Modern Warfare 2 Review .

2009-12-12T02:49:00.002+08:00

So I finally got my copy of MW2 after everyone has been talking about it , and after playing it , I immediately screwed Borderlands and started getting engrossed into the game .

First impressions
When I first got the game at The Software Boutique in SS2 for RM219 . I was shocked at its poorly printed packaging along with the horrible Booklet that tells you nearly nothing at all . Everything on the outside looked so cheap and demotivating , especially the screenshots of the game itself . But anyways , it's whats inside the two DVD's inside that counts right ?

It took me around 10 minutes to install the game along with STEAM on my computer .

When launching the game , it has three modes to choose from : Campaign , Spec Ops and Multiplayer .

Single player
Now I'm gonna try to refrain from spoiling the whole campaign experience for you , especially since the Modern Warfare series has been critically acclaimed for its epic storyline . The storyline of MW2 however , is inferior compared to the first one . Don't get me wrong its still really engrossing but it's just not as good . One big issue about the storyline is that it's so obvious that IW (infinity ward) has been rushing this which caused a few plot holes and a really confusing storyline which only some may actually understand it .

And again , it's only 5 hours worth of gameplay or slightly more .

The graphics along with the guns and other systems are AWESOME though , the voice actors also sound really professional .

Another thing that I would like to add on is that for noobs like me , even on recruit mode you would be dying alot .

And just for a reminder , the storyline is STILL better than many other games and even movies out there , just that its too short and it's rather cliche from the first one too , and yeah along with some confusing bits .

Spec Ops
Spec Ops is something fresh for the Modern Warfare series . It's like a co-op multiplayer campaign with no storyline at all . Through this mode players can either choose to try this alone (HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED) or team up with a friend on STEAM to do tasks . I tried Spec Ops with Jeremy finishing the Alpha missions and completing half of the Bravo ops . Some missions allowed one player to be an AC-130 gunner to cover the other player on foot on the ground that has to reach a certain extraction point . Some missions required both player to coordinate themselves to avoid guards and only killing the necessary guards with your silenced sniper rifles to reach a certain point or they could just try to kill them all (Which , me and Jeremy tried , is harder than avoiding them ) . This is something new and kinda fun , but it doesn't beat the REAL reason why everybody loved CoD4...

Multiplayer
Yes , you've probably heard of the boycotting of MW2 because IW just HAD to remove Dedicated servers from MW2 . Here's what it means :
-No choosing what server you want to join
-No in game admins to kick hackers (VAC supposedly does the work but human admins are ALWAYS more efficient in catching hackers compared to anti-hacking softwares)
-Maximum capacity of 8v8 ?!
-PC gamers will suffer alot since you might get matched up with people from around the globe and start lagging .

To replace the dedicated servers , IW has chosen to use a matchmaking system which they call 'IWnet' . Basically when you hit the 'Find Server' button , it will automatically matchmake you to other players that has the closest latency/location to you . While this was done to prevent lag fest games , it fails when I'm a Malaysian and play at the wee hours and get matchmaked to American players -.-

It has some advantages though , because it chooses the player with the best IP and connectivity to be the host .

Other than the IWnet issues , the MP experience is just AWESOME , sure the higher levels still get the upper hand BUT with death streaks and the beginning classes , it's relatively easier to play as a level 1 now .

The maps are good , the perks are slightly more balanced (Except Akimbo Shotguns (Many debates about that one 0.o) . Guns...They're more of them .

Just for the record , out of 10 games that I play per day , I usually get only 2 to none laggy games , and so far I haven't found a single hacker yet after the update . And even if my latency is just 1 Bar(when I was matchmaked to Koreans) , I managed to get some kills because the lag is BEARABLE .

Oh and BTW , they removed the console which means that there is no way to mod maps/game types and etc.

The verdict
MW2 isn't as epic as its predecessor , but it's still a REALLY REALLY great game . It doesn't deserve Game of the year like CoD4 but it's still good .

