In the last game play video, Elika and the Prince entered the prison. Elika’s father followed them and eventually destroyed the seal of the container holding Ahriman, the God of Darkness. The world is seeing ‘the ending of the light.’ Elika says Ahriman has not fully escaped yet. And the Temple still has the power to contain him. Something has happened to the Fertile Grounds. The ruined Fertile Grounds are now helping Ahriman to escape. In order to stop Ahriman, therefore, they need to restore the Fertile Grounds. She can then use recovered light seeds to unleash more magical powers and enter locked areas. In this game play video, Elika and the Prince will try to restore one of the Fertile Grounds.  Continue reading

Playing Grand Theft Auto IV with Boot Camp – Grand Theft Auto IV – 30 Minutes

Grand Theft Auto IV Mac Boot Camp

The PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV is a new action/adventure game, which was published by Rockstar Games, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, in December 2. Grand Theft Auto IV was developed by Rockstar North in Edinburgh, Scotland (U.K.). This game was already published for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in April 29.

Personally, I have never played any of the Grand Theft Auto games. And initially thought this series is similar to Electronic ArtsNeed for Speed series. But I guess not. As far as I played Grand Theft Auto IV for one hour or so, it looked to me that this game is pretty closely to a 2002 game called Mafia. Mafia was published by Gathering on August 28, 2002.

The following QuickTime movie is a game play video of Grand Theft Auto IV. It starts with the cinematic movie at the beginning and then ends when the main character of the game is pulled over by the police. I can tell you that it’s not fun watching it.

By the way, if you have Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 but plan to buy the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV, you may probably think twice. Grand Theft Auto IV’s system requirements are quite demanding. With 2 GB of RAM and 256 MB of VRAM, I was only able to play the game with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. And the game requires quite a lot of keys to control. (See the screenshots below.)

I say that you are most likely to enjoy the game to the end if you have a good first impression at the beginning. If you have a bad impression from the beginning, there is a good chance that you won’t recover from it until the very end. If I didn’t make a second game play video for the same game, that means I didn’t have a good first impression. The last game in which I had a good first impression, which continued to the end, is Electronic Arts‘ third-person action/horror game Dead Space.

So how about Prince of Persia (2008)? I can honestly say that I didn’t enjoy any of the previous three Prince of Persia games. So I had low expectations on this game right at the beginning. Well, I think Prince of Persia is different from previous three games. Prince of Persia has

  • good music … √
  • beautiful graphics … √
  • good voice actors … √
  • good conversational lines … √
  • a good story … maybe
  • Let me iterate that I’m talking about my first impression about this game. I only played this game for just 30 minutes or so. So you never know how my impression will change as the game goes.  Continue reading
