Hello everyone , so I ordered Elder Scrolls 5 for the PC from Amazon yesterday , for my next blog, I will do a first impreesions blog as well as post pics of what the game looks like on my PC , etc (which might help some people decide between which one to get)

for this blog, Im going to mention some of the games I recently got.

(this is what it looks like on my PC)

since it was something like £1.50 on Steam , I decided to get Crysis.

More than anything else, Crysis was known for pushing PCs in 2007 to the limit, to the point where pretty much no computer could run it maxed out. Thats only half true....it makes PCs in 2011 work hard , despite my PC actually being pretty decent (AMD Phenom II X6 2.8 , 3GB DDR3 , Radeon 6870 1GB) I can only run the game on a mix of high and very high settings, so its fairly close to being maxed out, but its not, I can get it running maxed out, but the game isn't too playable then.

Otherwise its a pretty good shooter, I like the somewhat open nature of the combat, the nanosuit (or whatever its called) is cool , and the game plays like it should.

Luke, I am your fa.....oh wait , wrong film...or game.

Wing Commander 3 on the 3DO is a port of a PC game of the same name . released in 1995, WC3 is a combination of a space shooter and an interactive movie. FMV games were common at the time, but WC3 has 2 things that most other FMV games don't have.

1) The acting is actually decent (with actors like Mark Hamill as the main character along with some others too)

2) there is actual gameplay in the form of a 3D space shooter

visually its very impressive for 1995 and its a very fun game, altough sometimes the frame rate take a nose dive whenever there is alot on screen

Crusader No Remorse is a Saturn port of a PC game. The game is an odd one. Its an action game that has a somewhat similar look to a game like Diablo or Fallout and is an action game with puzzle and even RPG elements , though the controls are a bit odd, its a fun game though

I do like Mario Kart clones , Street Racer on the Saturn is an upgraded port of a SNES/MD game , that was also on the PS1. The difference between the 2 32bit versions is that the Saturn version is considerably more detailed than the PS1 version

(same area as above on the PS1)

That said, the game is not as good as Mario Kart, its a good game, worth getting for cheap , but do not expect Mario Kart quality, at least there are alot of tracks.

Wachenroder for the Saturn is a late 1998 (it even has a Dreamcast ad in the box) strategy RPG mixed in with an adventue game of sorts. Sadly I didn't play it for long, so I can't say much , but I have to say the story is very good so far, its a bit depressing at times , but nothing too bad.

Yeah , I think most people know this one, its Resident Evil with Dinosaurs, good game, and the 3D engine is very impressive for the PS1

yet another game I think most people know, though one thing to note about the N64 version , is that all the levels are different from the PC (or most of them anyways) so this one is worth playing even if you have the PC version.

Yet another well known one, the N64 version is surprisingly good, I find it to be better than the PS1 and even the PC version(although the MKG is arguably the better game)

Doom64 is Doom with a twist, the game is an all new game as opposed to just another port, complete with new levels, enemies and guns, arguably it looks better than the original though the colour scheme is a little odd (at least for this type of game)

Its a snowboarding game , not much to say really, 1080 snowboarding is ok , it looks good, but the controls are a bit odd, I don't know about this one, its ok.

Ridge Racer 64 is one great racing game, as the only Ridge Racer on the N64, its a good game, looks good (although it has a very stereotypical N64 look to it) even though the track selection is a little low (for a game this late , released in 2000) the game controls and plays as you would expect, I like it and would recommend it.

so that is it for now, probably sometime late next week I will do the first impressions blog about Elder Scrolls 5 .

Thanks for reading
