Guild Wars Nightfall - Game Review (PC)
By George Petrisor
Published: January 10, 2007
Print Guild Wars, one of the most played MMORPG games, received a new expansion named Nightfall. This expansion adds new content to the players. Six months after the release of Factions, NCsoft gives its players a new realm to explore, Elona.
The settings
The action takes place in Elona, Land of the Golden Sun, where evil has a special plan for this region. An evil outcast god is responsible for the whole situation and the people need a hero to rise and destroy this menace. For the third chapter, the developers (ArenaNet) prepared interesting and new things for the players. Two new classes are now available, the paragon (guardian angel of the Elonian people) and the dervish (a scythe-wielding holy warrior). They can be played along with the other classes to defeat this evil god and stop his madness. Along these new classes, the developers introduced the heroes, some special henchmen that are at your disposal and can be customize as you see fit. They will level with you, aid you in battle and can even be customized regarding their skills, spells, and even the equipment, allowing you to create a party as you see fit. Up to 3 heroes can join your party, allowing you to play solo more easily if you want it.
New competitive modes have been added. The new Hero vs. Hero Battles, where your custom group of Heroes, fight against other players from around the world and their Heroes to gain points. Three new challenges are also available.
Elona is divided into five major areas, each filled with hundreds of quests, giving you no time to get bored. Istan, Kourna, Vabbi, The Desolation, and The Realm of Torment are there to keep you tense and alert. There are new items to be found, new skills (over 350) from which only 75 are for paragon and dervish, so new builds can be created.
All this ensures hundred of hours of gaming, so let's move forward.

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.
Tornado & LightHouse PhysX Mod maps for UT3 ready for download now.
Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
