Runespell Overture REVIEW !

Hey guyz Teodor here. Today I shall review Runespell Overture.
What is Runespell Overture ? . Well as the developers promoted it , this is "a role-playing game combining poker mechanics with power ups and collectable cards,".Yeah , poker . And damn….it works(well at least for a while) !
So the idea of the game is that of 2 characters(The Changeling (also known as the hero ) and another creature/ warrior) fighting to the death through a game somewhat similar to poker .
So how do you play it. Well there are two decks , the top blue one ( or the players deck) and the bottom red one (or the enemy deck). You must use your cards or your opponent unstacked cards to create different poker hands to damage the opponent . Even though your opponent cards aren’t revealead when you take the one on top , it is still pretty awesome to play with him , by limiting his moves . So the moves – damage chart is the following :
Pair – 8 dmg (two cards of the same value + 3 unranked cards)
Two Pairs – 9 dmg ( 2 pairs and 1 unranked card)
Three of a kind -10 dmg (3 cards of the same value and 2 unranked cards)
Straight – 11 dmg (five consecutive cards)
Flush – 12 dmg (all cards are from the same suit.)
Full house – 15 dmg (A pair and a Three of a kind )
Four of a kind – 18 dmg (4 cards of the same value and 1 unranked cards)
Five of a kind – 20 dmg (5 cards of the same value)
Straight Flush – 40 dmg (Five consecutive cards from the same suit)
Royal Flush – 50 dmg ( 10 – J – Q – K – A , of the same suit)
The Chest that appears in every encounter (except the tutorial ones) can only be opened by a pair . (only one pair , not two pairs and not a full house )
Your stats are displayed at the top left while your opponents stats are displayed at the top right. The blue orb tells you how many action you can do , the green bar represents your health , and the rage bar represents your mana. Rage is gained equal to the value of your attacks and half of the value of the damage received.
You do not get experience and level up. Instead you get passive cards that give you bonus health and rage . Sometimes this makes the game very hard , wich might be unpleasant for some players.
I think the fact the the battles , whether or not they are against an epic death bringer stone and a grunt are both very long and similar , making the game feel repetitive.
The graphics are gorgeus and even though they are not 3D , the 2D style works really well.
The music is really epic and enjoyable and it resembles the theme of the story (the year 1000 A.C. , Norse mythology , etc.) . The story is a bit of a cliché (you wake up with no memory and you start a journey trying to remember who you are) but this game is not about the story. The thing that seems out of place is the dialogue with lines like “Super”, “Cool” and with the reference to your enemies as the “bad guyz” seems out of place . I guess the developers tried to be funny …but It didn’t work that well.
Another issue would be the fact that the game has no multiplayer. I mean how can they do that ….The multiplayer would have been easy to implement , at least lan , if not online .

In conclusion I would say the game is a mediocre game , that has its good and bad (still not game breaking ) parts , and I would recommend buying , since it is only 10 $ . And it is worth playing , at least for a while. So the game gets an overall score of 7 from me . Please leave your comments bellow and tell me what you think about the game.

CHEERS !.

Duke Nukem Forever Review

Before i review the game i want to tell you that i am one of the "Babies" . I mean i haven't played the first duke nukems.:)
So frankly i find the game boring . I mean i played the game for about 6 hours . During that time i spented at least 4 hours driving a toy car , eating donnuts and peeing.
From what i understand the firs Duke Nukems were phenomenal because of the violence present in them and because you killed lots of different monsters. In this game i barely shot some monsters (and there were only 2 of them , the one at the begining and another one that was spammed like 30 times in 10 min around my base ).
The jokes are old , with no charm and the graphics are for games for the year 2006 , 2007 top.
The storyline is just dull and boring , filled with bad jokes just to fill up the plot.
In conclusion , with indulgence , i would give this game 5 out of 10 stars .

CHEERS !

