a ...

PC News | Final Fantasy XI
Joining the likes of Blizzard (World of Warcraft) and Sony Online Entertainment (EverQuest), Square Enix held its first annual Final Fantasy XI Fan Festival in Santa Monica over the blustery, unseasonably chill March 10th weekend. To fans of online role-playing games, the community is as important - if not moreso - than the gameplay itself. Pushing that sense of community into the real world is a great way to reinforce the relationship between fans ... as well as rack up some tidy merch sales. ...
