I finally got around to playing Alan Wake. I remember when it was announced way back in 2005, but I lost interest when it seemed to take forever to come out. It's actually been pretty good though. The perspective is hard to get used to at first, but after a while it seems to work for the game. Story is intriguing enough and the levels are long and challenging enough on Easy for me to turn to walkthroughs every now and then.

I also had a game related nightmare the night I first started playing it so that's always a good sign.

Anyone else plays Planetside 2? It is released today, beta ended some weeks ago, i have played it about 25 hours, and i can tell you this:
-I saw around 50 enemies in area sized Modern Warfare map... Altough it was assault, it was still awesome. And ALL of them human players
-Well balanced, tough it favours experiend players
-Map is bigger than all Battlefield 3 maps combined...
-3 factions
-You must capture bases, like you would capture GIANT flags in BF3... All of them are different, some hard to capture, some are constantly chaging sides. You also get somekind of bonuses from holding bases on your side
-6 classes: Light Assault, Combat medic, Engineer, Infrilator (spelling?), Heavy assault, MAX (juggernaut) different eguipment and weapons
-server player limit: 2 000 players... Yes, two thousand!
-3 continents in same server
-"command vehicle" (dont remember name) is big "juggernaut vehicle" that can be deployed, when deployed your teammates can spawn for it. Not OP, but hard to defend against that kind of spawn point, of course you can just destroy it. Problem is: Dozens of enemies, and there might be 3 of those vehicles in single attack... +tanks and air forces.
-Each faction has unique weapon/tank/air force look AND stats, for example Terran Republic has way better rate of fire with low range, new Conglomerate has most deadliest (powerful) weapons, and 3rd faction (cant remember name) has longest range
-faction player number is usually 33%/33%/33%, as side with less players gets small bonus for XP
-Vehicles and MAX cost something, each player has for example X vehicle money, and Y own money, own money is NOT used when buing vehicles
-Changing night/day times, sometimes with cool lighting.
-Different terrain (desert, mountains, snow, grassy plains...)
-Random spawn points available every 20 or 30 minutes ("parachuting")
-Themed factions:
Terran Republic=Communists, tough not directly confirmed, its easy to realise it.

The Terran Republic (commonly abbreviated TR) is one of three empires waging war for control over the planet Auraxis. They are characterized by having the fastest firing weapons, with the lowest damage per bullet. They also have the fastest vehicles, with the lowest armor. Their faction colors are red and black. This is the empire from which the story begins. Having existed for 1,112 years, it is the originator of all three empires.

The Terran Republic was officially established with the ratification of the Declaration of Constancy by nations weary of nearly two hundred years of war. They brought order out of chaos and introduced the world to an era of peace. Terrans eventually made space travel possible. From this, Wormholes were discovered, studied, and found to be a means of transportation from one area of space to another. It is through one of these wormholes that the Terran Republic found their way to Auraxis, an earth-like planet that could sustain life. They proceeded with their ambitious plans of colonization on Auraxis which continued uninterrupted for 20 years.

Things radically changed when the wormhole collapsed stranding the entire expeditionary force. They began research on how they could re-open the wormhole, which utlimately failed. During these uncertain times, "Vanu" artifacts were being discovered on Auraxis. Shortly after this, the development of "Rebirthing" technology began. It started to become clear to the Terran Leadership that this new technology could possibly destabilize future colonies. They established draconian restrictions on the new technology, so they could study it better without interruption or meddling by private companies or individuals. A sense of immortality began to create turmoil between developing groups of people with significantly different philosophies as to how the technology should be used. Already, a faction of technophiles emerged embracing the Vanu technology and its lost knowledge.

Unrest formed between the developing factions which was exacerbated by rogue scientists and republic military deserters, all blinded by the power that the Vanu Technology promised to bring. Previous attempts to quell the uprising ended in a bloody battle and resulted in the separation of the Technolords, who then declared themselves the Vanu Sovereignty. While this was going on, a second faction called the New Conglomerate seized the opportunity while the Terran Republic was occupied and left what they considered an overbearing Republic.

The Terran's weapons focus on killing their opponents using a rapid rate of fire, sacrificing damage for this ability. While their weapons have the highest rate of fire of the three empires, they do not have as much damage on impact. In PlanetSide 2, their vehicles specialise in having the highest top speed of any of the three factions, but less armor.

New Conglomerate=Capitalist freedom fighters

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

The New Conglomerate (commonly abbreviated NC) is one of three empires vying for control over the planet Auraxis. They are characterized by hard-hitting weapons and heavily-armored vehicles that are designed with straight lines and hard edges. Their faction colors are blue and yellow. The New Conglomerate was initially formed on Earth, over a century before the wormhole collapse as a mega-collective of civilian corporations who worked alongside the Terran Republic government on virtually every project throughout the solar system. After arriving on Auraxis, the New Conglomerate continued to work along with the Terran Republic on shaping and building up the new world. Over decades, tensions grew because of the rules the Republic enforced and the remaining corporations of the N.C. began rallying rebel groups on the fringe of the civilian population and began organizing a campaign of insurgency. It was then a small group of freedom-fighters that called themselves "Liberty's Call" staged a demonstration protesting the Terran Republic's blatant, systematic elimination of human rights. A large group of people gathered to hear their views; however, they claim the Republic's Riot Police put an end to the demonstration, killing every protester and even several innocent onlookers. Now, more than a hundred years later, the New Conglomerate, founded on the same principles as those supposedly slaughtered in the "alleged" Liberty's Call massacre, is determined to write a new chapter of history. A chapter free of the overbearing and draconian regime from which they claim to have emerged. Staging a short and brutal rebellion, the fledgling movement broke away from the Republic, wresting from it control of several rebirthing facilities and the loyalty of many of its battered and oppressed citizens.