Reviews / Game news commentaries

Since I saw that those are pretty popular I will try to improve my ability to do them , because I really enjoy them. Currently I am working on a Runespell : Overture review and a Prototype review. They will come out as soon as I finish the games.

I also want to start a League of Legends Commentary series since I enjoy the game a lot and there are plenty of thing to say about it.(tutorials for every hero , like Mordekaiser , Teemo or Renekton (3 of my favourites). I am thinking of releasing 1 video Tutorial per week (1 hero) because in that time I can master the hero . So most probably the episodes will come out on weekends or on Mondays .

Those are my announcements for today. Please leave a comment bellow letting me know how you feel. If you want to add me to your LoL friends list , I play on Europe North + East under the summoner name Malighos (same as the login ID).

Walkthroughs / Playthroughs

I will post a walkthrough / playthrough of Starcraft 2 Wings of liberty and maybe one of Warcraft 3 + expansion .
Once Diablo 3 and Star Wars The old Republic come out I will start playing and recording those also :)

I am I

I am I will be a new series in wich I talk about my opinions about the world , the aliens , the inhabitants of earth , the universe , and other random stuff. It will consist of episodes uploaded once a week at least ( Friday most probably ) , except for next week when I am in Greece on vacation :)

L2P Age of Conan Unchained Series CANCELED ! (Announcement one)

First of all the L2P Age of Conan Unchained Series is canceled... Why? Well there are a number of reasons that come into my mind right now.

First of all I do not enjoy the game as I did at the beginning. I find that it became boring and repetitive ( go there , kill that , steal that ,etc) . I know that my character was a low level character but still I played the game for a couple of hours in total.

Another reason would be the fact that I do not enjoy making a fool of myself that much (I mean about once a month it is good …but not as much as I did with the Age of Conan series. ) . The videos weren’t that succesfull either. I mean in a month (5 july – 4 august) I got 971 views(in total) and with my very crappy Emily the strange Skate strange review and with the Diablo 3 Auction house video I got about 700 views in 3 days…soo you do the math ( I know the review sucks but everyone learns from their mistake. For example I learned to write the review first , but only after playing the game for at least 4-5 hours (to get a good impression of it) . After that I correct it and finally I record it . )

The last reason that I can think about right now to stop the Age of Conan series was the fact that I recorded some gameplay , and the microphone wasn’t plugged in correctly and the audio was way more crappier than the usual J . And the hole point of the series was recording all the gameplay I do from level 1 to the max level. So those are my announcements about Age of Conan unchained.

If you do not know what the series is about you can check the recorded episodes here : 

Announcements

Hey guyz Teodor here . I have some announcements to make , and since there are pretty big (well for me at least) i will make a separate post for each one of it .

Mists of Pandaria !!!!

Hey guyz Teodor here. Todays video brings breaking news. Multiple sources say that a new trademark has been claimed by Blizzard , The Mists of Pandaria.
Will it be a new expansion that will bring a new race , the Pandarian ? We do not know. The only certain thing is that this won't be a book since the trademark is made for online computer video game software !.
Anyway it is said that they were taken out of the clasic / vanilla wow just because it would upset the asian people , because they did not like the image of pandas , skeletons, demons, etc .
There are a lot of speculations about this race's alignment (if it will be a race) . Will it be Neutral , will it be Horde or will it be Alliance.
Some people say that the Pandarens will be Alliance and that the Horde will get the Dreadlords , also know as the Nathrezim , Wich i do not now if it will happen (Remember the Varithramas - Undercity event and the fact that in warcraft 3 campaing a pandaren brewmaster aligned with the Horde)
Others say they will be a neutral race that will chose a side between leveles 10-20. Some people say that in this expansion you will get a hero class ,  considring the pattern : Burning Crusade - New Races , Wrath of the Lich King - Hero Class , Cataclysm - New Races , Mists of Pandaria - Hero class ,  the pandarens will be NPC's and we will go to save their ass in Pandaria. So basicaly they would be something like the Walrus in Northrend.
Anyway nothing is clear right now except that some online video game software (an expansion most probably ) with the name Mists of Pandaria will be released  in the future. Please leave your comments bellow and let me now what you think .

