Console Games vs PC Based Games

The debate has raged for years, Console games vs traditional PC games. Now I say traditional, because the use of a keyboard and mouse for gaming movement on the PC has been around for many years now. From a PC perspective, they've always had the upper hand. More powerful video cards, more accurate input for first person shooters (using mouse and keyboard is ideal!) and a massive base of PC users to sell to.

For console vendors, they had to first sell a specialised device into the living room before they could start selling games. But now, they are getting much more powerful hardware, blueray drives and the like even before PCs are seeing them in the mainstream. The game designers for consoles also have a solid, set of hardware specs to work with - they know there won't be any change so the code can be totally accurate and push the gear the limit.

On the pc they can't do this, software games developers need to ensure that the game will run on all sorts of hardware, software and systems.

One thing swinging games back into the favor of PCs is the new releases of online free browser games; the likes of the evony game and kingory game now free to play are gobbling up internet gamers very quickly because accounts are free.

Will this trend see more PC based and internet based games dominating?

Evony Free Forever Login

While users in Asia have not experienced this problem, some Evony users from the USA, UK and Australia have found that at times the evony login simply fails. This has been put down to either lag, connections problems or server overload.

UMGE who make evony have done well to expand the server base, but at times (certainly peak periods) the servers cannot handle the flux of gamers and simply lock up. Follow directions from the logging in guide at aimsgraz.org to solve some of these problems.

DOTA users shun Evony Free Forever

Its funny how some games remain closely linked or popular with groups of players. But with DOTA and Evony Free Forever that link has never really remained connected.

Dota gamers flocked over to check things out with Evony earlier in the year, but were put off by the tame war elements in the game.

It seems traditional DOTA gaming fans like fast paced action where controls at the keyboard constantly are required. The slower paced of evony with drawn out attacks and controls that didnt require them at the keyboard - just didn't light their flame.

To this day, DOTA remains hugely popular with gamers around the world and in plenty of net cafes and gaming cafes where internet fans join together and go the LAN or battlenet warzone route.

DOTA Still Popular with Gamers

DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) is a multiplayer third person action strategy. The game it stems from is a real person strategy with a base and various unit building structures. In the regular game there are heroes but they are accompanied by the army that you build using the resources you harvest. Defense of the Ancients is a different game altogether. It is Strictly hero based with auto armies that spawn for both teams.

Each team consists of up to five players. Most competitive DOTA matches are five vs. five. Each team has a base with three entrances (mid, top, and bottom). At each entrance spawns of armies called 'creeps' are created and sent toward the enemy base. Your hero then follows and the idea is to gain entry into the enemies base and destroy it. These are the basics of the game but there is much more that can be done throughout the game.

At the beginning of each game, the host can choose the game mode. There are many game modes, the most common being allpick or allrandom. There are over 90 heroes to choose from in DOTA, allowing for many different combinations of teams. Each hero has a unique set of skills that can be leveled up throughout the game by gaining experience. One of the best components of DOTA is the amount of different hero combinations and weapons that you can buy. Each hero has a certain class: Strength, Agility, and Intelligence and the amount of stat points in each category will vary from hero to hero. The possibilities are virtually endless for trying out new heroes with different weapons.

Dota is a very competitive game and is great for anyone that wishes to get involved in a game that is fast paced, and loaded with different possibilities each team you play. I personally have logged 200+ hours with this game over the last couple of years. All you have to do is purchase "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos" and then purchases the expansion pack "The Frozen Throne."

Some insiders are suggesting that keen DOTA gamers are switching over to the new free web multiplayer game offering from UMGE called Evony (evony.com) but this is yet to be confirmed - as quoted gamer numbers in Evony aren't official.

DOTA Strategy

DOTA stands for Defence of the Ancients. It is a mod for Warcraft 3. Since its inception, there have been a number of good DOTA Strategy guides written about it.

Here are 7 DOTA Strategy 101 tips to help you get into the game.

Tip #1 Farming

Farming means killing creeps or neutrals for gold. The more enemy creeps you kill, the more gold you'll receive. Sometimes when farming becomes difficult, player may turn to farming neutral characters for extra gold.

Tip #2 Last Hit

Last Hit means moving in close to hit the enemy creep for gold. Damaging an enemy creep does not provide gold, so its beneficial for a non-ranged character to move in for a last hit to receive this benefit. This also allows you to stay out of range of the opposing team.

Making a last hit requires a feel of the timing to deal direct damage for different characters. You can get a feel of this simply by playing the game often. A good strategy is to keep the thumb on the "ALT" key so that you can readily see the life line of the creeps, and only move in to get a last hit when its life is low.

Tip #3 Hot Key

Hot Key is an essential DOTA strategy. Different spells are tied to different buttons which when pressed will activate the spell. Since battles in DOTA last only a few seconds, clicking on the icons with the mouse is a little slow.

