Battlefield 2142 - Deluxe Edition PC Review

Gamers who love first person shooters probably know him, battlefield 2142.
Besides standard Battlefield 2142 is the expansion aka booster pack Northern Strike, which delivers new weapons, vehicles and three folders with winter snowfall. Playing Well, but expansion pack play takes just a week or two ... In this battlefield 2142 deluxe edition is the expansion pack and patch 1:40 standard. Installation went in one time, the expansion pack too, do not install these additional games but see the negative characteristics. (Now works) I had not the exception, this rule was to say 99% of the buyers. The game is known war battlefield story, this time from two large super nations (the PAC and the EU) who are at war. That story I will save you, for me it's the game in itself, not about the story behind it. Futures war buildings and vehicles, the weapons are called. futuristic Some vehicles hovering just above the ground, the walker (2 legged walking vehicle) and the 'helicopter' rotors that not only has jet. There are two helicopters, a team with heavy boordmittraileurs carrier and a kind of rocket firing income fast helicopter, where the 2nd crew member has a heavy mounted gun that can go around and almost completely intact, a guided missile. That guided missile can be sent to your target after firing, that's a kick :-)! Hardware on two PCs, AMD 3700 + with 2 GB dual channel, nvidia 7600GT fatal1ty, SATAII 250 maxtor, windows vista 64 (!) and an intel 2.8 ghz pentium XP home sp2, 1gb, 512mb nvidia 6800 ls, the game runs fine at 1024x 960? or something, I do love sharp images, but not uber noise and shadows do, I have it turned off. However, I use 2 x antialias. For me, speed and fluidity above eye-candy. All this is also a standard 17 "monitor and an 8 ms 17 inch samsung 710 tft. If you change your display options in the game itself, there is a 'disadvantage' before you can play again, the game you shaders and other things resume in "Configuring and optimally tune" and that takes a while (not measured but grab some coffee or tea ... Game and design Ok, so the future, the year 2142, two camps fighting. Offline you can practice, difficulty adjustable kwa AI of your enemies, but online rocks, and there are too many games / players to find online. LAG I have not yet encountered, and it seems less bunny hoppers sit 'on' this game than in other games that I did! The weapons are not laser guns what you expect maybe in 2142, but that's beneficial I think, I houid be simulated shots and that you do not immediately see from where the shots come . Certain standing arms (not transportable) do show a trace behind, as well as missiles from the 'helicopters' rotors that not only have swivel jet engines like irl a harrier jet. So you can drive and fly, alone or with a team, but sailing is not there, the ships are there for show. Folders are top in the sense of light level '1 ', not of the light-dark-light dark maps, lovely. Even at low settings, there is a lot of fire, explosions, particles, so looks fine, although I understand that I just imagine few demands on speed and prefer. rise in rank: In the beginning, you have four options for your soldier: support with heavy machine gun, rocket launcher with engineer for the shoulder, storm trooper or sniper. Supporters drop ok medic and ammo crates, which mates ammunition and healt restore can draw this again provides the helper of course points. As you get points gets going you rank up and unlock bonuses free, which you can swap for more weapons and tools such as Vehicle Tracking radar, mine decommissioning etc., mines, anti-aircraft guns, better telescope, energy shields, warehouses with ammunition, heavier 1st and 2nd personal weapons, anti-armor munitions, advanced (lamleggende-electronics) grenades, etc., etc. For me it's the coolest online war game I ever had. And after the misery of not playable expansion, as it does have again three very cool maps and weapons / vehicles / options when. pointed Play alone or in a team, soldier who receives orders, or be team leader (and more options than weapons) and play conquest, battle lines of Titan. Titan The Titan is the greatest weapon, namely a floating (and barely moving) air fortress with heavy weapons on the bottom. On board are often two helicopters. The intention is to moles, each titan with ground to air missiles first shield, then the core of the airship. To do this you must as much ground missile installations occupied and busy seeing to hold. You come into the airship by a helicopter, OR a 'pod' which you launch from a vehicle. See screen capture below the positive attributes field. Likes, because it is and losses rocket or flag bases, so if you travel around the map around :-) nice for those who love variety. Conquest and attack lines is basically the same, but then it goes to locations with a flagpole that you need to get and maintain. TOP! Photos http://images.google.nl/i...northern+strike&gbv=2 Update courtesy of: sjaak barge I myself still have not commanded, the addition of sjaak barge: "Perhaps you had to elaborate on the squad and commander capabilities just as commander example, you earn points only to parts which are also followed orders from Squad leaders get bonus points if their squad.. members make a kill in order radius etc. "

Geometry Wars: Galaxies - Wii has needed a coffee?

