So, here are some news i heard latelly. No dead space 2 for pc as far as ea is concerned :( Just cause 2 will require vista or win7. No xp:cry:...but why? Its not necessary its a console port, and it has insane requirements. I wanna obliderate to cosmic dust whoever is responsible for this. Crysis 2 will take place on new york city. Good i guess, also mafia 2 developers claim that their game is gonna be the best looking open world game with the most destruction. I wanna see that happening. Anyway i am excited for mafia 2 and bad company 2, also avp3. I dont care what the critics say as long the game is good.

Here are some games i have been playing lately:

Manhunt

Manhunt is a 3rd person adventure/stealth/shooter. Focusing on violence, if you are a fan of films like SAW and other violent stuff, you might like this. I picked this game because i wanted to play something diffirent. At the beginning i thought that the game is just an excuse of a game with violence rather a solid game. I was wrong. There is definetly alot of gameplay in manhunt. The compaign itself is more impressive than most games nowadays. You take the role of someone who is convicted to death penalty. Turns out he is alive in a abandonded part of the city. (well its not clear wherever you are in a city or in an island) So here you are roaming at the dark and desolated urban enviroments of the game while there are cameras and a director is filiming you killing violently various gangs and thugs.

Not much of a story and it is unclear wherever the director is also the prison warden. Anyway, you start with nothing and you are moving in the dark alleys and this ruined enviroments. Your first contact with gang members will be sneaky and easy. The first gang members are weak and stupid. Then they get tougher, stronger, smarter and much more difficult. In the begining you got no weapons, so you will use a plastic bag to choke someone by putting it on his head and not letting him breath. Ofcourse that has to be done from behind so you wont get seen. The stealth system is simple. You can hide in the shadows. It does not matter how close the enemy is, if you are sitting under a shadow, you character is invisible. Simple mechanic but they got to make the game more playable right? If someone sees you, they chase you and your radar has a radious in which your enemy knows where you are, if you get out of the radious then you can hide. If not then you can go to a dark area but you are still glowing red. In the begining its very easy, you hit the wall and the ai investagates, you go down the stairs and exit from the single door the room has, and the ai does not even know where you went!!! Thats right, they dont even bother getting outside the room. But latter it becomes hard and complicated. You gonna have to play it slowly and seperate the enemies form one each other.You can also throw items to distract the ai!!

There is a huge sense of progress in the game, not only on the compaign missions but in weapons and enemies. In the begining you got disposable weapons that can be used only in stealth. Like plastic bags or glass shards. Later you get knifes and baseball bats and various other meele weapons. You even progress by killing tougher thugs and getting more violent weapons or ranged based weapons like the famous nail gun, that launches for construction purpuses. Sadly no headshots and it has limited range:( But you can blow up explosive barrels while in shadows. Silently confusing enemies!! There are also guns later on, like revolvers, shotguns, pistols, sawed off, trangulizer rilfes, sniper rilfes, auto shotguns, smgs, pistols, assault rilfes, heavy pistols. Well there are enough guns to in the game that it could might as well be a fps!! Also its a long game and every missions has a theme. In the begining you kill some gangs in urban areas with crap weapons. Later you are inside a junkyard with gangs that paint their faces and use more severe weapons, later you are inside a zoo and the enemies are dressed up like commandos and got more apropriate weapons, hell even later you are in a ruined mall with enemies that look like clowns and carry revolvers and sawed offs. Borderlands, fallout 3, rage anyone? :lol: Ofcourse later on the game has objectives in the missions and not just killing. Later you are at an asylum with crazy enemies, it can get kinda scary. There is more to manhunt thann that. Eg: there is a poor coversytem while in gunfights and you can hold down the attack buttong while in stealthy executions and the reticle will turn yellow and red, that means more violent executions if you like violence ofcourse. There is even a meele fight system with heavy and weak attacks plus block and grab. But you mainly uset stealth and not fight in meele like condemned.

Later in the game you get into a mansion and have to get past numerous swat units, at that point it gets pretty rough.Overall its a very solid game with extras such as unlockables and challenges and guess whats the last weapon in such a violent game? THE CHAINSAW!!! :lol: I give it 8.5 and the funny thing is i dont even liked it in beginining!! I heard there i manhunt 2 on pc, so i wil also get it.

I think it will be nice if there was a new manhunt game with next gen graphics and decapacitations plus scary lighting and theme!!

Call of juarez bound in blood

I played the first and it was....good. The second focuses totally on gunfights. You got two characters and you choose with which one you wanna play at each chapter, no coop. The first can carry a gun and a rilfe, which he is pretty accurate, also he can use a bow and throw knives, he can climb on stuff and use his rope to climb on higher..."stuff" The second can use 2 pistols at the same time and he has a bulletproof armor and he can kick doors. Both can use an abillity that they automaticly shoot every enemy with their guns. At the begining the game starts in the famous North vs South war in US. It plays mostly as an arcade shooter with many enemies and not much to do apart from killing and killing.Later the game picks up with bigger enviromens and some sort of gta-far cry 2 bigger areas with sidemissions to do a bit exploration and shops in which you can buy new guns with the money you collect from enemies. Sadly that idea was not used much. Just 2 chapters that you can do those. The game after a few chapters plays like an adventure game with horseriding and some impressive level design.

