The vehicle accelerates like no other vehicle in the game, beating the Voltic and becoming the fastest accelerating electric vehicle in the game, while being a close rival to the rocket-powered Rocket Voltic. However, the traction is by far the worst in the Supers class, as the vehicle lacks in cornering speeds and spins out quite easily, despite its all wheel drive system. The all-wheel-drive system juxtaposed with the extreme amounts of torque create both low-speed oversteer and high speed understeer. The extreme acceleration must be managed, else the player will careen into obstacles ahead.
The Cyclone is powered by a large battery on the back, and like other fully-electric vehicles like the Voltic, it has a CVT transmission and little to no noise coming from the car (only heard in quiet areas and with the radio off).

Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword test for PC
While the community of Mount & Blade, still active, offers many interesting mods for Warband, Taleworlds Entertainment continues to provide its set of extensions stand-alone official, as it takes to earn a crust. Developed by independent Sich Studios With Fire & Sword happens to us over a year and a half after its launch in Eastern Europe, which is hardly surprising given that it is based on the trilogy Ogniem i Mieczem (With Fire & Sword) by Henry Sienkiewicz. Welcome to the era of the Cossacks and the first gun!Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword is a Stand-Alone available for download for a couple euros, or boxed in at Focus bundle also containing Warband (potentially interesting for a purchase that had been deadlocked on the last extension). Although it was released before Warband in Eastern Europe (where it was edited by CDProjekt), we arrive in a revamped version includes many of the improvements of the latter, whether the boost graph Option multiplayer or single player additions. However, it does not Warband obsolete since it carries theater events from medieval times until the seventeenth century in Eastern Europe in flames.With Fire & Sword is therefore rooted in a historical context that applies to his solo campaign to adopt a realistic map. Unlike the utopian Caldaria, you will find cities, nations and borders real. Topography requires, the flatness of this part of the continent, which gives pride to the river valleys, making the landscape less diverse, but still likes to visit the capitals whose architecture has been faithfully reproduced (damage which they are a bit empty and littered with invisible walls). The conflict at the center of this expansion began in 1648 with a challenge for Poland threatened on all sides. Zaporozhian the Cossacks, who fought for their freedom, were forced to conclude an alliance with the Czar of Russia to cope with the Polish nobility. Meanwhile, the king of Sweden and the Crimean khan awaiting the outcome of the conflict by watching for the slightest opportunity. The ambitious leader that you has the opportunity to partner with one of the five factions (Cossacks, Poles, Russians, Swedes and Turks in the Crimea), knowing that the historical roots of background allowed the designers to propose three storylines scripted dependent nation to which you swore allegiance, and multiple endings that depend on your choice. This is an opportunity to meet the dignitaries of the era and relive some events such as the "Deluge."This extension tightly scripted nevertheless retains all its characteristics of play sandboxSince you will once again attend to the right and left an army for you and make you a name, before swearing allegiance to a flag and look to attack the enemy fortresses. Your first step may however be much more painful than in the past, and for good reason: With Fire & Sword not only allows you to train yourself in the arena or to gain fame by scouring the local tournaments, or recruit impunity in the small villages that cannon fodder that you used to turn into warlords in hunting the bandits. Now, your army is mainly composed of mercenaries that you must pay the balance each week (which greatly increases the cost of maintenance) and you can upgrade in providing them better equipment from specialized suppliers. That gives all its importance to the new system of economy and trade, which can borrow money (with interest) to grow his nest egg, or even to send convoys of goods to destinations more interesting. This add-on also offers other additions, the most significant are related to the management of fiefdoms or the conduct of the seats (why not bribe an officer or food poisoning?).

Summer Challenge Athletics Tournament test on PC
The best days are starting to arrive and with them, sports games come to our stalls. Thus, Summer Athletics Tournament we travel back into the hell of the multi-events, with or without friends. The problem is that the title has a few years late and fails very difficult to convince.
As it is somewhat useless to explain the principle of a multi-events, let's get straight to the subject, casting an eye on what's in store this Summer Athletics Tournament. First, we regret not to find a score of events spread across eight disciplines. A bit light compared to the 2008 Beijing offered 36 events. However, to lengthen life, 49Games had the idea to add 49 challenges. Unfortunately, the latter being necessarily based on events, they're tired very quickly. So, we prefer to engage in the typical career games stamped RTL Sports. In short, you will have access to all starting at two events and depending on your success, you unlock new ones. If there are various types of test (Exercise, Competition, and Duel Cup), we note that this contribution is somewhat artificial, the aim in all cases to win the challenge to move on. Same conclusion for multiplayer online just to confront the ghosts of players the same level. Confess that have seen better ... Beijing in particular.Regarding the tests, we find the very classic with large families of tests: running, jumping, throwing, swimming, diving, archery, trampoline and fencing. It is a pity that there were no gymnastics event or even table tennis. Anyway, in terms of playability, the app also against him a few caveats. If you will not be surprised by a gameplay among several similar events, there will be a little disappointed by cons with a few choices, particularly those regarding decision-speed (or power) which means stick (or Wiimote) to turn or agitate. If it works pretty well most of the time, it is sometimes difficult to maintain a good pace while performing another action. However, everything is a matter of training especially for the tests and asking us to do three or four actions before they can be crowned world champion. In addition, remember that depending on your level of difficulty (Easy to Super Hard), the grip will be more or less simplified. In sum, what bothers most about Summer Athletics Tournament comes from its lack of ambition, its contents altogether too conventional and its visual obsolete. Difficult in this case to praise or even recommend this product.

