A Game Blog - Play Games And Get Paid
Like racing games such as Need for Speed? Check out a PC steering wheel, or maybe you are looking for a general purpose all around PC game pad that will serve as a controller for any game you're looking to play.
Now move up to 2010 (this year). A new game hit the market and was making a stink: TORCHLIGHT. As of May 18th, 2010 the game sold over 500,000 copies since its release in October 2009. And it did not take long for the community in the forums to raise a stink of their own with the "Diablo clone" flames. If one was to Google "TORCHLIGHT VS DIABLO" you would find massive pages of the similarities between the games. TORCHLIGHT can be bought for a mere $19.99 these days. This is believed to be where the sales boost came from. While DIABLO I & II can be bought (separately) around $17 - $20, down from the original price of $40+.
However, an even bigger game, with WORSE graphics hit the DOS PC and became an instant hit during this time was a simple game called: ROGUE! Rogue was probably the first pc dungeon dweller game that was found on just about every computer regardless of its OS or language. Its graphics were nothing but letters on a keyboard and other ASCII characters for monsters, treasures, weapons and even doors and stairs. The dungeons themselves were random, so no two games were ever alike. The objective - was (originally) to get the level 26 where the great Amulet of Yendor is said to be kept, then grind your way back up to the top. It is not as easy as it seems.
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim - A port of a port. This was originally released for the PS2 and before that the PC, and has been watered down in between. The same classic Ys gameplay is intact, overland map, onscreen battles and fun little characters in a charming, if simple story. It's good solid fun for a portable and tells a decent story. Even if https://badawave.com/plot-doom-part-2-three-times-to-hell/ are a little broken.
Final Fantasy IV - It's technically a port, but a damn good port at that. I loved this game back in the days on the SNES and the idea to bring the 16-bit Final Fantasies to the GBA made me as happy as can be. This was a game I love to play, but feel goofy loading into my PS2 and sitting down to play. It's a perfect bus play, and it plays just as great as in 1992. The classic tale of Cecil and the Red Knights never fails to capture my attention from start to finish. Of course, when Final Fantasy VI is released, I might have to replace this with that one, as we all know that VI is the greatest of them all.
Game PC Most PC game demo would not be complete. They would just be enough to give the player a feel of what the game play is all about. In that short period of time, the player can discern whether the game is good enough to buy the full version. With the high price of video games at present, making sure that the game is worth it is probably the best move for a budget conscious consumer. There are lots of web sites out there that offer downloads of PC game demo. They would provide links for the games. Sites would provide accurate descriptions of the game and some would even have their own PC game reviews section. This would help the user pick which game to download. Some reviews would be written by the site's staff while other sites would allow users to write their own review of the game.
Why, you ask? The reason is simple. With the advent of the PC, most gamers got distracted and began using their PC for gaming more than their consoles. Due to this console sales fell sharply, and until the PS arrived, there was hardly any excitement in the console industry and there weren't many memorable games as before. Besides, with the PC, there's always the headache of having to upgrade a few parts to play the latest games. In the case of consoles, this is no such requirement because the hardware is always the same and the game developers design their games to suit the machine's hardware. This is very convenient because all the gamer has to invest is on the game title itself, and doesn't have to upgrade his/her hardware just to play a new game!