Sadly i could not find a good pic right now, but the point is that the game has big non linear areas, hell there are some towns that are open and look like they came from a gta type game, so unlike other linear games, like cod4, this game does not block your paths by using vehicles or rocks at the exit points. However you must stay on mission or you will fail the mission. What is good about the game is the story, its really good, i am amazed how nowdays you can see such a good story. Also its even better if you played the first one first and you connect the dots on what exactly lead to the events of the first since this game is a prequel. What is bad? For one the game has a stupid fov that does not alows you to see too far. So sometimes you constantly look around to see what is around you, thanks to this zoomed perspective the characters have :roll:. Also the game has mouse accelaration which makes aiming very frustating and for those 2 things i did not enjoy it much and it looses fps points from me. Also every boss battle is a dual that you get a side camera in which you have to move left and right to keep the camera in a way that the enemy is on the middle and you can use your mouse to guide your hand to the holster and draw your gun when the bell rings. Was that necessary? Well it does not work very well on pc, it feels like drawing is kinda broken. I tried used a gamepad but it seems the game detects only a x360 like controller and not a ps2 like!!

However overal it was a good game, i finished it in about 7 hours according to my savegame.Overall a nice game but it could be better in fp terms, so 8.0 will be fine.

Batman Akham Asylum

Suprisingly good game. Batman AA is based on the comic and not the movie.What makes Batman AA shines? Everything actually. The graphics are amazing. The port is amazing and it perfoms amazingly well. The game is flawless. The game starts with batman taking joker back to the asylum. Things go to hell and the joker is free. Now batman must travel in various ares of arkham asylum and defated various villians to get to joker. The story? Well a batman game cant have good story, but the way its done is very impressive. It basicly feels all necessary holes needed to create a nice compaign from story side. You got someone talking to you on the radio, you got many good and bad characters plus some memorable moments. In the begining you have to either punch enemies in the face or sneak when they got guns, you can use the grappling hook to get to a higher ground and glide down on them and dispose them, Or you can sneak behind them. Not to worry though becase the game is very simplified, sneaking and fighting is done by the press of a few buttons. Later on you get exp and upgrae your abillities so you dont need to run anymore. Combat is fun and the atmosphere in the asylum is amazing.

Apart from that the gameplay has exploring and collecting various items and tapes that tell you more about the characters, also there are some riddles to be solved that give you more info on DC based characters. You also got various gadgets such as the famous batrang and other stuff like a explosive gel that explodes when you use the detonator or a line gun that gets you across long distances in high postitions and a hacking gadget that opens doors. Most of those items are upgrades that you get later in order to get acess to items you could not get before. Also we got the detective view which is somewhat similar to x ray vission and it gives you also the info you need on how to approach the situation.

The question is, does the game get repettive? Well to be honest i wouldnt say that there is too much stealth on the game, as a matter of fact it could use more. Also you re visit the same areas but still not repettive. The only thing that is both repetive and bad is the bossfights, in those fights you have to dodge attacks from a big enemy and ride him to kill the rest, it gets kinda repettive after a while. If anything needs improvement is the bossfights that need to be more complicated.

Yup you are right, why so serious? I am just saying that Batman AA is one of those games that you enjoy so much, no matter if you like what its about or not. You know, like those old games back then....

Anyway, the poison Ivy fight was diffirent and beter, but after that it felt like the developers rushed to the end and to the joker bossfight. Same dissapointing feeling as bionic commando. Overall an amazing game but the last part was quite dissapointing, and when i was like "Yay i am gonna finnish batman AA"...i was like" yay i just finished...batman AA, oh well whatever what else i got on my pc to play:|...."

Thats right i did not even bother with the challenges. Anyway i will hope to see Batman AA 2 soon, this time i hope the last part is a good as the rest of the game. Ooops, i forgot to mention that there is the scarecrow in the game and the last bossfight with him is a pretty disturbing moment that almost gave me a heart attack.. godamn you Rocksteady!!!:o

Click here to see what happened: [spoiler] So here you are walking around the asylum, playing the game and the sound gets screwed up and then the screen gets screwed up and you think that the game got broken and you pc is fried and then you see the intro of the game, but joker is driving the car and you play as joker and the immates have taken control of the asylum and they have captured batman. Then joker shoots batman and the following message appears:" game over, hint press middle mouse button to dodge jokers bullet and retry" Then i click retry and batman gets up from his grave and he is in a scarecrow's nightmare!!! [SPOILER/]

Godamn it, dont pull stuff ike that in the next game, you gonna kill me!!! Anyway, still one of the best games in the generation with true quality, i give it a 9.0 out of 10!!

Finally amd replaced my cpu, now i will be able to play new games. I have not set up my rig yet, but anyway let me tell you what i was playing till that time. But first, The gta iv dlcs are coming to pc. Good because i have not touched gta iv for a long time because of my cpu. Now i can finally play the game and review it ;)!!

Let me tell you what i was playing till now:

Vitecong purple haze includes both vietcong and the expansion fist aplpha. It is a fps set in vietnam. The cool part about the game is that you have a squad and you can get healed by the medic or checkpoint save when you use the radioman or receive ammo from the engineer. There is a variety of missions such as saving a POW during night time. Another cool stuff is that the combat is very well designed. For example the enemies miss and take cover and they dont spot you from miles away. What amazes me the most is the ai, that is pretty good for the time the game was released. Also another noticable thing is that the diffirence in difficulity is nto just the damage you receive. In the higher difficulities the ai is faster, they react faster and they lean shoot with accuracy and take cover very fast and effectively. So the difficulity is very well designed in this game.

