Boom Beach

Title: Boom Beach
Platform: PC, Mac, Android, Apple
Developer(s): Supercell
Release Date: 2008
Genre(s): Strategy, conquest, app
Online/Single player: Online
Rating: 4/5


Info
Boom beach is a game developed by Supercell. It is similar to their previous game Clash of Clans, but still differs quite a bit.


Campaign
In the campaign you have to defeat the evil general Hammerman, who has amassed armies to conquer the world. The Blackguards, they're called. You start off in a small piece of the world, and as you defeat Hammerman's armies, you need to upgrade your radar in order to move further into the world.

Multiplayer
Among the Blackguard, there are also players in the same campaign that you need to defeat. They are a lot stronger than the Blackguard, but defeating them gives you huge rewards.

Units
There are a lot of types of units, like sharpshooters, zookas, tanks, medics etc etc.
Different units have different perks. The sharpshooter is weak, but he can be delivered in huge numbers. Zookas have great damage, but their health is really crappy. Tanks have great damage and health, but they take huge population, and can only be deployed a few at a time.
Different enemies calls for different strategies. If you're up against a lot of sniper turrets, then a good combination is to send in zookas and heavies. Heavies absorb the damage, and zooka deals them.

Dr. Terror
Almost every day an evil doctor named Dr. Terror appears on the map. His technology allows his weapons to duplicate, making him stronger every time you defeat him. If you manage to beat his ten levels though, you win. He will still appear again even after you've defeated him.
Defeating Dr. Terror gives you a lot of resources.










Hammerman Attacks
Hammerman Attacks is an event that happens when you reach a certain point in the game. When this happens, Hammerman attacks your home base with an enormous fleet that is indeed VERY powerful. He is very tough to beat, and you only get three chances to defend against him.



Statues
Statues gives you boosts. They are presented as life statues, which improves production, ice statues, which improves buildings, magma statues, which increase the efficiency of your troops, and dark statues, which can give Boat Energy or increases chance to find power dust. They can also be built with three different types. Idol is weakest, Guardian is balanced and Masterpiece is strongest.
A Life Idol can for example give you a 4% production increase, but a guardian can give you 11%. It varies though, and you may get different percentages even though they're the same type.
Statues are built with crystals that you can either earn or gain from defeating enemies.


Home base
Your home base is the center of everything. Here you can train units, build and improve production and defensive buildings, and upgrade your army from the Armory. When a player attacks and successfully destroys your home base, you lose a lot of resources. Therefore its important to always keep a good defense. 







Resource bases
Resource bases are basically colonies. When you conquer a resource base, it will ship resources to your base, depending on how high leveled it is. Every time either you or an opponent takes a resource base, the defenses on that island is improved. There is however no way to either build or improve buildings there otherwise.

Cast & Conquer

TitleCast & Conquer
Platform: Android, IOS
Developer(s): R2Games
Release Date: April, 2015
Genre(s): Card, Strategy
Online/Single player: Online
Rating: 4,5/5

Overview

R2Games did it again. They made another successful game. This time, a game that takes elements from both the MMO and RPG genre, and then made it into one of the best card games i have ever played. Not that i have played many card games in the first place, but that is because none of them seems to interest me. Cast & Conquer is different though, in some way i cant quite explain with words. Its just something about this game that makes me want to play it everyday. 

Gameplay

You start with a tutorial that teaches you the basics of the game, before you enter the real world where you can chat with other people, add them as friends and all those lovely things we just love about MMO games. In the tutorial you will be introduced to some funky starting cards that you can use in your deck. Your deck can only have 10 cards in it, but this expands as you level up. What i love is that you have to think strategy to actually get anywhere in this game. Filling your deck with random cards that you have no idea what does will not do. You have to read through the cards, maybe a several times to actually understand what they do, and when or where they can be smart to use. The cards have different jobs. Some of them are medics, used purely for healing. Some are tanks. These should be put in the front row of your army, etc etc. But what is most important to understand, is the round count of the cards. Some cards takes 3 rounds to spawn, while some only needs 1. The ones with 3 would be the ones that are more useful, but that doesnt mean you can just spam your deck with those cards, because then you wouldnt be able to spawn any cards before the third round. What is simply beautiful feature to the game is that you can evolve your cards, which means you can turn them into 3 star cards instead of 2 star. To do this, you will need experience, and no Im not talking about experience points you use to level up, Im talking about experience points you get from disolving other, rather useless cards. This is awesome because it opens another cool function to the game. Grinding. You would have to grind some useless cards, and then turn them into evolved cards before you can get further in the campaign. So you will actually have to retry some levels before you complete another chapter. This is cool because then it makes it tougher to complete every single chapter. 

