I have been left out in the gaming world for almost 5 years or so. I never had a good gaming rig or even a mediocre one! I was stuck with a low end machine that didn't even had a VGA socket! So I was stuck with Civilization III and the original Sims... but The Sims still lagged due to my 256RAM.

Now, after 5 years of waiting, I got a new gaming rig. It may not have an Intel Core Duo or the latest DirectX 10 capable graphics card. But it still kicks ass and can play Half-Life 2 in the highest settings. Moving on...

I was quite amazed when I first saw Granado Espada, it won an award for best graphics(I think) and the gameplay is quite innovative. The game kinda has the Oblivion-esque graphics and it lets you play 3 characters at once using the MMC thingy. Who needs friends when you can have 3 players at once? hah! I'm kinda the loner type when it comes to games(also in real life.. I think) so the multiple characters is something every loner needs. But the problem with that is the socializing part of the game. I think it's trying to give loners ummmm.. a chance to feel good about themselves, by having a killer team. Instead of promoting friendship the game promotes ummmm.. I can't find the word for that.. ummm.. 'lonership'? haha. Even though it has it's lapses it's still a great game that every online gamer who can't play World of Warcraft nor Guild Wars should play. The graphics kicks ass, the music suits the environment(sometimes), and since it's still in open beta and international... you can meet your (insert nationality here) countrymen there and form a little (insert your nationality) community!
