Age of Conan Review

Well Age of Conan has been out for a little bit now and I feel safe in saying that I can give a decent review.

The Beginning:

When you first start the game you're thrown right into the story, being told to kill this and find that. The story however is very well put together and really brings you into the game more so than any of the other MMO's I've seen. To play the story you actually have to switch out of Multiplayer mode, to singleplayer mode via the workers in the Inn. Once you are in singleplayer mode, the story rushes along with cutscenes and some fascinating events. The story stops, however, once you reach level 20 (or if you want to you can just skip your singleplayer destiny quest).


(Sanctum of the burning souls : Level 35 - 40 instance)

The Rest:

Once you finish this area you are free and clear to explore the world. You will be taken to your homeland and set free in the world. Basically from here on it's your decision what you want to do, but sadly you will have to wait until level 40 to start your trade skills. I know the big thing for me once I reached level 40 was to get a mount. This is extremely difficult to achieve upon reaching level 40, you will most likely not have a mount until level 50 or so when money picks up. There is however a feat untrainer who can help you (for 40c) reset your feat tree incase you misplaced some like me. From here on there doesn't appear to be any switching between singleplayer and multiplayer it is just strictly multiplayer. The combat system is sensational, I am really pleased with the ranged combat as well as the close combat. The different options of attack that you are given really help you not fall asleep while grinding. I noticed that none of the npc's you meet in other cities now do not actually speak unlike the ones from the beginning area. They are all just mute and the words are written on the screen for you to read.


(Field of the Dead)

Verdict?

I am really pleased to say that this game has changed me from a wow addict to an aoc addict. I was looking for something new and it seems that Age of Conan delivers. I guess we will all have to wait and see.

Ubidays 2008

So with another Ubidays wrapped up lets see what caught our eyes.

Tom Clancy's EndWar :

This has been a highly anticipated game for a while now, but after gameplay footage was released that fact was solidified. The ability to control an army with your voice, having the feeling that you are in fact a general is really revolutionary. Most RTS games on consoles, to be honest, are difficult and just do not seem as rewarding as they do on the PC. It makes sense, you have 115 +/- buttons at your immediate disposal helping you keep control of such a large space. The console is limited in that sense, but as EndWar is proving, there is so much more potential to console RTS games. They say the game is expected to be released later this year, around November. So we could see this game trying to tackle the juggernaut that is Gears of War 2 this holiday season. Check out the trailer

Now if that doesn't interest you then check this out.

Prince of Persia :

The new trailer (and the game title) lets us know right from the get go that this is not going to be a continuation. This will be a brand new game, new characters, and new challenges. If you disliked the other prince of persia games (as many people did) then if you're willing have a sneak peak at this new one!

So if that wasn't enough, Ubisoft gave us a couple more views at Highly Anticipated games!

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X :

Yet another Tom Clancy game. Wait, wait... this ones not a shooter either? O yes, the Tom Clancy franchise is dipping into RTS games, but now Flight Combat games? I'm actually excited to play this one and that is saying a lot since I have never owned a flight simulator game in my life. The graphics look pretty impressive and having a game that is coming from a very strong franchise who is dedicated to their games, keep your eye on this game.

Well Here we go, FAR CRY 2!

Far Cry 2 :

If you're a Far Cry fan then hold onto your seat! The first installment was just absolutely gorgeous playing on your PC at home with max graphics, so it's just a given that this game is going to blow our minds graphics wise, but can the gameplay hold up? The first game started to drag on when they introduced all the monsters to us and had us fighting wave after wave of giant beasts when all we really wanted to do was practice our guerilla warfare tactics on the mercenaries. This game looks as though it will live up to these expectations completely removing the monsters (or so it seems). The basis of this game is simple, Kill The Jackal. Can you do that? I hope so! With an open world environment, allowing you to reach this goal any way you see fit creates a different game for everyone. You could find other people who are willing to help you in your struggle, or you could just go out guns blazing and annhiliate everyone you see. Can these promises live up to all the hype? or will it fall flat? only time will tell. Check out this trailer, you won't be disappointed.

Easy money Go to an ATM, then cause a traffic jam to the area. Wait for someone to take money from the ATM, then kill him or her. Make sure to block any nearby roads so the ambulance cannot get to the murdered victim. Take the money they dropped on the ground. Then, run a short distance away, and go back. The money should have respawned on the ground. You can repeat this as many times as desired. You can also kill more people taking their money from the ATM to increase the amount of money that respawns. -From: Khairol161

Repairing engine If the vehicle you are driving breaks down and the engine will not start, call 911, and your engine should start again.

Fast travel To avoid wasting time driving all the way across the city, call a taxi. They will take you to your destination for your mission, stores, safehouses, or even a waypoint marker. You can skip through the taxi ride, allowing you to travel across the entire city in about ten seconds. This can also be done during missions.

Easy headshots It is sometimes difficult to get headshots, which do count. With some practice, doing the following is an easy way to get headshots. Press [Auto-Aim], then use the Right Analog-stick to move the auto-aim target around your victim's body. Barely move the Right Analog-stick as you are shooting. This puts bullets in the chest and head, and results in an easy instant kill.

Getting away from police When running away from the cops, you will have a circular area in which they look for you. However, if you get out and another cop sees you, it changes. To use this to your advantage, barely get out of that circle, which you will see on your radar. Then, just sit there for about five seconds instead of flooring past it.

Regaining health during missions You can leave the mission area and go to a Cluckin' Bell, hotdog stand, etc. and eat food to replenish your health if you are low and cannot find a health pack. This is especially useful on missions where there are no health packs in sight. Note: You can also take a taxi to those locations during missions.

Avoiding toll booths Drive through any toll booth with any emergency vehicle with the sirens on. The booth attendant will open the gate, and you will save $5.

$100 for all ringtones and themes After getting the phone from Playboy X, go to the nearest Internet cafe. Buy all of the ringtones and themes from the ringtones site. Log out of the computer, and you will notice that you only paid $100 for all ringtones and themes.

Wii Fit

Well I ended up getting a Wii Fit today and might I say I am impressed. To be honest, when I got it, I was under the impression it was going to be more child oriented, with easy exercises and simple games. Nintendo definitely impressed me when I turned the game on. It has a measuring system to indicate your BMI (Body Mass Index) based on your height and age. Wii Fit then goes ahead and assigns you a Wii Fit Age based on how you score on the balance tests. I took a picture of my Wii Fit in all its glory.

I'll keep my progress updated. Wii Fit tracks your workouts and develops graphs and statistics based off your continual use. It also has a full on calendar that lets you know what days you've worked out or missed. Here's a picture I took of my main scree using my Mii.