Call of Duty: Black Ops - First Strike test on PC
There remains to mention Ascension map for the Zombie mode. Again, Treyarch is very tortured by proposing an architecture with the ability to jump from one end to another level by using flying platforms. We even discovered some very stupid jokes at the turn of corridors before facing some tiny monkeys zombies (yes, you read correctly), substitutes crazy dogs of hell. In short, taken as such, the first map Pack Black Ops is of excellent quality, lining up a handful of cards very successful in terms of gameplay as well as design (considering that technically speaking, multi Black Ops is still very ugly). Yes, this is still very expensive for some maps, as successful as they are. But this, the old timers we will present perhaps the ideas in place, citing the so-called add-on Quake 2 or Duke Nukem paid a high price and that did finally only 7 or 8 levels Solo ... In short, if Activision is clearly not in philanthropy, it is not clear how criticizing the method. Indeed, fans who swear by Black OpsThe lines that follow, you can imagine, therefore, have a single purpose: to answer this highly existential these nice maps they really worth it disburses the tidy sum of 14 €? Before responding with violence by releasing a flood of insults in which an attentive ear could possibly distinguish the "purchaser in milk!" and other "abusette!", so take the time to review the contents of the beast. First Strike has 5 maps corresponding to the names of Discovery Stadium, Kowloon, Berlin Wall and Ascension, the latter being dedicated exclusively to the famous zombie mode. Now these 5 cards, I must admit, are of excellent quality, all clearly distinguished by their environment and their way of being played. Say what you want to Treyarch, but the fact is that the buggers have often been able to devise balanced multiplayer maps, easy to understand without basic, and have furthermore a true identity.
Even keeping that in mind, the fact is that First Strike could pass as their best achievement to date. Fans will appreciate the attention to such small details about each of these new environments. An example would be this kind of no man's land that splits into two Berlin Wall. Through this area without going through the two holes in the wall systematically trigger heavy fire from automatic guns. In Kowloon, in addition to the rain, the corners of vicious, most suicidal may try to cross the map using zip ... The simple fact of progress on this map is already an interesting challenge. In Discovery Card snowy relatively conventional in its structure, it will be possible to collapse an ice bridge and observe an aurora in the aftermath of a cave. As for Stadium, just being able to fight near an ice rink (but unfortunately not really above) is quite refreshing, not bad pun. In all cases, you will discover a multitude of angles and corners of vicious snipe necessarily accessible from one side it will be possible to block completely. In short, everything that is expected of maps balanced and fun to play.

Painkiller Redemption test in PC
The least we can say is that the Painkiller series has not really on a roll. After an exceptional first album, the license has not been declining slowly to finally reach a real abyss with the last episode titled Resurrection. Under these conditions, we could welcome the idea that gamers take over the series in hand and deliver a mod meets the sweet painkiller Redemption name. The result of this initiative has apparently packed JoWooD has even offered to edit the title as a Stand-Alone. The icing on the cake, the game is available for download for the modest sum of five euros. All the conditions seemed well and truly united to the delight of fans FPS wild and intense ... But unfortunately we must never rely on the good omens and enthusiasts are perfectly capable of doing worse than professional developers.
The basic idea seemed interesting, however: to design a way in which we would have to embody in turn Daniel, the hero of the first game, and Belial, the protagonist of Painkiller Overdose. Both have weapons fairly similar in operation but different look. We note in passing that the painkiller Redemption is content to recycle the arsenal of the previous album. Fans can still live with it, hoping to discover new enemies always the toughest. No luck, all opponents are also familiar faces. There is still a slim hope of crossing environments so that grandiose Gothic. The atmosphere is also usually one of the strengths of the series ... but certainly not in this episode. Indeed, the six levels you pass through are really simple maps Multiplayer cut into small pieces. Height of fraud, five of these environments are simply taken from the first Painkiller multiplayer. The only interest of the title is therefore the fact that you will have to face it incredible swarms of enemies in confined spaces. Admit that this argument is a bit light vendor: although the challenge is to go and even if the title is available at a modest price, you will certainly find something better to do than your five euros to invest in this game devoid of interest.

Medieval Sims test on PC
In Medieval Sims, the player has never assumed the role as enviable living god. From the beginning of the adventure, it makes you realize it's time to shape the course of these stupid humans by controlling turn ten heroes to unlock as and when, in a Kingdom in full heart of the Middle Ages. The first two hours of play you familiar with this new system, thanks to a tutorial a bit daunting, but necessary. Because it will no longer manage the life of a Sims or his family by ensuring that their little trivial needs are met, at least anymore. We'll see more, and think the Kingdom as a whole, it is certainly the first impression that emerges from the title, before settling our little habits ... You will not have to build your kingdom, which surprises by its small size and poor quality of its surroundings. And you'll quickly realize that the game is more focused on the customization of buildings and their decoration. If a user is present cabinet and includes tools and objects (a bit limited in number), in practice, it will tend to settle for the original award, the interest of the title based elsewhere, including the appearance of objectives, and management-light-your kingdom. From the beginning of the game, you will also choose a first goal for the overall objective among twelve, a sort of carrot motivating you to read, like "build eight buildings (mandatory target for your first game). Ambitions will then advance your kingdom between fame and conquest of neighboring territories.
But without a ruler to govern, your territory will not be worth a nail. You choose one of the available models of Sims, or create one from scratch, using the creator of Sims inherited from previous episodes. No scenery, the same kind of tools is present, to alter the look of your character. Three traits should be selected, both positive and more negative as coward, cruel or boorish. They induce changes in the behavior of your heroes in the way of life, bring in new topics of conversation ... and make some changes especially when your heroes lead to some good quests. For, and that's one of the major innovations of this opus, the game basically revolves around numerous quests to select, then make, and this in various ways, depending on the hero you've unlocked in namely the sovereign, the knight, the merchant, the bard, priests and jacoban pétérien, the spy, the sorcerer, doctor and blacksmith. Only way to access them? Mode is the Kingdom, one of three modes available (the others being furniture and Life), you can choose which buildings to build, by spending the points from the UK you have obtained by completing quests. But do not you pack, your talents, a major manufacturer will not severely tested so far, as well as your talents as a decorator. Medieval sims do not allow you to build anything using the tools introduced in previous episodes, and everything will therefore automatically. Some buildings are associated with heroes, which can then be created, and playable in the way of life, but only at the completion of quests that affect them.
You can not control other sims that those involved in the quest underway when you are in the lifestyle. Each task can be approached in various ways, depending on the hero you have in your possession, and some will even appeal to many characters. Suffice to say that the player has any interest to release them quickly in order to multiply the possibilities, and therefore the variety of gameplay . Each search costs points quest, but, if successful, you will win points from the UK (allowing to construct buildings), Simoleans and experience points, directly related to the hero concerned with the quest. These successes also affect the characteristics of the Kingdom, shared well-being, culture, security and knowledge. The player can then consciously choose his quest based rewards to get, but we will soon realize that this aspect is not dominant, and even has an interest on. In practice, it confines itself to chain quests in welcoming the development of his little kingdom, but without really attach more than that.
