Posted on June 20, 2013 by Arthur

By now you have already seen and heard all about the next generation of gaming consoles, the PS4 and the Xbox One, which were both demoed at the last E3. Microsoft’s Xbox was panned by many reviewers and tech journalist, … Continue reading →

Eye of the Beholder/Grimrock

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Arthur

This is not going to be a review of sorts: However, I bought ‘Legend of Grimrock’ (producer) the other day, which is an old-style hack-and-slash dungeon crawler a la “Dungeon Master”, or, rather, more to my experience, “Eye of the … Continue reading →

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Arthur

While I’m at it: I haven’t had time to put any thoughts on games. Not that I spend my hours on playing games all the time: however, 2 or 3 months ago, I managed to finish ‘Skyrim’ (product page, wikipedia … Continue reading →

X3 and Elite

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Arthur

It probably doesn’t surprise anybody that I’ve added “X3: Albion Prelude” (Egosoft) to my collection of playable games. This is supposed to be an expansion to “X3:Terran Conflict” (earlier on xsamplex), but to be honest, it doesn’t feel like that: … Continue reading →

Crysis

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Arthur

I‘ve always been hesitant of trying Crysis (2007) mainly because of the fear my current hardware wouldn’t support the notorious system requirements and other related video graphic cards tweaks that are needed to get this to run nice and smooth. … Continue reading →

Dragon Age: Origins

Posted on January 10, 2010 by Arthur

I finished my first ‘Dragon Age’ (official site, Wikipedia) run earlier this weekend, so I thought a write-up was an excellent start of the year of 2010. You may have heard of ‘Dragon Age’, most likely because it received excellent … Continue reading →

Games redux

Posted on October 25, 2009 by Arthur

I finally managed to find some time to play a couple of rounds of ‘Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword’ (2007) and while I’m hesitant to judge it right now, I’m not overly enthusiastic about it (previously.). Particularly considering the current … Continue reading →

FarCry 2

Posted on October 27, 2008 by Arthur

The only reason why I got FarCry 2 is that I find the concept of ‘”Sandbox” First Person Shooter’ games extremely compelling. I think the idea started with ‘Oblivion’ (discussed earlier, thanks Alfons), where players could wander about and around … Continue reading →

Call Of Duty 4

Posted on January 3, 2008 by Arthur

A couple of weeks ago I ended up buying ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’ (Wikipedia). The game, as the title suggests, is situated in today’s world (instead of the usual WWII setting): the single player portion delivers a slightly … Continue reading →

Ghost Recon (Gold Edition)

Posted on August 26, 2007 by Arthur

Actually, I wanted to play Medal of Honor, but since the (original) discs appear to be damaged, I ended up looking at a set of Ghost Recon discs. I bought this set of discs 3 or 4 years ago (for … Continue reading →

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Posted on January 28, 2007 by Arthur

I‘ve been hesitant writing about the game Oblivion (link goes to Wikipedia). The game was passed on to me by Alfons, who complained that (while amazing) the game concept didn’t really appeal to him: too long and dreary. It appears … Continue reading →

A list of lists

Posted on October 8, 2005 by Arthur

Not playing any major game recently (besides the occasional Fifa Soccer 05), I wondered which games define the current state of the gaming industry. Obviously, it’s ID’s Quake series that mark what can (and cannot) be done on the latest … Continue reading →
