Gameplay: 72
The main missions are not very different, and everything resumes in killing more and more enemies. The place where you fight against a gang will turn right away into a blood pool. That's because you can dismember or even decapitate the enemy, by shooting him, but the way it is shown is far from reality. It gives the impression that you shoot puppets instead of real people. Being a convertion, the game suffers a lot. The mouse aiming method is far from being smooth causing you troubles in killing the enemy while you use an AK47. Even the menu is the same as in the console version and when you want to enter the cheat code you have to scroll through the letters to spell it out. Driving a car around the city is far from being fun as in GTA series, because of its handling. Though the handling should be arcade in such games, the movement of the car should look much more realistic than in this game. Forget about a real damage system implemented to the car, or high jumps above buildings. Even when you destroy the entire car, its explosion will not impress you.
Graphics: 68
Looks even uglier than the old Vice City. Except Tony, all the other characters are looking edgy and lifeless. The design of the city is similar to Vice City but too fragmented.
There are no loading areas but you have to drive too much to get from one district to another. The districts are more like islands connected through bridges. There are not so many type of cars, so don't think that you will encounter some unique models.
Multiplayer: N/A
Sound: 78
To my surprise, the game has a good sound. With a 5.1 system with THX support, you will get a good atmosphere of the game. The soundtrack contains songs from the movie but also some new ones, like Cypress Hill. Real actors were used to give life to the characters like Bam Margera, Ice T. or Jason Mewes. Even the voice of Tony sounds like Al Pacino although, they didn't use him for this game.
Hardware: 74
Although the game looks old, you will have problems while driving around the city. I had moments when the framerate was under 20 fps, although it was tested with 2,0 GB RAM memory.

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.