Pro's
-Storyline still engrossing
-New guns and weapon systems are amazing
-Amazing voice acting and graphics
-Multiplayer experience (not taking in account IWnet) is still solid

Con's
-IWnet and the lack of dedicated servers pulled this game down for good (ONLY for the PC community , the Console community are widely unaffected)
-Players have barely any control over which map they want to play
-No more console which means no more mods
-Storyline could've been better

Overall rating ,
8/10

Borderlands intro !

2009-12-06T20:24:00.002+08:00

Hello people !

Yes I know I've been (or we've) been in a hiatus for awhile even after PMR so it's time to say ....

I'M BACK !

My upcoming review will be on the RPS game "Borderlands"

The game is actually really experimental since that it's one of those games that combines the RPG genre with an FPS .

I've just gotten a new rig and started playing , so I can't make a full review just yet since I haven't finished the game .

Though I've got to say that the Graphics with everything set to MAX is really outstanding...(It's cell-shaded by the way...)

GUIDE TO SLAYING ZOMBIES that hails HITLER.

2009-10-14T21:28:00.002+08:00

Yes people , Base of Action is now back in action .

Have you ever played a game where there's an endless horde of zombies and you and your friends get to kill them and earn fictional money with no physical form of currency? Well there's only one game that has this in a very complete form and not some cheap retarded flash game from the internet. It's NAZI ZOMBIES , well they should not call it Nazi Zombies since there are hell hounds and Banzai Zombies but hey majority of them Nazies so no point arguing in that sense.

So , you finally gathered 3 friends to accompany you to end your curious urge to try out Nazi Zombies and guess what it gets addictive! But you feel like every time you play it you never get past level 20 no matter how many times you tried so want to get there here's how...

Let's start off with the basics shall we , on how to smoothly past by level 10 without breaking a sweat here's how ...

1. At level one don't SHOOT , let the zombies pour in and leak though the small passages you don't need bullets to kill them just knife them when they get in . Why? It's because you don't need guns and when you knife them at level one the chances of dropping bonuses are at a 20% chance which is the highest in the game. When level one ends if you and your friends do exactly what I told you , you and your friends should have 1000-1200+ credits.

2. At level 2 and 3 continue stabbing and slashing em zombies you do not require any rifles just your pistols , rebuild the barricades after level one then when they pour in again go for a different tactic . This time before they go in hold them back with the barricade which earns you a chance to knife them until it takes just one more stab till they die and when they pour in the first zombies which you stabbed at will die since you stabbed it once at level 2 and twice at 3 remember for every level it takes one extra stab to kill them. When they pour and after you killed the first one approaching you to kill the rest it depends on your pistol now which does less damage than the knife , first shoot the zombies a couple of times at least 2/3 of you magazine then knife them at 3 you need the whole magazine don't worry about ammo you should have enough otherwise you could cook a grenade before they enter then when they pour it explodes and turns them into crawlies which are legless zombies that crawls to you this is no problem to anyone as it only takes one stab to kill a level 2 and 3 zombie. By the end of level 3 one of you should have at least 2500-3000 credits while 2 persons have at least 1000-2500 credits and lastly 1000-2000 credits depending on bonuses.

3.Now that you've opened a door make sure you open the one that leads you to the random box , if unless on Verrukt or Der Riese which instead just get the most reliable gun from the wall. In level 4-7 it's fairly easy for anyone and hell hounds are quite easy too. The trick to surviving a hound round is to stick together , 2 person handles one dog . Now during the hound round which only occurs in Shi No Numa and other later maps the dogs have a fixed amount of health all the time regardless of level and only 2 dogs can chase after all four of you during the level which means that if you the only one you'd be in deep sheeet. But fear not it's really easy to outsmart dogs the trick is to move diagonally now dogs may be fast but they're retarded at moving diagonally mainly because you have 2 legs and they have four so move diagonally in a circular pattern and you should be fine handling dogs by yourself . REMEMBER dogs also do a fix damage by percentage which is 45% so it takes 3 bites to incapacitate you so don't let your guard down . ALSO don't buy any other gun other that random weapons because it's the most worth your buck stuff ever! Imagine paying only 950 for a gun like a MG42 now that's bargain alright don't worry if you get some sheety guns for it's only level 4-9 which does not require too much effort to kill them even with a KAR 98k

