2004 had a very disapointing first two months in terms of games released, but march seems to change all that, since many titles are coming out soon. 3 games really caught my attention on this month roster; Battlefield Vietnam, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Sacred.
Battlefield Vietnam is looking pretty good, but I must admit I was in doubt at first, I means it looked good but hey, I have Battlefield 1942 and mods why should I buy this game? Well it seems they changed quite a few things actually ( no more stelling vehicules in the enemie's base and no more parachutes for everyone were on my wish list but it seems it won't hapen). What really made me changed my mind was the price tag I saw at Futureshop, only 39.99$ ( sale ends 18 march 2004). Great gods, only 39,99$ for a game that has such a great potential, they must be mad I though, but no, it seems all games coming out at this time are inexpensive compared to previous releases.
And so Unreal Tournament 2004 which brings back the great Assault mode and includes mad vehicules is only 49.99$. Although it seems only an expantion to the acclaimed UT2003 I think it offers much more and will be much better. Makes me think I should of skipped UT2003 and waited for this new version.
Finally, Sacred, which has already been dubbed " Diablo 3 " by many poeple of the press seems addictive like Diablo 2, but one main thing sets it appart from D2: the number of quests, more than 144. Also its more beautiful (3D chars on 2D background) and the world is bigger. It sports 5 original char/classes, sets, uniques, 3 progressive levels of difficulty (much like normal/nightmare/hell) and instead of having an B.Net it has a A.Net.
Well thats all for this month.
