  • Action RPG - Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    Kingdoms of Amalur on Steam

    If you like Action RPGs, then you’ll love Kingdoms of Amalur. I hadn’t heard about this game at all - it just sort of came out of nowhere.

    I guess because it’s mainly built as a console title, so there are SOME things on the PC that are a bit annoying.

    BUT - it’s hugely enjoyable. It most reminds me of Jade Empire - definite RPG with both combat and non-combat skills and so on, but you actually fight. Different skills, dodges, and so on.

    Highly recommended.

  • Neverwinter running text-based RPG sessions on Facebook

    Tuesday Encounter: Your party has dared to venture to the Ruins of Zhentil Keep in search of lost artifacts, where you find a Temple to Bane, left strangely untouched. You cautiously enter the temple, hoping to plunder it's treasures, and instead find a group of undead Zhentarim in defensive positions, holding off the advances of a group of Shadar-Kai, led by Naramus himself. What do you do?

    There is a new Neverwinter video game coming out this year. The Facebook page for the brand is doing an awesome job running role playing "sessions" just by posting to their wall.

  • Starting DAII but apparently I should be more excited by Neverwinter

    So, I'm just about to start playing some Dragon Age II, and people are already telling me that I'll probably be better off waiting for Neverwinter.

    I was a little worried playing the DAII demo, and yup, it looks like they turned it into a mainly action oriented game.

    I'm not happy with how Dawn of War II: Retribution got changed. I *loved* the previous two versions, now they've dialed the RPG down and dialed the RTS up, making it more suitable for online multiplayer, but less fun for me.

    Feels like the "app-ification" of everything...