Another cool thing is that the game has alot of weapons of most types. Like eg:m1 carbine, mosin nasgant, pssh 32 and 42, thopmson and ofcourse the usual RPD or ak47 or m16 and m60. Even tokarev and makaroc and a 38 revolver.Sadly no m14 but the expansion adds it. Last part of the good stuff is the fact that the game has a quickfight mode in which you unlock "arena" levels during your compaign. Those levels could be used in a quickfight mode that you choose your weapons, level and how many enemies and allies you have and both sides start fighting one another.

Thats where the good stuff end and the bad stuff start. The compaign is kinda dissapointing without much epicness or any good ideas. Mainly the compaign felt dissapointing in comparison with other vietnam games such as Men of valor or the mod for half life, heart of evil. For exampel why there is no rocket launcher or a level that you fight in a city like men of valor. Basicly at the end the compaign feels dissapointing for an old game. The expansion is ok, but its very,very short. Only 5 missions.

At the end the combat is fun in this game but he compaign was not much to impress me. So i give the whole package an 8.0 out of 10!!

Silent hill homecoming

I played most horror games and all silent hill games. There are some diffirences with the older silent hill games.First of all i thought that this game is gonna be more casual and dumbed down. However the game has a more simplified control but by no means its easy to play. Let the ign reviewer to talk crap about being able to kill everyone with meele attacks and other stuff. The truth is however that the game is trully a survival game. It starts in a weird way and at the begining and no one wants to tell you what its goin on. But latelly all the pieces of the puzzle come up and for the first time a silent hill has a story that MAKES SENSE!!! Anyway the story is solid, its better than all the other silent hill games.

The gameplay is mainly focused around exploring and killing enemies, plus some items and puzzles. There is not much exploration. Eg: You dont have a city to explore but the monster in the outdoors areas are respawning. If you try to fight them then you wil most likely die, so it will be wise to run instead.Once again the ign reviewer is wrong because in sillent hill you run like the previous games and not fight like its another casual game. Also there might be combos that you can use with meele weapons but you wont be invicible like the ign reviewer said. Combos is a cool idea that upgrades the gameplay, it does not make it dumbed down. Also there are guns in the game and the upgraded editions that you find hidden in the game. Those weapons effective but you can easilly run out of ammo and be forced to use meele weapons. Thats not the point of the game. The point is to keep your ammo and use it for the bosses. True survival gameplay. Also there are puzzles, some of them were easy but the last part of the game has very hard puzzles that i was not able to solve by myself. So i wouldnt call it dumbed down at all.

The game has some very twisted monsters as you can see and some very weird bosses as well

The graphics and optimazation are fine but the port is not much, eg no buttons appearing in the screen, just an indicator and people have ecountered crashes in the options menu. Overall the game is not the best silent hill game and it feels diffirent since it was made from another company but still its pretty horrific and weid as heel, so despite its technicall problems i would give it an 8.0 out of 10!!

Bionic commando

Everyone seemed to dislike the game, but i loved it. I blame the consoles for having hard time to control the character. (The game requires you to move fast and it can be hard on consoles)

The game on pc is a ok port without bad control, there are no graphic options but it looks fine.Apart from that the only problem is that only xbox buttons appear on the screen and not pc buttons. But apart from that the game is fine.

The story of the game is unique, in the future bionic technology has been banned and bionic soldiers have been imprisoned and stripped from their bionic parts. The setting is also awesome. The bionic soldiers decide to launch a nuke and turn the city upside down. So now the goverment releases the main character and gives him his bionic arm and sends him in a mission that only he could perfom. To explore the devasted city and defeat the bionic terrorists. The plot could have been a nice season in a epic sci fi tv series since every terrorist knows the main character as one of their own "major spencer" and the back story that is told when you play the game is explaining more about the game itself.

There is nothing more epic than dive in a destroyed city and making your way through like spiderman. Its the most epic, innovative idea and setting for a war that i have seen in years. For that alone the game is uber underrated. I am really suprised that no one like it. The combat is amazing, you can jump around stuff and grab enemies plus use various guns. The more you progress the game, new areas come up, liek destroyed cities to undergound areas annd destroyed central parks. It seems taht most people were pissed because it was not another non linear open world assasin creed ****game. But the reason i liked it is because the linearity made the journey more epic. Also more weapons and enemy types appear plus challenges to earn extra stuff and extra abilities.

The game is an epic journey with EPIC music and amazing ideas and innovations. No matter how hard i try, i cant seem to find any negatives stuff apart from the fact that the last part of the game was so dissapointing that it made me change my rating from 9.0 to 8.5. also it killed the possibility of a sequel and GRIN the company that made the game is now closed :(!!

Anyway i highly reccomend the game to enyone. Its epic and i cant think of a reason not to reccomend it. Its AA for me!!

Now that i got my pc back in business i will be able to review newer games and i will make smaller and more often blogs!!

