Still Cleaning Up (Part Three)

Getting tired right now but I'm determined to get a few more games tried out before I decide to call it for the night. I've just tried out Two Worlds 2 and was pleasantly surprised that I did enjoy the opening level for it, the story is pretty decent so far and the opening cut scene was great. Of course there are quite a few bugs with the guys but I knew that was coming since all the reviews that I read before I bought it did say that was the problem, but anyway it's above average and so it's going into the keep pile. Might even put it on the list to play soon since I was enjoying it until Xbox Live disconnected and me fail the tutorial lock pick which meant I was stuck, hopefully next time will work out better.

So it's 50/50 right now with two to keep and two to trade in, next up is Knights Contract another RPG.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow the trailer on the game menu for Knights Contract is amazing, witches, demons and a town being ripped apart by them. Very gruesome in some part but looks amazing none the less.

Ok this game is for the keep pile, the game play is pretty much close to God of War which is one of my favourite all time games. Story is pretty sweet so far and the controls are not hard to understand and work well. Story involves a immortal knight that hunts down witches, undead, demons etc and from the looks will be working along side a good witch to save this poor town that's been overrun. Already unlocked two achievements and was starting to get into before I stopped myself, think I have another game for the play soon list.

Anyway time for a small break and to make myself a cold drink, getting really warm again and I wish the weather would just make it's mind up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just played the opening level for Legends of Troy, not sure why I even put this on the list to try since it's exactly the same to Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors (two of my favourite games). So as you can guess it's on the keep pile, some of the combat moves seem a little lacking compared to the Dynasty Warriors as in they feel sluggish but then I have been playing the more updated Warrior games.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hunted the Demons Forge is next and the loading screen as already got me won, it's giant cavern city with a black dragon attacking it that's breathing lightning. Also helped with the opening trailer showing huge cities, a beautiful open world plus a giant underground land filled with monsters and dragons.

Yeah this game is for the keeps from the start, the controls are brilliant and yet simple at the same time. Just been playing the female elf with the bow which is basically aim with the left trigger and shoot with the right trigger. Looks like the story based around two bounty hunter/treasure hunters, nothing really as been revealed yet and I did not get too far in mostly because I was tired. Yes it's tomorrow, this post was started last night but I got tired and still had a few games to go.

Anyway so another good rpg to add to the list to play, blimey I've got some games to get through but I'm glad the games where not all a waste of money. So that's five good games and two games for the trade in pile, next up will be Dungeon Siege 3, finger's crossed it will be another good RPG. That reminds me before I went to bed last night I made a small list of games ready for the second clean up pile to go through, was about to go to sleep then a load of game names came to me.

Hunted: The Demons Forge

Well I had to wait for the TV since it was recording this morning but I've kept myself busy with a few blog posts and I've also updated the stats for the year as well. Now that the TV as finished the Xbox is just currently loading up Dungeon Siege, not sure what to expect from the game.

It's a top view dungeon crawler (think a bit like Diablo), graphics are not too bad and the story could be interesting. Seems you are one of the last surviving members of the legion who was killed by the villain, it's year since that event and the land is torn by war. So my guess is you going to restart the legion and go after the villian. Either way seems decent enough so adding this to the keep pile, I tried out the warrior class and it was enjoyable. Look at the enemy and press the green button to attack, shoulder button to change weapons. Nothing outstanding really to shout about yet but it is the start, anyway that leaves me now with only two more games to try out. Divinity 2 and Agarest are the last games and I will be starting with Divinity since my Xbox is currently on, my bets are on that I will keep it since it's a RPG that looks similar to Oblivion and Two Worlds which is the type of game I like.

Oh my god I forgot about this game! the menu trailer is currently playing and it was showing some epic fights going on then it showed the player transforming into a dragon. Now I remember why I bought this game, it was so I can play as a dragon, think we all know where this game will be going.

Started the game up and first thing I do is attack the chickens in town, even got XP for them plus loot (chicken leg). Interface/controls remind me of Fable yet the graphics are like Oblivion but not as good, I did pick up Divinity 2 The Dragon Knight Saga which comes with this one I'm playing with everything upgraded (heard it's a lot better too). So far though it's not a bad RPG but story as not really kicked off, looks like I'm training to be a Dragon Slayer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just had an hour break since my head was killing me again, I did get a little further with the Divinity game and even did some training by killing Goblins. Looks to be a promising RPG so yeah it's staying in the keep pile, cannot wait to try out turning into a dragon. Also this means when I do find out Divinity 2 Dragon Knight Saga that can stay in the keep pile as well. So one more game left to go and then that's the first pile done, took longer then I hoped but after the mess with setting up the Wii and the fact I've been blogging everything it makes sense.

Agarest (Generations of War Zero) as started like an episode of a Anime series which is pretty sweet in my books but I am left confused what this game is meant to be about. I know its a JRPG set in a fantasy setting and thats all I know, guess there is only one way to find out.

Woah ok was not expecting anything like this, story is basically twelve gods made the land but they where not perfect which meant the land was not perfect. Like in most stories the gods went to war and so did the world, eventually they found peace and so did the land but it was split thanks to the fighting. Now once again the forces of darkness fight the forces of light, so it's the typical good vs bad scenario but I'm shocked because the graphics are old school.

Also the voices are in Japanese with the writing English, was a bit shocked since I was not expecting but very cool. I like the old school RPG's but I never really finished one, the image above is from the Agarest Wikia and looks like the combat is turned based but not got to that stage yet.

Right just did the opening battle in the tutorial, it's a grid base battlefield and take it in turns to move then attack. Plenty of stats to keep track but an awesome game none the less, love the old school RPG's so yeah this is going to the keep pile. Although I do wonder how this story is going to pan out, will it be go after the dark forces to stop them or take on the gods.

So I've finally finished the first pile of clean up games and out of the ten only two where not for me, so not bad at all. Think I will take a break to have myself some lunch and relax from the computer, then I will start the opening post for the second pile which I need to do dig out.