Thanks to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, we are seeing more and more old classics back to life. Besides retro games or existing games with a new look, there's also plenty of new content that is worth. And sometimes those arcade games so popular that they make the transition to independent game. So that's the story behind Geometry Wars. Started as (clogged) minigame in the racing game Project Gotham Racing 2 for Xbox, then as flashy Xbox Live Arcade game called Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and now available as a new game for the Wii.


For those new to the game, Geometry Wars is a space shoot'em-up. A little into oblivion genre where the player in the space, everything that moves shoot in a desperate attempt to survive. If properly done, then these games were certainly good for addictive gaming hours, but there appeared obviously many mediocrities recent decades. If a fine tribute to Asteroids, Geometry blows new life into the genre and the Xbox Live Arcade version is now completed with the necessary extras and even a multiplayer mode. Go ahead.

Battalion Wars 2: in the middle of the action

Drive tanks, combat aircraft to battle directing and command over all sorts of ground troops ... everyone has ever dreamed of and Battalion Wars 2 is also possible on the Wii.

Battalion Wars 2 is the sequel to the first Battalion Wars game, which appeared on the Gamecube. The working title for this precursor was originally "Advance Wars: Under Fire" and it should be obvious that the developer Kuju Advance Wars series with Battalion Wars 2 just wants to continue.

Advance WarsIn the new game, it is still the intention to make best use of your available troops to pass to protect targets of attack, where the player as a commander an overview of the battlefield must try to save them. Commands use In contrast to the Advance Wars series, is not, in turn, played at each Battalion Wars, but elements from first-person shooters mixed with the features of a real-time strategy game.

* More than a sequel?

In principle, the difference with the Gamecube game Battalion Wars does not seem so big. The gameplay is virtually unchanged - though this time it is possible battleships and submarines to control - and the game exudes the same atmosphere as its predecessor.

Battalion Wars 2 Screenshot
While the first Battalion Wars, however, just failed to be a classic and, yet somewhat unfairly, quickly disappeared from the attention and never could appeal, a large readership does Battalion Wars 2 is a good attempt to do to achieve this higher level . In particular, the online multiplayer mode ensures that Battalion Wars 2 might well be, but also the ability to fight battles and conquer 'facilities' adds to the gameplay. A keeper

* Story

Battalion Wars 2 charactersBattalion Wars revolves around the 'fun', while the gameplay is of primary importance. A good story, however, can just give that extra touch and there is one at Kuju in any event successful. Thus, the Anglo Isles 'described as' a green and pleasant island that once included a mighty empire, but now relegated to the lower regions of diplomacy. " Moreover, these Anglo Isles in the first missions once been persuaded to fall in search of some super weapon another nation - which, however, remains un found. The various commanders are as fun caricatures put down regularly and know magic, without being annoying. Smile on the face

The game does still manages to come up to war, for good reason, but unfortunately it falls within the missions themselves repeating. Here is it again and again down to capture a production, protecting a base or taking an enemy headquarters.

Scene It: Lights, Camera, Action

Who has never dreamed of taking part in a quiz and thousands of hardcore euro note to take home? Some people never get that opportunity to others to do almost any game show them that they can find. For anyone who falls out of the boat remains games as Buzz! for the Playstation 2 and Scene It: Lights, Camera, Action on Xbox 360.

Discuss Scene It is not possible to achieve without Buzz. Equally to at least Indeed, it is very coincidental that Microsoft with a game that is almost identical to the quiz game that has been available for years and years on the Playstation 2. Stolen more good than bad fabricated, shall we say ... Scene It is so, like Buzz, comes with four special buzzer controllers, which need little explanation.


Like Buzz Scene It meant to house. Multiple quiz types over time The first version is all about movies. During the game you will put all kinds of questions, each of which have something to do with the film world. Therein lies directly strong side of Scene It: There are many different game types. One time you have to watch a movie scene and memorize as many facts and other times you have to recognize actors, based on photos from their student days. This not only provides a lot of variety, but also for great laughs.