So in lifestyle that we spent most of our time, controlling a Sims (or even in more advanced quests using their various skills). Sims universe requires, every gesture of their small creatures may be driven from the changeover to the bathroom to play cards with friends. But while this aspect daily life has been emptied of its marrow, leaving room for activities related to quests. Only two gauges, no binding, were conserved, energy and hunger. Your Sims have, as in The Sims 3, states of mind affecting morale, and he can still go about their business, meet, seduce, marry, give birth ... without all these actions do really satisfactory, as they seem empty and unexciting interest, where the other episodes of The Sims were able to give us the impression of controlling the destiny of our Sims. A system of business is yet in the game, and every day, two tasks must be performed so as not to lower the morale of the Sims in question. They never proved exciting, and there just seem to believe that the player is not obliged to concentrate solely on his quest, and he can still attend to his other occupations. Indeed, it is not obliged ... would it still feel like he has. The aspect of "everyday life" really missing interest, blame the lack of evolution of our characters (despite the presence of ten levels in each profession, to be achieved through the points of evolution), it will be resolved quickly so our quest to solve one after the other, quite systematically.

Stoked: Big Air Edition
Winter is coming to an end and you could not enjoy the powder this season? It'll just put your mittens and hat in your closet and get out your trusty controller. Stoked is back in effect in an enhanced version that will satisfy without difficulty all sports enthusiasts Released at the end of 2009 the United States, the Big Air Edition Stoked has really dragged its feet for landing here. It must be said that Bongfish is certainly not the most famous developer and the basic game has not been a huge success. This proposed approach instead really interesting by allowing us to freely explore the great outdoors and taking a grip more "realistic" than its competitors. In short, Stoked was already a title that deserves to be known and appreciated those who had hoped to one day get their hands on this expanded version. So we can only congratulate Namco Bandai have finally decided to edit our shores this Big Air Edition that includes not only the entire contents of Stoked, but has also made some additions that are far from negligible. It must still begin by recalling that the rapidly gameplay Stoked to have little to do with that of Shaun White or SSX. It is not necessarily subject to chain tricks totally improbable here, there is a grip that is more realistic than other games in the genre and actually rather like that can offer series of Skate. The two sticks, allowing you to control the trajectory and the weight distribution on the board. For a jump must therefore begin to shrivel on his snowboard tilting the right stick back and then give a boost by throwing the stick forward. The triggers control both hands and can make grabs once you're in the air. When you are still grounded, you can activate to take your swing and to prepare a spin in the opposite direction. In short, the Big Air Edition incorporates of course all the foundations laid by the original game, including the opportunity to specialize in Hucker or styles based on the habits and preferences. We note nevertheless that the passage Bongfish developers took advantage of this new version to fix some Bugs and to make the weather a little more convincing. Stoked had distinguished for his gameplay but also for its approach: It allows to freely slide down five large mountains which could have discovered a multitude of challenges. The Big Air Edition uses the same principle but new challenges have emerged. We discover so many races against the clock, an event that many traditional players regretted not find in the original game. We also note the appearance of some marked trails. Rest assured, it is always possible to go wherever you want and also quickly unlock a helicopter that will allow you to run from anywhere on the mountains. These trails offer especially to those who were too afraid of open spaces to keep benchmarks and avoid getting lost. These additions are nice but the real novelty of the Big Air Edition is the arrival of two additional mountains which brings to seven the number of environments available. It will however have to be a little patient and to prove to sponsors to reach it, but it's two totally different from one mountain to another that will reward your efforts: Laax and K2. The first takes you through the Swiss Alps while the second is simply the second highest peak in the world after Mount Everest. In other words, both environments offer environments diametrically opposed: one is a very civilized place while the other is much more wild ...

Gemini Rue for PC
The first images and trailer Gemini Street have certainly had the same effect on all players who have known and loved adventure games of the 90s. All have felt a twinge in his heart, followed by a glimmer of hope to one day have a new bunch of pixels to be searched to find a sticky paper or why not a tiny red flag. With its completion retro Gemini Street can hardly hide his influences drawn from the point and click adventures from Lucas, Sierra and Delphine. The question now is whether it lives up or uses them only to tickle our fiber nostalgic.Before diving into the full test, it is worth recalling the history of Gemini Street. Not the game, but behind the game that some elaboration as Gemini Street is mainly the work of one student and that this is his third game - the first to know about such "popularity". Like its two predecessors, Gemini Street might well have remained confidential and never exceed a small circle of insiders. Yes, but here, the title won in 2010 a prize in a festival of independent games, and caught the eye of Wadjet Eye Games editor who decided to take the project under his wing. Professional actors are hired for dubbing the characters and the promotional machine turns on, hence the video mentioned in the introduction and our decision to test the title to share our opinions about the product.Very film noir at heart, Gemini Street takes us in yet a future where interplanetary travel are common to travel across the galaxy. The game opens in a medical laboratory. Tied to a chair, a man apparently on drugs undergoes force brainwashed. Who is he? Who are the doctors around him? Why he does it erase the memory? All these questions will be answered until much later. In the immediate future, the adventure begins pouring rain, accompanied by some Azriel Odin. With its waterproof, its casualness and especially the fact that he is looking for someone, the character goes to a private detective to whom he would certainly felt that finally the head. Azriel, however, is not a detective. It is simply looking for his brother and the contact he was to meet tonight is not there to give him the necessary pipe. The first moments of the game has already gone on the famous spot contact, then follow the trail of the missing brother for years. This mission will not, however, your only concern since early in the adventure, the game suddenly switches to the first set, one of the laboratory of the introduction. The action starts soon after lobotomy and the player controls this time the poor victim, a Delta Six to believe the voices that spew the speakers. It takes no more than a few seconds to realize that we are in a testing center, closer to jail than the rest room CNRS. Detained for some reason he ignores, Delta Six follows the instructions of his doctor and attended daily training programs to firearms, the only way for him to win meal vouchers to use in the canteen.So here we have two characters with the ability to move at will (almost) from one to another. The two heroes are very different as well as their environments, and almost the way they play. One thing is common to both stories: the success with which Gemini Street manages to draw us into his world black and depressing. For Azriel, the sets are dark, damp, filthy almost as it evolves in a city controlled by a mafia group. For Delta Six, we are in a much more sterile, when it does not seem to have much to do. To be honest, the first moments with the detainee are destabilizing because the prisoner's routine takes precedence over the player and one feels almost compelled to follow the directions given by the doctor. There is however a bit more to do than it appears in the center. One example in the company of Delta Six the player become familiar with one of the smaller components added to gameplay point and click traditional.So here we have two characters with the ability to move at will (almost) from one to another.

