Game: Overlord

This game took me a little longer to finish: two days.

The game itself is actually pretty good but not that special. I had expected a bit more from it: being more evil for example.

Pros:

• Nice story.
• Minions.
• Graphics are decent.
• Sound is nice.
• Maps and environments are awesome.
• Will remind you of Dungeon Keeper (and Fable too).
  

Cons:

• Not evil enough.
• Very, very linear. No replay value, apart from the different endings (which you can watch anyway by installing RADTools).
  
• Could do with a bit more spells.
• Just needs more tweaking, Overlord 2 could be something really worth your while tho, so why not pick up this one?
  

Savage Released For Free!

That's right, S2 Games has released Savage 1 for free! It's a great multiplayer game - a mix between FPS and RTS. Two sides (Beast and Human) fight to take control of the map while the Commander of both sides is giving orders and building structures and controlling the players just like an RTS game.

It's easy to learn pick up. But hard to... aim :).

And the best part is: for Linux too.

Game: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade

I've playing a bit of W40k-DoW-DC over the past few days. It's still a great game with fast-paced action. It's especially enjoyable when playing quick skirmish or multiplayer battles. ("Okay... one more game.") But the single player campaign is nice too.


If you've picked up the original and the first expansion, I suggest you definitely buy this one too. It is a stand-alone expansion though: so you can play it without the previous ones...

I still need to try Company Of Heroes. And I can't wait for Supreme Commander too.