Blacksmith

The blacksmith is very useful, because that is the place where you enchant your gear. To do this you will have to spend some enchant stones, which can be obtained from quests and chapters. If you are too lazy to get them from those two, you can always buy them for Garnets. 

Enchant stones give you higher chance of successfully enchant an item. This is why they are so useful. 

Another useful thing you can do in the blacksmith is crafting new gear. You can for example craft 2 level 1 swords into 1 level 2 sword. 

Alchemy

This is where you can dissolve and evolve your cards. Very important for late game.

Arena

Arena is probably the feature i like the most, and is a must for online games like Cast & Conquer. It opens the opportunity to beat the crap out of the other players on the server. When beating someone, you gain Honor points, which is Cast & Conquer´s way of saying, "bitch i have more Honor points than you, means im better than you". 

Conclusion

Cast & Conquer is a very basic game. But, it has all the features a online game should have. They made it so it is actually hard to complete the game, and they added some fun stuff to do while waiting for your stupid stamina to spawn. The fact that there is over 1000 cards to obtain, and over 200 campaign levels to complete makes this game very interesting to play. 

Pros:
- Classes, like Priest, Sorcerer, Range, and Warrior. Each of them comes with different "Ability" cards.
- So many chapters and cards.
- Cool live action battles. You dont just spawn your cards and imagine a dragon appear on your screen.

Cons:
- You have to pay to fully enjoy the game.

NOTE: I am not fully completed with this game review yet. There is still a lot of features i havent been able to try yet due to lack of levels, resources and such. This is just a review of my personal experience of the game so far.

ZunderFury

Title: ZunderFury
Platform: Flash (PC, Mac)
Developer(s): Doogog
Release Date: 2008
Genre(s): Shooter, Action
Online/Single player: Offline
Rating: 3

ZunderFury is a Fast paced arena shooter game with tons of different enemies. 

Gameplay:

When you click play you can choose between two different ships. "Zunder" and "Fury". The difference between them is the weapon. Doesn't really matter who you choose, both of them are awesome. When you click your ship, you will be sent to the game. The game contains of lots of different waves. Starting on wave 1 you have nothing but a weapon that shoots 1 bullet at a time. Use WASD on the keyboard to control your ship, and Left mouse click to turn on your auto-fired machine gun of death. You can click once more to stop the gun from shooting, if you feel in the mod to get ripped apart. When you have finished off the enemies from wave 1 you will be sent to another screen where you can upgrade your stuff. For example if you wanted to upgrade your weapon, it would now shoot 2 bullets, instead of 1. Pretty basic, right? So, this is basically the game. You go through waves and waves until you die, and have to start over again. Before you start over again, make sure to submit your sexy score, so that other people can see how good you are. 

Upgrades:

Weapon: Makes your gun shoot more bullets. 
Life: Buy more life. 
Speed: Increases your speed.
Bomb: Well.. I guess you can have bombs as well. 

Play the game


Fun fact: If you explode, it means you are dead. 









Cloudstone

Title: Cloudstone
Platform: Flash (PC, Mac)
Developer(s): Playsaurus, Doogog, Fragsworth
Release Date: 2012
Genre(s): RPG, MMO, Adventure
Online/Single player: Online
Rating: 4/5

Info

Cloudstone is a massive multiplayer online game created by Playsaurus, Doogog and Fragsworth. The play style is much like any other Facebook game. You can for example add friends who can help you solve problems and you have a energy bar. What more could you want. 

