First Thoughts - New Star Soccer 2010

After a quick playtest, New Star Soccer 2010 definitely seems to have a smoother game engine than NSS4 - the matches look more like the real thing, with far fewer predictable patterns observable in the way things happen. So far all looks good, though it's still a game that will really challenge you before you get much success (though I did actually manage to score on my debut this time!)

Go Solihull Moors!

Wait a minute...

... haven't we seen this sort of advertising before for an online game? The name "Kingory" sort of rings a bell too... and the wording of the advert...

Neverwinter Nights - Hordes of the Underdark

It's taken me a long time to get into this particular expansion pack for NeverWinter Nights, but finally I'm hooked. For the first few hours I have to admit I've trawled through it mainly to see if anything more interesting happens - due to the nature of the storyline it seems to be merely a dungeon crawl at first. If you persevere though, the story gets more interesting and you are rewarded with some interesting characters and good puzzles to be solved along the way - along with plenty of creatures to battle of course. Basically the plot is that an underground dungeon of creatures captured by a mad wizard is being used as the invasion route by even more deadly foes further beneath the surface of the city - the Drow, dark elves ruled by a power-mad queen. All good stuff...

I think I still prefer Neverwinter Nights - Shadows of Undrentide, but this one at least is worth playing. It's quite tough at first but definitely a good one for levelling up your character - don't forget to save often though, there are some tough enemies out there and sometimes they appear without much warning!
