L.A. Street Racing (Overspeed: High Performance Street Racing)

Description

Matt Peacock is the best race driver in the underground of L.A. and you want to take that title away from him. But of course the best of the best does not race a newcomer so you have got to race your way up starting from place 61.

At the beginning of the game you choose one of two available cars and then you go and wait at the COOL-Market for contestants to arrive. Once someone willing to race comes by, you are given a choice of tuning parts of your opponent you can race for. Before all races you have to bet at least one item from your own to start the race and since you cannot save the game manually, losing a part means that you have got to earn it again.

Every part of your car (engine, nitro and so on) can be enhanced in several stages and once you have collected all parts of the same stage, you can do a pinkslip race in which the opponent bets his car. Losing that race will cost every single tuning part you have collected for your car. The parts you win are limited to the car you win them with so you cannot swap them between cars. If you put parts of different stages on your car, the handling will decrease so you need to decide if it is wise to get the power of the tier 3 engine if that makes the handling of the car much worse. …

The Lord of the Rings – The Battle for Middle-earth II

Description

The storyline follows the lesser known story of the War of the North, which took place at the same time as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The game makes use of the book license in addition to the existing license of Peter Jackson’s film trilogy, which also results in some characters which were not seen in the films being present in this game. Also included are some original characters, like Gorkil and Drogoth. The campaigns are once again split to the Good and Evil, but instead of taking place on a meta-map, they are entirely linear in nature.

The game features six playable factions: Men of the West (combination of Gondor and Rohan from the first game), Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Isengard, and Mordor. The base system has been completely overhauled, allowing for free-form construction around the map. Resources are still primarily gathered by farm-type structures, but they have to be built far from each other and on suitable terrain for optimal income. Some neutral buildings like beacons, taverns and shipyards can be captured by infantrymen, much like tech structures in the later Command & Conquer games. In addition to this, production structures (unlike farm-type ones) have to be manually upgraded to be able to train higher-tier units. More units are available per faction, new support powers can be selected in the Palantir, and custom heroes can be designed and trained in skirmish and multiplayer. Taking the One Ring (from a killed Gollum unit which can occasionally appear on a map) to a fortress will allow the player to train a Ring Hero – Galadriel for the Good factions or Sauron for the Evil factions, both heroes being more powerful than any other unit in the game. …

The Lord of the Rings – The Battle for Middle-earth

Description

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth is a real-time strategy game set in the Lord of the Rings universe and makes use licensed elements from Peter Jackson’s film trilogy.

The game features four factions: Gondor, Rohan, Isengard, and Mordor. Bases are comprised of a fortress structure, a limited number of nodes upon which other buildings can be constructed, and surrounding walls with gates. Farm-type structures bring a constant income and raise the population cap. Further nodes can be found on the map to create more structures, either new fortresses or just farms. Unit production structures can level up with usage in order to gain access to more powerful or specialized unit types and upgrades.

Regular units (with the exception of artillery) are trained in squads, and much like in WarCraft III, heroes can be trained. Heroes can gain up to 10 levels through experience in combat, and as they level up, they get new abilities and spells to cast. The player can also gain experience points in combat, much like in this game’s immediate technological predecessor, Command & Conquer: Generals, which can be spent to unlock support powers from the Palantir, which in turn form a special tech tree as they act as prerequisites for each other. …

Lego Racers

Description

Lego Racers is a racing game played from a third person perspective. Set in the fictional Legoland universe, the game depicts Rocket Racer, the “greatest racing champion” in Legoland. After becoming bored from beating everyone at racing, he decides to create a racing contest, and finds the best racers in the history of Legoland using a dimensional warp machine created by his friend, Veronica Voltage, a genius scientist and mechanic. The player takes on the hosts and co-racers in circuits of races in an attempt to reach and beat Rocket Racer and become the “Greatest Lego Racer of All Time”, completing the game. The circuits are contested by the player, the host, and four co-racers relevant to the themes of the tracks featured. The hosts are, in order, Captain Redbeard, King Kahuka, Basil the Batlord, Johnny Thunder, Baron Von Barron, Gypsy Moth, and Rocket Racer himself. In the first six circuits, there are a total of 12 unique tracks, four per circuit, and three per one of four themes: Castle, Pirates, Space, and Adventurers. The later three circuits revisit the tracks from the first three in reverse order with each track now mirrored. The final circuit consists of only one track: Rocket Racer Run, but still features four co-racers relevant to the previous tracks’ themes.

Players assume the role of either one of several pre-built or custom-built minifigures and compete against other minifigure characters in races set across different tracks in the Legoland universe, using a variety of cars built out of Lego. At the beginning of each race, the player can perform a “Turbo Start”, which allows the player to start the race at full speed. Throughout races, the player can also perform power slides and “Super Slides”, which allow the player’s car to turn around corners more sharply. …
