The Classic Fan's choice: Both [Prorotype] and Assassin's Creed

  After we got an e-mail from some anonymous fans, we decided that we will take the e-mail and review their wishes and let them in the blog. For the fans' epic luck, we found both games somewhere in our archives of original video games we had forgotten and will have these persons feel pleasantly. However, we decided that both games need to be remembered and reviewed.

  For now: Expect reviews of [Prototype] and Assassin's creed!

  And don't forget: We MIGHT review your game, it's enough it has at least 70 MetaCritic score and is released sooner than 2011. Send wishes to our e-mail at theclassictrolls@gmail.com and we will check the game(s) as soon as possible and make a review.

  IMPORTANT: DO NOT send e-mails for: DotA, League of Legends, games of such type and genre and games of mostly racing and sports, like NFA, FIFA 'X, Need for Speed. We need some action in these games you send and please, let them not to be very simple.

  Example e-mail:

  Hello, Classic Trolls,
I would like from you to review the game "LOLOL", the game "LOLOLOL" and the game "LOLOLOL". (And thanks in advantage, I love your reviews)

Unreal Tournament 3, the face of the modern sci-fi shooter

   As of today, we see most games are "militarized", just like some games as Far Cry, Crysis, Call of Duty, Battlefield. Aren't they too contemporary and militarized? There is almost no sci-fi! But in this review, we show almost the full opposite of these games. The Classic Trolls present... Unreal Tournament 3.

   It's been quite a long time when games like the Unreal series were dominant at the gaming. Unreal Tournament 3 is the not a very known game, due to the reason militarized shooters came to the gaming world, for example Crysis, and hasn't become a very popular game. But it still remains a classic amongst us, the Trolls, not only because of the engine but because of some other additions: Each player is the same when he/she starts, unlike most MMOs; It is enough simple to be played without you need to think, but enough complex for some other professional players.

   UT3 uses the best (for us) engine ever made for computer games, Unreal Engine 3. This engine has been used in many sci-fi games, just because it is concentrated the ratio Performance : Graphics to be as big as possible. Think of what realism it has been used in the engine. Take a look at one of the games using it. Aren't they realistic? The good is that you need a "slow" machine to run some of the most latest game using the engine! Not like the Cry Engine where you will want to cry of the performance (Sorry, Cry Engine lovers, but it's true!)

   The story of UT3 is a bit short, but here is what happens in it: The Necris invasion on Earth starts, and all of a sudden, you and your clan are one of the first in their attack. Akasha, the organizer, is the one you want to kill throughout the Campaign. What you only want is revenge. After they attack you, you are almost unable to fight. But after some rest and some training, the action starts. Before you can push the Necris back, you need vehicles in order to destroy some of theirs. That's why you have to fight Axon, the facility that creates these vehicles (best in world). You can choose which missions to fight, what additional bonus cards to play and this way you pass on through most of the gametypes until you make the Necris retreat. In the last fight near the Earth, you push them back, go through the portal they created and reach their homeworld. You pass a few fights until you reach your ultimate goal - the dead body of Akasha.

   Enough with the engine, now with the game. The game is a bit like a combination between the older 2 Unreal Tournaments (UT2004 and UT'99). But, though, the weapons and vehicles are almost the same, except they look really fantastic. The classic Impact Hammer has returned, and now it can be used to knock off power-ups. The Enforcer returned, this time its secondary fire is a burst of 3 shots, and the classic secondary fire is now automatically activated when you are close enough. The Bio Rifle has a changed secondary fire. This time the blob fired with alt-fire sticks to the enemy and drains his/her life little by little. It still remains a lethal weapon when being contributed. The Shock Rifle and Link gun are still the same, only some graphical improvements. The minigun now has a changed secondary fire: firing lethal shards that kill an enemy in 3 hits and can pin them to the wall. The Flak Cannon... still the same lethality as ever in most games. If you have played any of the Unreal Tournament games, you know its power on close combat. The Rocket Launcher is the same from UT2004, except you can fire grenades instead of rockets when pressing 2 times Fire while loading Secondary Fire. The Sniper Rifle has the same lethality and is very dangerous in any kind of combat due to the headshots it can make. The AVRiL and Redeemer still remain the same. Currently being a bit lazy to write differences in vehicles, but I can tell the Scorpion still remains a Manta killer.

Most power-ups are back, adrenaline is removed, but another very special deployable has come to UT3. We present you... The Slow Field. Slow the time for anything that's in it, but doesn't save from fall damage, just like the time is slowed. The Mine Layer has been turned into a Spider Mine deployable, but it is very lethal against troops and slowly moving targets. The trollful EMP Mine is here to make you cry because you just fall on one of them while you were driving your Leviathan. The Stasis Field protects you from up to 4000 damage, but players and vehicles can go through it. In the Bonus Packs, there are lots of other stuff that came in, such as maps, gametypes, mutators and deployables

Now it's time for the score:

Overall score: 9.7/10
Graphics : Performance score: 9.8/10
Story score: 9/10
Choice (maps, weapons, gametypes): 10/10
Engine score (lighting, physics): 10/10

Livestream! Now LIVE!

Note: After a sudden delete of the previous post, it comes rewritten here

We now have a Livestream channel in twitch.tv! We are going to do a lot of things, such as talking while playing a certain game, showing the aspects of the game, recording our first play of a game and even showing some glitches!

The link to the channel in twitch.tv is: http://www.twitch.tv/TheClassicTrolls

We will review the game while we are playing it, showing the engine capabilities, even show the evil "glitch"

PS: The Livestream may not be with good quality, even it might have dropped frames, but this happens when the Big Troll doesn't have a good upload speed.

Youtube, we are coming!

We have some EPIC news for you!

Since the Bigger Troll (methehtrollface(r) or sometimes as icis4) has a new gamer computer, we can start Youtube-ing! Expect a lot of first-try-record-and-review videos in our channel, also known as "Theclassic Trolls". We will record as much as possible videos with walkthroughs, reviews, fun moments and a lot of other stuff we haven't thought of it yet.

PS: The other (Small) Troll (also known as xxxSMDxxx) currently has a small HDD to record, so at least until the autumn, there will be only videos from the Big Troll's view. Expect this blog to be updated with each game we review in Youtube!

After both of us really love games with Unreal Engine, we start with the classic "Unreal Tournament 3"