The Club

Bizarre Creations is mainly known thanks to the Project Gotham Racing series. Where the Japanese Polyphony Digital has already been extensively proven with Gran Turismo, there Bizarre did that in the fall of 2007, again with Project Gotham Racing 4. The race samples will remain in the garage. It's time for weapons!

Although The Club basically just a great shooting game is made, the racing background Bizarre absolutely forwards in the game.

Spore than half a year before it is in the shop

"Think of Spore not as an offline game," said Thomas Vu, the producer responsible for the gameplay, or the playability of the game. "It's single play, yes, but with a strong online component." To make the picture even more puzzling, he adds: "Will wanted to actually make a single play mmo."

Welcome to the wonderful world of Spore. Will the course where Vu is talking about is Will Wright, the creator of everything about that Sim has the name, main achievements: SimCity and The Sims. Vu was not the originator of the concept of Spore back during the demonstration he gave to Tweakers.net. Hand Wright is obvious. Electronic Arts has been asked by the demonstration. Spore appear until about half a year in the shop. The game is almost finished, says the editor, but it would appear that there are still some loose ends remain. During the demonstration

* Cell Phase

Spore takes its name from the reproductive mechanism of primitive life forms such as bacteria and fungi. A spore is typically an asexual cell that can develop into a full organism. That is exactly what will happen in Spore state. You start the game with a single-celled creature that swims around in the primordial soup of any planet. The creature swims through water that is full of life. To make your creature swimming and all kinds of other creatures floating organic debris. Swim even though the first multicellular creatures, whose huge monsters coming at you little creature, and it threatens to devour. The trick is to avoid the multicellular creatures and eat. Protozoans and other plant debris on After five times successfully eaten something your creature will grow.


The camera zooms out instantaneously, 10,000 times zooms to only 1000 times magnification. However, the environment changes little. Still, you are surrounded by swimming animals of similar size and plant debris, and still swimming around there are larger animals that are after you. By growth alone, not eating every now and then you win a piece with DNA. With that DNA can adjust your animal. Once you have picked up the first DNA, starting the first editor of the game, the Creature Editor. The DNA serves as a building block for your animal. Which piece of DNA you collect random. I fished a spine, which I then anywhere on my hitherto quite shapeless creature could place. Collecting pieces of DNA the role play begins in Spore. The DNA pieces are parts that you can stick in order to upgrade. Them certain values ​​on your beast The spine increased attack power of my beast. This first stage of the game, the Cell Phase, lasts about twenty minutes. After a few times out your beast is ready to leave the primordial soup and go ashore.

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams

Some avid gamers still mourning the death of the Dreamcast, Sega's last piece of computer hardware. Today, however, the Japanese company is doing as a pure software developer better than ever. In addition to many new franchises old series like Virtua Tennis and figurehead Sonic also not be forgotten. With NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is a very very dusty series breathed life again. Will it be a night to never forget or an outright nightmare?

Nights: Journey of DreamsLame puns aside, the current generation of gamers will NiGHTS say little to nothing. The original game is also a lot of years. It was the time that Sega games besides also made hardware and Sony's PlayStation did not exist, the time that the Japanese company was a formidable competitor to Nintendo. Sonic was almost as popular as Mario, but other Sega game characters amassed a hero. One was the harlequin NiGHTS, who fell into oblivion ended after a single game, and the necessary support.

* Two teams?

After years of silence, Sega decided by the roguish jester NiGHTS: a second chance Journey of Dreams. Journey of Dreams has become a strange game. In terms of writing the hands may shake WipEout and Navy SEALs, the use of upper and lower case seems totally random. Apart from the odd spelling, you may wonder whether a slightly effeminate narretje wrapped in a parcel from the time when Prince was still dancing in the Purple Rain it is still viable. The answer is undoubtedly yes, of course, as long as the gameplay is okay. " And right here Sega can be really strange behavior blamed. The game oscillates between fact downright boring, ugly parts into memorable, imaginative elements. The difference in quality between various moments in NiGHTS game in 2008 is so different that it almost seems as if there are two different teams worked. To this title Star team and a team of novices.
