Anarchy Online is a Sci-Fi Online Role-Playing game, developed and published by Funcom, which was released in 2001. Development of the science fiction themed game was led by project director Gaute Godager and story developer Ragnar Tørnquist at a time when most role playing games made use of the more common fantasy setting. As a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), players log on to a virtual world that persists indefinitely with or without player interaction. Players create unique characters that they improve by killing enemies, collecting resources, fighting each other, and various other activities. The game's ongoing storyline takes place on the fictional planet Rubi-Ka, and its extra-dimensional twin.

Gameplay

Anarchy Online gameplay based on the same features as many of its predecessors in the MMORPG genre of games. Players create unique virtual characters based on two genders, four species, and 14 different professions such as Agent or Doctor in the planet Rubi-Ka, which is located on the far side of the Milky Way Galaxy. They then choose to align themselves with either the Omni-Tek corporation, the rebel Clans, or to remain neutral. On the planet of Rubi-Ka, a battle rages between the haves and have-nots in a time when the clans seek liberation from the all-powerful Omni-Tek corporation in the name of justice, voluntarily if possible; from the barrel of a gun if necessary. The leaders of both sides are desperately seeking a solution that can stop the violence ravaging the planet, against a backdrop of betrayal, military raids and conniving political games, cyborg assassins and modified humans.

Players can take part in the game's content either alone, in small temporary teams, as part of a formal organization, or any combination of the three. Organizations are semi-permanent groups. In addition to killing the variety of enemies found in almost every region of the game world, players also attempt quests or missions to gain experience. Fighting between players is controlled by the use of "supression gas". You are 30.000 years into the future. You're in the age... of Anarchy Online.

Ragnarok Online

David



Ragnarok Online often referred to as RO, is a MMORPG created by GRAVITY Co., Ltd. based on the manhwa Ragnarok by Lee Myung-jin. It was first released in South Korea on 31 August 2001 for Microsoft Windows and has since been released in many other locales around the world. Much of the game's mythos is based on Norse mythology, but its style has been influenced by Christianity and Asian cultures. The game has spawned an animated series, Ragnarok the Animation, and a sequel game, Ragnarok Online 2: The Gate of the World.

Anyway, for those not sure as to exactly what the hell this game is, I'll state it simply: It's a more simplified Massive Multiplayer Online RPG with a semi-static world and and an equally simplistic graphical style. The graphics are beautiful in their own way. The game's world is rendered in full 3d with a nice amount of detail and some of the most well-done texturing I've ever seen, while the PCs and NPCs are 2d sprites much akin in looks to the ones from FFT.

Basic Abilities

- Trading
- Sitting
- Opening chats
- And expressing yourself with these neat little emoticons

When you reach the highest job level for the novice, you can become a:

- Swordsman
- Thief
- Acolyte
- Magician
- Merchant

Gameplay

Ragnarok online is fun, and fairly addictive, despite being very simple due to most features not being implemented. The most you can do right now is go spelunking in dungeons to fight stuff, level up, collect rares, and go play with parties. PvP or PK has not been added as of right now (3-11-02), but an arena is going to be opened in the future for one-on-one matches, along with a normal PK option. Also, actual quests and true bosses will probably be implemented along with new classes later on (Gravity says there will be 30+ classes in retail.).

Dungeon Siege Online Game

David



Dungeon Siege is an Action Role-Playing game of the immersive elements combines with over-the-top intensity and non-stop action, developed by Gas Powered Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios, which was released in 2002. Dungeon Siege plunges you into a continuous 3D fantasy world where you face off against an army of evil that has been unleashed.

Gameplay

The gameplay is a pause-and-go tactical management mixture and point-and-click action. The mechanic is highly similar to that of latter Ultima games, and to a lesser degree, action RPGs like Diablo or early MMORPG games like Asheron's Call. The Dungeon Siege quest is highly linear and involves constant hack and slash battle, similar in some ways to platform and beat them up games.

The game uses a display engine that makes the entire experience seamless, with no load screens. The interface is completely scripted with a programming language and the development of its expertise. This scripting system allowed for many "siegelet" add-ons, which modified game play. The party system is automated but efficient with basic formations, resources, and action-response. In addition to being able to recruit non-player characters (NPCs) that function much like the player's own character, it is possible to buy a mule to help carry more items as a member of the group. Players can recruit and disband party members, but must retain at least one party member at all times. Dungeon Siege supports multiplayer cooperative gaming over LANs and the Internet.



