Eclipse Mod Reviewed

[Chris D]

Recently, staff writer extraordinaire, Sulkdodds, finished his review of the Eclipse mod. For those of you anware, Eclipse is a third party modification and was a creation of students at The Guildhall, a special university that teaches game development. Here's a snip from the review:

The camera swoops in over a confusion of green growth, buzzing insects; a yellow haze hanging in the air. This is Auldhaven: the idyllic rural-fantasy tangle of vegetation where your adventures begin. The horizon is smudged by lighting effects - the full power of the Source engine in action. Even on this reviewer's less-than-stellar PC, the initial amble through a lush valley - past trickling streams and waterfalls where insects and birds flit and flutter between the trees, leading on to castle ruins crumbling under a liquid sunset - was utterly stunning. The first level is like looking at a very pretty picture through a haze of golden honey.

In case you can't guess, Sulkdodds quite liked Eclipse, so if you want to find out more about why he did then visit the full review here.

Good review Sulkdodds.

One thing to watch in the future: Go easy on the hyberbole, it sometimes clutters the piece unneccesarily.

Eclipse certainly is just as amazing as you say it is though.

Nice review, but I wish they would patch & update Eclipse.

I'm downloading it right now, and I can't wait to play it. As usualy Sulk, your review was brimming with origonality and humour. Plus, there was only one word that I needed to look up in the dictionary! That's a new record. Talking about records, I recently started reading David Mitchel's "Cloud atlas", and there's a word I don't understand every other sentance. Literally. mind you, it's written in old English. Luckily only one sixth of the book is written like that. I hope.
