| Leisure Suit Larry Makes a Comeback in HD Posted: 11 Oct 2011 06:33 AM PDT Leisure Suit Larry is largely regarded as a pretty poor franchise by those who have only played the more recent entries in the franchise. Years back, it had its unfunny moments but was an extremely popular point-and-click adventure series. Nowadays it might be difficult to track down its better iterations, so Replay Games is hoping to revive them all for modern platforms. Back in June, Replay announced it was working with Larry creator Al Lowe to bring the original Leisure Suit Larry to tablets, netbooks, and mobile devices. According to EGM, it now has plans to bring remastered, HD versions to an even wider variety of platforms: Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, PC, Mac, iOS, Android, OnLive, and more. The first game in the series, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, was originally released in 1987 and then got a remake in 1991. This took the original 16-color EGA graphics (featured in the video above, which shows off the game’s first ten minutes) and upgraded them to 256 colors. Should the new HD version do well enough, the later games in the series — there were six games released before Magna Cum Laude and Box Office Bust came along — could follow, complete with enhanced graphics, sound, and controls. Brand-new Larry games are also a possibility. Posted by: admin in Gaming News Thank you for Visiting Gameforumer.com, Hope you enjoyed the stay with us. |

If you look at the new Korean trailer (link), which is actually a remake of the Chinese trailers, you will see a PvP match in there. Again, there is no mention of PvE. If you are a sucker for Dungeon Fighter or Vindictus kind of combat, this isn’t really the game for you. I feel like jumping off the cliff on the back of a horse trying to get this through to people… Talking about PvE, killing mobs will drop players normal equipments, materials and some random items. There will not be any currency dropping as far as I have seen. Currency comes in 2 kinds, tradeable and one which is soulbind to characters. Most quests give players both kinds of currency upon completion.
This is just a simple example of the Miracle Quest/ Encounter feature. For more advanced encounters, players will really have to build up the relationship meter with the NPCs. There isn’t really a guide on which NPCs lead to what encounters though.
Yellow square – Karma. Having done nothing significant, I am still listed as a commoner. Do note that his is not the official title system. Purple square – This is the interesting one. Other than normal equipment look on the left and cash costume look on the right, this is the “social status” look. I am not really sure what this might be, perhaps important people in the game, for example the leader of the number one guild, might get access to exclusive costumes. Below are the other 3 tabs which can be found in the character stats window, each briefly explained. Reputation – Shows the reputation points players have with each clan and in the overall game world. There are different levels of course, filling the bar will open up the next.

| Posted: 10 Oct 2011 10:28 PM PDT Battlefield Heroes is a 3D third-person shooter with stylish cartoon graphics. Players join either the National Army (the Germans), or the Royal Army (the Brits) in this casual World War 2 era shooter. Each faction has the same three class choices – Commando, Soldier, and Gunner.
Publisher: Electronic Arts – EA Digital Illusions CE Website: http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/en/ Pros: +Stylish graphics. +Casual, humorous atmosphere. +Simple controls, optional tutorial. +Vehicles including tanks & airplanes. +Achievement system. Cons: -Only three class choices. -Must launch from website. -No lobby. -Can't switch roles or sides during battle as you could in previous Battlefield titles.
Battlefield Heroes is the latest in the popular Battlefield series, and the first to be offered free-to-play. Unlike previous titles, Heroes has a third-person view, cartoony graphics, and is aimed at a broad, casual audience with streamlined controls and low system requirements. There are two factions to chose from – the National Army and the Royal Army, both of which have access to the same three classes. Players earn valor and hero points as they play the game, with which they can purchase new weapons and items. Each class has multiple guns available for purchase, and more are likely to be added in future updates. As of the open beta there is no lobby system. Instead, Battlefield Heroes relies on match-making, though players can hop into the same room with others added as friends. Vehicles, which have always been a big part of the Battlefield experience, make a return in Heroes. There are currently three vehicle types, including jeeps, tanks, and airplanes, all of which can be easily used by players. The three classes are: Commando - Sneaky fighters who rely on cunning and subterfuge to achieve their objectives. Their starting gear includes a long-ranged rifle, TNT, a knife, the stealth ability, and a self heal ability. Soldier – The standard soldier on the Battlefield! Soldiers have diverse abilities that make them useful in all situations. Their starting gear includes an assault rifle, shotgun, TNT, a self heal ability, and a group heal ability. Gunner - The heavy class of Battlefield Heroes. Gunners have the most health of all fighters. Their starting gear includes a machine gun, shotgun, TNT, a self heal ability, and an absorb damage ability.