Gameplay

You play as a customizable character who you can edit in the beginning of your adventure. You can make your character look like an anime based character with big eyes and even a cat face. No seriously. Or you can make your character look like something more evil. Like a pig, I dont know. However, it doesnt really matter how you create your character, the point is that it is epic. You start off with a tutorial that will teach you the basics off the game. After you have done the tutorial you do the typical quests, going on adventures, much like any other MMORPG out there. You can level up your character by gaining experience points from killing monsters or completing quests. Once you level up, you get 1 Skill point. This happens every time you level up. You can use your skill points in your skill book, where you choose between using it on "Warrior", "Sorcerer" or "Monk". Thats right. This game has Monks. Each of the roles have different advantages in the game. For Example, the Warrior can take any damage without getting hurt. The Sorcerer, like in any other games shoots magic, which makes it possible to kill monsters from a distance, thus she has no armor and can therefor easily die. The Monk has healing abilities and can therefor stay alive for quite some time. All of these three roles are good in each their ways. What is important to notice is that you can reset your skill points anytime you want, so if you feel like the Monk class didnt fit your play style, go ahead and use it on any of the other roles. You can even spread out your points and use them on every role. Imagine a Warrior with healing spells and sorcerers spells, sexy right? 

You can also join guilds, play against other players in the PVP arena and do daily events. You can even create your own home. 

Shop

The shop has a big variety of different weapons for the Monk, Warrior and Sorcerer. I was surprised that there are so few items that you have to buy for actual money. Finally a game where its not only about those Gems that costs like 50 bucks each. 

Roles

Monk:
The monk is a close combat type.
Has Healing abilities
"Dicipline" makes the monk stronger. So when you are in the shop, make sure to buy the items with dicipline gains on it. 

Warrior:
Warrior is a close combat type.
Has many strong abilities.
Can use shield.
"Rage" Makes the warrior stronger

Sorcerer: 
Ranged combat type.
Has many cool mage abilities.
"Sorcerer points" makes the Sorcerer stronger. Logic right there.

Overall i think this game is quite unique, and i liked it a lot. 
I rate it 8/8.

Doom 2

Title: Doom II: Hell on Earth
Platform: MS-DOS, Xbox 360, Macinstosh, Playstation 3
Developer(s): DivineGames
Release Date: 
Genre(s): First Person Shooter
Online/Single player: Offline, Online
Rating: 5/5



Gameplay

Campaign
After the demons finds their way to Earth, you once more have to stop them, this time from destroying your planet. The campaign is really long, it takes 23 minutes to just speed run, and if you want a perfect score you have to eliminate everything. That can take quite some time. The game has six difficulties, and have some funny names, The easiest one is named "I'm too young to die!"and the hardest is called "Nightmare"

Coop
Since the campaign can be extremely difficult, it will help you alot if you play in coop, and has a companion to back you up.

Weapons
Doom II has a large variety of weaponry that are both original and powerful. Starting weapons are the brass knuckles and the pistol. Most commonly used is the pump action shotgun, which is known for now having to aim at opponents, as the bullets "find their way" themselves. Of course, the pump action shotgun isn't enough, so they also added in the Super Shotgun. This gun fires two shells at the same time, doubling the damage, and the reload speed is increased. Next is the minigun. The minigun is basically a huge machinegun that can easily mow down hordes in the matter of seconds. If you are up against stronger enemies, the minigun can stun them and keep shooting them until they die. The Rocket Launcher can store up to fifty rockets, and fire all of them semi-automatically, without the need to reload. Be careful, the rockets can damage and/or kill you if they explode too close to you.
Then there is the chainsaw. The chainsaw is really powerful against individual opponents, as it can stun the enemies while damaging them, just like the minigun. The chainsaw doesn't require ammunition, and is therefore a permanent melee weapon, if you can obtain it.
And then, my personal favorite, the BIG FUCKING GUN 9000, or the BFG-9000 for short. The Big Fucking Gun is the most powerful weapon in Doom, and can completely obliterate even bosses with two simple shots. The shots also radiates over larger areas, so it can clear out entire armies at once, giving it the nickname - The Room Sweeper. Of course, a weapon this powerful is given extremely limited ammo, so only use it when you need it.