Tip #4 Mouse

Getting a good mouse is important for DOTA. You'll also enjoy the gaming experience more with a good mouse, skates, and mouse pad. Get it from: http://razerdeathadder.blogspot.com

Tip #5 Item Build

Having the right item build will increase the power of your character. Some characters require more health or more speed, or more mana as the game progresses. Knowing the complimentary item build for your character will increase its power and direct damage.

Tip #6 Team Play

In competitive DOTA play, its necessary to play in groups. Public DOTA Strategy and Competitive DOTA strategy are different with the latter being more difficult and emphasis on team cooperation.

Tip #7 Mana Required

Always take note of the amount of mana required to cast 2 spells. 1 spell alone will normally not be sufficient to take down an opponent.

Tip #8 Item Cost

By understanding what items need to be built, you'll be able to know the cost and time your return to the fountain. Less trips back to the fountain means more time in the battle field, which translates to more gold and experience for your DOTA character.

2moons game by Akklaim

I recently tried the large MMORPG title called 2moons game by Akklaim. I thought this popular gaming title which is free to play online must be attracting gamers for all the right reasons.

I have been a fan of Akklaim for a long time, their titles from the arcade have been awesome - the likes of Mortal Kombat and others have cost me a fortune in gold coins since I was a kid.

Once trying 2moons the game, I was impressed by how the akklaim gaming developers - have morphed the best of the massively multiplayer online world (traditional strategy gaming) with the boom-bang action of the arcade gaming titles.

The other impressive part of the Akklaim offering is they allow gamers to get free 2moons coins if they fill out forms and take part in user surveys. Very few other MMORPG or MMORTS games from develoeprs offer a free way to get game coins like 2moons does.

Evony Curse Promotion

The curse.com gaming review site has a really good promotion available to evony free forever players where essentially those who purhcase evony game coins could get access to a free $50 voucher for gamers.

The free voucher will allow MMORPG / Evony fans to get $50 bucks worth of free game coins which is a handy saving off the standard deal offered by UMGE / wowmine.

Curse also run what seems to be the largest evony wiki site, which has already got some good content and is a great referral point for players / gamers regularly tapping into evony online.

There are some other smaller wiki's out there, but at this stage the curse offering seems the best and with the relationship between the curse gaming group and the developers behind umge (gamers should feel confident this is the best spot for gaming wiki info)

Evony Town Attacking

One concern of late with the new online free browser game Evony Online Game is the time, focus and resources needed when you are attacking a town.

Whether its an NPC (Non playing character) based town or even an opposing Evony Web Game players town, if you hit them with a large army, even if you have some success in the raid, you'll need to backup quickly with another wave of attack otherwise they can quickly (and automatically) regroup based on the way Evony works.

So tip to remember, attack in large numbers of course but have a secondary wave of attack ready to go (archers, swordsmen etc along with workers to transport the booty back)

Evony Best Free Online RPG

It seems the general consensus from the online gaming community, certainly in the free browser gaming RPG genre that new release Evony Free Forever from UMGE is the best offering for gamers looking for quality graphics and intuitive gameplay.

While at times a delayed Evony Login has frustrated some users, the growth of server lag is understandable given the astronomical almost viral growth of the new free rpg browser game online.

It seems DOTA users too have taken to Evony with open arms as the online game climbs the ranks.

Online Browser Games like Evony

We've spoken about it recently, but the growth in the free online web browser games arena seems to actually be making a small dent in the general static PC gaming industry.

We've pointed to Evony, the recent smash hit MMORPG that aims to bring a World of Warcraft feel to a simple yet good looking browser interface. It might not be simple in terms of gameplay, keeping true to the RTS and MMORPG gamer core, but the overall concept of Evony is quite attractive to both players and potential investment companies.

DOTA (a mere mod) was a game that really made Blizzard sit up and take notice. Their Warcraft3 franchise suddenly had so much more potential, this time through a simple MOD (Game addon).

The other interesting part to the online browser games community is the how the new growth occurs, a release such as Evony which is highly positive and gets new gamers into the scene actually can draw new players to the free online game spce.

Suddenly people are search for titles such as Travian and Dogs of the Sea to name just a few in the browser based gaming niche.

Early Evony Players with Advantage

The average age of gamers inside new MMORPG - Evony, is set around the 12-20 year age bracket. The majority of these early gamers will be only interested in the 'free' format of web gaming offered by developer UMGE in the Evony space.

Smartly, UMGE know that as the older players (25-35) age group get wind of Evony they will be much more prepared to buy game coins to build their Evony city faster and catch up in terms of power to the early adopters, the early players will have more Evony prestige, more cities and will be in a stronger Evony alliance.

The game has plenty of room for expansion, the uptake has been quick and UMGE could possibly continue to add new aspects into Evony to keep existing players with high prestige from getting bored and walking away from their cities and conquests.
