	Sacrifice (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sacrifice is a 3D real-time strategy game with strong RPG elements, developed by Shiny Entertainment, the creators of the Earthworm Jim franchise.
		In contrast, most real-time strategy games allow the player to see the battlefield and play the game from a top-down point of view, and force the player to create buildings which can later be used to manufacture units.
		The resources (a common element in RTS games) in Sacrifice are souls and mana.

	Game Studies 0102: Playing With Players. By Torill Mortensen
		Simultaneously the games have technical game functions that are integrated in the fictional frame and introduce an element of competition into the game.
		This becomes particularly clear in role-playing games, where the power of the player far exceeds that of an agent in the narrative environment and approaches that of a soloist in a large band: improvising against the background of the game.
		The intensity and the feeling of ownership towards a role in the game and to the events in the game indicate a seriousness and an experience of reality or realism in the game that is reflected in in the player's language and in the way computer-games catch, hold and become addictive.

	Four Fat Chicks -- Sacrifice Review
		Replayability is evident in Sacrifice from the get-go.
		Sacrifice stands out as one of the most beautiful games on the market—I was recently introducing a friend to it, and she announced that were it not for Morrowind, it would, in her opinion, be the best-looking game she'd ever seen.
		Sacrifice is such a hectic game that it will probably not appeal to epileptics, nervous individuals, or people who have a hard time keeping track of a number of events at one time.

		Strategy games focus on careful planning and skillful resource management in order to achieve victory.
		Classified as "thinking games," these products are targeted at teens and a more mature audience.
		Most of these games are turn-based as opposed to real-time (often abbreviated RTS), but there are some that are realtime or mix the two types of play (such as X-Com).

		Sacrifice is a 3-D, real-time, fantasy-strategy game with heavy action and role-playing elements.
		All in all, though, this game is quite good, and 4/5 is a pretty good estimate of it.

	Preview-Sacrifice
		In many ways, the game it plays most like is Myth—in both, you take command of a small army of troops and fight tactical real-time battles.
		This adds a very interesting slant to the game, as strategy focuses on not just killing enemies, but being able to summon your “sac doctors” to fetch their souls back to your altar.
		In the campaign game, you take the role of a wizard who has fled his own world and now finds himself in a land dominated by five powerful and squabbling gods.

	[No title]
		Game theory is a branch of mathematics (some would say economics) that deals with human interactions where the outcomes depend on the interactive strategies of two or more people with opposing motives.
		Game theory has nothing to do with actual computer game creation; it is only about strategies for making the best decision, in games where it's possible to reason about what a best decision is (as opposed to arcade games or crossword puzzles).
		When a typical game opponent is created, its designer has a rough idea of how complex the problem is. Perhaps he can't determine it to the satisfaction of a theoretical computer scientist, but he knows whether a brute-force approach is feasible or not, and he can choose an appropriate strategy accordingly.

		Computer tools -- more specifically, educational computer games -- were considered as just a component of the target system.
		We joked about the game, and he was constantly filling in any missing background noises, cheering his successes, laughing at or berating the enemy.
		Collaborative game playing at this stage is characterized by efficient coordination of individual efforts, and is often associated with strong emotions, both positive and negative, shared by members of a team.

		Sacrifice is set in a fanciful world overseen by 5 deities.
		Sacrifice is a fully polygonal, fully 3D RTS, much in the vein of Ground Control or Dark Reign 2.

	Sacrifice
		In the campaign game, you take the role of Eldred, a wizard who has fled the destruction of his own world and now finds himself in a world dominated by five powerful and squabbling gods.
		Frankly, enemy AI is pretty bad in the game, and it seems most enemy wizards tend to use "minion rush" tactics.
		This is a shame, because the creatures in Sacrifice have wildly different abilities and the spells are very original, and there are plenty of opportunities for tactical ingenuity.

	Gamasutra - Features - "Making a Case for Short Games"
		Unlike many artists in the game industry who might emulate Giger or adopt the stylistic influences of anime, Phosphorous was influenced by counterculture comic book artists of the late '60s and '70s, like Robert Williams, and album cover artists like Roger Dean.
		Except for the length of these games, we like features like this because they provide for variety and replayability, and the lack of a save feature means that more is at stake.
		In 1981, this seemed to me to be a perfect concept for a computer game, even at a time when graphics were primitive.

	Terrace Review in Computer Game Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This game is intriguing and challenging, but the rules make it far too easy to achieve a draw.
		The levels of computer AI are decently developed, but that still doesn't help the fact that Terrace boils down to a giant game of tic-tac-toe.
		When I played the computer opponent, my initial impression was that it was not a good enough AI to think too far ahead.

	GameSurge - Computer Game Review - Steel Beasts
		The game reproduces the US M1A1 and the German Leopard 2A4 tanks in intrinsic detail to create a highly accurate simulation with a war element.
		While the graphics in the game leave something to be desired, there is immense detail in the reproduction of the aspects of tank warfare including terrain and environmental effects as well as features including different ammo types and specific damage impacts on parts of the tank, e.g.
		The learning curve for the game is fairly steep, and will take significant amounts of time to master but is well worth it for those willing to sacrifice superficial gameplay for a more sophisticated experience.

		Though some elements of the game will be preprogrammed, most of the worlds will be created by the users.
		More skilled computer users will be able to utilize Photoshop, Fireworks, Microsoft Paint and Discreet gmax to make designs for new clothes, hair, furniture or to invent new items to introduce to the game.
		In a few months, the game will include an open API for C++ developers with which people will be able to use Flash to customize the game’s interface and introduce new scripted events using “Therescript,” a computing language similar to Javascript, and more.

		The challenges are difficult, but not too difficult that you couldn't solve them by yourself if you had thirty or forty years to spend on this game and this game alone.
		The game checks the current directory when it loads up before it checks the system32 directory for the file, hence it loads the SP1 version for the game, and all your other programs use the safer SP2 version.
		I'm gonna sacrifice my computer's security by downgrading (but is anything that involves getting rid of microsoft really a downgrade?) from sp2 to sp1.

	Myst IV closest thing to VR in computer game
		The latest incarnation in the multi-million-unit-selling Myst franchise is not only the most life-like adventure in the series to date, but it's arguably the closest thing we've seen to virtual reality in a computer game.
		This is certainly a departure from the 11-year-old Myst, a game that, while popular, was condemned by some critics as an interactive coffee table book.
		For the uninitiated, the Myst games are best described as a point-and-click adventure played from a first-person perspective, where players must use the mouse to navigate around a surreal island and through various "ages," all the while solving tough brainteasers in order to accomplish the game's goals.

	Concept Art needed for Original RPG Computer Game - ConceptArt.org Forums
		In the game there are four races and we need all the above sections to be applied to all four races.
		A typical sacrifice would go something like this: first there would be a moon dance, then wolf would be blessed by the High Priest of the local temple, the priest would then sacrifice the wolf with a ceremonial knife.
		Well once the game is finished, we will probably try and find a small publishing firm somewhere and see if we can get it sold in shops.

		It combines the action aspects of a 3rd person shooter/adverturing game such as Diablo I/II, and excellently combines it with the strategy of games such as Starcraft or Age of Empires.
		What I especially liked about this game is the fact that it's not very linear, you have a certain freedom of chosing your missions.
		In the game, you are Eldred, a wizard lord that has wondered about the planes looking for a world to inhabit (since he unintentionally destroyed his last one).