Warhammer 40.000 : Dawn of War II : Retribution
After allowing us to reconnect with gaily through the forces of chaos Chaos Rising stand-alone, small guys from Relic Provide cover with another cake filled with grunts to knock out and powerful weapons to collect. Retribution named, this new app - which does not require the base game to run - has the distinction of offering a single campaign with 15 missions, with each of the 6 playable races available. Space Marines, Orks, Tyranids, Chaos Marines, Eldar and Imperial Guards same - newcomers to dance - and will bend to your iron will and give you many hours of pleasure.Before entering the heart of the matter, let the good news: Relic has finally rid of the infamous system for Games Windows Live hated players to team up with Steam. This means that only the login Steam is necessary to start the game and the multiplayer is now based on a new system Matchmaking Steamworks way. For that alone, Retribution is therefore more flexible and engaging as its predecessors. But flexibility does not only this aspect crass materialism! Indeed, the game has the distinction of offering a single campaign of 15 missions that fits his narrative, objectives and opponents depending on which side you've chosen to play. The idea is interesting, but it necessarily implies a less well-crafted story, with events taking place in exactly the same for each faction. Only dialogue between the various protagonists change really. It feels so much less involved than in a Chaos Rising by example.Basically, the only thing to know the story is that it takes place 10 years after the events of Chaos Rising and that the industry is still in Aurelia full fair paté. Perspective rather gratifying part of a strategy game, you will agree. Because if history is not as sexy as usual, gameplay Dawn of War is meanwhile still effective. So, we must recognize that the same resume multiple times by changing campaign faction proves rather amusing, because as you know, each side is controlled quite differently than others. That said, the little guy from Relic do not confine themselves simply to develop new and fairly linear levels filled with scripts. No, the real find is finally the introduction of mechanical issues multiplayer Dawn of War II missions solo classics.The game actually allows you to capture control points on each generating resources map or to knock out boxes that contain them. Once a few points in the bag, then is not going to capture a teleporter or a building under construction on the ground before using the resources accumulated to order squads of basic (not a hero so they should be linked ) or vehicle. The legitimate concern of the coup, is that the game turns into one of these STR where lambda is just finally consolidate a large amount of privates in the same place and throw them on the enemy and forget any notion tactics. Except it is not. Production of troops is in fact limited by a pop cap low enough (30 or 50 depending on the mission) and the fact is that adding one-time troops will allow you to change the direction of your tactics during the game, which was not necessarily possible with the Space Marines. Any player of Dawn of War II remembers having to start a new game after realizing that the troops initially selected were not appropriate. In short, the idea is not so aberrant that it can and undoubtedly bring some flexibility to the game
Rift
The MMORPG is currently in search of his second wind. For new entrants, it is no longer even try to compete with World of Warcraft, but to find ways to survive beyond the first year of operation other than switch to a model Economic free to play. It must be said that the players begin to tire of multiple creative and refuse to pay for experiments too similar to each other. It is in this particularly difficult spell Rift MMO unoriginal fed various influences, which focuses on the viability of a monthly subscription. The bet is daring.The risk is certainly great, but it is measured. For if it is developed by a young Californian studio, Rift is paradoxically the work of the oldies MMO. Co-founded by Jon Van Caneghem (the dad of the Heroes of Might & Magic has since left the ship), Trion World has indeed in its ranks former NC Soft and Sony Online Entertainment, including Bill Trost Beliaeff and Nicholas, two of the creators of EverQuest. Suffice to say that the first MMO the studio could not start from scratch! But besides that, the game does not hesitate to borrow good ideas right and left. The background reminiscent of Aion gameplay sights set on World of Warcraft, the fault system and invasions owes as much as Warhammer Online Tabula Rasa collections come straight out of Everquest II, etc.. One could cite many other references, but the important thing is whether Rift able to digest the influences which it feeds, and so beyond its composite aspect, it manages to offer a gameplay consistent and find a real personality.ift takes place in the fantasy world of Telara particularly unstable. Long ago, people had humanoid united to repel the dragon regulos terrible, god of extinction, and servants of the Bloody Tempest. They had managed to banish all the pretty people in the plans and build an impenetrable barrier, the Veil is supposed to protect the future of this threat. Alas, in a terrible civil war that divided the humans, a power-hungry prince followed the will of regulos and caused a powerful explosion which had the effect of slashing the Veil. Since the world is plagued by frequent attacks of the dragon god and his servants, which weaken and tear the magical protection. Open faults regularly everywhere, spilling hordes of creatures from the plans. To make matters worse, the people of Telara are divided: whether the two factions, the Guardians and Renegades, each trying to save the world, their beliefs and their methods differ, so they compete almost as often they struggle against the invaders planar.The game offers you to play as a Chosen, a legendary figure rose to liberate Telara threat of Bloody Tempest. Depending on which faction you choose to belong, you have a background and a different prologue. But you must first create your avatar, Starting with choosing one of three people related to each faction (Mathosien, Elf and Dwarf Guards side or Kelari, Eth and Bahm Renegades side, with some racial traits in the key), then selecting one of four archetypes available: warrior, cleric, rogue and mage. It will do more than define your physical appearance through an editor sufficiently complete, but that is not what we've seen better in this regard. It must be said that different breeds are quite typed (away from the basic look is often equivalent to spoil his character), but the character design lost somewhere between Lineage and Everquest 2 does not much paradoxically emerges as an artist. Same observation in game environments, varied and well arranged but probably a little cold.Although the two starting zones are securely scripted, they may serve the game as they give the impression of engaging a MMORPG lambda and does nothing to demonstrate its merits. Novices will appreciate slowly probably take their marks, but the old pros will feel (which hopefully will fade thereafter) to engage in a common clone of World of Warcraft. It must be said that the gameplay is very Rift close to that of Blizzard's hit, which is in itself a compliment to the resolution of fighting in the arrangement of quests through the management of inventory and the overall design interface, borrowings are evident. Everything is so simple and so natural, and that was the wish of the team Trion, who wanted his MMO as accessible as possible. But the comparison stops there with WoW (or almost) to the extent Rift offers an evolution of character and a lot more interesting PvE much more demanding. His two strengths are undeniably its system of souls and its mechanisms of faults.he system of souls, for starters, offers real flexibility in developing your character, in a surprising MMO Western and oh so appreciated! Your avatar has in fact three different specializations (from a possible eight in each class), among which you do not need to switch: you get together all the advantages they give you and all the skills (active or passive) you've unlocked in the trees for that purpose. To take one example, the thief can be both Sharpshooter (specializes in ranged combat), Ranger (with a pet to send the body to body) and Bard (capable of booster his companions). That's what refine your style of play, knowing that you will still try to find the right balance between flexibility and specialization. Especially that as you invest points in a given tree, you unlock extra abilities on his "roots", which allow you to specialize even more if you so desireThe system of souls thus gives rise to innumerable combinations, some of which will of course be much more viable than others. You can actually "miss" your character (although a re-specialization is still possible), especially since obtaining your three souls occurs fairly early in the progression. And that, it is priceless! Moreover, several features are in support of this ingenious concept. You should know that you can enjoy a soul dedicated specifically to PvP : There is one by archetype, which can replace one of your three classic soul and give you bonuses when turned towards confrontation against other players. You also have the opportunity to purchase a second role, which allows you to give other specialties to your characters and switcher then freely between the two profiles depending on the situation. The increase in Rift is darn interesting, especially since the game, particularly rich in quests, never compelled to do a tedious farming so you can level up.