Why did it took me so long to post?

a) issues with the pc

b) I was to bored to post:P

Dont worry it will be quick

Conflict desert storm....is a 3rd person tactical/action game set in 1992 (I think) in Iraq. You have 4 characters a sniper, heavy weapons (machine gunrocketlaunhcer) the squad leader and a sneaky demolitions epxert. Desert stom is a game with propably some of the best missions i have ever seen in a tactical fps/3rd person shooter. You mainly move in paths/roads and comtrol one character at a time and switch beetween them in order to get them in position and resolve the situaton with tactis. Allthough you can order them or switch to a character at any time.

There are desert and urban missions. Objectives may vary, such as destroying AA vehicles or sneaking into a base and planting explosives on SAM missiles. Or even being in an urban area and use your demolotion expert to sneak behind a tank and blow it up, or make your way through the corridors and get inside a building, stealth kill the sniper and use his vantage point with your own sniper.

While it sounds hard and too tactical, its not. You can pick up weapons and ammo from storages and you got tons of medkits. Even if someone falls down, you can still revive him. There are moments that many enemies are spawned just like cod4 and you have to take them out. So its a game that there are tactics but you are not gonna miss shooting a lot of enemies like every other shooter.

So far its a "suprisingly" good game and if you want something simple and not to tactical, then i highly reccomend it!

What else? Oh yeah, there are 2 vehicles in the game, sadly you can control only one character, so you either drive the vehicle or use the machinegun or shoot the cannon. You can still switch beetween characters or order them to move and shoot.

Now the bad part is that it has the WORST aiming i have ever seen, either its way too fast, or way too slow when you zoom in.

I managed to get past it since you are getting better latter on and it only takes to zoom in and shoot.

In the begining you are not very accurate and you will notice misses. Later on you get exp and get better, also you get better weapons.

Very good game, i reccomend it: 8.5!!

Elder of scrolls iv Oblivion

So many people love or hate this game. To tell the truth i enjoyed it alot and its propably one of the best rpgs i ever played....Ahh ouh , stop throwing keyboards at me and listen: The truth is that its not an rpg as making choices through dialogues. Neither its a game thar you have to level up all the time since the monsters and npcs have balanced level with your character.

The reason why i liked oblivion is because its a HUGE game with insane amount of content and stuff to do, i spended about 80 hours. The game has a huge map with so many things to do and so good looking enviroments, sadly they are not unique, they feel kinda the same. All that stuff are a pure ground for modding, which is the amazing part of the game.

The gameplay of Oblivion is balanced because it had to be balanced in order for you character to facre daedra assasins and exploring oblivion gates....and surviving!!!

Think about it, what if oblivion was slow and require from you to level up all the time? The result will be another slow as hell morrowind with very borring and slow main quest? Unlike morrowind, oblivion starts with an epic way and shows you a tutorial with an epic way too. Also some of the first missions, like closing and oblivion gate and saving Kvatch or finding the emperors son and taking him to cloud ruler temple. Are just epic scale quests that if the combat was not balanced you had to spend plenty of time leveling up or starting by simple quests sush as taking stuff from grandma a to grandma b:lol:!! Which kills the whole point of making quests that supose to attract the player to play the game more and not drop it. Like morrowind which was so borring, like the developers did not care if you get bored on the way.

Oblivion has plenty of feautures and plenty of troubles. First of i wanna say that it has amazing sound and the sword combat is one of the best i have ever played. It also has great voice acting but the problem is that there are few actors with very distinguish voices, so you gonna keep hearing the same voices in the entire Tamriel :(

The game has features like potion creation or spells and the abillity to repair armor and lockpick, sneak or even collect various items and use them to make other items. Eg bt collecting bones you can make arrows along with another item.

I did like the combat balance because i did not want to spend too much time leveling up before i explore a dugneon. If i had to level up the game would have been slower and it would be annoying to try and find a dungeon for my current level. Let alone that i would spend double the amount of time playing the game ;)

The point of the balance is that you can start anywhere and visit whichever town you want first and not worrying about skill level.Also every town has diffirent acrhitecture and guards so you can tell which is who by looking at a building, oh and it has plenty of towns :) thats the way i like it. Believable worldmap.

Oblivion has some problems like the guards that always know where you are, but it can be fixed via mods. Everything can be fixed via mods. Add 100 new monsters and weapons, add your own mage tower, make your own quests, get a pirate ship and hire pirates to do the job for you.

One thing that has to be noted is that the sidemissions quality is EQUAL if not better to the main quest. Thats something that worthts to be pointed out to that other game...gough, gouh mass effect that has cheap missions and its not worth messing with. Thats another reason i liked oblivion so much, its not a game, its life, you start venture off and do sidequests and it feels like its a part of the main game. You will run into some cool situations. Like slieeping on a ship and taking off to the open seas!!!! Explore ancient temples and solve the mistery of the Aylids... and many other stuff that prove that the developers did care about the freeplay quality.

The story and main quest in the game is not much, but propably better than today's crap. It kinda turns bad near the ending but anyway it was fun as long as it lasted. The story in the game is not much but atleast it aint generic. The whole Cyrodill universe and how a cult managed to open hellgates is something non generic, atleast you dont fight another dragon at the end like all those generic Knight rpgs!!!

Overall its propably the best Freeplay/ modding paradise game i ever played. 9.0 and 9.5 with mods!!!

Finally a game with huge and dense worldmap filled with forests and plenty of towns!!!

