Defense of the Ancient

Wed, Nov 19, 2008

Defense of the Ancients (often referred to as DotA), The most irresistable game here in my place, and almost everybody play this (including girls). It is the number one of the Local Games that every Internet shop wouldn’t miss to have. They even created a GArena to make it online. Tournaments are even held nationwide and Worldwide. It has become so infamous that even teachers already knows what their students was up to when cutting classes. Cool huh!?!^_^

So much for that, let me tell you about something about this game… DotA allstar is a custom senario for Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. Its goal is to distroy the opponents’ ancient before they do it to yours. It is a 5X5 game, which means you will have a 5 man team. Players are to choose his/her best character,  then optimizing it by killing creeps, neutral creeps and even heroes. This game has been living for so much that even stratigic manuvers are already used to defeat one’s team. Teams with poor teamwork will probably go weak which will cause their defeat.

Each human player controls one Hero, a powerful unit with unique abilities and with unique attributes (strength, agility, and intelligence) . In Allstars, players on each side choose one of ninety-three heroes, each with different abilities and tactical advantages over the other heroes. The scenario is highly team oriented; it is difficult for one player to carry the team to victory alone. Nevertheless, some heroes, given enough time, can change the outcome single-handedly, while countering the opposing team’s heroes.

Player are also able to buy and compose items which will add up to their base attribute,s making them much stronger and better.

She has been part of my childhood days, she has leapt form one console to another, she has been with us for almost every generation in the gaming world and taken on the box office for two times. Even now, Lara Croft’s popularity has never waned. The thrills and excitements on each adventure she took still remains in us… Now her new expedition comes closer and closer, new dangerous enemies, new hazards and some treacherous myths awaits her and us. So let’s take a little peak on the new game…

Eric Lindstrom, the creative direcetor, first revealed details of the story in the official blog. Lara Croft as always, is going to be looking for another artifact, but this artifact has been told to be the fearsome weapon of the Norse God Thor. She first finds evidence of its existence in the ruins beneath the Mediterranean Sea. Upon this expedition, Lara may put the entire world in danger by unlocking “a dormant force which, if disturbed, could destroy everything.” (watch the Teaser Below)

Fable 2

Since Fable 2 has just been released in North America,  I guess everybody there has their own by now. While other countries like mine, still hasn’t got any idea what the new game has to offer to us… So I read some cool reviews and previews and made one of my own.

Revisiting the sprawling world of Albion more than 500 years after the events of the original Fable. The game begins as expected, about a life of a hero, with your character as a child. Of course this time, you are to choose whether you are a girl or a boy. The next minutes serves as an introduction to the game’s story and controls, and acts as a way to demonstrate the decision making you’ll have to do during playing. Decisions you make shape your character… be evil and you’ll have horns popping on your head, and do good and you’ll shine like an angel ^_^.
