Hinterland is a great concept in which gamers can enjoy two completely different game play systems. The first goal of the game is to build a city, in the aim of building a powerful medieval town in the Hinterland. Very similar to Diablo, the gamer kills evil monsters and collects things (weapons, armour, potions) along the way, as well as recruiting town citizens to aid in the mission. Gamers begin as a simple character owning a simple house in the middle of a hostile land. The character has almost no weapons or protection at this stage, and will collect these along the way. During the game, new arrivals will appear in the town and they generally hang around for a little while deciding whether to stay or not. If the gamer decides that they would be a valuable addition to the town (i.e. doctor, craftsmen) he can decide to use some of his stored gold to build them a home. Once the newcomers are established in the town they can then begin to provide services to the gamer. A farmer can grow food and a craftsman can build armour and weapons; both very useful to the gamer. (more…)

Diablo III

The ever popular game Diablo III has been changed ever so slightly for the better. The amazing graphics and quests will remain the same, but death will not be quite as bad as before. The town will still be a form of sanctuary where you can buy healing potions, armour and weapons from the residents who live there. Dungeons, adventures, and a different world all together exist outside of the town where you will need to go to complete your quests. Whereas previously whenever you died you would reawaken back in town, the new Diablo III will now feature various checkpoints throughout your quests. As you walk through the dungeons and castles, you will come across these places which will then be saved accordingly.  When and if you die, the game will continue at your last checkpoint and you no longer need to start back in town. When your game resumes, you will start again at the last place that you checked in with a little bit of life left, which will gradually build its way up giving you a chance to fulfil your quest. This new feature to the game is designed to enhance your experience as the previous death only served to break up the excitement of the adventure. Thus far, the new death in Diablo III has been greeted with rave reviews, with players happy with the change.
