More
Previews-Kooky
2 More previews have come our way, check out the one at
Sharky Extreme, which
is actually a roud-up of the whole show, but, when focusing on Sierra, gives EE a good
look.
The second is from Incite, which you can find
here here.
If you find any reviews don't forget to send them our way!

I've had a great response to the job openings, so I'll
be screening and interviewing and then you'll see new people popping up here shortly. If
you're still interested in joining the team here use this form.

Bloodhound Gang's song The Bad Touch is just the
funniest, go out and get it now! And while you're there get some good music like Slipknot
and KoRn!

Previews-Kooky
Since E3 there have literally been thousands, and I
mean thousands of gaming previews posted, through the process of some long mathematical
term there therefore has to be a whole load of EE previews out. I've found these:
If you find anymore e-mail them in!
Screenshots-Kooky
Two new sets of screenshots in the shots section. Eight
in total, three's your basic run of the mill shots in Shots
Part 1. However the shots in Shots Part 2 are a
little more interesting, showing us a different menu and a normal mouse pointer. Go check
em out, if ya want. Meaning that this may be a newer build of the game, although it's hard
to say as we don't know the origin of these shots.
Links-Kooky
Added The EE
Facility to the links page, excellent layout, go check it out now!

Finished-Kooky
I must have been on a sugar high r something, but I'm
down now. Got loads of screenshots up, updated the resources section, done some more work
on the units section, didn't upload it though. Anyway, more tomorrow.
Updating-Kooky
Between info releases and E3 I think this site is
behind in the info. department. Which is why I'm devoting my Sunday night to updating
(like I have anything better to do...). Anyway, you'll find updates all across the boards,
including maybe even an article if I get around to it. At the moment I'm concentrating on
the screenshots.
E3
Roundup-Kooky
A whole load of sites are giving us whoop about all the
games on E3, some talk about their experience of the Sierra booth. Check out the Gamestats blurb:
Another really interesting game I
found was Empire Earth. Talking, again, to one of the artists I was told that the game,
created by one of the designers of the original Age of Empires was about 50% done. The
game takes place over the span of time from basically the Stone Age to circa Mechwarrior.
Amoung the interesting things I was shown were calamities caused by priest units.
Calamities ranged from volcanoes and earthquakes, ala Populous to leprosy and the plague.
To quote, "we've got the worst of the Bible in here." The game has a night and
day cycle, with night playing a part in Line of Sight. Some units will get bonuses to
night attack if the appropriate fields are researched. Seaons will also play a part, as
apparently bodies of water may freeze over, creating a land bridge and "changing the
map for the next 10 minutes or so of gameplay." Heroes will also play a factor in the
game, having an area of effect bonus on units, though what the exact bonus might be was
not firmly decided. I was shown a list of litterally hundreds of units spanning the time
periods, called Epics, of the game.
Interesting, some cool features we didn't know
about.
The game is around 50% complete.
Heroes will give a bonus to surrounding
units.
Water may freeze over to make seas
crossable.
Excellent. |