Monsters
The monsters in doom 2 are very original, and they are extremely fun to kill, as they all blast into gory pieces with their insides all over the floor. A couple of them are the demons, the cacodemons, the faunas etc etc... The demons are melee fighters that run into you and try to eat you. They are weak individually but in numbers they are fearsome, and if you are in a tight spot then there is no escape. The Cacodemons are big flying head that shoots fireballs at you. The minigun is very effective against them. The faunas as I've dubbed them is a half man half goat thing that fires green fireballs at you, and these fireballs deal way more damage than the Cacodemons.



The player
The player is with no doubt badass, but he hasn't really been given an official name. Most people just call him Doomguy.


Multiplayer
The multiplayer in this game is really fun. The huge variations of weapons you can use, and with the speed you can run, its a competition of who has the best accuracy and fastest reactions.

This game is incredible. Though it is a bit outdated, it is among the best FPS games I've played, right next to Halo.

Realm Grinder

Game Details:


Title: Realm Grinder
Platform: PC
Developer(s): DivineGames
Release Date: May. 2015
Genre(s): Idle (slight medieval theme)
Online/Single player: Offline
Rating: 4/5


Gameplay:
Entering the game, a game screen approaches us (see the first picture). The first thing I did before anything was first make a quick overview and try to understand how this idle game was setup, but without fully understanding, I started clicking the chest. The chest is where the basic coin gathering happens. 

Starting out
Each click gave me a coin each. After gathering 10 coins, I could buy my first "building", the Farm. Unlikely other idle games, the first building gave me a decent amount of cash regeneration. That is what many idle games miss on, the first upgrades is too weak, and it gets boring after a short while. So a quite decent first building was a plus, and it did not take long until I got more and more money, buying many Farms and Inns. 

As you go on deeper into the game, you realize there are many different kind of coins involved into the game. These are coins that are possible to achieve only by clicking the treasure chest. It is the same chance to get all the different coins, it is 2% for all of them. The different kind of coins are:
  • Demon coins
  • Undead coins
  • Goblin coins
  • Angel coins
  • Elven coins
  • Fairy coins
Mana
On the top left, there is a mana bar that allows you to purchase some powerups for your game experience. Your maximum mana is 1000, and in the beginning it regenerates 0,5 per second. Later on with several upgrades, you can make the regeneration go faster. The abilities you can buy are limited to two at the beginning of the game. They are:
  1. Tax collection: It costs 200 mana and you instantly get 30 seconds worth of cash. 
  2. Call to arms: It costs 400 mana and gives you 20% extra coins for 30 seconds. 
Later on, you will have access to other awesome abilities too. 

Achievments
Realm Grinder has an achievment system. It is very basic and keep track of your progress. Nice to check sometimes!

Upgrades
The upgrade bar is very messy at times. You can not decide what upgrade is what, so you will have to go through every single of them and read. There are many different kind of upgrades, everything from making buildings more efficient to making the clicking more useful. Some upgrades even unlocks new buildings to buy. 

The Important Choice
You know those special types of coines, which appearently belongs to a specific race or group of creatures, such as angels and demons, those coins are very useful later. After collecting 20 pieces of the same type of coin, you are one step further out into the game. With twenty of them. you are now able to purchase a new "route" on how the game should be. By choosing the upgrade of your choice, There is an upgrade for every single type of coin, and every different upgrade gives you a specialty. I chose the elves, which gave me a boost on treasure chest clicking. 

This purchase cannot be undone without a reset!

After purchasing the race you wanted, that type of coin will be the most important one. All the other types can be used to purchase upgrades for overall gold gains. 

You will get new kind of upgrades directing against the course you chose, and they are almost never ending. 

At the cost of 100 coins of the specific coin you chose earlier you can buy a mysterious upgrade that unlocks new upgrades.

Reset 
As in almost all other idle games, there is a reset button that will reward you with bonuses if you have come far in the game before resetting. 


Conclusion
The overall conclusion of this game is: It is fun to play when you got some spare time. Since it is an idle game, you do not have to spend every single second of playing it looking at the screen, after a while, it gets very automatic. The concept of the gameplay is a bit advanced for someone, but just a regular internet user would fully understand it well. Personally i think it is a great game and i gave it a rating of 4/5. 