Rise of the argonats

I liked that game much more than mass effect. Well apart from the similar dialogue system there is not much to compare. One of my biggest complains in mass effect is that the story and characters are not well done. Also the directions is pretty meh sicne you make so many diffiren choices and it misses the whole point.But this game is diffirent. You have one character. Thats Jason and when you make choices in dialogues you mostly say the same thing since the developers want the story to be told right and not turn into random. The choices you make represent which god you wanna gain power from. Its a cool idea because many times i had to change my choices in order to satisfy one of the gods.

The story in this game is done very well and the directon and voice acting is also one of the best i have ever seen. The characters and dialogues are so epic. The way that games captures the Greek mythology is amazing, it worhts to be experianced. The levels of the game are somwhat small, some linear, some more like town that you have to travel into and talk to people. Kinda like mass effect. But unlike mass effect. Rise of the Argonauts has amazing level design. The acrhitecture of some buildings is amazing. Why mass effect can have so well designed buildings?

The gameplay is somwehat hack and slah and not rpg. You got 3 weapons, a fast sword that cuts fasts. A slow but powerful mace than can break shields fast but its not as lethal as the sword. A spear which is slow but it can be thrown and you can connect you attacks and grab enemies and toss throw them on their allies!!! Just like "300" :)!!!

You mainly swtich beetween those weapons and use the shield which has a bash attack just like "300"!!! Also in your travels you will find diffiren weapons and armors with diffirent capabilities. Finnally There is an upgrade system that gives you some god powers to use in combat. In order to level up you have to devote your actions (completed quests or achievements in the game such as convinicing a character or killing 30 enemies with a weapon) to one of the gods. Once you fill up the bar you will gain a power. What is dissapointing is the bosses which are all must be defeated in a very stupid way like the developers lacked ideas.

Overall this game was an amazing cinematic Greek mythology eperiance for me so i give it 8.5!!

Brothers in arms hells highway

So this game is sequel to a tactical fps. The thing is that it plays more like a gears of war game than a tactical fps.

First of all the story is pretty impressive with some plot twists that are worth checking out. It also ends like its gonna be another game.

Second while the story and the loacations are good. The gameplay is awful. It cannot be played as a fps. The screen turns red all the time and you can practiclly take cover behind something and kill everyone by yourself. No need of use of tactics. The new stuff are that you cam use 3 teams and order them to flank or take cover behind stuff. But, while the maps do look better and more physical than the previous games...there is no way you could play them tactically, alteast i couldnt find a way, after a while i just gave up trying to be tactical and i just killed everyone. The game does not feel tactical and the maps dont point out how to use tactis and where to use them. Thee are missions that you are inside a tank and you destroy everything in your way, just like that, just like a console game!! Or even use a sniper to shoot many enemies and you cant leave your position.

So the story is good but the compaign is meh!! Ok then, should i buy it to play it as another ww2 fps? Absolutly not. Even when you play in 3rd person mode combat feels pretty unsatysfing. Basicly this game does not sucseed in anything.

I give it an 8.0 because the story is really "Freaky" and its worth taking a look on how Matt is slowly going nuts and for the awesome plot twists in the game. So just for that 8.0

Xmen Wolverine Origins

This has to be the best movie game i ever played. The story is ok for a movie game and the graphics ok too. The combat and enemies are also ok without doing anything amazing, Level design is pretty good.

So overall i dont really have something to say apart from the fact that this games is the only movie game that not only it does not suck but it is actually good. Not amazing but stil very well designed. It was fun playing as wolverine and trying out stuff. What really impressed be is the length of the game, which is not short. Its actually long. Also they used objects that can be pushed just like god of war. Ofcourse there are other puzzles in the game so without anything good or bad to say, i give the game 8.5

Ghostbusters

Another good move game, not as good as the previous but it still does make you feel like you are a ghostbuster. The ghostbuster element is done perfectly.There are plenty of areas to hunt and the game is pretty well done apart from the last mission which is quick and pretty un-epic:(!!

So ok its a fun game, and i might dare that the atmosphere managed to be scary at some times :lol: no seriously. It also has a few good ideas. But its a terrible port with broken aiming and laggy view. Basicly its pretty mediocre but the actual game was good. Therefore 7.5

Next time sillent hill origins and bionic commando, and we will see what else...

Hello again another late post but i promise ill post more often.

Rainbow six vegas 2

I played the first and it was a nice game but it had to problems.

a) too much red screen

b) too many "defend your teammates" non tactical situations

In Rainbow six vegas 2 both problems are fixed. The gameplay is now more like cod4 and there are plenty of weapons too choose from, its less tactical and more action and you gain level and unlock new equipment, if you are looking for a modern firefight fps then this is the game you are looking for.

The terrorist hunt mode can now give you plenty of replayability.

The game is impressive, you can play as fps or take cover like gears of war.

The missions are not as good as the first but atleast you die less often.

Its less tactical and the weapons are too acurrate, this is both a good and a bad thing.

I dont know wherever to give this a 8.5 or a 9.0, well i give it an 8.5 because the previous games had better compaign.

Far cry 2

Finnally reviewing this one. Alot of people dislike far cry 2 for various of reasons.

I like far cry 2 because unlike every other fps its not linear, its open ended in a big map and it focuses on two things, driving while traveling and shooting.

That means its repettive and there are no other gameplay factors such as radioenergy or artifact hunt like stalker.

