Game of Thrones: Episode 3 - The Sword in the Darkness Review - Alternative Magazine Online

After a competent but somewhat underwhelming second episode, The Sword in the Darkness picks up the pace immediately, raising the stakes and bringing with it some wonderful storytelling moments and plot developments that should help calm any fears that Telltale Games is playing it safe. Rest assured, if youre a fan of the hugely popular HBO television show of the same name and youve been as of yet undecided whether to start playing its time to pick up that gamepad.

| Six of the best Princes in gaming
Added: 02.05.2015 14:00 | 26 views | 0 comments
Royal sons in games have much more variety in their lives than in the real world, where they just sell corned beef and pies in tins. Grocery joke for you there. We’ve seen princes puffed up with noble quests, ousted princes fighting for their birthright, orphans unaware that they’re even princes – even digital doppelgangers of Buckingham Palace bluebloods (as in 8-bit butler sim Flunky). On the whole they have it better than gaming’s princesses, who rarely get to do more than sigh, shrug and be kidnapped. Let’s seek an audience with some of the good eggs and bad lads of royal bearing…
.
Probably the best-known RPG hero prince (apologies to FFIV’s spoony bard Edward). Marth of Altea has slain dark dragons in his native Fire Emblem and tussled with angels, Pokémon and the Hero of Time in Smash Bros.
FromSoftware’s first-person PSX series was full of royals on rock-hard quests, such as castaway prince Alex seeking the Moonlight Sword on the grim island of Melanat. He returned in the next game… dead, and haunting a fountain. Nice.
World-class lunatic who made for several great boss battles. Trapped, up to his knees in his own dead guards with arrows sticking out of his back, vengeful Highland Prince Luca kept on coming like a medieval T-800.
The smaller the Prince, the bigger the responsibility. This perky gent was forever rolling new celestial bodies after the King (a deranged cosmic liability) wrecked the old ones. Monarchy: it’s not all glamorous.
He stands at the Tower Of The Moon, looking Southeast to the Downs Of Shadows. Luxor and pals led the charge against the armies of Doomdark, 30 years ago. 30!
Ultra-rich alien, Black Sun crime lord and overall bad bugger. Planned to usurp Darth Vader, kill Luke and cop off with Leia using his creepy pheromone powers until Dash Rendar and pals blew up his palace as a gentle warning.

| 18 Pretty Great Bloodborne Weapons and Armor Sets
Added: 25.04.2015 2:09 | 8 views | 0 comments
1. The Saw Cleaver
This is the best weapon to use as training wheels when you start your quest. It's pretty lightweight, so it allows you to run in and thrash on your enemies without tuckering out. You may graduate to better weapons as you continue, but when you're naked and afraid the saw cleaver will see you through. 2. Hunter Armor Set
You can purchase the Hunter armor early on, but you can also drop into the sewers before you face the first boss to snatch a set for free. It's got different stats than the Bath Messenger's Yharnam Hunter set too! Every bit helps when you start out so weak. 3. The Hunter Axe
The Hunter Axe is another early weapon, but you can hold onto it for a long time by fortifying it with blood stones and gems. It's got incredible reach, and enough devastating power to stun most enemies with a full charge. Once you learn to time its heavy swings, you become an unstoppable force. 4. Father Gascoigne's Armor Set
After wailing against an impenetrable boss for hours, nothing's more satisfying than wearing the clothes off his back. You can purchase them when your Insight hits 10 from the Insight Bath Messenger hidden in the Hunter's Dream. 5. The Repeating Pistol
This fella can be tough to manage since it sucks up your ammo at 2 bullets a shot. It's worth it to have in your arsenal though. For stunning giant targets, accept no substitute. You can purchase it after defeating the first boss. 6. Doll Armor Set
As you get deeper into Bloodborne you'll quickly realize armor doesn't carry the same weight it did in the Souls games (literally and figuratively). While you can mix and match sets to min/max stats for particular situations, you'll ultimately find the sets to be fairly balanced and mostly a matter of fashion. There's no shame in sporting the Doll set. 7. Ludwig's Holy Blade
You can buy Ludwig's Blade inside Hunter's Dream after you acquire the Radiant Sword Hunter Badge. If you've been around the block in the Souls games, then you'll feel right at home wielding this versatile death dealer. 8. Crowfeather Armor Set
In addition to looking ridiculously creepy and cool, the Crowfeather set has high blood defense, which could give you an edge against a fellow hunter in PvP. Fashionborne is the way to rock it. 9. The Tonitrus
If not the absolute best weapon in the game, the Tonitrus (aka the lightning mace) is at least the most fun to wield. When it's tricked it out, it deals some major bolt damage on enemies. Snatch it up outside Yahar'gul Chapel. 10. Bone Ash Armor Set
In addition to being menacing as hell, the Bone Ash set has some of the best overall physical defense stats in the game. It's very popular in PvP too, kinda the equivalent of everyone choosing Ken in Street Fighter. (Image via Six String) 11. The Cannon
You can score yourself a cannon in the Forbidden Woods, and you'll be so glad you did. It consumes a whopping 10 Blood Bullets per fire, but it's a great party trick to bust out on an unsuspecting invader, particularly when you spend all the stones and rocks necessary to upgrade it fully. 12. Graveguard Armor Set
If you're a Dark Souls veteran looking to replace your Crimson set, then you've found your match. If you want the cool hooded mask that goes along with it, continue where you found the set and look for the road with a fire and a whole lotta snakes. 13. The Threaded Cane
Many swear by the Threaded Cane, and while you may be tempted to call them crazy, it's got tremendous reach, and its whip form works great for crowd control. It's a bit harder to stagger enemies with, but in a skillful player's hands, you can witness the second coming of Simon Belmont. 14. Cainhurst Armor Set
Cainhurst is maxed out in physical defense stats, so it's tempting to keep it on once you acquire it. Keep in mind it's weak in elemental defense, so make sure to swap it if you face a boss that dishes out elemental damage. 15. The Blade of Mercy
After helping Eileen the Crow (or killing her if that's how you roll), you'll get the Crow Hunter Badge which allows you to purchase Blade of Mercy. It's a trick weapon, so when it's transformed you'll be duel-wielding daggers and taking out bosses like yesterday's garbage. 16. Choir Armor Set
This is the outfit you'll want to switch to when you're up against a magic blasting foe if you're maining the Cainhurst set. You'll be as clean as a church boy with the highest magic defense stats Bloodborne has to offer. (Image via QP Games) 17. The Stake Driver
The Stake Driver catches a lot of heat for its poor range, but it scales decently with strength and skill. If you get over your fear of fighting in close quarters and practice with charging a bit, you'll unlock its true potential. 18. The Wooden Shield
Just kidding. The shield was almost certainly included in the game as a joke, since Bloodborne's design pushes you to be fast and agressive. Although, as weak as the wooden shield is, you could use it to show off in a weaponless challenge run.