Graphics
The first thoughts of the design and graphics is very positive. It is calming and clean.
First I notice is the coins, besides the beautiful drawn chest of course. The graphics of the game is very smooth and matches everything. The color of the coins is very symbolic for the creatures. The navigation bar is very nice and simple, and the setup of the upgrade bars is nicely done. The only thing bothering me is that the icons of upgrades and such is a bit confusing. 

Latest Updates

Latest update added 28/5 - 2015:

  • Added Hotkeys for Spells! 1: Tax Collection, 2: Call to Arms, 3: Alignment Spell, 4: Faction Spell.
  • NEW UPGRADES: each building now unlocks a new upgrade when you build 200 of them. Farms, Inns and Blacksmiths follow the increasing rule set in a previous update, granting them a further bonus of 500%. All other buildings get a 100% bonus while Halls of Legends get the 50/0.5xTrophy as usual.
  • God’s Hand base cost has been increased to 1000 mana, up from 900.
  • Call To Arms effect has been reduced to 0.3% per building, down from 0.35%.
  • Added visuals for Assistants! A small, flying, faction-themed dot will be stationing beside the treasure as soon as you have at least one assistant, providing a useful tooltip when you hover it. If you wish to disable assistant graphics, there is a new checkbox in the Options tab.
  • Grinding Dedication now remains unlocked and available to purchase through soft resets.
  • Added an option to disable Trophy Popups.
  • Fixed an issue that could lead to a crash and grey screen.

If you are bored and has nothing else to do with your life but staring at your roof all day, i highly suggest you to try this game.

Halo 3

Title: Halo 3
Platform: Xbox 360
Developer(s): Microsoft, Bungie
Release Date: 2009
Genre(s): FPS
Online/Single player: Online/Offline
Rating: 5/5


Info:
Halo 3 takes place about one year after the invasion of earth. Humanity has been completely pushed into a corner, and the Covenant keep pouring in. The flood also shows up, so now you have to deal with an alliance of powerful alien species AND a parasite that can instantly turn you into one of their own. However, since the Covenant betrayed the Elites in the second Halo game, they are now siding with humanity, which feels really good. Since the first game, the Elites have been your nemesis, but in the third installment, they're your most powerful ally.



Gameplay

HUD
The HUD isn't a lot more different than the previous games. The detail's a bit better, the shield bar is in a different location, etc etc. They did add two new HUD's, though. One for when you play as Elites, and one for when you play as the Guilty Sparks in Forge Mode.


Campaign
The Campaign is once absolutely stunning. Everything about it just feels so right, and the parts where you play side by side with the Elites is so much fun I can't even describe it. Halfway through the game you try to save Earth from both the Covenant and the Flood, but when you realize that it's futile, you desperately try to do something that hasn't been done in the previous Halo games. You light the ring. Now, if you played the first Halo game you should know that lighting the Halo ring will probably extinguish all life in the galaxy, but seeing as how the Flood is winning, you don't have a choice. I am not going to spoil any more of the game, because seriously, its amazing.


Weapons
Some new weapons were as well added in the newest installment of Halo. The Spartan Laser, which is a slow but powerful weapon that can easily one shot Scorpions (Scorpions are heavy tanks) They added the Flame thrower, which can only be used on one map, but damn is it fun. They added two new grenades as well. The fire grenade and the spike grenade. The spike grenade is similar to the hedgehog grenade from Resistance: Fall of Man.
As for the Covenant, they got a spiker, which is a weapon that fires spikes. It's similar to the human SMG, but its sort of cooler, and has a more powerful melee attack.
A new ability was added in that lets you tear stationary weapons off their post and carry them. This weapon makes you walk slower, and removing them from their station limits their ammunition, but nonetheless its powerful.