The reason i like far cry 2 is because you can attack an enemy base the way you want.

a)sniping, many open ended fps, even stalker lack that part. I just like sniping like the original far cry, is that bad?

b) big maps and traveling. Having a big playground to shoot tons of enemies is another thing in an open ended fps. Perhaps borderlands manages to do that better.

c) Using the enviroment such as setting the vegatation on fire and watch them run or use vehicle machineguns and grenade launchers.

d) Flanking, the ai in the game is very dynamic, if you make noise, they will move in and investagate the will surround you from diffirent angles. Thats why the gameplay is focused around shooting and immediatly running away and changing your position. That was so addictive for me and i kept on using it al the time.

The graphics are trully amazing and its amazingly well optimized. Especially the shadows are cutting edge.

Now lets focus on the negative parts and explain why i didnt mind at al.

-Repettive, i knew its gonna be repettive from the day they showed the first gameplay videos. The point is to attack enemy bases the way you want. Besides Assasin creed is repettive but the point of the game was the gameplay and not the missions. Sadly i didnt like it because i was aiming for missions and story. But in far cry 2 i was aiming for fps gameplay.

-Story, the story in the game is pretty much meh for the most of its parts, but the beginning of every chapter was a plot twist. Also the last parts of farc ry 2, especially that part with the buddies has to be the most amazing plot twist in a game the last 5 years... holy damn i did not see that coming:shock:

For me the story has an inner meaning and after i complete it, it was still in my mind.

"Everybody dies, africa wins, trust no one, your enemy is your best friend"

-Combat, too many bullets and too many jams and no headshots?

To be honest not really. The weapons in far cry 2 are very accurate, unlike stalker for example. So you gonna have to hit the enemy more times.

Every weapon in the game is diffirent. Eg the g3 is weak but very accurate and has low recoil. So you unload it on full auto on an enemy. Headshoting is possible if you aim direcly to the head and squeaze one shot....instead of trying to hit the head by unloading in full auto. Making it that effective will be unfair to the other weapons.

As i said every weapon is diffirent, so the ak 47 is less accurate with more recoil and more powerfull. So its more of a controlled bust weapon. The AR-16 is a zoom 3 round burst weapon. The best way to use it is to aim and quickly tap the fire button to fire single rounds fast.

As you see every weapon is diffirent. Some are very accurate and weak, some others are strong and innacurate so you must not use them in full auto.

The mp5 is powerfull acurate and effective but it runs out of ammo very fast so its good for headshots.

Unlike stalker in far cry 2 the fact that you unlock new weapons doesnt mean you should forget the previous. There is some sense of balance in the weapons. If you have rocketlauncher, sniper rilfes, auto shotguns, grenade launchers and flamethrowers...making the pistols and assault rilfes powerfull seems kinda unfair and you wont use the heavy weapons.

The armory is designed in a way that you cant have everything, eg you can carry:

Slot 1: a pistol or a small smg a singe fire grenade launhcer or a bomb

slot 2: assault rilfe, sniper rilfe, shotgun, mutli grenade launcher

slot 3 machingun, rocket launcher, flamethrower, dart rilfe.

So you can use normal loadouts: pistol, assault rilfe, flamethrower

Or weird loadouts: grenade launhcer, sniper rilfe, machhinegun.

Why cant i have assault rife and a sniper? Or assault rilfe and a shogun? But i can carry a machinegun at the same time?

Als you can choose elements:

Stealth: silenced pistol, silenced smg, dart rilfe.

explosive: bomb, grenade launhcer, rocket launcher

Fire: flare gun, flamethrower,molotovs

-Too much jam?

Well if you think about it you can unload 2-3 clips without a signle jam in far cry 2 but in stalker clear sky every weapon i pick up from an enemy jams every 2 bullets. Now thats useless not the weapons in far cry 2, also far cry 2 has stronger pistols.

-Traveling too much?

I liked that because the world felt real and not limited for a game, also the enviroment is worth looking at.

-BAD ai and respawning enemies?

The ai is 100% not bad. The investagate noise, they flank you, they can drive cars and ram you off the road....unlike crysis :roll:

Also if shot one of them once and he fell down, i would kill him but i was bussy. Then i watched him crawling inside a house and holding a pistol as he was bleeding:shock: I got in the house and he raised his weapon while spitting blood...then i KILLED him!!

Another thing is that i was sniping from a tower and one of them got under the tower, ouside of my range. I was waiting for him to go up, but he didnt because he knew i would kill him if he came to me. So i just let him there and killed some other incoming enemies.When am done i turned around and he was right behing me!!!!:shock:

Trying to sneak up on me when i wasnt looking.

AMAZING AI!!!

The ai spawns fast, after you leave and area and revisit that area the ai respawns.

There are plenty of stuff to complain. Such as the fact that you dont really join a faction since everyone is trying to to kill you...or the lack of npcs and the no knife stealth kills.

But i didnt care for any of this. Far cry 2 was for me a very addictive game and all i did was to kill, kill and kill again.

In the beginning i dislike the gameplay but somehow i got so addicted by its gunplay and combat. I cant explain it... i didnt care they respawn, i was happy because i could kill them again and again...and thats the fc 2 gameplay for me, not the story or the missions.

Infact i thought it wasnt repettive enough because i wanted to go back at the same areas and kill them again with diffirent weapons and tactics...yeah i know, i got no logic :lol:

So yeah my guilty and weird pleassure i give it a 9.0

STALKER Clear sky

So let me tell you what i liked and disliked...because the game is too much like the first so there is not much new to say.

