			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This game is developed by Sony Entertainment.  The game involves killing of creatures in order to gain experience.  This is much similar to Everquest, the very first version of the series.  Interesting feature about the game however is the tradeskills that the characters can use.  This feature adds a lot of reality to the game.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/everquest.jpg" title="Everquest II"><img src="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/everquest.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Everquest II" /></a></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The setting of the game is based upon historical background.  The characters, the beasts etc, belong to mythical nature.  The choices of names of the characters, developed in the game, arouse a lot of interest in the players. The game involves serious play and requires a lot of research from the part of the player, before playing the game.</p>
<p>Some of the features that EverQuest II contains are speed enhancement and encounter control.  This gives the player, more freedom to move around.  The ability to run backwards and fire missiles at the enemy are some of the most adventurous features of the game.</p>
<p>It is interesting to note that the races in the game are semi human like.  There are races of humans who have originated from rats, ratlike.  Some originate from frogs and are called froglike.  The characters can also have professions like artistry, tailoring, alchemy, jewelery.</p>
<p>The voices for the characters are all original and are given by Hollywood actors.  The music has been composed by Emmy award winning composers.  Thematic music, according to the scenes gives the touch of originality to the game.  On the whole this is a game for mature gamers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s an evil war game, which has developed morphologically from the city of Heroes. The players can enjoy bitter parts on the battle front and are free to choose the mask they want. Villains are created with great guile and craft and the appearance of the villains is what gives the feeling of the battle front. The players fight to rule the world. The chief moto underneath is to be successful in the bitter power of destruction. The greatest destructor is the winner.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/city-of-vilains.jpg" title="City of Villains"><img src="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/city-of-vilains.thumbnail.jpg" alt="City of Villains" /></a></p>
<p>The rival can be taken up for fun, and kidnapping and infiltration all can be enjoyed with nothing serious held in mind. Any kind of background can be selected which can be hot sunny day and the players perspiring or else the evening with the moon pascifying the land. Villains and the heroes both can be created on the theme so as to have pleasure to the fullest.</p>
<p>The story revolves around the sharkhead and the cage’s mine. There are mazes of holes and ditches to cross and the tunnel is dark and bitterly lit creating the feel of the Halloween night. There exists a lady like la bele dame sans merci ruling the land with her divine powers and entangling other warriors in the plats of her hair. So a mix of everything available for you, the history, the passion, the satire, the war front and the feeling of the fear and the beauty of the island all at one place. It’s a game for you to enjoy with the feel of the movie and a theme to work out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wars are all about excitement and adrenaline rush. So are the series of Warhammer games developed by Mindscape for Playstations and PC.</p>
<p>Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, developed in 1995, and the second in line, Warhammer: Dark Omen, in the market since 1998, had already created ripples about PC games of Real- Time Strategy. You, Morgan Bernhardt, the Mercenary Commander, fighting a battle series in the Single Player campaign have to defend the Empire from Skaven (rat men),Orcs, the Undead and Chaos, who are considered enemies. You can also, at certain points in the campaign, add units you require, including allied Elves and Dwarf units. Warhammer: Mark of Chaos was a real-time tactical game developed by Namco. The final version as yet, Warhammer: The Age of Reckoning, published on the 18th of May 2005, was created by Mythic Entertainments.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/warhammer.jpg" title="Warhammer"><img src="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/warhammer.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Warhammer" /></a></p>
<p>In the present version, the following are the playable races: Empire, High Elves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, and Chaos, and Orcs &amp; Goblins. A couple of major alliances will be formed by these races. As Matt Daniels says, &#8220;The Tome of Knowledge doubles as a sort of novel about the Age of Reckoning, where you are the main character.&#8221; As you pass through the various stages, you will challenge yourself to unravel the mystery in each chapter. The final chapter of the trailer contains a hammer wielding Warrior priest of Sigmar, pitted against the armoured Chaos Warrior in a climatic fight to death. It is for you to find out what it has in store for you!</p>
<p>Warhammer is definitely here to hammer out the adrenaline off you! So go ahead and enjoy!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This game was developed by Mythic Entertainment in 2001.  The concept is based on wars during the period of King Arthur.</p>
