Another DLC will be released in June for one of the best-selling games for PC – The Sims 3. In fact, I believe that The Sims 3 is the best-selling game for PC… However personally I don’t understand why so many people like this game. I’ve tried it once, played it for about two hours while repeating to myself “I will like it, I just haven’t seen all that’s available in it.”, but unfortunately I hated it even after that. [...]
I haven’t played Crusader Kings 2 yet, however the Ruler Designer DLC sounds pretty neat. On the other hand, it eliminates one of the game elements that the developers created in the first place, and considering how Paradox Interactive creates their games, the rulers probably were created in an image of real-life rulers. Personally for me, that adds a lot of fun to the game, but then again, creating my own character would likely be more fun than that anyway. [...]
It seems that Mount & Musket will be released as a DLC for Mount & Blade Warband! After some googling around, it seems that Mount & Musket was an extremely popular mod for Mount and Blade Warband, which is now being remade into a DLC by a new company formed from the very same mod makers – Flying Squirrel Entertainment. I wonder if the fans who made it will get royalties from the developers for using their idea, I think it would be only fair. However most likely the mod belongs to the developers, as it was created by using their game. That’s one of the reasons I’ve never took modding, I don’t feel comfortable when my work doesn’t belong to me… [...]
Path of Exile, an amazing free to play Diablo 3 clone (and usually I hate clones!), will be doing an open beta stress test this weekend. I’ve tried the game earlier, and I loved it. There were some annoying features and bugs, but 0.9.7 patch seems to have fixed some of them. It seems like Grinding Gear Games are determined to make Path of Exile a competitor to the upcoming Blizzard’s title – Diablo 3. [...]
As I’ve announced earlier, Gettysburg: Armored Warfare would be released on 27th, so here it is! The game looks really cool and is relatively cheap, it costs only $10. You can buy it at various digital distribution stores, but since most of you are Steam users anyway, you can use this direct link to Steam store instead. [...]
It is very pleasant for me to see indie developers rising. I don’t know why, but it is pleasant. In this case, it is pleasant to see that Paradox Interactive is making it’s way up the ladder pretty quickly, and along the way Paradox is creating a variety of great or even amazing titles. Currently my favorite titles are Magicka and Defenders of Ardania, as both of these games are very innovative and unique in my opinion. [...]
Good news for those who were interested in Gettysburg: Armored Warfare, as it’s set for release on March 27th and it will cost only $10. In my opinion this is a great price for a game that will release developer support after the release and a bunch of modding tools, no to mention the fact that it’s a multiplayer game. [...]
Good news for crafting and MMO fans – beta registration for Salem is open to everyone. Not only that, but if you will bring at least 3 of your friends through your referral link, you will ensure your position in the beta testing of Salem! The beta starts in April, and Salem is scheduled for release in Q3, 2012. [...]
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will be released this Friday (March 23rd) for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles. Windows users will to wait until May 18th, which is set as the release date for the PC version of the game. I sure hope that it won’t be a cheap console port – 2 months should be enough time to at least fine-tune the controls and change the icons in the game menu or the hints. [...]
Close-to-release-date DLCs seems to be getting more and more popular. Fortunately not all developers (EA and Mass Effect 3 anyone?) are trying to make to make money out of them. Capcom offers a free-of-charge DLC for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, and from the sounds of it it’s going to be a really cool and nostalgic DLC! [...]
