Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of ZUXXEZ Entertainment's Two Worlds II. The fantasy role playing game sends players to the unexplored land of Eastern Antaloor and features detailed graphics, a unique magic system, and a flexible combat system.

Here's an excerpt:

While you're traipsing around the vast landscapes on your quests you'll be acquiring armor, weapons, enhancing gems and charms, magical tools, various herbal and animal components, and money. You do so by looting bodies, robbing houses and treasure chests (you'll definitely want to invest some points in lockpicking), picking pockets, gambling, and even occasionally by good old honest trading. But this is not a loot-addict game along the lines of Diablo 2 or Borderlands. While some of the quest rewards are unique items, for the most part you are accumulating a lot of raw materials that you will craft into better weapons, armor, potions and spells for yourself. Pumping points into crafting skills allows you to take stock items and improve them to a degree very unusual in this type of game. As someone who is perpetually frustrated by my inability to find unique and rare items in other RPGs, I found it very liberating to know that if I just hung in there I could upgrade my weapons into massive damage-dealers, up to 20 levels higher than their base specs, once I had enough raw materials.

CCP Games has revealed a new starship soon to be added to EVE Online in the winter update for the sci-fi MMO. Based on a player design from the Create a Starship contest, the Oracle is a nimble ship designed to deal large amounts of damage at medium to long range.

The design of the Oracle‘s combat systems stays true to Amarr military doctrine, allowing it to deal frightening amounts of damage at medium to long ranges. It‘s role will be that of a smaller, more nimble platform, for the feared heavy lasers of the Amarr empire and early intelligence reports indicate that the Oracle´s damage output could even crack a smile on the face of the empress herself.