Here is an image of the official trademark document : (click it to enlarge )

Until the next time , Teodor out.

My starcraft 2 Signature

I'm so good b-) :)

Diablo 3 Auction House and other features.

Yesterday i found out about the Diablo 3 Auction House , and i must admit i am not surprised. As always , Blizzard , drolling after more and more money decided to let people sell items in the auction house for real life money . But there are some catches . First of all you need to give blizzard some cash so you can sell an item or some of your profit (it was unclear wich) and you will be able to use that money that you earn to pay for blizzard services like WoW accounts and other blizzard games. If you want to transfer those money to your credit card , well then you have to pay another fee...so you get the point....its just like the map market for starcraft 2 , only this time with items. I also heard that they might let people sell their charachters....

My question is...where will all the fun go. Because lets be serious , who would sell items for in game money . Also there are those rich guyz that will just buy the best items , or , if possible , a premade charachter . And i think that is really unfair. Me and others will have to farm hours for items (since there will be an extreme variation of them) to get that one that we just dream about , and a guy will just spend some dollars to get something better....and that is just sad....

Also the fact that you cannot play the game offline / in singleplayer is another thing that i dislike. Why? Well what happens if i want to play the game and my internet fails . Or what can the people withouth internet do?

About the skills manevrability i am not that sure. I mean it will make the game easier for a lot of people , but in the same time it will allow players to try a lot of different combinations , withouth the necesity of creating a new charachter for each build , wich is pretty nice . 

There is also a crafting feature , a feature that i actually look forward to it. I mean i have a great feeling of acomplishment when i found a rare recipe and with it i creat a great item in other games , and i do not know why it wouldn't be the same here. 

So this were my impresions for some of the features the upcoming video game Diablo 3 will have.

CHEERS! .

Emily the Strange - Skate Strange REVIEW !

Hey guyz , Teodor here . Today i will Review Emily the Strange - Skate Strange . So what is "Emily ....Strange " ?
Well it is a slide scrolling 2D skateboarding game in wich you control a small goth girl , called Emily ( at least i think she is Emily ). I like the artwork but the graphics could have been better . So i give them a 7 for this category . For the gameplay i will give them an 8 because even though it is challenging , sometimes it is to hard . For the sound i will give it an 8 because i enjoy that punk music , but the "blip blip " sound that you hear when you score some points is pretty annoying . For its unicity and atmosphere i will give it a 7 cuz even though you don't get often to play a tiny goth girl on a skateboard , there are a lot of other flash 2D slide-scrolling skateboarding games that are pretty good to .
So the overal rating for this game is 7.5 , wich i consider that is a decent rating .


NOTE : I am a begginer at the reviews department so i hope i did ok with this one :)

Age of Conan Unchained

Three days ago i started my new L2P Series : Age of Conan Unchained :) Check it out on my youtube page :

Star Wars : The Clone Wars Republic Heroes

Another older post i found :)


"Ok guyz i finished Star Wars: The Clone Wars Republic Heroes and in my opinion it is very unrated.It has a prety good story line and the graphics are prety good ,because they intend to be like the tv show.If you say that this game is a lego star wars copy or that it sux because it got a low note on gamespot first play it after that talk...And it also has very few bug...i camed across 1 bug 2 times in the entire game and i think that is prety good...the bug is that when i fall the hero grabs on something and i cannot move him."

Batman: Arkham Asylum

This is an older post on a different blog of mine and i thought i should share it with you guyz


What can i say about Batman: Arkham Asylum? Just WoW. The graphics are amazing,the storyline is very good,the gameplay is epic,and i never found a bug. I am very sad that after i finished about 45-50% of the game i had to reinstal my windows and all my effort was lost.Still I Hightly recomend that u play this game because it ROCKS.(here you can find Batman: Arkham Asylum trailer http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/batmanarkhamasylum/video/621606/batman-arkham-asylum-launch-trailer).