| Battle of the Immortals MMORPG Review Posted: 10 Oct 2011 10:13 PM PDT Battle of the Immortals is an action oriented 3D fantasy MMORPG. The game mixes Norse and Chinese mythology to create a unique game world and lore. Play as one of 5 classes, each with their own special armor sets that grow along with the character.
Publisher: Perfect World Entertainment Website: http://boi.perfectworld.com/ Pros: +Interesting pet system, catch any monster. +Auto-Navigate system makes questing simple. +Soul Gear & weapons that gain levels. +Good music. Cons: -Poor character customization. -Interface could be better. -Botting system & auto-walk too much automation.
Battle of the Immortals is an action MMORPG that blends Norse mythology with a Qin Dynasty era Chinese game world. The game has many staple features such as pets, mounts, PvP combat, and an auto-navigate system but also has plenty of new innovations. Among these is the Soul Gear system in which equipment gains experience and grows with use. Additionally, the Zodiac System grants characters special powers at certain times depending on their character's selected birthday. Classes: Berzerker – Ruthless fighters that excel at physical combat and demoralizing opponents. Berzerkers can dish out consistently high damage and have high physical defense. They are vulnerable to magic attacks. Champion - Disciplined warriors who excel at defense. Champions use shields and have high physical and magical defense. They can draw enemy attacks away from their allies as well. Slayer – Silent stalkers with high dexterity. Slayers execute quick strikes and deliver critical blows. They make up for their lack of defense with evasive abilities and skills that disable their opponents. Magus – The masters of elemental magic. Magus can deal heavy damage to a single or multiple targets in an area. They have low physical defense and rely on allies for protection. Heretic - The priest class of BOI. Heretics control the flows of life and death with their spells. They can protect and heal their allies, or corrupt enemies with shadow skills. A must-have in any serious group.

| Battle of Destiny MMORPG Review Posted: 10 Oct 2011 10:03 PM PDT Battle of Destiny (BoD for short) is a 2D, fantasy-themed, side-scrolling action-MMORPG published by Cubizone. In both graphics and gameplay, BoD is a lot like the old-school side-scrolling fighting games commonly found in arcades.
Publisher: Cubizone Website: http://bod.cubizone.com/ Pros: +Fun, fast-paced gameplay. +Equipment enchantment system. +Joypad / controller compatibility. +Many quests. Cons: -Terrible English translations. -Very limited character customization. -Very linear 'stage' based progression.
Battle of Destiny is a side-scrolling action-MMORPG that both looks and plays a lot like Nexon's incredibly popular Dungeon Fighter Online. One thing worth mentioning right away is that the official Battle of Destiny servers are located in Malaysia, so Western players with slower internet connections may experience some latency issues. Anyone that's a fan of side-scrolling action-MMORPGs should certainly find something to like in Battle of Destiny. If you've already played Dungen Fighter, Battle of Destiny may be worth skipping, as the two games are remarkably similar. The game's classes are: Swordsman – Swordsman are the generic 'tank' like class in Battle of Destiny. They have the highest hit points and armor in the game, and make formidable opponents in melee range. Fighter – Fighters are extremely similar to Swordsmen, in that they have high defense and are a melee-oriented class with one exception – they have a greater emphasis on dealing damage. Fighters are proficient with powerful fist weapons. Archer - Archers are deadly with the bow. They are fast and agile, which allows them to deal damage rather quickly from a distance, but are vulnerable in melee combat. They tend to wear lighter armor than fighters and swordsmen, but heavier than what a Mage can wear. Mage – Like in most games, the Mage in BoD is an offensive spell-casting class that is capable of dealing enormous amounts of damage from a distance. They have access to both devastating direct damage and area of effect spells.

| The Darkness 2 Already Looks Like Digital Extremes’ Best Game Posted: 10 Oct 2011 06:30 PM PDT Once upon a time, getting about in a Zelda game was such a clear-cut process. You had your dungeons (anywhere from four to 12, depending) and you had the overworld that linked them all together. Aside from the occasional spin-off (Four Swords Adventures was broken into levels, and Majora’s Mask centered around the hub of Clock Town), that’s how it always worked. You’d wander around, maybe poke into a cave for a Heart Piece, clear away some scrub, fight some bad guys, and eventually work your way to the next subterranean puzzle labyrinth. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is mixing things up, and — for the first eight hours of the game, at least — the results are pretty great. Skyward Sword’s design makes the distinction between overworld and underworld much muddier than in past games. Perhaps that’s appropriate, since this adventure divides its world into three layers rather than the usual two. Above the dungeons, you have the overworld; meanwhile, above it all is the realm of Skyloft, best described as an aerial take on Wind Waker’s sea. At the heart of Skyloft is a large city held aloft by (one assumes) ancient magic or technology or something, but the skies are littered with floating islands, and Link travels between them on the back of a huge red bird.