Equipment
One of the coolest things that was added in Halo 3 was the equipment you could use. There are many different equipments you can use, but my own personal favorite is the Bubble Shield. The Bubble Shield is what it's called: when you use it a bubble will spawn where you land it. This bubble will deflect any attack for a short period of time. Enemies can still walk through it, and be advised as vehicles can drive through it, killing you instantly. It is still a useful item.
Here you can see when Spartan 1337 uses the Bubble Shield to deflect an attack from Pluton.
The clip is also from the Halo based anime, Halo Legends.


New Cool Flood Ability
Although its terrifying, it is still really cool that they added in an ability for the flood to actually turn both humans and aliens into Flood Combat Forms.
If you play in Coop mode, you might actually see your own body being turned after you die and respawn.


Here you can see a marine soldier being overrun by flood Infection forms. He painfully but quickly turns.





Halo three, or any of the Halo games really, is a masterpiece that is recommended not only for FPS lovers but gamers in general.

Halo 2

Title: Halo 2
Platform: Xbox
Developer(s): Microsoft, Bungie
Release Date: 9th of November, 2004
Genre(s): FPS
Online/Single player: Online/Offline
Rating: 5/5


This review is work in progress...

Info
Halo 2 takes place about one year after Halo: Combat Evolved. After you successfully neutralize Halo in the first game, you finally come back to Earth to be rewarded for your heroic deeds. However it is too late, and the Covenant has already discovered Earth. An all out war begins, and you need to protect a city that the covenant finds oddly interesting. After you successfully repel Covenant forces out of the city, the enemy prepares a Slip Space Jump. You, and your fellow marines follow them and discover something that strikes fear in your heart... The second installation of Halo.


Gameplay

HUD:
The HUD has minor changes. The radar, weapon and shield bar have been modified so its easier to keep watch over both enemies and shield power. You don't have a health bar anymore. Instead, your health is recovered when your shields recover. This is a pretty useful update, as it was true hell to play Halo: CE with only one bar of health left and no health kits to spare.

New weapons and dual wield
Halo: CE was already filled to the brim with unique, creative and fun-to-shoot weapons. The ones



added in Halo 2 was not different. The game had a new type of rifle, called the battle rifle. Unlike its successor the assault rifle, this one had burst fire, and would help you in conserving ammo. They added the SMG, which was weak individually but could become insanely powerful if you dual wielded them. They added a stationary machine gun, which couldn't be carried, but when you find one it can unleash one hell of a powerful volley. Mostly used in crowded areas, it has infinite ammo and can kill everything you aim at. Of the alien weapons they added the Brute shot, which fires grenades, and it also has an enormous axe... knife... something sharp on the back of it. You know, like a grenade launcher, only 100 times more awesome. They added the Brute Plasma Rifle, which is the same as the plasma rifle but with red plasma instead. They also finally made the Energy sword available to players.
One of the things I DIDN'T like was the fact that they completely removed the assault rifle from the game, and severely nerfed the pistol, which was one of their trademark weapons.
One of the best things they added was the ability to the game was the ability to duel wield weapons. This was one hell of a cool feature, as two SMG's could unleash hellish powers.


Campaign

The campain, like all Halo games, was the best part. There's so much to discover, so much to kill! The thrilling story of how you discover the second Halo, how you once more must save humanity, and how you must once more must stop the Flood from spreading, is a well written and compelling story.

Multiplayer

The multiplayer ain't bad either. Most of the old maps have been replaced with new maps, some are better, some are worse, but they kept Blood Gulch and Battle Creek, which is good as these two maps are two of the best multiplayer maps I have ever seen. Battle your friends in a epic 16 player match, be it free for all or capture the flag, or any other mode.

Playing as the elites
One of the coolest things Halo 2 had in them was that you could actually play as the Elites, or rather the Arbiter, in his own campaign to destroy the Heretics. This feature got incredibly popular among fans, and is what sparked the ability to play as elites in multiplayer.

The Arbiter and Master Chief actually encountered each other before Halo 2, but that was as enemies. Arbiter got his ass kicked, and was literally kicked out of his own ship, which is why everyone apparently disrespects Arbiter.




This game is a masterpiece, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys FPS games. If you don't have the original Xbox console, they remastered the game for newer consoles and is called Halo 2 Anniversary.

More information coming soon...

