Adventures of the Legal Dan

Well, it’s 11:45 on Friday night…. just after the footy!! I’ve done mostly nothing today except for Maths (which I have a helluva lot to do before July). I also played a little Mount and Blade…. hey! I haven’t yet put in a plug for M&B! O.K, here we go:

Mount and Blade is a medieval combat/RPG game which I have been obsessing over for the past 5 months. It has decent graphics, and limited quests, but where this game shines is the incredibly good gameplay. It has horseback archery/sword fighting the likes of which have never been seen before. You will almost feel like you are there when you swing your Sword of War straight into an enemies neck… The game works by having a game “map” on which you travel by selecting where you want to go. On the way you can be intercepted (and intercept :P) parties of different troops. You are then taken to a 3d arena style battlefield on which you play rather like an FPS. The other really good aspect of this game is the ability to build up a party of men to battle with you. You can “hire” different NPC’s, but the innovative idea here is that you can also just hire generic troops and upgrade them. Ah well, I’ve rambled on about this enough for now, so why don’t you go check it out yourself? The link is in the Links section to the right, under Taleworlds…

Other than that, I hope you all have a great night. Catcha around,

Daniel