I liked the new maps in the game which are very well done.

I liked the more open ended gameplay it had, atleast in the beginning.

I more stalkerish story than the first.

Better ballistics

upgrading weapons

What i didnt like:

Some maps and graphics are the same as the first and it felt kinda borring looking at them again.

Way too buggy and i dont get why, since its too much like the first game.

The weapons are worse isntead of better. They are very weak and sound like bb guns. It killed my gameplay. So i used the high quality sound effects mod, which has awesome sounding weapon sounds and the g-mod which made the weapons more accurate and powerfull but also made the game harder. I cant find medkits anywhere.

Armor is braking up over time and requires repair, your character bleeds every time he takes hit, even if he falls from a long distance.

The voice acting is hillarous(i guess thats a good thing)

Very accurate grenade throwing.

No actual ending...either you die or not its the same thing..

oh and where is my g36?

So for the most part was fun, new areas were nice, combat was..meh, it was way better in the previous game.

Bug and crahes were imminent and in the end it was a fun experience but nightmare to play through.

stalker sold two millions, some polsih wouldnt hurt.

In any case they work on call of pripyat right now which sounds good so far. Many new areas and more polished gameplay.

So 8.0 is my rating

I played those games along time ago and i never bothered to tell you what i think, also this blog post came very late.

So let me begin:

Bully schollarship edition.

Bully for the pc is a very nice game with awful optimazation, The main story is amazingly well done, and i cant belive how good it is, congrats to the developers.

The game is fun and challenging if you wana try kicking everyone's arse. There are many cool stuff to unlock in the game, such as many cool weapons like the spudgun or many outfits with sneaking benefits, eg i used the slingshot to kill way too many prefects that where chasing me and i got a ninja suit, there are 3 in total.Win too many races and you can drive your own cart around, very fast and convinient

It took 35 hours.

The game is full of fun and missions crafted by gods, amazing missiosn really.

What sucks is the cops and prefects that spawn infront of you and automaticly bust you if you do something illegal, i wanna go gta on their arses but i cant :(

Anyway my score is 9.0 amazingly fun game

Dead space.

Dead space is the closest thing to system shock 2, unlike bioshock you got an inventory system and there is a limit in how many items you can carry, the campaign is pretty damn good for today's crap, the story is ok but it manages to grab you and make you keep playing, as you advance on the ship you explore new decks and find new enemies and crew logs, i love the whole idea of being stranded in a spaceship.

The game has awesome weapons, especially the plasma cutter is amazing, 3 beams to aim that can be turned vertically and horizontically in order to cut things such as arm and legs, alternatively you can use the line gun to fire a line of cutting mass that will sever everything at its pass. AWESOME WEAPONS!!!!:twisted:

The game manages to keep you in 24/7 without being tiresome and borring.....well compared to some other games i played. The gameplay is basicly aim at arms and legs and cut them, dont shoot to the body, dont worry its easy.

You can buy upgrades for your weapons or better armor and get psi abilites that will allow you to move stuff or freeze enemies and objects...that makes the game smarter since you have to deal with puzzles that require that you use your powers and move or freeze objects.

Also there are upgrade nodes that can be used to upgrade your weapons or open lock doors.

Survival horror?

As you can see in the screenshot above there are cool moments that you are grabbed by something and you have to use your weapon to aim and shoot what is draging you along the spaceship.

However its not horror, since there are no scarry scenes, just weird monsters like this and a very nice atmosphere.

Survival? I started playing the game beliving it will be hard and you have to stand still to move, however dead space movement and aim is pretty good... well better than RE5 atleast, also unlike survial games, dead space is keep giving you ammo...Ohh more ammo for the weapon i am using, damn inventory is full what should i do with that?

Simply the game is not survival, its easy and there is tons of ammo.

The game has cool usage of holograms to show you video logs or the inventory or the ammo left in your gun or your health at the back of the character.

The campaign is so good, its exactly like wathcing a sci fi horor movie, its full of awesome events.

The game is easy to get into so no worries for hard gameplay. 10 hours long

It is amazingly well optimized.

Systen shock 2> dead space> bioshock

I got to say this is propably the best and coolest new ip. The game gets a 9.0 from me.

Now where is dead space 2 ?:D

Alone in the dark.

Unlike the previous its a hard survial game that you got to converse items a bit, the control is terrible but if you switch to first person its just fine.

Alone in the dark is amazingly well optimized and it had pretty good technology for its time, it has to be the most groundbraking campaign i have seen the last few years

Its amazing better than watching a movie or a series, so many awesom stuff, such as attempting to connect wires in order to get the car started when zombies are attacking your car... :shock:..its like a movie damn it.

The game uses "previously in alone in the dark" everytime you load game, WOOW:o:o Its like watching a series the story and directing is amazing.

The game has amazing mission variety and its not repettive...apart from the last chapter, where you find out that both endings suck :(

The music is amazing!!

The gameplay is focused around amazing things happening full of suspence and epic moments and running around in central park to avoid the zombies.

The combat is focused around items and fire. You can grab stuff and fight with the zombies or drive away.

