Lineage 2

You might not believe this but I have started playing Lineage 2. At first I never saw myself playing this game as it was touted as grindy and hardcore. But, as a measure to help our gaming community, Celestial Order, I tried the game nonetheless. And was rewarded with exactly what people were warning me about. Now, after Guild Wars, I am quite bored out of grinding. The only consolation is that I am doing it with my guild mates and it makes it somewhat tolerable. That is not to say that this game is not without merits. I personally like the character designs, armours and weapons. They are not as outlandish as say, WoW but they look more realistic in so far as to look similar to european medieval time armours. The game is still new to me and the first thing I learnt from the game is that everything is expensive! Teleporting will cost you thousands of adena (the game's currency). Even when you have a clan hall, you have to pay rental! And it is not cheap.


My character in the game is a warlord. Which is a crowd control melee class. Quite contrary to the type of classes I choose which is usually single dps melee classses. However, I am taking a liking to him as I get to run a mechanic that I have been aware for some time but never get to experience it. Which is train-ing. Literally, you aggro as many monsters as you can and you train them to a location where you can maximise your weapon's angle. The name of the game is to hit as many of them in one time, with the least swings as possible with the class' AoE (area of effect) attacks and skills. As you can no doubt see, this class is a good levelling companion and most people would want a warlord in the team. Anyway, recently the game just updated to Chaos Throne version 1.5 and there is also a 2x experience event happening. Seems like everyone is on a levelling rampage to take advantage of that. I guess I am on that bus as well.

Aliens: Colonial Marines

This could be old news but I had to say it anyway. There is an Aliens game in production! Woohoooo! It is named Aliens: Colonial Marines and will be during James Cameron's Aliens movie timeline! Awesome! Those colonial marines were badass! I can't wait to play this. The cool thing is that there will be four player coop where you will be covering each other's assses while getting some objective of some sort done at the same time. No information on when it is going to be released but I can't wait for any news regarding on the game for now. The game is being done by Gearbox and will be released by Sega. Hopefully, the game delivers on the hype. There are a few pics up of the game in its current state in the net now but for me, this particular pic sold it for me:


From that pic, the guy burning the doors together should hurry up because the aliens are just outside, ready to knock the door and they aren't selling girl scout cookies!

Battleships Forever

There this awesome game that has been out for some time but I only got my hands on it quite recently. It is still in beta though but most of its features are complete. It is roughtly a 2D top down RTS game. It looks simple but it is quite complex. The best thing is that you can create your own custom ships with the included Battleship Maker. I have created two fleets as of this moment and you can check them out: Aquilonian Fleet and Neo Genesis. Check out the pic of my Aquilonian Fleet:

Long time no post.

After a long time of not posting, I have decided to do some changes! So here you can see I have added in a custom blog skin. I probably would change the header image to make it alot more different.
