GAMEPLAN

Review from the perspective of a casual collector of video games: is the first “PC”, the IBM 5150, worth buying today? A run-down of the history, pros and cons of the system and games, what to look for and be aware of when buying, as well as some of the other 8-bit computers and revisions in the 5150 lineage. MS-DOS has never been so fine.

Classic Game Room HD reviews RISE OF FLIGHT the First Great Air War for PC. This WW1 World War 1 flight simulator is one heck of a game chaps. Drop seven pillars of whoop on enemies with World War 1 airplanes like the Spad and Niuport 17! Fly WWI missions with a variety of planes and machine gun observation balloons, other pilots and everything that you can see. The scars of trench warfare are below you as you fly over no-man’s-land and bomb cannons. Visually stunning with an enormous amount of detail, Rise of Flight will be a dream come true for many flight game enthusiasts. With all of the “easy buttons” turned off the game is a flight simulator where your plane is batted around in the wind like a paper airplane. You can adjust difficulty and tweak the physics to make it more arcade-style, which is what I did. Gameplay is relatively smooth, sounds great and packs an enormous sense of scale and realism. This CGR review of Rise of Flight has gameplay from Rise of Flight showing airplane combat from World War 1 in this WW1 flight simulator action video game for your computer! Works with flight stick or keyboard (use a flight stick). You can turn your guy’s head around and look out the plane with the mouse. Outstanding graphics and details in the cockpit, could have used more monsters though.

My Review of Ravensword: The Fallen King for iphone/ipod touch. 9/10 $6.99 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ravensword-the-fallen-king/id335594384?mt=8
Ravensword, is a hybrid between action/adventure and RPG. BEAUTIFUL smooth 3D graphics, immersive game play, solid controls that are somewhat awkward in combat and sandbox play. You can talk to anyone and go anywhere. The fact that it is non linear is a major plus for me. You cannot customize your character, you can’t choose classes like Mage or healer like you can in other RPG’s but this didn’t adversely affect my enjoyment of the game. It’s heavier on Adventure than RPG and I don’t think this takes much away from Ravensword.

I have not reached the middle of the game yet but from what I HAVE played, this is a solid, beautifully made game with coming updates that I look forward to. This might take you several hrs in total to complete or more depending on how much time you spend on it. I wish it had character voices.

Highly recommended for RPG fans! Even if you have Dungeon Hunter and Crusade of Destiny. you should buy Ravensword because there is an expansion coming out in the future!