<p>The player from the following choices can choose gaming:</p>
<ul>
<li>Player vs Environment:  In this mode of gaming, the player is usually single and is slower.  The target usually involves acquiring of weapons, by facing challenges put forth by beasts found in the environment.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Player vs Player:  This usually involves warfare and trade.  The player is awarded with points based on the number of players he kills.  The points are called Realm points, which further develop into Realm Ranks. Player vs player can be had either as single opponent players or as teams consisting of a maximum of eight players.  The game requires tactical thinking and reasoning abilities.</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dark-age-of-camelot.jpg" title="Dark Age of Camelot"><img src="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dark-age-of-camelot.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Dark Age of Camelot" /></a></p>
<p>The player gets to choose his characters, his animals and battles and other requirements for the play.  He plays to attain targets and completes tasks.  With this the player also earns money and experience.  Using this, he is able to access new areas within the game and also attain new levels.</p>
<p>The choice of Realms is the most interesting part of the game.  There are three choices provided to the players namely, fact, legend and folklore.  Most of the places that the player comes along in the game are real English location.  Much of the races is of mythical interest and thus relates to the time to which the game refers.</p>
<p>Though not a popular game, Dark Age of Camelot is a very interesting game that involves thought process and aptitude.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Square Enix developed the game and the motion picture Final Fantasy.  This is an action-based game, which was critically acclaimed for its graphics.  The game basically revolves around battles against monsters and requires the flair for carrying out battlefield commands.</p>

<p>The unique features of the game include the use of magic spells, which add a tinge of fantasy to it.  Some of the commands that the player can use are, “Attack”, “Defend”, “Cast magic” and “Run”.  The player can choose the battlefield and the battle commands and can progress through the game by the points he gains.</p>
<p>Many series of the game have been developed.  From Final Fantasy I to Final Fantasy XII, all of them have been successful and each has its own game development. It is interesting to note that the game battles themselves are cinematic in nature.  Advanced technology graphics make this game an interesting one for all age groups to play.</p>

<p>There are many techniques that the player is provided with, for example he can duck, crawl hide, jump and tackle his enemies in several ways. The most interesting feature of the game, however, is that it doesn’t get monotonous because of the single character; it involves many other ancillary characters, which may support the player in more ways than one.</p>
<p>Metal Gear Solid was appreciated for its graphics.  It has sold many million copies since its release.  It was well received by the media and gained many points from the game critics.  The awards and the ranking that it has received make it very popular game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most appropriate way of describing Second Life is a virtual world for social networking.  Though it is sometimes referred to as a game, it does not involve any target, scores, points, winners and losers and strategies.</p>
<p>Second life involves a virtual world, in which the users have to register themselves and create an ‘Avatar’, which would represent them.  These, Avatars usually depict human figures with the desired physical attributes.</p>
<p align="center"> <a href="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/second-life.jpg" title="Second Life"><img src="http://www.phantomsquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/second-life.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Second Life" /></a></p>
<p>The game involves, many activities that the user can take up for personal enjoyment.  He or she can have chatting with other avatars and the communication is usually text based.  Some of the interesting features are that the avatars can also ‘shout’ or ‘whisper’.</p>
<p>Other interesting activities that the avatar can indulge in are transporting, either by foot or they can fly to certain heights.  Traveling can also be done by means of driving.  The avatar has the liberty to choose the means of transport.</p>
<p>The currency that is used in Second Life is Linden Dollars.  The residents can create their own commodities, buy or sell them and set up trade practices.  The other activities in Second Life include communities for sharing art.  Residents can create their own virtual art forms and share it with other residents.</p>
<p>Education has taken a new dimension with Second Life.  Residents throughout the world are using Second Life as a platform for conducting lectures and seminars and there are loads of information that people can access through Second Life.  Many educational institutions are conducting many researches upon the usability of Second Life for creating new environments for education.</p>
<p>Second Life can otherwise be defined as a gateway to an individual’s dream world.  All needs and desires can be fulfilled through this virtual world and gives a lot of scope for learning and socializing.</p>