Its not scary but i have to say that it has the coolest survival gameplay i have ever seen. you dont have to worry about ammor but guns dont really do anything to zombies. To defeat zombies you must use fire its the only thing that can kill them , either throw bottles and the slow mo will automaticly help you aim and shoot them to blow them up, or make flame bullets and aim at the weak areas of the zombies to kill them.

The game has amazing plot twists along the way and it managed to keep me interesting, the chapter ends with a clifhanger...:shock: I WANNA LOAD THE NEXT CHAPTER NOW!!!!!

Thats how the game works, so you get the pshychic ability to close your eyes and see the zombies weak points and try to burn them, or you can run to car and try to start it, after you seacrh it to find items in the car compartments :)

You can use sprays or healing sprays with a lighter to easilly burn enemies, wow what an amazing weapon...or you can heal yourself, there are a few puzzles here and there that make this game great and not repettive, remember that craks running on the wall and spider spawners can be killed quite easilly with one flame bullet.

Alone in the dark is a hard game to reccomend, but if you like a grabbing story and diffirent gameplay with new ideas and survival elements, and non repettive missions then i can easilly reccomend you to give it a try, pesonally i dont mind the control, i just switch to fps view.

Nice and diffirent game i give it an 8.5

Mirrors edge

A nice idea for a fps, you mainly jump around stuff and avoid the police in the begining which can get pretty annoying, since all you do is running away but later you get many weapons and fight your way thru.

Story, combat, levels are all pretty good but not amazing, the story ends in a weird way but i swear the god i was crying near the ending. It gotta be the amazing soundrack.

Very cool idea innovative and all new, its funny how when the game is not unique is generic and when its unique then its repettive and stupid, well i dont care what people thin i enjoyed the game, it has pretty damn good graphics too.

However its a game that worths experiencing. Such a new and innovative idea, i give it an 8 out of 10. fun but not a masterpiece, most games now are a test, if they work they give and improved sequel with more budget, unfortantly mirrors edge 2 didnt, but i hope for a sequel, fps wall runnig is a must.

Next time oblivion, Far cry 2, stalker clear sky, dark sector and sas secure tommorow and rainbow six vegas 2.

The first non linear blog... i made reviews regarding some games:

Read whichever review you want not all of them, thats what i mean non linear....

Ps (all my reviews are short)

DELTA FORCE BlACK HAWK DOWN

Which was very similar to cod 4 for its fun kinda frustrating sometimes but very fun missions.

It deserves a 7.5 but i gave it an 8..... and no its much better than delta force xtreme, i couldnt stand extreme

HERE

MASS EFFECT

More like bore effect to me, i found it very borring and a huge letdown very inferior than kotor with worse story,charcters and very few worse planets.

Very easy and no rpg sytsem and i ended up having 999999999 credits.

bioware was developing this game for a very long time and it ednded up be as simple and dumbded down as comparing fable to oblivion

They say its the most nonlinear game ever, which is a lie, it feels very linear and not much of exploration, unlike kotor the only plantes you can visit are the ones that are focus to the story and most of them are linear action levels with enemies to kill...:(

Cant say i care for the cheap dialogue options much that dont really change anything unlike old games like fallout 2...

No matter what yo say sometimes he replies with the same way or complety "one word"

Also people say it has great story..no its the most generic and simple sci fi story, its a mix of everything eg most of the game reminds a modern version of star trek and i find hard to belive that all races use the same weapons and items.

It has no depth and the only thing that worths it is the main quest which is average.. very inferior to games liek oblivion that the sidequests have amazing quality... dont focus on sidequests on mass effect they are really borring.

Also the main story lacks cinematic moments and when you get explainations to answers that arise along the way you seriously thinking that the games story is pretty cheap.

The whole save the universe thing is really cheap and doesnt resemble what the game actually does... i mean come one no one takes shephard seriously and the citadel doesnt look all that important

Also it has chep and simple corridor level design

I cant say i like it and i can easilly say that after all that deathborring crap iv been thru i WONT be buying mass effect 2... there are higher hopes for assasin creed which i hated due to repettiveness.

It deserves an 8 but i gave it a 7.5

HERE

Prince of pesia

Never liked:

Art graphics

button mashing

repettive missions

non linear gameplay

Well prince of persia has all this but i have to say i really like the game especially the charcters made me fell something the game is like its made by disney its so dreamy and innovative it really worths it.

Also they work on a prince of persia movie:

Maybe there is hope for game-movies yet... :)

Q: I am a prince of persia fan, will i like the game?

A: No i was a fan too but i got to admit i was starting to get bored in two thrones which is the best in the series.. ok perhaps not, warrior within is the best...so i wanted to play something diffirent.

Such an innovative game:

Detalied and a bit frustrating review:roll:

HERE

CALL OF DUTY WORLD AT WAR

Well inferior than cod4... but the game doesnt feel like wwii it feels like a cod4 rip off..even the gameplay, it has some action scenes and overcorded shooting but i found it borring with out really giving much, but the worst part is how cheap and fake the weapons are.. they all sound like bb and you can unload a BAR in full auto with perfect accuracy.. every bullet will hit at the same plac :shock: boooo treyarch boooo.

Very short and detailed review

HERE

Seriously its really short...

NEXT TIME... i will review oblivion, far cry 2, mirror's edge dead space, turok, crysis warhead, half life 2 and episodes

That is gonna happen very soon so stay tuned.. i know i havent been bloging for a really long time since i started my acount, but its gonna be more often now.