Crasher
We must recognize that Mindscape has not always distinguished by the quality of its productions in recent years. He is such gems as the adaptations of Beijing Express Welcome to the Sticks ... The editor seems determined to change its image and has even founded the studio Punchers impact by ensuring that he would now have the means for us to offer securities that match the refined expectations of players. The first offspring of this new policy is simply Crasher. This account MOBA well put a little spice to our PC we offer to participate in arena battles aboard combat vehicles. There is no doubt we are actually far from the usual productions published by Mindscape.Not bother to bother with a semblance of scenario, we go here in the heart of the matter without addressing the context of these famous battles conveyed. The game between two teams and still currently offers two distinct modes. The first is akin to the conquest and the zone defense, the team with its zones longest wins the most points, while the second is equivalent to a team deathmatch classic, this is all just to blow the enemy vehicles. We could find our happiness with these two modes, but unfortunately it must also be satisfied with a number of maps very small: there's currently only one arena for the zone defense and three for deathmatch ... We recognize without difficulty that these environments are nice enough: not only are they overflowing with details of all kinds, but they also benefit from the effect of cel shading in Borderlands is the most beautiful effect. But beauty is not everything and it is hoped that developers will soon too to upload new maps promised.If one tries to find a richness in diversity or Crasher is definitely in the wide range of vehicles available that can have a chance to find it. It is indeed a total of fifteen cars each with unique features that are offered. These cars are divided into six distinct classes: one specialized in support while others are dedicated to attacks from hand-to-body or remotely. A bit like an MMO , three to five vehicles that make up a team are all supposed to have a specific role. Logically, we should end up with a game strongly oriented teamplay but unfortunately the result is a bit more chaotic than expected. The fighting quickly turning into effect anything great, handling is modeled on that of MMO does not really suit the requirements of an action game, the skills of different vehicles are not balanced at all ... Ultimately, the games move quickly to large mixed at which one can see very well what he is actually happening. Complete history of the table, it should also be noted that the game's servers are deserted most of the time, even now that the game is offered at 15 € instead of 30 € which were requested to launch. Keeping the best for last, we can not help but notice that Crash is beautifully true to its name as it is still riddled with bugs and crashes that unintentionally and repeatedly.
Back to the Future: Episode 102: Get Tannen
To avoid any complaint, if you do not make you spoiler the end of the first episode, do not read the second test! Well, now that we are among sophisticated people who know that Marty McFly is not death under the wheels of the DeLorean, we can start. Like every time Doc and Marty visit the past, it was inevitable that their walk in the Hill Valley of 1931 caused a series of disasters. Get Tannen! therefore follows the story where we left off, namely in the company of Marty's eviction in full space-time continuum due to premature death of his grandfather. Your first task here will be set so that little detail by preventing lords Kid Tannen beat to death Arthur McFly and thus ending the line. And hop, a little bit of wrench and voila, the space-time continuum is repaired, everyone can go back to 1986 to find out ... in fact things are becoming worse and that the family Tannen has become a real mafia. Guess what? We leave in 1931.Without going too deeply into the scenario, we will simply explain that your goal is to ensure that Kid Tannen finish his days in prison, and for this you will need the involvement of Arthur, singer and Trixie the police officer traumatized you (actually) Parker. After a first episode marked by the personality of the young Doc Brown, so it's vile Tannen who is this time in the heart of the plot and plays perfectly its role of bad guy. With a somewhat more perilous, the story takes a pace perhaps a tad less than the plane-plane It's About Time and shows even more interesting. We appreciate, as expected, you can visit a new environment, the private club kid, or take advantage of new angles on those we already know. It does not change the substance, but it reduces the feeling of déjà vu. As the end of this second episode, he gives damn want to see tumbling down thereafter. Overall, we find ourselves with the qualities of pleasure It's About Time, namely faithfulness to the spirit of the film, the atmosphere and quality of dubbing.But inevitably, there are also the same defects. If these are riddles and puzzles that you want, go your way. The difficulty level is somewhat similar, sometimes a tad higher maybe and interactive film orientation is increasingly felt with very short phases of the game all that is more linear and longer animated sequences. Moreover, in addition to being simple, some puzzles are downright recycling already used by Telltale puzzles (see the puzzle disks Sam & Max Devil's Playhouse). Nothing very serious to the extent that eventually it is clear that the game is for fans of movies and not really fans point'n click . However, two things are quite regrettable. The first is that transportation problems are particularly vivid in this episode. The fact that we impose movements guided by invisible walls and choice of camera angles sometimes misguided often proves difficult. The second detail that annoys is that Get Tannen is even shorter than its predecessor with just over 2 hours of play at the counter. Finally, keep in mind that the full game includes 5 episodes and life will be judged on the entire season, but we hope that Telltale will not make us wait too long before delivering Citizen Brown.

