RED ALERT 3 TRIBUTE

Due to the excitement of waiting for Red Alert 3 release, I couldn't find a cool and nice wallpaper that represent Red Alert 3.
Instead, I came across 2 sexy wallpapers of Natasha and Eva (Both are in-game CG characters).
At the end, I combine those 2 wallpaper into one sexy wallpaper of both of the ladies X3

This is a tribute to Command & Conquer Red Alert 3

Some of you may start to wonder if Red Alert 3 is going to be playable with 945GM or not.
Well, for those who have played C&C3 Tiberium Wars, we only get to set the graphic till medium in playable FPS state.
As you know that Red Alert 3 engine is an upgrade version of C&C3 Tiberium Wars, the chances of running that game is little.
I've seen Red Alert 3 gameplays and the only worry's me is the water texture mechanism.
Even if the game is playable, wonder if the low setting will affect the gameplay during at sea(besides the visual)

How do you think?
Discuss and leave feedback at the below of the post

REJOICE MY COMRADES

WELCOME TO MY NEW BLOG
This is blog is still in a migrating process from elbert945gm.blogspot.com

For the opening of this blog i reviewed a new game in detail which is SPORE
It's in the Game Review Section.

I hope to get feedback about this new blog.
More will come so stay tuned

SPORE

Spore is an unique and interesting game.
It plays as an evolution of life. There are 5 phases of evolution, from a tiny micro organism cell to a galactic space age.
Spore has a wide range and variety of customization throughout the game. The only limits is your imagination.

The game mainly let's you start of as a tiny cell in the cell phases, which let you choose either herbivorous or carnivorous. Which depends on your playing style. Later as you progress, you'll find new parts for your creature.To customize your creature, you call for a mate to give birth a new specie of your creature once you done customizing.
As you progress, you'll be ready to evolution in the second phase which is the creature phase.

This is when your creature walks on land. In this phase, you mainly explore and find parts around the land. You'll meet other creatures as you explore around. How you want to interact with them is up to you. Either use social way to be friend with them or fight and dominate them.
As your creature progress, it's "brain" become bigger until you enter into the third age, which is the tribal age.
In this phase, the gameplay mechanism becomes real-time strategy style. Instead of controlling one of your creature, you now control all of your kind. In this phase, you'll command your creatures to gather food, gather wild creatures to be your pets and explore the rest of the land. As there are other tribes in the area, your goal is to dominate all tribe by either conquering them with force or be friend with them by playing instruments.
After dominating all tribe, you'll find your creatures declaring you to make a town hall for them as they advance into the forth phase which is the civilization phase.

The civilization phase plays the same way as tribal phase except this time, it plays in a larger scope. You won't be able to control your creature starting from this phase as you start to control vehicle type of land, sea and air. In this phase, you start with your nation, dominating other nation through either military power, economic power or religion power. As you dominate all of the nation, your creature starts to construct your first spaceship.
Thus entering the final phase, the space phase. This is where it's get more interesting than the previous phases. You now control your spaceship only. As you zoom out from your planet to the solar system, you'll find other planet orbiting around it. If that's not enough, zooming all the way out and you'll find yourself looking at the galactic universe. There's a lot to do in this phase. Ranging from accomplishing missions to colonize other planets. It's just playing endlessly.

OVERALL :
Thanks to Maxis, which they aim to let majority scope of hardware specs to play Spore.
With 1024x768 and all settings to low(except graphic effects and player model quality to medium), I'm getting around 15~32 FPS, it will depends as the FPS will drop dramatically when there's too much stuff happening on the screen.
There is an issue when the creature texture did not load properly. The only solution is don't keep changing resolution while playing the game.
