![]() ![]() The Abbasid plonk their main building down somewhere safe and leave it at that. Other factions, see, have to choose and place their advancement buildings, thinking about locations and bonus ranges and space and labour management and defences. More importantly, though, the Abbasid advance through the eras by simply researching new items from one building. In theory, I love the Mongols, but the truth is I'm far too slow for them, and get on much better with the Abbasid, who get anti-cavalry camels. Each civilisation has enough going on to stand out without straightjacketing the player, and it's clear just from a week's play that people will be unearthing the kind of elaborate tricks and strategies that will make learning a faction's ways a necessity to keep them from being stomped by a nasty surprise in the later eras. But they do have to wait a long time for it, making them a natural tech-based side. ![]() The Delhi Sultanate, meanwhile, never pay for research. "In theory, I love the Mongols, but the truth is I'm far too slow for them, and get on much better with the Abbasid, who get anti-cavalry camels." You can't trade for it either, but you get free stone whenever you destroy enemy buildings, so you'd better make the most of that mobility. That mine itself is their weakness you can have only one at a time, and its production can't be sped up with villagers like most other gathering. Mongol players can move almost all their buildings freely and quickly, and buildings camped around a stone mine can train two units at once. Raid, raid, skirmish, harass and raid is the order of the Khans. The documentaries help you picture how these civilisations would have approached real-world obstacles.įortunately, the missions themselves are strong enough to carry you through (although I gave up on England - and in the game), with the Mongol one in particular doing a decent job of highlighting their strengths and the mindset necessary to make them work. A conqueror arises, fights a few neighbours, and succeeds for a bit. It probably doesn't help either that because the campaigns cover such a timescale, the documentaries get condensed - and in the case of the Norman conquest one, presents a duly overfamiliar story to anyone who grew up in England. It wouldn't be fair to slam the game for any of this, though, and I will say in its favour that it's both a novel approach and done with very impressive production values. By no means bombastic, obnoxious, or patronising, it's still just a little too dramatised for my liking, while also not going full costume drama with it. It's a style of documentary that I personally never quite got on with. Even the narration is a pitch perfect earnest history voice. Rather than running through Joan of Arc's life with actors or fictionalising the Norman conquest, each campaign is presented exactly like a certain type of TV documentary, complete with footage of modern cities and landscapes superimposed with animated figures waging wars from long ago. Overall, narrative isn't exactly a central concern though. The usual RTS thing of removing more advanced units from earlier missions applies, and here lines up neatly with the eras and timescale - the Mongols don't have their mega-trebuchet until a few generations have passed in the story and it's actually been invented, for example. Each follows one civilisation over a decades long campaign of war and conquest. The natural place to start is the campaigns. Age Of Empires 4 has all of that, across four 9-mission single player campaigns, 17 skirmish maps (which can be slightly modified with seed numbers, and we're told more map options are coming), and 8 playable, well-differentiated and slightly unequal civilisations. They're base building, four-resource-gathering contests between factions based on historical world powers, and progress throughout a match happens in explicitly tiered eras that loosely represent historical ages. Let's not argue about which of its elements is the defining one. Even if you haven't played them, the Age Of Empires games were a pillar of RTS design, and probably the most popular candidate for a comeback since publishers largely abandoned the genre in the 2000s. It's tempting to bang on about the history of Age Of Empires, but let's be real here, you already know it well enough. ![]() ![]() ![]() The other singers include Nouman Javed who has also directed the video and Ahsan Pervaiz who has produced the audio. Ali Pervaiz Mehdi does mispronounce the word “ Shafa'at” as “Shifa'at”. The rest of the singers in the ensemble aren’t very different either with minor exceptions of Ali Pervaiz Mehdi and Kumail Jaffery who render the phrases with relentless ease and command over the Naat genre if not the language. Mustafa Jaan-e-Rehmat Pe Lakhon Salaam is also typical in the sense that the rendition is divorced from the rules of Urdu/Arabic diction with words such as Aaqa and Qaahir being casually stressed in the song as Aaka and Kaahir with a K sound instead of a Q, the way it is supposed to be rendered in both Urdu and Arabic. As they say, if destiny wants it then the sea expands to quench the thirst of the far-away traveller.Ītif’s recent offering is an ensemble rendition that ticks all the boxes of his signature Naat/Hamd presentation minus a beverage bottle hovering somewhere in the background. But the way Atif Aslam’s recent non-devotional releases, namely Kaddi Tay Hass and Raat failed to pick up on the internet as wildly as the rest of Atif, explains how devotional music has certainly taken the singer seriously even if one doesn’t get to see that seriousness replicated in his devotional expression. Indeed, the journey is strictly inner, personal, and not up for public scrutiny. ![]() The fumbling didn’t look bad, just like nothing coming out his throat feels bad, it rather felt odd, as if he is onto something, both musically and spiritually, that something however wasn’t clear yet. Maybe, it has already entered his heart and is trying to find a place in his voice a voice that fumbled surprisingly when he recited Wohi Khuda Hai. The crisp white kurta shalwar and the soft top lighting almost give the impression that divine light is embracing Pakistan’s most sought-after voice. Every time Atif Aslam raises his hand in prayer a blessing falls from the sky, and with it, a kalaam that everyone listens to. ![]() ![]() ![]() With sword sheathed, the prince is still fun to be around it's just a shame he still hasn't lost those bad habits. A materialising army of skeletal foes is more likely to make eyes roll than widen, while the graceless, attritional boss encounters serve only to exacerbate the battle system's shortcomings. Unfortunately, combat