Features

Stunning 3D

The entire world of Dungeon Siege has been created in full, magnificent 3D and Great Vertical Landscapes.

Sound

Dungeon Siege features an orchestral soundtrack by award-winning composer Jeremy Soule. It's perfect for it's Genre.

Bonus packs

Yesterhaven and Return to Arhok.

Yesterhaven is a multiplayer short story that can only be played online. Return to Arhok continues the story of Legends of Aranna and requires both the expansion and Windows XP to run.

Game Play

The gameplay in Age of Empires III is just like how it is in the previous installments of the series and pretty much any RTS game with own unique elements. It start with the basic stuff for new RTS players: make a base, build an army, and then annihilate the enemy and claim the lands as yours.

Players explore the map and begin gathering resources (food, coin or wood) which are spent to build additional units and buildings and to research upgrades or technologies. Actions such as training units, constructing buildings, killing enemy units etc earn the player experience points.

Another thing about experience is that there are 6 ways of gaining it that I know of:

1. Get small chunks of Experience points as the game progresses. Don't have to do a thing.
2. Killing enemies, you gain an amount of Experience that depends on what did you kill.
3. Building the buildings and training units.
4. Winning the game to get a bunch of extra experience.

Adventure Online Games

David



An adventure game is a type of video game characterized by investigation, exploration, puzzle-solving, interaction with game characters, and a focus on narrative rather than reflex-based challenges. Adventure online games encompass a wide variety of literary genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and comedy.

Nearly all adventure online games are designed for a single player, since the heavy emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult. It is seen that adventure online games are more popular among the masses than other video games. The adventure online games involve issues like puzzle-solving and also exploration of various exciting ones where the players have lot of opportunities to take active participation.

For a greater part of the 1980's adventure games have been popular as compared to other types of games. Most adventure games come in the form of computer games although it's possible to find console-based versions these days. Although, adventure games were very popular in the 1980's, this popularity quickly declined in the early 90's when the Action games became the "rage". As a result it was not financially sound to create and market them when people had no interest. The advent of console game platforms and MMORPG has not helped either. Nevertheless popular adventure online games like Syberia and Syberia II have been published both for the PC and Xbox.

Prince of Persia Online Games

David




Prince of Persia takes the series into a whole new visual and gameplay direction. The game has a cel-shaded look to it but with an almost gritty feel to it. The chief innovations include an evocative art style, freeform approach to gameplay, and a cinematic battle system. The game frequently favors exciting visual displays of acrobatics and combat over tight moment-to-moment controls, which has the potential to frustrate. At its best, the new Prince is a thrilling tale that sweeps you up in its romance, adventure, and fantasy. At its worst, it can feel like a formulaic romp where you’re only along for the ride.

Platforming

Prince of Persia is unique in that platforming really isn't all that difficult. It's very handy and encourages exploration, so don't be afraid of missing a leap as rescue is but an Elika away.

Jumping

The "jump" button is the one you'll be using most often. It serves as the launching point for numerous stylish maneuvers, such as wall-runs and wall-climbs. But what if a single-jump isn't enough? By tapping the "Elika Magic" button during a jump, she'll give you a boost, doubling your distance!

Rings

When you running along walls, you will often encounter "rings" embedded in the surface--you must tap "Use" in order to grab and fling yourself onward, if you fail to do so, you'll fall and Elika will return you to the last platform.

Power Plates

There are four Power Plates in total which, and each grants a special ability for a limited amount of time, such as a long-jump, a wall-run, or even flight. Two of the four are completely automated, and thus require no user-input after being activated, however, the other two do afford a limited amount of movement--in these case, just dodge the various obvious obstacles and you'll be well on your way to victory.

Light Seeds

Light Seeds will appear all over the land you have just saved. In order to unlock more levels, you'll have to collect a set amount of Light Seeds and return them to the temple. There are 45 seeds per levels, many of which are in plane sight.

Combat

Combat in Prince of Persia is rather unique in that you only have four main attacks (in addition to blocking), but it's how you string them together that matters. A particularly potent combo is to throw your opponent in the air (generally after you've deflected an attack--discussed below), follow-up with a magic attack, perform a jump attack, then another magic attack! There are countless ways to string them together.

Many online games have associated online communities, making it a form of social activity beyond single player games.
