| | | Mech Warrior 4: Vengeance | | Posted Sunday, September 10, 2006 2:29:43 AM by BlogJeeves Team | | In the beginning, FASA created a miniatures game that featured humans in the far future piloting 30-foot giant robot tanks called BattleMechs. The game was called BattleTech, and it was good. Then Activision assaulted our PCs with MechWarrior, a sequel, a handful of add-on packs, and MechWarrior: Mercenaries, and it was great! Then, MicroProse got the computer game license and gave us MechWarrior 3, and it was OK--not quite good, but also not bad at all. Now, Microsoft has bought FASA Interactive and the BattleTech license. So FASA gives us MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, and folks, it's awesome. MechWarrior 4 casts you as Ian Drusari, the nephew of a powerful duke, who returns to his home world from the Clan Wars to find it occupied by a rival noble family: House Steiner. You must launch a civil war and reclaim your birthright as you command a ragtag army of awesomely armed, 40-foot-tall, 80- ton, 90-mile-per-hour BattleMechs across the remote battlefields of your hostile world. Not a bad tale to tell and Microsoft made sure the telling would play as well as it looks. The graphics are flat-out amazing. Lighting effects, smoke trails, smoldering Mech armor, laser discharges, and missiles all look incredible. You can fight in deserts, arctic regions, forests, and even on the moon: all look sci-fi-movie perfect. Mechs have more animations than ever before as well. They stomp across the battlefield and reel from weapons fire convincingly, and when the cannon fire finally punches through their armor, they light up like Christmas trees. Thermonuclear Christmas trees, that is. The Mechs are faster than in previous games yet you still feel like you're piloting a lumbering, walking tank--this is a Mech combat simulator, not Quake III in power armor. The controls have been simplified, but this is a good thing. It used to take a long time to learn how to pilot 100 tons of armored death, but now the controls are much more intuitive. No longer will players have to cycle through weapons lists; now, each weapons group is controlled by its own button on the joystick. We recommend Microsoft's Sidewinder joystick, as the game's controls were written with that stick in mind. The enemy Mechs in the single-player game play well. Both your allies and the enemy use their Mechs' capabilities wisely and provide a challenge throughout the game's long and entertaining campaign. Multiplayer is offered via Microsoft's easy-to-use Gaming Zone and there is also an Instant Action mode that'll keep you playing long after the campaign is over. MechWarrior is back and looming large over the gaming scene. --Bob Andrews Pros: Immersing techno-feudal storyline Excellent balance between simulation and action Challenging, yet easy to learn. Cons: High system requirements Sometimes cheesy voice acting ... | |

| | | Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Standard | | Posted Friday, September 08, 2006 4:27:22 PM by BlogJeeves Team | | Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, Standard Edition is the latest version of Microsoft's highly realistic aviation simulation--the top-selling PC flight simulation ever produced. FS 2002 introduces many exciting features, including interactive air traffic control (ATC) and auto-generated scenery, plus challenging new aircraft and stunning visual enhancements that truly make Flight Simulator 2002, Standard Edition "as real as it gets." Flight Simulator 2002, Standard Edition includes a wide variety of aircraft for you to fly--from a new Cessna 208 Caravan floatplane to the Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet. You can splash down in a lake, hover in the Bell 206B JetRanger III helicopter, practice aerobatics in the Extra 300S, or fly like a famous World War II fighter ace in a Sopwith Camel. FS 2002 Standard includes a total of 12 aircraft.The most dramatic new features common to both the standard and pro editions are the interactive air traffic control system, crowded skies, and auto-generated scenery.The interactive air traffic control feature adds a new dimension to Flight Simulator. Now you can ask for takeoff clearance, get vectors for an instrument approach, and hear other traffic as you fly. In fact, the "other traffic" is itself a new feature: a new artificial intelligence system generates air traffic around and between airports.It'll be hard to pay attention to the air traffic, however, as the scenery in FS 2002 is so attractive. As you fly above cities, towns, farmland, and dramatic landscapes, Flight Simulator adds buildings and vegetation appropriate to the terrain below. Office buildings, factories, homes, farmhouses, and trees smoothly blend in on the horizon and fill the entire area with detail that adds unprecedented depth and reality to the game.Other features include more than 21,000 airports, multiplayer capability, improved weather effects, a moving map and GPS system, in-depth flight analysis, and more.... | |