Heroes Might & Magic VI
Before we let take charge Might & Magic Heroes VI, Ubisoft has cracked a little speech to explain some details about the genesis of the project. The first clarification concerns simply the name of the title. Why on earth not to have retained the traditional name of the episodes, namely Heroes of Might & Magic? A priori, it was only a practical issue for the public to identify more directly the relationship with all of Might & Magic games. Ubisoft has also shed light on his decision to entrust this sixth episode in Black Hole Entertainment. The studio had in effect two significant assets. On the one hand, it showed a significant experience in making strategy games, plus a taste for the universe heroic fantasy. On the other hand, he already had a motor home capable of good performance, without being too greedy. It should be clear now, Black Hole was an ideal opportunity for the French company. And if a change of developer is always worried, the result has greatly reassured.Assuming a proud heritage of his ancestors, Heroes Might & Magic VI has a particularly strong and rich universe. Anxious to show fidelity to unassailable throughout the series, the developers took care to write the script in one respect background already well established over time. The events took place 400 years ahead of the fifth element. The player will follow the fate of five children of the Duke of Slava Griffon, each representing a faction. The cast includes Anton Therefore for the Harbor, Kyril has joined the Inferno, the necromancer and Anastasia finally Sandor, a member of the Bastion, which notably includes orcs, goblins and Cyclops. Regarding the fifth faction, the mystery remains. Ubisoft has leaked any indication, keeping a few more weeks to jealously secret. To create the script with a set of keys we will not be delivered until much later, the developers have put forward several television series that inspired them. From Rome to the Tudors via The Accursed Kings, the influences have obviously been many. It is true that we find in this sixth installment of the springs are common to these TV shows. Starting with the complex links between members of a ruling family. We also think the multiplicity of conspiracies policies governing the operation of Ashan. The events recounted in Might & Magic Heroes VI in any case provide additional lighting to all the fans still eager to learn more about the series but laymen are not so far forgotten. It is indeed quite possible to discover this world without feeling completely dropped. Finally, note that the five campaigns, each containing four mapsAre interconnected but the player can discover them in the order it wants.Side gameplayThe game retains the overall normal functioning of the series, a few details. We thus find our hero, cruising the maps in search of treasure, parts for their equipment, recruits for their armies and enemies to fight. Since we're at it, the clashes are taking place obviously turn based, with the former, the order in which our troops are moving is always determined by a private bar at the bottom of the screen. It therefore moves his units one by one on a kind of chessboard with a number of boxes. Always hiding behind the decorative elements to avoid projectiles balanced, long distance, calculate every move to avoid being the body-to-hand combat with an enemy too strong or even exploit the strengths of our troops while trying to find a response to their weaknesses. Like the fifth episode, the hero for his part remains physically outside of the fighting. There may however take part in attacking an opponent or using magic. Last size precision on fighting, boss sometimes think your way. In sheer size, they require a number of turns to be defeated and therefore generate significant losses in your troops.But the gameplay Heroes of Might & Magic VI also includes the collection of course resources. The latter include the ability to build buildings in your town whose utility is manifold. This gives the possibility to significantly increase the harvest of raw materials, strengthen your defenses or to form new units, ready to fight by your side. When it comes to putting one foot in an enemy city, the game switches to headquarters. On the screen appears the building in question, a kind of rampart with enemy troops stashed behind. It must then engage in combat at a distance by a maximum of damage to his opponents while waiting for the catapult projectiles lying beside you end up happily teasing the walls of the opponent. With you to complete the work by penetrating the walls and slaughtering the survivors. After the victory gained, the game lets you have the choice between leaving the city as it is to benefit from its advantages in the state or convert your faction in order to produce units and use them as of a kind of forward base on the map. The other big advantage associated with the capture of a city is that it allows you to immediately garner the resources that are linked. To summarize crudely, every city has power over everything that surrounds it. The win gives you then hand over the area. Finally, it is possible after a successful siege immediately recruit some members of the local army and integrate your troops. In our case, although some brutal orcs and goblins really too puny joined us to confront a common enemy.Ubisoft and Black Hole have also claimed to have deepened the side RPG series. The least we can say is that the system is complete. After each battle, the conquering hero gain experience which will enable it to pass levels. At each level, it will allocate skill points through a tree that is divided broadly into two parts. On one side all the capabilities in five Might different families (Paragon Realm, Tactics, War Cries and Warfare) and any other terms in the Magic side, this time with seven categories (First Jurisdiction , Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Darkness and Light). Obviously, each jurisdiction will be important. Some boost the economy of your kingdom, others will increase your stats or inflict direct damage to enemies. The skill tree also contains a third part that contains the credentials associated with the class or the faction of your heroes. These powers are automatically earned this time. In parallel, there is also a reputation system very interesting. In the world of Heroes VI, there are two opposite ways that heroes can borrow. One type is the path of tears and the other that of blood. Depending on your actions throughout the adventure, the heroes earn reputation points that will tip the balance toward one or the other side. One player who will tend to act defensively, to heal his allies, to spare his enemies will take the path of tears. By conducting themselves in a more brutal, making the weapons speak consistently, you will choose the path of blood. The appeal of all this is that your actions have an impact on history but also on the gameplay. Each channel gives you access to unique quests, new companions, a map epilogue different but more importantly, to advanced classes, each with its own powers and a specific design. The nature of the way you unlock depend on your faction but also the orientation of the skills of your hero (Might and Magic). A champion Might Havre begin such as Knight and Paladin can evolve it took the path of tears or Vindicator has elected to that of blood. Obviously, it takes more than just a demonstration is limited to the map serving tutorial to test this system. Nevertheless, the idea is already very attractive on paper.
