MAC, PC- Diablo III
- Review
- The first Diablo game in over a decade is also one of the most insidiously satisfying loot treadmills in almost as long.
PS3N, PS3, X360, PC- Prototype 2
- Review
- Prototype 2 gives you some interesting abilities that can be fun to use, but it doesn't give you enough good opportunities to cut loose with all that power.
PS3, X360, PC- Max Payne 3
- Review
- Rockstar Games modernizes and makes Max Payne its own, creating something grittier and more grounded in reality, if not quite as singular.

A heavily armored soldier in the service of a lord or cause. Typically a champion of good and a defender of the innocent.
Overview
The Knight emerged as a soldier in the Middle Ages. Usually deriving themselves from wealthy land owners, knights could afford the armor for their horse and body to protect themselves from almost anything that was swung their way, while frightening their enemies. Alongside this, they headed to a Chivalric Code which were a set of guidelines which revolved around helping the weak. Knight's Orders appeared later on in the Middle Ages, usually appearing around times of Crusades. The most notable of which include the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller (later the Knights of Saint John) and the Teutonic Knights. Today, Knighthood is a term used in some European nations to award people who have accomplished great feats, most famously used in England. Even though Knights Orders still exist today, they have no where near as much prominence as they did during the Medieval Ages.
Knights have also been applied to non-fiction, most famously, in the legend of King Arthur. Usually, in these stories knights go on a quest for an object to help the land. Examples are the quest of the holy grail, or killing the town terrorizing dragon.

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions
The Knight is the main character class for fighting close-range. To compensate fighting in the front lines they have good HP and can wear the heaviest of armors. The Knight's weapon of choice is the sword, but later on in the game they gain access to the most powerful weapons in the game, the Knight swords. To unlock the Knight class you simply have to level your starting job squire to level 2.The Knight's unique abilities are the "Arts of War" which involve weakening the enemy, complementing their need to get forward and protect the other team members. Their usefulness is taken into question by many due to their low accuracy and the need to defeat the enemies rather than leaving them on the battlefield to cause problems, nevertheless, it is great for setting up an attack from another team member if the Knight's attack won't be powerful enough to finish them off.
