Dragon's Crown!


    Dragon's Crown is finally out for Europe, too! Guys, it exudes style from everywhere! Musics and graphics are awesome, as is the gameplay, even if the latter becomes a bit confusing when you have one (or more!) Wizard or Sorcerer in your party :) . The RPG components are a great extra: the possibility to develope your character and the huge amount of loot you collect after each mission both add longevity and depth to the gaming experience.

    I'm just at the beginning, so I still can't play multiplayer, but I'm very curious about it. My first choice have been the Fighter, and he kicks asses quite hard, but I think I'll start a Wizard right after completing the first gamethrough!

   The Art Book I bought the game with (bundle for a honest total of €36,29) is full of beautiful draws which illustrate all charaters (with pose list) and locations.


The Kings of Dragons (1991)
    Guys, this game make me feel so nostalgic about my youth, when I played the legendary Golden Axe, The Kings of Dragons, Knights of the Round and Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom as coin-ops to the local bar, often with a friend smashing buttons on the "2P" location.

    Now sorry, but I have a kingdom to save and a more powerful sword to drop :D !

It's been a while, in a galaxy far far away!

    It's a while I don't post here! All my GURPS works has stopped since I begun to play Pathfinder as a player. At the moment I'm preparing some adventures using the Star Wars Saga Rules. This set of rules is based on the d20, which I don't like very much at all, but my actual game group is very comfortable with this system, so I'm disposed to give it a try. It's always Star Wars, after all, and what matter most is the setting and the mood, not the rules :) ! It's possible we'll try the new Star Wars: Edge of the Empire game, published by FantasyFlight Games, but I need to buy the core rulebook first, which is quite expensive here in Italy.

    I'm videogaming like hell in the latter times. I platinated 25 games so far, this year, most of them in the second half of the year. I rarely replay old games, but this new hunger for Platinums made me willing to go back to each game I own for Ps3 which don't have many online trophies, At the moment I'm playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 on PS3 and Soul Sacrifice on PSVita (great game btw!), while Amazon just shipped Beyond: Two Souls.

    Winter is coming, here, and it bears dark days, so pleasant to spend on a sofa with my animals and a good book or videogame. In a few months I'm moving to a new house, much bigger than the actual one, and I'm going to buy an enormous,  monstrously comfortable sofa :D !

    May the Force be with you all!!
