Movies, movies, movies! All that and more in our weekly PC Column.
by Steven Wong on Tuesday, August 16, 2005
Last week was all about demos. Speaking of which, if you're still among those who haven't tried out the demo for Dungeon Siege II, then there's no better time to download it than now. The game releases this week, and it is spectacular. Check out the review, too! But, if RTS's are more your thing than RPG's are, then check out the demo for Rome: Total War - Barbarian Invasion and catch a first glimpse of this upcoming expansion to an award-winning game.
Getting back to what I was saying, last week was a fantastic week for demos, but this week is a great one for videos! First-person shooter fans in particular are in for a good time. First up, a new trailer for the highly anticipated Call Duty 2 is available, entitled "Pointe Du Hoc Landing." Call of Duty has always been a title that stood out among WWII-themed shooting games, and the sequel seems poised to repeat history. For the less historically-inclined, there are a few sci-fi / fantasy themed videos up, including the Half-Life 2: Aftermath trailer and the Bet on Soldier Alaska trailer.
All that not enough for you? Then watch the gameplay footage we got from Quakecon showing off the gameplay and graphics from Quake IV. Just looking at it makes you want to load up a rail gun and blast away some strogg!
If shooting guns isn't quite your thing, but shooting cameras ARE, then see the trailer for The Movies. Is it strange and circular to be watching a movie about a game that centers on making movies? Maybe, but that's all part of the fun, isn't it?