is once again the prince's achilles heel. As ever, mistakes can be reversed with the ability briefly to rewind time. ![]() The athletic traversal of these huge, intricately constructed rooms is fluid and fun, with elemental powers allowing our hero to halt the flow of water, creating solid surfaces to run, swing and jump on. It's certainly easy on the eyes, if less visually striking than the cel-shaded style of the attempted series reboot in 2008, with opulent palace locations reduced to crumbling masonry as a powerful, otherworldly force (unwittingly unleashed by the prince's brother) tears the place apart. HALO: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, From Dust, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, Red Steel (IGN Award for Best Original. However, it does raise the question of whether echoing a seven-year-old game is such a wise idea. The Forgotten Sands ultimately feels more like a throwback than a true evolution, so next time around the Prince better impress or things will get stale quick.įor a live demo of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, be sure to check out this week's episode of preGAME.B ridging the gap between 2003's classic The Sands of Time, on which the forthcoming Disney film is based, and its darker, less enjoyable sequel, Warrior Within, The Forgotten Sands certainly feels like a spiritual successor to the game which reinvented the eponymous royal for a modern console audience. Of course, we're not sure how much longer this rehashing of a classic game can continue. There are enough new abilities and powers here to freshen things up a bit, just don't expect much in terms of a compelling story. We really enjoyed the deliberate allusion to The Sands of Time game and think any fan of the original would enjoy the Prince's latest adventure. The Forgotten Sands shouldn't take an average player more than 7 hours to complete, which falls a bit on the shallow side compared with other games in the series. The Prince can also use special moves (that will deplete a magic meter) that can be purchased and upgraded through gaining experience points. The combat system is different from games past, as it completely abandons any sort of blocking mechanic and instead opts for rewarding consecutive hits. In terms of gameplay, we found The Forgotten Sands to resemble a lot of what we loved about The Sands of Time: satisfying controls complemented by excellent puzzle designs that gradually increase in complexity, keeping the game moving along at a smooth pace. He can use these core powers for special abilities like freezing flowing water in order to climb it. We looked at the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version of the game Wii, DS, and PSP have an alternate version.Īside from just being able to manipulate time, the Prince is now able to use the power of the elements to make his way through the environments of The Forgotten Sands. In fact, The Forgotten Sands takes place during the seven-year gap between it and Warrior Within, so it's clear that the intention of the game was to revisit some of the franchise's earlier roots. Though it has absolutely no connection to the movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal, the game reminds us most of what the film was adapted from, The Sands of Time. This week Ubisoft released the latest game in the series, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Since 2003, we've seen the franchise go in several different directions, most recently last year's self-titled Prince of Persia game where we were treated to a different art style and female companion. The title was able to successfully combine gorgeous environments, intuitive gameplay, and innovative time-control elements that made for a truly memorable experience. There's little disagreement regarding 2003's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time as the series' best overall game of the modern era. ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() ![]() The only thing it can't do is sing along, which is a pity, because neither can I.Īnd The Miracle can teach anyone to play the piano, because it taught me. The Miracle can play "My Country 'Tis of Thee" on the kalimba, steel guitar and Moog, with a percussion track of rap-style scratching, and that would be enough to ensure popularity at any party. The sound is slightly on the tinny side, but for a performance you can run the output through your own amplifier and speakers. Its 49 keys span only four octaves (a standard piano has 88 keys and just over seven octaves), but the keys are full size and "velocity sensitive," which means the harder you hit them the louder the sound they make-the difference between a real piano and, say, a doorbell. It can record your own interpretation of "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" on as many as eight tracks and play it back in one big orchestral gush. All by itself, it can play a New Age version of "Heart and Soul" on the tube bells, or any of 128 different synthetic instruments, including the fuzz guitar, harp, banjo, vibraphone or marimba. The Miracle, which lists for $479.95 in the PC version, does amazing things. In 40 lessons, which could be completed in as little as 40 weeks, or as long as the rest of one's life, it leads from the simple three-note progression of "Ode to Joy" to the sinuous, rippling rhythms of Handel's "Water Music." I was especially impressed to learn that the software for The Miracle was written by a 27-year-old programmer named Jon Mandel who not only didn't play the piano but, until he began work on the project, had never understood the principle of hitting more than one key at the same time. This is an electronic keyboard that attaches to an IBM-compatible home computer there is also a cheaper and less sophisticated version that works with a Nintendo machine. So I was glad to see that the people at Software Toolworks had come up with a machine that bridges the gap between music and typing: The Miracle Piano Teaching System. In piano playing, as in writing, it's all a matter of pressing the right keys. The keys bear a one-to-one correspondence to the notes, so that the infinitude of mistakes it is possible to produce on, say, a violin, is reduced to a discrete, manageable handful. Of all the ways of translating the motions of a human hand into music, a keyboard is the most straightforward and mathematically precise. This may have something to do with my training as a journalist, a profession that has banished tonal nuance in favor of a rigid insistence on accuracy. I've always believed I was born to play the piano, and so has everyone else who has heard me sing. ![]() |
