Shadow of the Colossus Demo
September 29, 2005 By Leave a Comment
What I love about the game is that you can very literally travel anywhere, and the map is insanely big. It feels strangely like a life simulation - the graphics/physics are incredible and the freedome factor is unique - no other game I've encountered pulls it off so well with amazingly life-like surroundings while maintaining such a vivid fantasy setting. For anyone who's played Ico they'll know the detail and style I'm refering to (only I believe in this game it's better).

'Jade Empire' combines action, story well
May 31, 2005 By Leave a Comment
When "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" was released a few years back, many people hailed it for its deep, branching storyline and different combat system.
When it came time for a sequel, however, developer BioWare passed on it, choosing instead to concentrate on a completely different role-playing game.
That new game was "Jade Empire," and it's now apparent that BioWare made a brilliant decision.