Finally, you can not finish this preview without talking about the visual aspect that has significantly increased in density. The environments are colorful and teeming with detail. Pass this milestone chart moreover improved the readability of maps. We can now see directly the power of a city with a single glance. Practice to evaluate the bitterness of the battle that follows. The animations have received for their special care and are generally very successful. Finally, the soundtrack is really haunting, melancholy melodies and rhythms alternating epic.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
The Deus Ex FPS sauce RPG, To be released in a few weeks, like Deus Ex to ten years ago since become cult, advance on land as exciting frightening. It deals with the effect of transhumanism, biotechnology, cybernetics, all concepts that converge on one principle: the fusion between technology and the human body, a source of improvement of human capacities, mainly physical, but not only. The game has repeatedly exploited the vein, with for example Half-Life 2 and Bioshock to name just two, but where a hit Deus Ex is that it throws us into a very credible lies in the very near future. On the one hand technology advance by leaps and bounds, the other chaos, terrorism, conspiracy progressing inexorably.Diving into this world for two to three hours (the first moments of the game), it can not refuse, especially since the first Deus Ex was released in 2000, a model of freedom of action, was the model developers. David Anfossi, the producer of the game's announcement at the outset: his team was given the instruction to play in this episode of the cult and the end is whether the Human Revolution was under influence! But history reassure players who have never touched, he added that the plot of Deus Ex: Human Revolution is not connected to that of previous games. Only the mind, gameplay and context are imported.So in this new episode, the player plays Special Agent Adam Jensen, ex-swat a bit taciturn to the monotone, serving Sarif Industries (visit www.sarifindustries.com), a biotechnology company flourished somewhat overwhelmed by activist groups-terrorists. We are in 2027, Adam released just six months in hospital, so spruced Steve Austin (for the youngest, he is the hero of a cult series of the 70s: The Six Million Dollar Man). He returned to service immediately for a first mission: to manage a terrorist attack with hostage-taking in a production unit increases. That's the beginning.n body parts such as the skull, torso, eyes , legs, arms, back or skin. How to choose? Simply a function of the direction we want to give his character: some improve combat capabilities, others develop the skills of infiltration, while still others have a social dimension (eg persuasion through a discussion) or influencing skills hacking hero. Four directions (two main, two secondary) that constitute the essence of Deus Ex: This is to offer the player total freedom in how to conduct missions. Compete in the heap nag, move quietly emphasizing the vents or by knocking out the enemies one by one, using hacking (mini-games) and discussion with non-player characters to get key information: to him make his choice.The gameplay promises therefore to be unique for each player, especially since it is impossible, physically and financially, to acquire all the existing increases. Thus, between the vision improved to peer through walls, legs to run faster, jump farther or not to make noise, lungs immunized against toxic gases, the dermal armor that reduces damage, the system " Icarus "useful to jump high, the capacity of persuasion, invisibility and dozens of others, it will make crucial choices ... while also taking into account energy consumption, very variable, of these elements (they will not avail you nothing if you do not have the energy to run them!). Also note that for some Praxis addition, some modules already acquired can be improved more. For example, the Typhoon system that triggers an explosion at 360 ° leaving on the floor all humans within a radius of 8 meters, can be "upgraded" to eliminate the heels all robots present. Convenient, no?The choice, again, invites himself especially during the briefing missions in order to always offer the player to complete his mission as he sees fit. And to quote the first we discussed the attack on the production unit with hostage taking, the discussion that engages with the head of the security forces moved to opt for a lethal weapon or non-lethal a ranged weapon or body to body but also the priorities and secondary schools. The choice can be agonizing and the question can be posed in these terms: Should we save the hostages or not? You should know that if you decide to let them die during the mission or on the contrary, if you save them all (it is better to exercise discretion in this case during the discussion with the terrorist leader), your choices will affect the following tasks as the outcome. Anyway, the discussions will be many and the player will be regularly placed in front of critical choices.One mission in addition to the introduction, it is certainly a little thin to say with certainty that Deus Ex is the height of his ancestor, but it is nevertheless sufficient to get an idea rather positive. And in any case say that Eidos Montreal team has left nothing to chance to recreate the atmosphere like freedom of action of the original Deus Ex. It is easily caught up by the hero and cyberpunk atmosphere that reigns over the city, to close your eyes a little over a questionable artificial intelligence and graphics which is not unique. Finally, note that the approach is clearly preferred infiltration into the game and a system for cover, only to be used if you wish, is particularly useful for examining the surrounding discreetly, as the camera goes into effect in the third person. The complex, difficult enough in the end (there is little ammunition and power modules to be recovered in closets and on the bodies of enemies), is estimated at 25 hours of gameplay, according to the designers.
New Fallout Vegas: Dead Money
Dead Money takes us on the trail of the Treasure of the Sierra Madre, a casino located in southeastern California near the Mexican border. As usual, it's a radio message broadcast from a bunker on the Brotherhood of Steel, which lets you enter the thread of the search once the DLC installed. A warning alerts you when you arrive: the contents of the extension is for characters level 20 and over (you can quite get there before, but at your own risk) and once through the door bunker, you will be unable to return to the Mojave before we've finished this new adventure. And for good reason: only did you come to the origin of the message you pass out. The man who knocked you is Father Elijah the Brotherhood of Steel, which has plans for you. And you obey him wisely, he has endowed you with a collar bomb that can trigger remote. Charming!
Your mission is to bring Elijah to the treasure of Sierra Madre, a casino high-tech once designed by a visionary leader and charismatic but somewhat marginal. Residential villas surrounded by beautiful Mexican style, the place would be opened when the nuclear disaster occurred. Since then, despite toxic fumes spewed out by the former permanent air conditioning system, the ruins have not been totally abandoned: they are squatted by a strange people, the "Misty" at the sight of ghostly survivors who have adapted to the harsh living conditions of these places and now there stalking unwary treasure hunters. To arrive at the casino you infiltrate a highly secure real stronghold teeming with vicious traps and monitoring of holograms, you will need support. Elijah, who definitely believe in everything, has "recruited" three other unfortunate victims, equipped with the same necklace you: Dean Domino, a ghoul former star of the show biz a bit narcissistic, Christine, a human devoid of vocal cords communicates through sign language, and finally Dog / God, a super-mutant who suffers from a split personality. This is a very diverse team with which you deal yet!