Resistance: Fall Of Man






Title: Resistance Fall Of Man
Platform: PS3
Developer(s): Insomniacgames
Release Date: 13. November 2006
Genre(s): FPS
Online/Single player: Online/Offline
Rating: 4.5/5

Info:
Join Sergeant Nathan Hale and his crew of human resistance forces, as they are striving to stop a mysterious alien-like invasion that takes place in Britain, year 1951 in an alternate history. What made this game so popular was not the fact that they managed to create a such good First Person Shooter, because honestly, if you took a couple of steps away from your Television and look at the game from a far, this game could easily be mistaken as a Call Of Duty game. But thats not it. The storyline, graphics, amazing voice actors, original weapons is what made it so special. Remember, this was one of the first games ever created for our beloved console PS3, isnt that just an amazing start for an awesome console?

Gameplay:
In Resistance: Fall of Man you can play both custom games, like Call of Duty where you enter a small map together with some friends, or the campaign mode, which in my opinion is far better and more interesting than the custom map. Dont mistake me, the custom game, making it possible to fight each other with badass weapons is all good but nothing beats a well developed story. However, I will write something about both of them.

Custom:
In custom mode you get to play with your friends, and just like in Call of Duty you are summoned on a small map where the only goal is to brutally murder each other until one of the players eventually gain enough kills to see the dramatic slow motion effect, while the victory text appears on the screen. You can also choose between various of modes, like the good old capture the flag, death match and team death match. Every one of them should not be too hard to understand the goal of, and therefor i am not going to write much about them.

I always loved the custom mode. Killing your friends with amazing future-looking weapons is always fun and is a cool feature to the game. There is also a bunch of maps that you can choose between, and every single one of them are well developed, and its pretty hard to get tired of them, unlike some other maps we know. Yes "Rust" i am talking about you. Some of the maps may seem too big for a match between four poor souls, but dont you worry, because there is also another feature that allows you to choose between the bigger or the smaller version of one map.

One thing I know a lot of people are getting mad at, that including me is that there is too much unbalance between the weapons, some of the weapons are op, while some of them are so weak that you will have to reload the gun a several times before you actually manage to kill the enemy, by this time he has probably regenerated his HP back and is ready to come with a counter-attack against you, this often ends up with having to flee away like a pussy, or getting killed because you managed to use all of your bullets trying to spray down the enemy.

Overall i think custom game is amazing, and well developed.. Just like the rest of the game. God this game is good, are you sure it was made in 2006?

If you play multiplayer you will experience the same thing, just this time with up to 40 fellow players.

Storyline:
In 1941, an alien-like race called the Chimera spread throughout the Europe, originated in Russia. The creatures mutate the humans virally by mutating them into fellow Chimera breeds. Who would ever guess. Their massive infection rate made the virus spread fast through Russia and Europe. Now they are heading for Britain, by digging tunnels underneath and invade United Kingdom. Their technology is far better than ours and makes them a hard target with their OP guns filled with energy and lasers.


In 1951 the game finally begins, as the protagonist Sergeant Nathan Hale, together with an elite force from the United States is on a mission to retrieve a secret weapon that the British claim can be used against the Chimera in exchange of supplies. However, this is not an easy task. Once he and his crew lands on York, the forces are ambushed by the Chimera. Once the forces die, their dead bodies are getting attacked by small insect-like creatures that infects all of the soldiers. Hale is the only one to survive this massive attack. He resists the full attack of these creatures and does not go into a coma, but rather gains extra strength, heath regeneration, and gold-colored irises, much like the Chimera themselves, thus the name Resistance: Fall of Man. And so Hale continues on his mission. The rest of the plot is only to be experienced by those who actually play the game.

Weapons:
There is a ton of weapons in this game.
Some of them are based on guns from the 1950´s while some of them are alien-looking guns, created by the Chimera themselves.
There are also a couple of Grenades.
The first one is just an original frag grenade, while the two others are far more advanced, one of them doesnt explode, but instead fills a minor area with gass which eventually takes fire. The most amazing Fire grenade i have ever seen. The third one is a spike grenade, which kind of explodes, but instead of a explosion it sends out spikes that deals massive damage.
