Prepare for action as Lara Croft gets ready for a new adventure! Eidos launched Tomb Raider Underworld a week or two ago, and ever since then I found it on various pirate sites that I'm not going to mention here. The team who cracked the game has a name that starts with "R", but that's all I'm gonna say about it. I'm not a snitch. Anyway, I thought I should delight you with some pics and maybe a video of the game.
I've heard everything now! A "Remastered" version of Sherlock Holmes The Awakened was released last month by Frogwares... well, I can say that's the last game I played before my old PC died (RIP, old friend), since I currently use a wreckage of computer to type my entries on the blog and surf the web for game info. I liked the improved graphics, the in-game hint system for dummies (sorry about that last part, I couldn't hold myself), and most important, a 3RD PERSON PERSPECTIVE! WOW! Now that's awesome... not! Let me tell you some news! 3RD Person Point and Click is not what fans meant by asking for a 3rd Person Sherlock Holmes! The perspective in Remastered is the same as the one in Dracula: Origin, and it sucks all the same. I liked the first person (that you can use too if you wish) perspective. It made everything feel too real. And I was impressed to see that the Watson teleporting glitch was fixed. Oh yeah! That's a relief! That glitch really made fools of the producers. You could see the videos all over YouTube... it's great that they removed it. Really great. You should give the game a try, you'll see that it's worth it. The Remastered version is a masterpiece! If any producers would listen to what users have to say about a game and release a patch/a Remastered version, the game industry would definetly grow... sadly, all the recent games are purely commercial, so... don't expect the producers to care about your opinions. Here's a YouTube video in which the game's features are explained:
The next chapter of the online book "To 221 B Baker Street" will soon be out. I can't give up a release date, as I'm not sure when I'm going to finish it. Right now I have a little lack of ideas, but I promise it's soon going to appear on the books website (haven't checked it for a lot of time, I hope freewebs didn't delete it :D).
Later edit: I had a sudden stroke of inspiration and I wrote CHAPTER II: SECONDS FROM EXPLOSION. It's available on the site. You know how it works. Click on the "To 221 B Baker Street" link on the navigation bar, and then click on the name of the chapter you want to read.
I started this as a place to publish my gameplay recordings. I thought it would be interesting to upload my experience with the game, me playing it in real time (maybe not for the first time, because I don't want to bore my viewers by wasting time walking around the game's world like an idiot trying to solve a puzzle when the solution is right under my nose).
I also posted written reviews here and I had an attempt at a video review (that was never posted). I don't know what the future reserves me or this blog. We can only wait and see.