Though the fall of the Terran Republic still remains the New Conglomerate's primary goal, there is no small amount of the group's animosity directed at the Vanu Sovereignty, another cell to have splintered from the regime. It is the New Conglomerate's understanding that the Sovereignty holds alien-influenced views of the human race as a flawed species; one they are attempting to mold into something different–something alien–through genetic modification and experimentation.

Guided by the idea that humanity deserves to be free from outside influences to find its own path in the universe, the New Conglomerate has decided that the Vanu Sovereignty and Terran Republic alike must be stopped for good, and their crimes against liberty brought to an end. Weapon systems designed by New Conglomerate engineers stress nothing more than the brute force they believe is needed to achieve their goals. While these weapons lack the accuracy, refire, and reload rates of the other empires' weapons, no guns can match the raw stopping power and bone-crushing force offered by those of the New Conglomerate. To a New Conglomerate soldier, long barrels and large magazines are simply signs of an unwillingness to get up close and personal and finish the job quickly.

The New Conglomerate's vehicles follow the in-your-face paradigm adopted by the faction by being outfitted with heavy armor designed to punch holes straight through an enemy's front lines. Though this heavy plating does leave them vulnerable to more agile enemies with faster reload rates, just one or two hits from a Vanguard's main gun is often enough to bring down all but the most hardened targets. Without exception, New Conglomerate forces pose a dangerous threat if allowed to close the gap and bring the full weight of their ordnance to bear on the enemy.

Vanu Soveirignity="Alien/Human" faction, human soldiers with futuristic weaponry

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

The Vanu Sovereignty (commonly abbreviated VS) is one of three empires waging war for control over the planet Auraxis. They are characterized by advanced directed-energy weapons and highly mobile hover vehicles. Their faction colors are purple and cyan. The Vanu Sovereignty derives its name from a long extinct alien race known as the Vanu, whose strange artifacts were discovered on the planet of Auraxis shortly after the first expeditionary forces from the Terran Republic arrived. When research of these artifacts led to the discovery of "rebirthing" technology, and subsequently the offer of immortality, Terran Republic scientists were made to keep the research on this new technology secret. The Republic did not want news of this technology to reach the civilian population and their massive private corporations. It was under these circumstances which they considered "oppressive" that the Vanu Sovereignty was formed and managed to persuade some "free-thinking" scientists to join its cause. As news of the wormhole collapse began to spread throughout the Republic, its leadership began to grow anxious. The Sovereignty broke away, taking many bright minds and scientists from the Republic and several rebirthing facilities with it. The Vanu Sovereignty now seeks to destroy the Republic for the freedom to experiment on this alien technology, alter and integrate human beings, and further develop and research without restriction. This they feel is the key to the future.

Through the use of the mysterious Vanu technology "procured" during their split from the Republic, the group developed exotic energy weapons to aid them in their cause. In addition, they began experimenting with ways to improve the human body through modification. It was this alteration of the human species that generated great suspicion of and ultimately a declaration of war upon the Sovereignty by the New Conglomerate, another faction which had splintered away from the oppressive Terran Republic and which saw the Sovereignty's modification programs as an affront to humankind's natural progression.

Now, surrounded by enemies that they perceive as awash in ignorance, the Vanu Sovereignty fights to claim Auraxis in honor of their namesake and prove once and for all that technology is might. The Sovereignty's weapons rely on quickly energizing a splash of plasma-like ammunition that destroys the very bonding attributes of the elements that make up the armor and flesh of enemy forces. These weapons do not have the raw impact of New Conglomerate weapon systems nor rate of fire of Terran Republic weaponry. Additionally, these plasma discharges are not subject to "bullet-drop" like traditional bullets are; instead, they lose potency over distance, causing less damage the further they travel before impact.

The Sovereignty's vehicles have been developed with special "mag-lev" technology that uses Auraxis' own magnetic field to counteract the effects of gravity. This allows them to completely forego the need for wheels in their designs, resulting in highly mobile vehicles capable of strafing left and right and driving over bodies of water. This comes at the expense of dense armor plating, however, as too much weight will render even their strongest mag-lev propulsion systems ineffective.

Halo 4. Or at least I will be playing it tomorrow when I have access to my Xbox. I did just buy it though, after having waited three weeks to get through my exams first. Bit disappointed already from what I've heard about the length of the campaign but I'm excited anyway.

**zznɟ ǝɥʇ** · November 21, 2012, 12:24 PM

Battlefield 1942 is a blast, and the teamplay is pretty decent somehow. Had a good match on Midway where 15-odd men landed at the same time and took the island.

Also Shogun 2, as per usual.

**tianzong** · November 21, 2012, 03:35 PM

c&c generals (shockwave mod). Waiting the day when rotr comes out (also mod). It's from the same creators as shockwave. Also started playing spore again and alone in the dark 5 (PC version) and RTW ofcourse.

Assassins creed 3, although SP. Problems with MP

**Ulyaoth** · November 24, 2012, 03:41 PM

I haven't had the time, opportunity, or will to play a game in a few months now. Want to get finishing Fallout 2 finally, I know it doesn't matter but I want to finish it before I start New Vegas which is what I've really been in the mood to start playing lately.
