Kings of the West

Mod review

This Mod Manages to provide a breath of fresh air and add replayability to BFME 1 with new units,powers,spells and heroes, Sauron is a little weak in this mod, but that is only minor as its probably for balance issues, Rohan's new men of the westfold finally provide a melee unit for rohan that is worth putting money into. The factions now all have one pikemen unit, so isengard isen't the only faction that can stop Rohan, The mod manages to balance out the game more than it was to start with by giving all factions Vital units (Rohan didn't have a mid level melee unit, only isengard had pikemen etc)

All in all, an Excellent addition to the Bfme Mods

C&C: Red Alert 3

Game review

I'd say this game is okay,unit scaling is totally messed up and i think needs fixing, the empire of the rising sun looks like its a combination between transformers,anime and Plastic toys. The naval combat is a nice idea though.

The water and the graphics are beautiful, The game lacks seriousness but the fact that every race is diverse and every unit has a special ability is a nice touch, personally, i thought the cluster rockets for the V4 were the best

The cartoony graphics didn't exactly go with the serious story.

Lord of the Rings: Conquest

Game review

I'm not sure what to say for this game, well, the game is actually lacking in content, it feels unfinished like they rushed to release it, the game has a shut down multiplayer and instant action fails to live up to the instant action of battlefront 2. The fact that the game is unmoddable further makes the game have less content.

After you finish the campaign, there is no more content to do, and the campaign is hard enough with the Invinsable captain units that knock you down every 2 seconds

the only class that is actually any good is the mage, the warrior is always being knocked on the floor, the scout has ridiculously low health and the archer takes down enemies far to slowly,meaning you get swarmed by the weaker 'grunt' NPC's

There is a bug on minas morgul where somtimes Aragorn just automatically dies.

Overall, given marks because it tries to give battlefront in lord of the rings style,but fails due to lack of replayability, no SDK tools and shut down multiplayer, a dissapointing game

Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

Game review

An Average game,however Land combat is kind of Lacking, Space combat is good but is really a large number of explosions, the new race was kind of dissapointing, why not include a race everyones heard of like the republic and the seperatists , or the Old republic and Sith, or even the New republic and Imperial remnant, rather than making up a race that is weak compared to the others

Star Wars: Warlords

Mod review

An awsome mod, it really captures the feel of massive space battles, the ships stay true to the movies and other parts of starwars
