Rome: Total War: Alexander Bangumi
other title: 罗马:全面战争:亚历山大 2006-06-19
genre: 回合制策略/即时战略 platform: iOS / Windows
Rome: Total War: Alexander is the second expansion for the personal computer game Rome: Total War. It is set in an earlier time period, putting the player in the role of Alexander the Great. It begins with Alexander's ascension to the Macedonian throne in 336 BC and lasts for 100 turns, each of which, unlike the original game and the first expansion, Barbarian Invasion, do not represent six months (assuming that it follows Alexander's actual reign of thirteen years, each turn would represent nearly seven weeks). The game is much the same as the original Rome: Total War, but with fewer factions, different units, and a different map. The player's goal is to conquer 30 provinces[2], including key cities such as Tyre, Halicarnassus and Babylon, within the 100 turn limit.

What I hate about early Total War games is the inability to play past the final date. I'm the type of player who likes to build a solid foundation before expanding, and this game totally does not provide opportunities for that. It's like playing with a timer.

On top of that, this particular expansion has only one playable faction, which is very limiting. I'd also like to see the map expanded. Just because Alexander never ventured West or North doesn't mean the player shouldn't be allowed to.

I will say the core battling gameplay here is probably the best in the series, but everything else has been improved upon in the sequels.

In conclusion, I think this expansion is ONLY worth playing for the historical role-playing purpose. As an actual game it has no advantages over the original Rome: Total War, especially considering the modability of the latter.

Rome: Total War: Barbarian Invasion Bangumi
other title: 罗马:全面战争:蛮族入侵 2005-09-27
genre: 回合制策略/即时战略 platform: Windows
Barbarian Invasion is the first expansion for the personal computer game Rome: Total War which takes the action forward to the period of the decline of the Western Roman Empire. The Rome Total War Gold Edition includes both the original game as well as the Barbarian Invasion expansion pack. The campaign begins in 363 AD and ends in 476 AD. If the player has not achieved the campaign goals in 476, an option to quit or to continue the game is presented. The expansion includes simulation of the religious tension of the period, as three major religions (Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Paganism) fought for dominance. Also depicted are the great migrations of the Germanic and steppe peoples (notably the Huns) throughout Europe.

Technically better than the vanilla original, but only because it lets you play all the factions.

While Alexander had a map that lacked Europe, this expansion's map lacks most of Asia. Not to mention it's not very accurate.

Still the turn limit makes this game practically unplayable for me. Despite how fun and addictive the core gameplay is.

I would still recommend the modded original over this.

Vanilla Rome: TW is benefited by its modability. Honestly, the original game isn't even worth revisiting these days, I think. But install the Europa Barbarorum mod, and you're gonna have a genuinely good time.

Obviously, this being such an old game by now, there are many minor inconveniences here, such as the inability to set build policy across all settlements or the lack of "select all units" button when clicking on a city. I believe strategy is one of the few genres that has been continuously and radically improving, consistently making older games obsolete. And this is one of those cases.

In particular I like how the consequent entries have expanded the empire-management aspect of the game. Rome: TW feels a little lacking in this regard, giving you little to no option for a tall play, which is why I will always prefer games like Civ 5 or Oriental Empires over it. But that's not necessarily a criticism of the game itself. At the end of the day, this is a wargame, and it does the war aspect justice. The actual battles are some of the best in the genre. They're dynamic and epic, yet at the same time aren't too complicated to figure out.

Dino Island is a theme park simulator not unlike Theme Park, Roller Coaster Tycoon, or even Zoo Tycoon. However, it is rendered in full 3D - players can rotate, pan and zoom at will. Dinosaurs, staff and visitors are fully animated. The game uses a typical point and click and menu interface.

I'm probably the wrong person to say anything about this game, as this is the only theme park tycoon game I've ever played. It seems pretty good, but I just have no interest in the whole park management aspect of it. My favorite thing here is crossbreeding dinosaurs and seeing what kinda strange results I'll get. That aspect is pretty deep because you can crossbreed any dinosaur with any other and there are tweaks you can make to get different results. The amount of dinosaurs you can create is insane. Unfortunately there's no true sandbox mode where you can set a high or infinite amount of money, so you're forced to think about the business of it, build restaurants and other shit to keep the visitors happy.

The tutorial is grueling, but once you get the hang of it, the game is very addictive. After a while it starts feeling like you're playing elaborate chess with a Cold War flavor rather than ruling a country. It gradually becomes more and more about numbers. The winner is determined by their score, and the highest score can be achieved by some manipulation. If you get a scoring card at the beginning of your turn, just cannibalize all your other cards for influence and pump it all into the region that the card will score. You can easily get 6-10 points in one turn. And getting ~20 ends the game.

I bet it's much more fun to play as a tabletop.

“当《反恐精英》于 1999 年 8 月发售时,这个并不靠谱的模组立刻成为了世界上拥有玩家数量最多的线上 PC 动作游戏,游戏业为之一惊。”Valve 的 Doug Lombardi 如是说道。“在过去的 12 年中,它一直是世界上拥有玩家数量最多的游戏之一,引领着竞技游戏赛事,并且在全球创下了超过 2500 万套的游戏销量。CS: GO 承诺将增强屡获殊荣的 CS 系列之游戏体验,并把它带给 PC 平台、次世代主机平台和 Mac 平台的玩家。”
Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror Douban
other title: 反恐特警 2002-04-24
genre: Shooter platform: Windows
《反恐特警》是先由玩家根据《虚幻》(Unreal)的程序引擎所开发出来的,但是后来原设计小组决定将这个结构完全由自己来开发,以便游戏的能力与特色能够完全展现,同时玩家不需主程序就可执行。 这个世界是越来越不太平了,无论是现实的还是虚幻的。恐怖主义的阴影笼罩全球的时候,我们只有握紧手中的钢枪,对准敌人的心脏开火……在这款游戏中玩家可以扮演恪尽职守的警察部队,在一场场出生入死的战斗中用生命和血汗来保卫一方平安。

Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror是1999年Infogrames公司发行、Epic Games和Digital Extremes开发的第一人称射击游戏Unreal Tournament众多Mods中最流行的之一。这个多人Mod的设计意图是实现一种“半真实的反恐体验”,在游戏中玩家分成两个队伍:特种部队(好人)或者恐怖分子(坏蛋)。为了完成一轮比赛,玩家们必须在预先分配的时间限制内(大约每轮4分钟)达成每一个给出的目标。游戏中没有重生的设计,因此被杀的玩家在本轮余下的时间内将无法复活。这个项目于1999年12月24日启动,2000年6月第一次在网上发布。另外2002年4月24日在美国发售了正式的盒装零售版本。
24岁的Laurent“Shag”Delayen是Kamehan Studios——开发Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror的年轻小组的负责人。“Tactical Ops是在我学习计算机工程的时候开发的,”Delayen说,“最初它只是学习Unreal引擎的一个练习,但是受到成功的鼓励,这个游戏变成了一个许多开发人员参与的完整Mod,后来又发展成一个零售游戏。”Delayen说他对这个Mod最喜爱的方面是“快节奏和街机的风格,而且依我看来,它也非常直观。”
