NL: PC Game Reviews Roundup

Here is a good way to start off teh week with some PC game reviews.

Risen (PC) Game Review @ Technic3D

"A sweeping story captivates players from the start! An epic story in an authentic world hand-crafted with an eye for detail and populated by "real", plausible characters. A Mysterious Volcanic Island The heavy tremors on the island bode ill for its inhabitants. Ancient temples have risen from the ground recently, bizarre creatures are terrorising the area. Fear and terror is spreading among the population. The End of All Hope? See you in the following Review from Technic3D the better Version from Ghotic 3." 

Darkest of Days PC Game Review @ Gamepyre

The premise of the game is solid with time traveling affecting the past and future a solid starting point for a game. Unfortunately, this game falls short of a great game in a number of key points. Invisible walls throughout the game limiting freedom of movement are a serious problem in this game. With games like Resident Evil and Left 4 Dead having much more understandable "walls" this game limits the player to an almost "On the rails" type of game instead of the promise of a free moving game. The graphics while outstanding in a few areas, mostly can be done on a DX9 class card and it shows. PhysX on the other hand delivers a realistic environment with smoke, gunfire and effects that make the game come alive.
