genre: 角色扮演 / Adventure … platform: Windows / PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 publisher: Codemasters
Liquid Entertainment开发的一款希腊神话新作《阿尔戈英雄的崛起(Rise of the Argonauts)》。本作是源自于希腊神话,男主角杰森呈坐亚戈号踏上了他找寻金羊毛的旅程,他的足迹踏遍了七个岛屿,但是在这七个岛屿上面的人对于主角却有两面的看法,有人认为他是一个领袖,有人认为他只是因为未婚妻被杀才开始了复仇之旅,也有人认为他是针对篡位的叔叔才展开这场复仇的旅行,在整个旅程的一开始,主角会先被珀利阿斯抓住,历经三次的大战才会重获自由。   在本作当中,玩家可以使用的武器为剑,矛,盾等等的武器,开发团队精心设计了这些武器的战场,攻击中攻击到特定的位置,可以将敌人断头或是把身体剖开,当然还有很多的部位是可以被斩断的,相当血腥!!不过也相当有快感。   另外要谈到希腊众神对于本作主角的影响,在本作当中,主角必须要为所有的行为付出极大的责任,玩家的一言一行,都逃不过众神的法眼,你所做的任何决定都会影响到众神对你的观感,游戏当中最主要的神有太阳神阿波罗,智慧女神雅典娜以及战神阿瑞斯和商业之神赫尔莫斯,基本上主角的武器攻击能力都是由众神来掌握的,所以要善用战绩系统来取悦每个神明,针对某位神得战绩标榜的话,就可以获得极高的眷顾,获得不同的技能训练,以提高能力,当然玩家可以掳获许多众神的芳心以取得更多的技能。   另外在游戏当中,将会有经典的神话角色来协助玩家找寻金羊毛,力量巨大无比的海格力特以及美女神射手亚特兰大还有传奇的工匠达罗斯会为玩家打造传奇的武器等等,这些角色将会为玩家的旅程增色不少。

Starbreeze Studios AB other title: 暴力辛迪加 / 暴力辛迪加 Syndicate 2012-02-21
genre: Shooter platform: Windows / PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 publisher: EA Games
Syndicate is a reboot of the Bullfrog strategy series franchise from the nineties. Unlike the original games where the focus was on tactical management of a shooter squad, this version is a first-person shooter set in the same universe but without strategy elements. The game takes place in 2069 in a world that is ruled by syndicates following the invention of a neural chip implant that gives users direct access to a dataverse network without the use of electronic devices. Due to this technical revolution, the world has been divided between chipped and unchipped people, where the latter refuse and oppose the advancement. There is tension between the different syndicates as well, with lots of corporate espionage. Syndicates battle his by deploying bio-engineered agents that are enforced with chips. They defend the intelligence of their own syndicate and attempt to infiltrate others. Players take command of Miles Kilo, an agent of the Eurocorp syndicate. He has a new prototype chip and is sent out on a mission to test the abilities. The events of this first mission set in motion the storyline for the rest of the game, filled with espionage, betrayal, brutal murders and the opposition of unchipped civilians who are deemed terrorists. The game is played from a first-person perspective and Kilo can carry two weapons at a time, along with grenades. The gameplay includes a cover system and health regenerates automatically over time. His DART 6 bio-chip provides most of his abilities. He can slow down time and activate x-ray vision. Another element are the breach powers. Kilo is able to hack into opponents and then choose one of the three options: Backfire (guns jam up an do some damage, makes them leave their cover, and they become more vulnerable), Suicide (enemies execute themselves or use a grenade when they are in a group) and Persuasion (enemies turn to your side for a short time, but commit suicide when there are no enemies around). Multiplayer is available through an online four-player cooperative mode in a separate campaign based on missions from the singleplayer game. It is divided in smaller segments with resupply points. Players earn experience points through kills, healing squad members, and completing objectives. At the start of the game one of the three available classes is chosen, with further customization through power and weapon loadouts. The collected points can be spent to update the main chip through a tech tree and unlock additional breach powers, unlock weapon improvements such as reload times, recoil, capacity ... and a tech tree for abilities more closely tied to the chosen class. There is no competitive multiplayer mode. (Moby Games).
