Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom

Posted under Games

Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom
Games of Chinese but use language :English

Emperor is a fun and satisfying management game, but it is primarily the same fun and satisfying management game as those that have preceded it.
Each entry in Impressions’ city-building series has been an incremental upgrade to the previous one. The series improved dramatically with Pharaoh, the first game to leave the Roman confines of the Caesar games. The series improved even more significantly with Zeus, which added more-creative mission goals and downplayed the military element, which had previously been a problem with the series because of the cumbersome combat interface. Zeus had a few of its own problems, but it introduced so many great ideas and features to the series that it seemed like a promise of even greater things to come. Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom breaks this promise. Instead of improving on Zeus, Emperor plays it safe by returning to the earlier games in the series. Developed not by Impressions but by BreakAway Games (whose previous work includes the Cleopatra expansion for Pharaoh), Emperor is much like Pharaoh, with a few of Zeus’ additions thrown in for good measure. Though it includes some improvements of its own, it also brings back a few frustrating issues from earlier games. And some of these problems–such as the combat interface and the aimless wandering of your workers–aren’t as easily overlooked as they once were.
Rice is one of the new agricultural commodities. It’s not a major criticism to say that Emperor plays much like its predecessors. Impressions’ city-building games have always been formulaic, but it’s a solid and addictive formula. With the last three city-building games, most of the major changes have been cosmetic. The gods, buildings, and commodities available are specific to the setting, but the basic gameplay remains almost identical. You lay down residential areas, set up trade with other cities, provide food and commodities for your residents, and occasionally fight to defend your city or send your troops out to conquer another.

Emperor follows this formula to the letter, though instead of being in ancient Rome, Egypt, or Greece, you are now in ancient China. With Zeus, the setting lent itself to more-exciting mission goals: You would often need to attract mythological figures and send them out on quests, or build huge sanctuaries to the gods who would then bestow considerable bonuses to your city. The mission goals in Emperor return to the basic quantitative goals of Caesar III and Pharaoh. You’ll be required to produce a certain quantity of a commodity in a year, save up an amount of money, conquer a number of cities, or reach a target population. Occasionally you will be required to build a monument, but these monuments are goals in and of themselves and don’t bestow any benefit to your city apart from satisfying an objective.

Code:

Pentium® II 400MHz
Windows®‚ 98/2000/ME/XP
64 MB RAM
800 MB HD space
4 MB video card (16-bit color @ 800 x 600)

In the world of science, a journalist disappeared when he was investigating a corporation that is on the brink of unveiling a revolutionary technology. Before he disappeared, he left clues for a close friend, Zoë Castillo, who would be swept up in a journey across different worlds to uncovered interconnected conspiracies that threaten to rip apart the fabric of reality.

 Description:

Assassin’s Creed

Posted under Games

Earlier sometime ago, I watched Assassin’s Creed trailer and thought that it is a superb game with cool graphics. I get a little disappointed when knowing that this game was released in both PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360. Guess what? Early last month, Assassin’s Creed has been released for the PC platform!

Here is one of the trailers: (Age verification needed. Choose GT Standard Definition for onsite watching)

Just look at the plot, it’s like during the ancient ages. But I kept wondering why is there the “tech effect” around? Read the rest of this entry »
