New Blog and another short look into a "classic" ?! - Hitman:Codename 47

 INTERESTING, BUT DUE TO SCRUFFY DESIGN A HARD NUT

First, I am currently working to move this blog to a new self written blog system which will revoluti...make it much more easy to get information presented here in a really innovatio....not so dumb way. It is a lot of work, so it will prolly take a while longer.

Secondly, I acquired Hitman:Codename 47, the first in this series, and since it is from 2000, 300mb big and was one of the first games to have ragdoll simulation (Wikipedia) I am kinda looking forward to this graphical ... whatever.

PayDay 1 - The heist - aka Lets get into THAT vault- Oh, Is that sexist ???

CURRENT RATING 

Since I am all up for CoOp at this time (even with ppl after 1995) I got myself PayDay 1 - The Heist for 1,49 on Steam.

I always try to start a series with its first appearance, so hmm. And I made a good xp, the PhysX installer recognized that there was a newer version of it installed ! *fireworks*

The start music was decent. Less decent was that the first thing the program showed me was a BIG ADVERTISMENT for a DLC, even in the main menu.

Well, what the hell. Lets go looking for some criminals online to rob a bank. Or two.

Get it here !

Tales from an Island, with a lot of legendary characters, a lot of Monkeys and a UI Interface where you think a 3-year old did it.

CURRENT RATING AFTER 1 OF 5 CHAPTERS

Time for another interesting sequel from the last century...eh decade..In 2009 TTG brought this little gem out, in a time when Lucasarts wasn't gulped by a cartoon character with two big black circles on its head.

When I heard the title music, all was lost. Yes, this song kills me ever since I spend my time click'n'riddling through a subuniverse the first time.

So I was really thrilled to get it cheap on GoG. For some reason I wasn't into the 3D Style of it, so I wasn't willing to pay more than five bugs for it. Honestly. Lets be a pirate, arghh matey !

World in Conflict - Well isnt that a neat title (esp. for 2007 ?!) - Another DRM and DirectX 9 Voyage

CURRENT RATING AFTER SIX MISSIONS

Time for another fantastic sale for 2,99 on Little Green Man Gaming (or something like that).

Of course I noticed this game back in 2007 due to my general interest in war tactic RTS games and its amazingly iconic title. So now its time to feel it without any risk. Except its trash from another decade.

First thing that gives me the creeps is that first you download it on UPlay and THEN you have to install it via good old installer. Well fine, only English, French (Standard ?) and Spanish well no problem.

Okai after having to scroll down the agreement thing to be able to click on "Agree" (yikes) I am about to see a game...ah a world in conflict. Lets move on.

Sleeping Dogs dont byte and dont watch - Who woke the dogs up ?

So I got myself the demo for Sleeping Dogs. On Steam.

I am not GTA !!!

First time I launched it it asked my things like Screen Brightness and UI Zoom Parameter. Very nice.

Then a stylish loading screen with a neat Chinese trip hop style beat pops up. First impression. Ok. Could be something. If only the Logo wouldn't be some kind of a GTA reminder, but well, lets have a look.

Yeah. OK. That's Chinese GTA style. Even the radar calls for GTA at once. But noooo...I haven't stolen any cars yet, I am only supposed to show some jerk where the boss is. OK. Let's GO.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Bundle

Giana Sisters : Twisted Bundle is a realllllly nice jump and run from Germany. (Its also very near to where I was born and more or less raised). Yes, it was published in 2012, but I got it from a
recent Humble Bundle, so hmm. But I noticed it two years ago, even as a non Jump'n'Runner.

The studio is called Black Forest Studio and they did an awesome job using the Havoc Engine to breathe life into the Giana Sisters classic iconic name.

From

To

I'm really not a big jump and run fan, but once I started to play the modern giana sisters, I was hooked up on it for several hours. The twist is this changing landscape, you switch between the two sisters and the WHOLE background changes from neat to horror and vice versa.

Always gets my spirit up - BF1942 Theme

There is one tune of a computer game, that actually still after 12 years, gets my spirit up most of the time I hear it. Or at least I know when I can use it for that.

Its the title theme for the neat designed intro of Battlefield 1942.

The theme was written by Joel Eriksson. One of the things I needed to do before my hmm car accident ? or whatever kills me was thanking him for that tune. I did, he thanked me for thanking him. Check.

Today Mr. Eriksson has a nice company and an awesome looking studio and is working mostly for the big companys advertisment industry, and as far as I can hear, he know his stuff.

Thank you Mr.Eriksson !