Your journey consists of a dozen quests, takes place in three steps: First you must pick your companions in the district where they reside, and then coordinate the efforts of each to trigger the opening ceremony that will open the doors of the casino and finally conclude your case, will suffer some complications of course. The challenge offered is particularly pointed, including Hardcore mode. The Misty are formidable opponents, stealth, bouncy and somewhat suicidal (they do not hesitate to use their incendiary hand-to-body), which are until they have been dismembered! As for monitoring holograms, they give you the opportunity to use your talents discretion. Invaded by toxic fumes that eat away your vitality, places are full of vicious traps also sometimes difficult to detect. And as if that were not enough, radios and speakers causing interference with your collar, which can explode if you stay too long in the area or if you do not destroy them quickly. Your partners share some useful talents well face the inconvenience, but as they are with you at each turn, you do not always cover all these skills.
With a background solid and a heavy atmosphere, Dead Money disappoints yet at its gameplay, Entirely focused on action. You spend a lot of adventure to wander the streets or houses in ruins by delivering multiple battles against the fog. Phases of dialogue are ultimately scarce, and even if they involve some interesting choices, the role playing aspect is not sufficiently emphasized. This extension still allows collectors to get some original weapons as holofusil, lance knife or punch bear trap. You can upgrade your equipment and purchase supplies by connecting to vending machines to supply chips with the Sierra Madre. This currency, which is found everywhere, is also behind a successful unlock, like the hidden briefcases Dean whose research can significantly lengthen a life that revolves around 5 / 6 hours of play, finally aware that Dead Money offers support that contained a welcome feature that almost alone justify the investment: the ability to climb up to level 35 and unlock some unreleased talent. Fans will appreciate.

Emergency 2012
The new Emergency had to take advantage of the imminent end of the world, still scheduled for 2012 as everyone knows. Thus, while showing the roots of its predecessors, the app will then invite us to coordinate rescue units to intervene in places particularly emblematic of our good old Europe. An interesting idea that unfortunately is not necessarily very well exploited.
our mission, should you accept it, is to help poor citizens bullied by a gaggle of more or less natural disasters. The backbone of Emergency 2012 is composed as a campaign of 12 missions that take you to intervene on the outskirts of Cologne Cathedral, the Tower Bridge, near the Eiffel Tower collapsed or buried in a Munich snow. The game will even confront us with scenes of panic, rebellion or insanity induced by the imminence of the supposed end of the world, as in mission 10, which presents us with religious fanatics determined to organize a mass suicide Mallorca. In short, nothing will be spared in a game that at first glance looks just like a good old STR. The difference being that instead of testosterone-heavy grunts and tanks, verification of doctors, firefighters, paramedics and members of law enforcement.

No luck, the controls seem a bit rudimentary to permit relatively comfortable approach to every problem. For apart from the opportunity to highlight the urgent goals (such as a serious injury about to stay there) by pressing the space bar, Emergency 2012 is not much with its interface for your convenience. This observation may also unfortunately apply to the whole game We mentioned earlier that your flock are unable to take any initiative, well in the same vein, victims does not appear to self-preservation and generally expect to die like hams. Certainly, one can understand the bias in the early missions, but when you need to start some tight because a rascal in perfect health will not understand that staying next to a burning building is not good health, then you may be less inclined to indulgence.
The problem is that all these elements are ultimately only one of many flaws of the game quote pell-mell the will of app you impose old Cut-scenes In-game impossible to take you away sometimes what you were doing without pause to the game. A super nice element when officiated aboard a lifeboat near a giant vortex in the flooded streets of Hamburg. Half the time, your ship will end its unique crazy epic underwater, thus ending the mission. The only workaround for this problem is to learn each part of the course by heart and be placed accordingly. In fact, rather than disaster, this is the game itself that you end up fighting ...
Fortunately, Challenge and Free Play modes are a bit level. In both cases, you must manage your resources, buy your own response vehicles (fire trucks, ambulances, armored police vans decontamination, etc.). And try to save as many people in knowing that if you plant it and let the innocent die, the game will not end as long as in the campaign. The Free mode suffers from a slight lack of balance, because if the problem remains constant, the magnitude of the "disaster" is to be treated fairly random. It can then spend time cleaning the ravages of a dirty bomb before you spend time on things as insignificant arresting pickpockets. Challenge Mode proves a tad more interesting, sometimes by imposing manage multiple emergencies at the same time, while leaving much more room for error as the campaign. There remains to mention the multiplayer, which really boils down to a free mode playable coop. Nice on paper, this method actually proves difficult to practice online, players are as scarce as hair on the head of Fabien Barthez. In short, you have understood, if not everything is thrown into Emergency 2012, but the experience is too limited to persuade completely, especially since the sale price is actually not so small that it .
our mission, should you accept it, is to help poor citizens bullied by a gaggle of more or less natural disasters. The backbone of Emergency 2012 is composed as a campaign of 12 missions that take you to intervene on the outskirts of Cologne Cathedral, the Tower Bridge, near the Eiffel Tower collapsed or buried in a Munich snow. The game will even confront us with scenes of panic, rebellion or insanity induced by the imminence of the supposed end of the world, as in mission 10, which presents us with religious fanatics determined to organize a mass suicide Mallorca. In short, nothing will be spared in a game that at first glance looks just like a good old STR. The difference being that instead of testosterone-heavy grunts and tanks, verification of doctors, firefighters, paramedics and members of law enforcement.

No luck, the controls seem a bit rudimentary to permit relatively comfortable approach to every problem.

The counts double XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops
The FPS Call of Duty: Black Ops speak of him again by offering players one of these weekends of madness he has the secret. As from Friday 19 pm until Monday and at the same time, your every action in multiplayer will earn you double the experience points as usual on PC 360 and PS3. It also takes the opportunity to signal that the game boasts a new patch over 360 since yesterday, which should make it more stable. Another fix is expected in the coming days on the Sony console.
After the success of almost indecent Modern Warfare 2 and then the big quarrel between the developer Infinity Ward and publisher Activision, the other studio that takes care of the Call of Duty series seems determined to impress, and to truly capture the license. Probably tired of being often regarded as second fiddle only able to fill the holes.
Good to stop this crap ok?! when I see comments from some who are more absurd genera there that play on console "(kind of joke, all keyboard + mouse for FPS)," Graphically, it's uglier than 2 MW (m has the good laugh that you go to buy a bunch of ignorant config) and so if I for 3 hours the game is good: is taking.
