Glory of the Roman Empire

PC Preview | Glory of the Roman Empire

What makes the Roman Empire the most fascinating and storied regime in all of history? The Romans were so far ahead of their time that it is nearly impossible to find a social or political issue today where a Roman wouldn't sniff, "been there, done that." At its apogee, the Roman Empire stretched from Great Britain to Constantinople, an impossibly complex social and military achievement 2,000 years ago. Glory of the Roman Empire simulates the Roman society at a granular level, and enables us ...

The Godfather

PC Preview | The Godfather

While it's ostensibly a crime movie, The Godfather seems a weird choice for a video-game adaptation. There's violence, sure, but it's far outweighed in screen time by ruminations on familial responsibility, weddings, funerals, grouchy conversations in poorly lit rooms and boiling pots of pasta. That's probably why EA chose to make its version of The Godfather about the Mafia's foot soldiers instead of its stuffy, slow-moving generals. Opening in 1945, the Godfather game follows the plot of the ...

The Godfather II

PC Preview | The Godfather II

Shrouded in secrecy for almost two years, we can’t quite believe how open everyone is about Godfather II. The game is being developed in the heart of EA at the romantically named Redwood Shores just outside San Francisco. The name alone conjures up images of a relaxed life, a sun-soaked resort and a place to escape the stresses of modern life. Like EA’s new-found approach to gaming, Redwood Shores is a fantasy. ...

Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising - day four

PC Preview | Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising

“Theyre wearing clothes…” we thought to ourselves with a touch of disappointment, when we saw NPCs in swimsuits patronizing the Aricia city bathhouse in Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising. Where are the hallmarks of Roman indulgence and decadence? They are still there in Gods and Heroes, but they lie in the buildings, architecture and the games gritty mood. And while you wont find any Caligula-styled sex parties, we did see a wide range of diverse landscapes and areas during our ...

Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising - hands-on

PC Preview | Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising

The Golden Compass - updated impressions

PC Preview | The Golden Compass

Nov 5, 2007 Frankly, anyone who's read the His Dark Materials trilogy should want to experience the game and film almost as much as wanting a monkey-shaped demon of their own. By now, the film trailer will be playing in cinemas and you'll probably have seen the amazingly recreated world of Jordan College, Bolvangar and the North on screen for yourself. And we can report that the game - which is being developed by Shiny - is shaping up to have all the best bits from the film, and more on top of ...

The Golden Compass

PC Preview | The Golden Compass

With all the success of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter films spilling over onto our consoles its hardly a surprise that were about to be up to our comically large sleeves in anything remotely wizardly. But you wont hear fantasy fans complaining, as the much beloved, million-selling His Dark Materials series kicks off this winter with the release of The Golden Compass in theaters and every console known to man or beast. An important distinction to make; since animals play a part thats ...

Gothic 3 - hands-on

PC Preview | Gothic 3

Victorious in our battle against the Orcs on our home islands in the previous Gothic games, we set sail for the mainland only to discover that those green menaces have taken over the entire mainland of Khorinis in Gothic 3. To make matters worse, their leader Xardas has managed to somehow destroy all rune magic, rendering brave paladins and fierce fire mages across the land useless. After freeing a small village from their cruel Orc captors, we set off on what will surely be an epic ...