Plants Vs Zombies Review

Ok i played this game like a year ago and it was very funy.PopCap made a most enjoyable and supercute action game , with lovely graphics , good gameplay , funy plot , great minigames (like potato bowling) , very very very small size and it's a good game to waste your time with.
You are a little gardener and sudenly the zombies atack you.To show they gratitude for watering and taking care of them,the plants help u defeat the zombie.I recomend that u buy this game because it is very cheap , or get it from the internet(^^) .
1 thing is clear : YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME ^.^ . If you do not play it u will miss a lot of fun.

Finally !

UHU finally , i finished MASS EFFECT 2 ! :D With all crue getting out of the mission alive ! HELL YEA . Like Joker would say : "YOU SONS OF BITCHES " :)))
Anyway i will start now the game on hardcore ( Dnk why but i will ) and i can't wait for the MASS EFFECT 3 game . :D

Until the next time , CHEERS ! :D

How to play snake ...on Youtube :D

           A lot of you know what the snake game is :D (the one where you control a snake and you gotta eat dots lol ). But not all of you know that you can play this game on youtube videos !
           How you do so ? it's pretty easy. there are 2 ways :
 I . Pause the video . Go at 0:00 time at video . Press the right arrow . While you are pressing the right arrow press the up arrow to. Tada you can now play snake on the video :D
II . Pause the video . Go at the end of the  video . Press the left arrow . While you are pressing the left arrow press the up arrow to. Tada you can now play snake on the video :D
Remember you have to be pressing the right / left arrow while you press the up arrow . Otherwise it won' work .
              Now go and enjoy a snake game on your favourite youtube videos :D

Alexander Rybak

        Who is Alexander Rybak ?
        Alexander Rybak is a singer from Norway that won the 2009 edition of eurovision.
        Do you like his music ? If yes why ?
       I like his work because when he does it he seems happy and it is like he puts soul in it, not like many singers today .  I mean his voice isn't the best in the world , but he has charisma , and that helps him a lot .
        Would you recomend your friends to listen to him?
         Yes i would . His music is peacefull , calming the spirits and because he has an unique voice , that is a pleasure to the ear.

Youtube

      I am sure that most people that use the internet have heard about youtube.
     What is youtube ?
     Youtube is a social network where people post videos for entertainment or for personal gains (money , fame ,etc ).
      What videos can you find on youtube ?
      On youtube you can find music videos , how to videos , gameplay recordings , movies , commercials , all kinds of stuff . This site is realy great for learning and entertainment.
       Do you use youtube ?
       Ofcourse i use it. In fact it is one of my favourite websites out there.
       Why do you use it ?
        Honestly i am hoping to get some money out of my video's views as soon as possible . Still i need more subscribers T..T
        

        In conclusion i could say youtube is a pretty cool site  its only downside being the copyright isues of the videos :D  

Cool Games

     One of my favourite games is a video game , Starcraft II : Wings of Liberty.
     Starcraft II is a strategy game that features three very balanced races : The terrans , the protoss and the zerg.
     The game has a singleplayer mode that features challenges and a campaign focused on humans and a multiplayer mode.
     The campaign , even though it is foucsed on only one race , the terrans , it offers up to 15 hours of gameplay with high replay value and a compelling and intriguing storyline that makes you attach to the characters and their destiny.
     The multiplayer mode is a piece of art. it offers a wide variety of gameplay : from battles against other human players or computer A.I. to killing zombie armies with one man.
      Even though the three playable races are very balanced each has a very unique gameplay style.
      For example the zerg ( bug-like creatures ) are the best rush race(early game attacks) while the protoss have some of the best mid-late game units .
      The graphics are beyond wonderful, charming the eye and making it get lost in the special effects .
      Also the sound effects and the voices of the characters are top notch , being a true pleasure for the ear.
 

Hy people.
