Rappelz


A couple of years since I played, but did reset on the server where I played, and decided not to start again. However, after many tests with various MMPORPGs (free and paid, such as Wow, War hammer Online, Lineage 2, Perfect World, Ragnarok Online, Last Chaos, Silk road, and overall I think the list reaches 20 different titles) I've reinstalled, and in three days and I have a Gaia fighter level 30 (will be an archer soon ^ ^), and why I have not spent more than 2 hours a day. This for a guy with so little free time I mean I've caught with enough desire ^ ^.

At first the game is the typical kill-kill. Missions, hundreds of bugs to kill, to get equipment, etc. But Rappelz has that "something" is lacking in other games. For example, in WoW, when you get to 80 and have your team "Tier", you do not know what to do. The same in Warhammer Online (only that this situation happens even before in WoW), RO, and all others (except the EVE Online, of course XD). In contrast, in Rappelz there are always things to do but of course to level up and get better equipment. There are always events, hilarious Bosses to kill etc. I do not know, is "something" which I personally like it, maybe it's the setting, the game system, do not know...

It is definitely a game worth trying if you like this style of game. Graphically it is quite good, although I must say that the graphics engine will be rendered obsolete. The music is cool, but when you farmed for a while in the same area is repetitive (this happens at all XD), and the game play is pretty good.

Prince of Persia


As I saw it advertised I knew I had to be mine. A price of Persia comic style graphics engine to the Xbox 360 has to be good to force, I thought.
The truth is that history is great, although it does not "catch" the player enough or at least not as much as previous releases of this title for PS2. The graphics are good, but repetitive and the soundtrack leaves a little to be desired, as is also repetitive, as well as its game play.
After an hour of play you just realizing that you are playing an arcade game that is half platforms and bored with the same thing. Yet I've had, but it is quite linear up to where I ... style mazes to get Tomb Raider to a final boss stage, you kill him (and this is the only time when you fight ... is like Final Fantasy, it seems that "sales" mode to enter game mode combat), purify the field and by the following.
Honestly, I was disappointed. The game play and the fun are dreadful, but the story is good. Compared with its predecessors, is at the height of the bitumen.

Fable II (XBOX 360)


The sequel to this great game "made in" Microsoft finally got my hands on. The bar was very high, since the two previous releases (Fable and Fable: The Lost Chapters) were masterpieces, especially for the times then ran.

However, this title did not disappoint me (maybe I took some things less than the previous titles and it had not, as the damage reduction by armor in Fable II dress is purely aesthetic). Have you been up to, both in story and game play, which guarantees a good amount of hours of fun?

This time the story is based 500 years after Fable, an age where heroes are mere legends, which ceased to exist when the people rose against them. We can choose the new sex, and this time the "expressions" have far more impact than the first (and indeed, here you can have sex, with or without a condom, having children, illness, etc...) and will always be accompanied by our faithful friend, a stray dog.
