From the creators of Diablo, it is a game set in a post-apocolyptical era. London 2038 taken over by demons from another plane. You play as either Cabalaist - magic welding but demon-controlling mage-like class, Hunter - modern man whom relies on more technology or Templar - wearing hi-tech armor like Halo but using swords and melee weapons. Its a blend of magic and technology.
Today after marking. Its been 10 days of marking. 4 days of PSLE and 6 days of SA2... Headed down to Funan centre after 6pm to check out the launch of Hellgate London. Its kinda low-scale but was more interested in the user-interface and the gameplay itself.
WOW! Its like Diablo, with lots of diablo-style user interface. The graphics are fantastic, a major upgrade. Interestingly can play either in Third-person player or First-person player. And for First-person mode, its like playing Counterstrike, a more high-tech one. Sorely tempted to buy but stopped myself cos I needed my sleep. IF I had bought it, tonight sure game until zombie. But will think about it. The game cost $60 for the single and multiplayer modes. Single mode is story-based. Multiplayer is played online like a MMORPG. Fee paying for multiplayer to be launched later.
So I headed down, looked and was wowed. With a collegue, went to check out also some Palmtops. He strongly recommended Palm. I tried both Palm and PocketPC and agree very much with his assessment of it being very flexible as opposed to the rigid selecting and scrolling style of the PocketPC. Seriously PPC cannot make it. Rather use a computer instead, so wont have to squint and scroll. Will aim for it in January with the new $400 then.
It was kinda fun and refreshing for a change from work. Too bad tom still got work. It really kinda felt like a Friday... sobz
