Rohan BLOOD FEUD (Part 2)

I am not the only one in the grade that plays Rohan. As a matter a fact, most guys from the grade have tried it (Caio, Felipe, Kevin, Filipe, J.P., Lucas, Daniel, Matheus), but only the most experienced and skilled players have prevailed ( Me, Caio, J.P.). Even so, we need each other's help through the game, for it truly is a hard game to beat. What made me continue playing this game, instead of quitting like the others have, was the challenge I did with myself, to surpass J.P.'s cousin's level in the game. What also made me continue, was the fact that I was already a bit higher in level than the rest from my grade, and that I loved the game so much.

The game has an amazing graphic display, much better than the previous rpg's that I have played before (Pristontale, Angels Online, etc.). It also has many little details that improve the game display and movement. Details such as mounts (spiders, wolves, horses, and even boars) help you move through the game more quickly and pets (lions, bears, and even tigers) help you fight by giving you a bit of extra power. The game is very pvp rounded, but to get to the higher levels and to start fighting it does take a long time. I myself have played this game for about 10 months and I only have a character level 78 and another level 64, being the level limit 99.

I love this game, probably my favorite rpg, but still I'm more fond of the first person shooting games such as Call of Duty and Counter Strike. That's also a reason why I'm not so strong in Rohan, I don't play as much as the other two.

Rohan BLOOD FEUD

For starters, Rohan is an online rpg (role playing game) game, which is based on the player versus player mode (pvp). In the game, players all over the world create their characters, and within the characters, are enabled to choose it's class and race. For each race in the game, there are two possible classes, and they are the following;
  • Human- They are the characters with highest base life and defense, they are melee based race, and they can become Defenders (which are strength based or vitality based) or Guardians (Dexterity, strength, or hybrid builds)
  • Elf- They are healing based characters, however, whenever they get to level 50, the player can choose to make the character a priest (healing based) or a templar (pvp based) which is the strongest class of the game.
  • Dhans- They are the rouges of the game, they were meant to be assasins, and probably are the best 1 vs 1 characters in the game. They can become avengers or predadors, not many differences between them other than the skills, still, most people prefer avengers.
  • Dark Elf- They are the mages of the game. They have the worst physical defense and melee attack, yet, they have the best magical defense (not very usefull since they are the only magic attack based characters) they can become wizards (based in fighting monsters) or warlocks (based in fighting other people)
  • Dekans- In my humble opinion, they are the most creative race I have ever seen, they can evolve into dragons, and they have the ability to heal themselves and convert mana into life, they are blue, and they can become sages or knights, which depend on the build of the player's choice, inteligence or strength, if he chooses vitality build, both are applicable.
  • Half Elf- They are the archers of the game, they are faster than all the races, expecially when they use "Winged Foot" that duplicates their mobility. Rangers are the mainly chosen class, because scouts don't really help much, and rangers are stronger in pvp.
Although Rohan is a free to play game, and is easily downloaded, a person rarely gets through the game quickly without investing money in it.

Halo: Reach


In Halo: Reach, players experience the fateful moments that forged the Halo legend. Halo: Reach is a more multiplayer based game that Halo 3 was. It is actually a multiplayer rounded Halo 3. Since Halo 3 had career mode and other single player modes, Halo Reached based itself on multiplayer interation only. It improved Halo 3's gameplay and graphics and gave a bigger variety of weapon choice and maps in which people may play at.Characters, enemies and environments are rendered in amazing detail by an all-new engine, with an improved graphic never seen before.

I loved Halo 3 (as I explained earlier in another post of mine) and I think that Halo: Reach will be certainly a great game as well.

Fieldrunners

I discovered this game originally because of my friend and classmate J.P. This game, Field Runners, is a typical tower defense game. Like other tower defense games, the main idea, is to defend your base at all cost. However, this game is an Iphone game, therefore it isn't very complex nor with levels. It is the type of game in which you compete with yourself and your friends for the best score.

The game consists of 5 weapons in which you are enabled to use to destroy the enemies that are trying to invade your base. The weapons are the following;
- machine guns
- slime guns
- flamethrowers
- lighting weapons
- grenade launchers

The weapons above are sorted by their price. Enemies that are trying to invade your base keep getting stronger as the game flows and you keep winning. In order to set these weapons, whenever an enemy is eliminated, you are awarded money to set new weapons.

There are many different enemies that try to conquer your base. Motorbikes, tanks, helicopters, airplanes, and war balloons are only some of the vehicles that are used to do so. Overall it it a very addictive and fun game to play. I myself have beat J.P's score, and have only his cousin to beat for the top score.

Pokemon Soul Silver


In 1999, Nintendo took advantage of the amazing worldwide success that Pokemon were. The original cartoon, was probably watched by every child of that time from years 5-10. After seeing that Pokemon was becoming an international success, Nintendo decided to create games about it. Among others, are the Gameboy series of Pokemon, the most important and famous Pokemon game of all times. In 1999, Nintendo released the game Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver. Among the 10 Million copies sold, 1 of them was mine.

I admit that I adored the game, such that I beat the game, but restarted it over and over again. Now, Nintendo creating the DS version of the game. With much improved visual impact and technical graphics. The game has just been launched, the official date of the release was April 2, 2010. I'm going to the U.S. in my vacation, and I'm sure to buy a copy of it!
