Final Fantasy XIV – The Story So Far – Episode 1: Beginnings
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn won’t just be a relaunch of Final Fantasy XIV, but also a direct sequel set five years after the events that ended the first game. With Final Fantasy XIV now closed, many missed the chance to enjoy its story. Since the two games will be deeply linked, knowing the story behind Final Fantasy XIV will most probably enhance the enjoyment of A Realm Reborn. Final Fantasy XIV – The Story So Far is a weekly episodic column that will tell the tale of the heroes of Eorzea, from the very beginning to the final, climatic battle against the 7th Imperial Legion. It will also include the cutscenes of the main storyline (and a few relevant extras). If you didn’t play Final Fantasy XIV, when you saw the beautiful “The End of an Era“ trailer, you probably asked yourself who the characters portrayed are, and how they gathered together to fight against the Empire. This is your chance to know in order to better enjoy A … [Read more...] about Final Fantasy XIV – The Story So Far – Episode 1: Beginnings
Top X List | Return to the GotGame Multiplex
It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year again – the temperature has reached 800,000 degrees (700,000 degrees Celsius) and the dry versus sticky heat rages like political fire. The only solace for some is an air-conditioned theater and a small Coke the size of a kindergarten student. That’s right, it’s summer blockbuster season once again, where the movies are full of big explosions, big boobs, big muscles, and small plotlines. Last year, around this time, we asked you what video games should be made into movies, and the response was huge – so big we had to do two Top X Lists! This year, it’s the other way around – some games based on movies are fantastic, such as Aladdin based off the Disney film, while some are simply terrible. And by that we mean E.T. The Extraterrestrial. Yes, I invoked the name of the worst video game of all time. That is the level of danger that tie-in games are capable of. Fortunately, our friends at the GotGame … [Read more...] about Top X List | Return to the GotGame Multiplex
The RPS 2016 Advent Calendar – Dec 1st: INSIDE
What is the best dystopia of 2016, the official year of the dystopia? The RPS Advent Calendar highlights our favourite games of the year, daily, and behind today’s door is… INSIDE!Alec: I like it even more in hindsight than I did at the time, now that the sting of its handful of less successful puzzles has faded and I’m left with the broader memory of the journey as a whole. My mind returns to Inside surprisingly often. Its freaky sights, its malevolent puzzles, its tar-black comedy, the elegance of its forward motion, the perfect sickness of the ending. It all comes together beautifully. Apart from the friendly chicks puzzle. I still don’t get the thinking behind the friendly chicks puzzle. No – no, let it go, Meer.Every time my mind returns to Inside, I want to replay it, then swiftly realise that no, I do not want to repeat the experience. Its black magic would be lost if I knew what was up ahead, was denied the laughter and the horror of what it might … [Read more...] about The RPS 2016 Advent Calendar – Dec 1st: INSIDE
City of Heroes Walkthrough
By Stratos GroupDesign by Marty Smith City of Heroes has had one of the most successful launches in massively-multiplayer history, with over 100,000 subscribers signing on within the first two weeks after the game hit the shelves. Its appeal isn't difficult to comprehend, as it features a world based on comic book mythology, complete with a powerful character generator and no-nonsense, all-action gameplay. It's not a stretch to call City of Heroes the MMO game for people who hate MMO games. Of course, if you just intend to jump into City of Heroes unprepared, you may find yourself in over your head, as there are literally hundreds of possible character designs, thanks to COH's system of primary and secondary powers. Your ability to mix and match power sets, plus custom-design your hero's look, will make it easy for you to make a character that stands out from the crowd--or make the 100th Wolverine clone on your server. It's up to you. Luckily, GameSpot's game guide to City … [Read more...] about City of Heroes Walkthrough
