Soldier of Fortune Payback PC Review
Gamepyre :: Tuesday, December 11, 2007
As much as it pains me to do so, I have to give this game a poor score. The technology is dated, and the game turns quickly into trial and error. Crazy enemy AI and aim will get you killed too fast. Multiplayer is fun, but has nothing major to offer. Definitely nothing other games don’t have. If you are a hardcore fan of the Soldier of Fortune series, then pick this one up. Even then I’d recommend waiting a bit for the price to drop. The multiplayer alone isn’t enough to make this game great, and the single player, while long enough, is lacking. I’m also upset that the gore models, something Soldier of Fortune is known for, aren’t as good as they have been in the past.
Unreal Tournament 3 (PC)
Driver Heaven :: Tuesday, December 11, 2007
After it seemed like the UT series was about to become the next Fifa (you know, a new revision every year with hardly any new features added to the mix) with the 2003 and 2004 releases, things got quiet. It took 3 years for the next installment to be finally ready and thankfully Epic decided to drop the release year naming convention and returned to a more standard, numerical naming. But is that big III behind the Unreal Tournament name and logo all that this new version delivers, or did the upgrade to the Unreal Engine 3.0 bring more?
Unreal Tournament 3 review
YouGamers :: Tuesday, December 11, 2007
“Unreal Tournament 3 is a fine game. It plays well, looks okay and doesn’t ask anything unreasonable in the hardware side of things. Yet it tastes a bit… stale. You can’t avoid the fact that this is just another evolutionary step for the Unreal Tournament series. If you didn’t like UT before, UT3 doesn’t include anything so radially different that it would change that. There is also a distinct lack of final polish. I think Epic simply ran out of time with Christmas rapidly approaching. The fact that the Xbox 360 version was unceremoniously pushed to 2008 and the PS3 version will apparently just barely make it to the stores before the holidays tends to support this assumption.”
Empire Earth 3 (PC)
Driver Heaven :: Tuesday, December 11, 2007
Video game franchises are volatile entities. With each successive release of a popular franchise, publishers walk a fine line between pleasing existing fans and attracting new ones. Driving fresh sales with changes to gameplay can backfire terribly, as the fans that made a series a success in the first place may walk away in disgust. Yet publishers are reluctant to ditch previously successful branding, so a profitable series is likely to soldier on until its final iteration resembles its first release in name only. Some games have such valuable pedigrees that even the worst gameplay isn’t enough to hamper the critical reception; take the extended technology demo known as Doom 3, for instance.
Other games, however, such as Sierra’s recently released real-time strategy game Empire Earth 3, can’t survive on branding alone. 2007 has seen a number of superb releases in the real-time strategy genre, and the Empire Earth name alone isn’t enough to carry the third game in the series if the gameplay isn’t up to par. Given the generally excellent reception of the series’ previous release, continued success for the series is no easy task – and by no means guaranteed.
