My favorite pc games

Goodmorning everyone!

   How are you? How has life been treating you the last days? I hope all of you are doing fine.

As long as for me the past days have been kinda weird. Good events mixed with bad ones, with awkward ones and all of it blend together with weariness. But don't worry. I'm never tired when it comes talking to you!

   This time i decided to write about something that i promised you long ago but never found the time to.My favorite pc games!
   I am not the greatest gamer there is, but i have some interesting gaming past and i am impatient to share with you my all time favorite games.

With no particular order the titles are:

Heroes of Might and Magic
Tomb Raider
The Sims
Prince of Persia
Devil May Cry 4
Dungeon Siege
    Let's get into more detail, shall we?


    Ah! This game brings to me so may feelings. It is undoubtedly my favorite game ever! I have played it non-stop since the time i discovered it and never, NEVER, get bored.
    The titles i have played are:

    HoMM 2 : The Succesion Wars
    HoMM 3 : Complete
    HoMM 5

       Heroes of Might and Magic is a game of strategy. The game takes place on a ''map'' where you have your castles and heroes, which heroes can recruit creatures from the castles, in order to create an army so as to expand and take control over the entire map.
      Silly and simple as it may seem, this game never ends, always offering you the same thrill as the first time (for me at least).

       From the three titles, my favorite by far is HoMM 2 : The Succesion Wars. The graphics may be simple but it's not its graphics that you rely on for enjoyment. It is easy to navigate and use, quick to install, save and load games, like literally it is installed on your pc in something like 2 minutes! Extrordinary. And you can now have a never-ending game, always providing you with enjoyment and that doesn't take any place on your computer.
       The HoMM 3 follows the same concept as HoMM 2 just with different creatures, new spells and abilities, always having the same advantages as i mentioned above. One negative thing ,my opinion always, is that it is a more demanding game. You either have to use cheats or be a decisive player, because the enemy evolves really quickly.

       About HoMM 4, i don't have something to say (simply because i never played it) and about HoMM 5 it is an ambiguous game. Still is an exellent game, with nice graphics, capable of keeping you interested, but doesn't follow the exact ideas of the first versions.


       It takes much longer to load, the characters take their time to move on the ''map'' , the map is no longer a map but a 3d top view of the game's world, making it harder for you to make out where you want to move your character.
       It is really improved on it's gameplay in comparison with the previous versions (more spells , more character and creature abilities , better race specification ) but for me a quick game , that gains your interest for the strategies that you implement than the impressive visuals , is worth more.

       That's why i have played Heroes of Might and Magic II, more times than i can remember.

    There is also a Heroes of Might and Magic number 6, which i haven't read the best reviews about ( that's why i never gave it a go ) and i also read that a number 7 is on the way. We shall se. Till then the only thing i could wish for is more maps for the HoMM 2 game, as i have run out of them :(







    Some more ''childhood'' memories here. As most of you i presume , i have played all the Lara Croft : Tomb Raider series games , except for the first two titles.

       I won't tire you with details, because it would take ages for me to say my opinion about each game (if anyone is interested let me know and i will post is as a different post in the future), i just want to highlight 3 things :

    1. Tomb Raider number 6 , called Angel of Darkness , is crap (those who disagree i apologise) full of glitches and a sick storyline.

    2. The new generation Laras ( from game number 7 and afterwards ) rock!!!

    3. If i had to choose  a favorite title , i would choose among Laras number 4 (Last Revelation) , 5 (Chronicles) , 8 (Anniversary) .





    Hehe, another ''worn out'' game. This one is really addictive. It's like playing with dolls but on you pc.
    Among Sims 2 and Sims 3, i would choose Sims 2, because i find that Sims 3 take forever to load, and that even though  your sim's abilities are of a bigger variety, they are in fact so many that make the gameplay more complex.

    Sims 2 is a more ''safe'' choice, providing efficient enjoyment.






    Prince of Persia it was a long time ago that i played it and only the title ''Sands of time'' . Still i remember it was a nice action game, with some nice killing, interesting and original storyline, including some romance and nice scenery. It is an old game though, and i doubt it can ofter the same amout of enjoyment today.




    Another good action game, with cool fighting gameplay. The storyline isn't something impressive , but it gains a bonus from the excellent graphics, scenery aaaaaaaaaaaaand its hot boys ;)




    Finally we have Dungeon Siege, one of my most played games (i think it comes second after HoMM 2).

       Again nothing too impressive, it is an old game, but it saves and loads really quick and offers you never-ending enjoyment with its simple gameplay.
       All you do is that you recruit a group of warriors (maximum 8 i think) , each one according to his fighting method can turn into an archer, soldier , nature mage or combat mage, and what you do is go on a single mission on the map, following a certain route , killing enemies on the way and gaining levels.
       During your travel the scenery changes, as well as the enemy creatures, and your heroes can collect different weapons and artifacts.

       I have tried to play Dungeon Siege 2, but i didn't really like it so i gave it up, and lately it has been released the Dungeon Siege 3 game which i am curious to give it a try.







    So what do you think about my favorite games? I can't wait to listen your opinions on these games or even on others that you have played.


    Kisses my gamer girls and boys
    I will talk to you soon
