Dungeon Siege is currently what has my every waking thought. Damn I love this game. If you have played games for a while the pedigree of this one alone is merit to pick it up. A guy named Chris Taylor made the game. Taylor also did the best Real Time Strategy(rts) game ever called Total Annihilation.

Dungeon Siege is an action rpg kind of like the Diablo series. But then it’s nothing really like Diablo. I’m not going to blab on and on about this game. Here are the shots (1024×768):

Pay attention to the last screen shot, it has one of the things that makes the game great in it. The packmule. This alone makes the game special. That last shot I have everyone loaded with loot. Man it’s cool. You really just have to play it to understand. I will worn you that the Dungeon Siege is one system hungry game. You better hope you have the hardware to run it. Here is a great fan site to find more info if your interested in it.

Freedom Force came out on Tuesday. That wasn’t enough for me though. Yesterday Jedi Knight II hit stores. Me being the Star Wars Geek I am had to pick it up. If you like Star Wars and you play computer games consider this one a must have. It has it all graphics, story, and of course the fact your a Jedi. As per the usual with these kinds of post, here are the screen shots(1024×768):

I tell this is one great looking game. The sound is also dead on. To me that’s important in games like this. If it doesn’t sound like Star Wars then what’s the fun? And the game is fun. It’s also a little hard. The levels are huge and I keep getting lost. Again I say go and grab this game.

OK the official Hotel Giant site is up and running. I went over there a few days ago and there was nothing. If your interested in this hotel sim this would be a pretty good place to watch. They say the full version hits stores on may 17th.

Man that Freedom Force is awesome! It’s a comic book geeks wet dream. It’s a squad based real time game with rpg elements.

The demo has two levels. The first level takes place in a big city park/downtown area. The first mission also serves as a tutorial. It’s so fun picking up cars and flinging them at bad guys. Or belting a baddie with a lamp post.

The second mission takes place on a aircraft carrier that had been frozen. You can use up to four hero’s in this one. You can also make your own superhero to bring in to the game. You can customize your hero with all kinds of powers.

You can grab this demo at 3D Gamers. They put up a mirror. So you don’t have to mess with Fileplanet.com. This download page will let you choose from the big or small versions of the demo.

I’ve been following this one for a while. It’s a honest to god super hero game for the pc. Super hero games for the pc have been doomed for some reason. This sucker has gone gold and is supposed to be in stores by the 27 or 28 of this month. Here is a pic and a description of the game Freedom Force:

Crave Entertainment, Irrational Games, and GameSpy are excited to bring you the demo release of Freedom Force. Set in New York City circa 1962, Freedom Force is a tactical RPG that bristles with the over-the-top action of classic comic books. It’s up to you to form and lead Freedom Force, a team of superheroes capable of standing toe-to-toe against insane villains who are hell bent on crimes that range from bank robbery to world domination! This demo contains two missions and a character creator.

You can download the demo from Fileplanet.com. A warning about File Planet, you have to register to be able to download stuff from them. Fileplanet.com has two flavors of the Freedom Force demo. There is a small(56.1 MB) and a large(87.4 MB) version to download. One has music and the other does not.

Renegade is a game I mentioned before briefly, saying I went to Lan Planet to play it. I didn’t mention what it is. Renegade is a FPS (First Person Shooter) set in the Command and Conquer universe. C&C is a RTS (Real Time Strategy) game. An idea I thought was cool. The game is out and it’s been getting so-so reviews. I think it’s fun enough. This one is really for people who dig the RTS C&C. As per the usual here are some shots (1024×768):

A warning to those of you with XP that this game has been a little finicky running. There has been a few patches out that have had a so so effect on making the game more stable on XP.

Here are some more Star Trek Bridge Commander screen shots. These 1024×768 shots show off each of the bridge stations. Tactical, helm, engineering, science, and your first officer. Plus a shot of old big nose Picard thrown in as a bonus. Picard acts as the tutorial in the demo.
