Hunted: The Demon’s Forge Xbox 360 Game Review

Set in a dark fantasy world, Hunted: The Demon?s Forge is an unforgettable cooperative action game. Taking control of either E?lara, a ranged weapon expert, or Caddoc, a master swordsman, you must use a variety of weapons, powerful spells, and cover tactics to battle your way through menacing dungeons, overgrown ruins, and downtrodden towns. Discover secrets and complete co-op-based puzzles to discover answers to the game?s deep, dark mysteries.


I like it so far, wish they made more games like it for the Xbox 360. You can switch characters to your liking at certain spots in the game. Single player is full screen, you can co-op online or off. So I forced my bf to play with me the other day and then it goes split screen. Not a fan of that but it’s got that Call of Duty feel to it then, and you can roam around freely. So if you play the Female (hunter) she can say, Shoot ice arrows to freeze opponents and then the male character (melee) can then smash them to pieces, etc. Or use her to disarm/destroy shields/armor so he can than take them down quicker.

The dungeon crawling aspect of it, is doing things like having the hunter light her arrows from a fire and shoot an unlit pyre to light up a hallway, the male character can also pick up clubs and light them as well. Male character can also move heavy objects like, pieces of walls and statues so that you can find hidden objects and side quests. Female can blow up pieces of wall with Exploding arrows. Lots of puzzles to figure out as well, mostly side quests but rewards are decent. It’s a blend of Dragon Age/C.O.D./dash of Oblivion…but that’s just my opinion.

No annoying “inventory full” crap because you wear/yield everything. Once shields have taken a beating they deteriorate and you must pick up a new one. There is no shopping/selling. Weapon effects (poison,ice, etc) also diminish and they will become plain weapons, so again, you’d just dispose and grab new ones.

More to come, so stay tuned…

Age of Conan MMORPG

Some of you know me as a gamer, most of you don’t.  I have been gaming since the release of DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online), but most recently have logged onto Age of Conan.

The game seems much like the others, but I had to upgrade my computer just to be able to play.  The reason was the graphics are more 3D and my graphics card needed a little boost.  I really had no problem upgrading since I like to tinker with all the things computer related.

I am really not sure how many of you have played DDO or Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO), but AoC seems like a step into the next decade from those games.  I have a buddy key available for use of a 7 day trial if anyone is interested.  Contact me if you are.