4.Now level 10 things get rough , if you're playing Shi No Numa or other later maps randoming weapons will result into the most hated crap ever the Teddy Bear which replaces the old random box with a fake decoy box with a bear on top of it so to avoid it random only when the level font turns from red to white because the bear is zombie related so during the zombie slaying time the bear usually appears when you random one too many times but never during the white font. During the break you have just enough time for up to 2 people to use the random box once but it's no big deal since there's a 1:4 awesome weapon ration which means that if 3 people gets a crappy gun one will not but most of the time all four of you will get substantially good weapons to use . At level 10 you should be opening most of the doors by now , for example at Verrukt you should have already get the electricity running , at Shi No Numa you should get gotten to either the Supply Hut or the Doctor's Quarters , at Der Riese you should be trying to enable a teleporter . However in Nacht Der Untoten you don't need to open upstairs at all unless you're really comfortable at your current position and wants a stronger challenge so be careful when you're up there. Also note that in Verrukt and Nacht Der Untoten you may random as many times possible and there will be no bears also there is no hound round so it's easy for many people . Don't get perks till level 16 , it's way to early plus you should be investing in weapons rather than perks. REMEMBER when you get incapacitated you lose all your perks until you feel skilled at evading zombies don't get any perks until level 16.

Well I'll continue another day but first do try my tactics and I assure you it'll be a breeze to past level 10 in fact there should be no incapacitation during the first ten level and by level ten one of you should have up to 7000 credits if you don't get perks and you score lucky early with the random box. Happy huntin. :D

The new special infected ---------

The Charger is an infected with a mutated, oversized arm, and can move quickly and knock players in its path off their feet. It can also grab players and smash them against the ground 2 deal major damage

The Spitter spit's phlegm that splatter across an area, eroding the survivors' health as long as they remain within it

The Jockey can jump onto the back of a survivor and steer them towards other infected or traps set by the game.

New game modes ----------

Scavenger mode has the 4 survivor characters scrambling 2 collect gas cans from various spots in a confined location in order 2 fuel up a generator before a two-minute timer expires. There are 16 cans total and 20 seconds are added to the clock for each one that's successfully retrieved. 4 other players, controlling Special Infected, must do their best 2 stop the cans from reaching the goal.

Realism mode Valve's Doug Lombardi explained that it was 4 the serious player: "Take Portal for example: We had our best internal players who could blow through that game in about 30 minutes, but within weeks of launching it we had people on YouTube beating [the testers'] times by 10 minutes or more. Realism is 4 those players."

Dissidia:Final Fantasy

2009-09-15T17:53:00.006+08:00

"Is this the Final Fantasy we Envisioned?"

So this is Square's response to Final Fantasy's 20th Anniversary, a Final Fantasy Styled Smash Brothers Brawl with less characters, no items and can't do four player on. This is what would first come to anyone's mind when they first saw the trailers to it. However this game is nothing like Smash Brothers Brawl and definitely will not dissapoint you. The question is though, is this game worth your money? The answer is in this review.

Plot:
This is one thing I can't really give a rating for considering I can't really understand the entire story in this game. However I can give a synopsis on it. Chaos and Cosmos are two entities at war with each other. The Main Protagonist and Atagonists of the Protagonists are summoned to fight this war for them. In order for the Heroes to get back to their world, they need to collect the "Crystal" that represents them. I'm not sure what the Villains are after, yet. However the plot already is an interest for me, and for anyone else that have played the Final Fantasy games. I'll have to add more detail to this after translations and/or the US version comes out, this might also change the final score.

Gameplay:

Dissidia's gameplay from trailers and just videos alone can confuse anyone, especially first timers to this game however here's the easy breakdown. The point of this game is to get your opponents HP down to Zero. However the only way you can do that is to attack them with BP attacks (The Circle button) to raise your Brave Points, which is the only way to inflict any damage at all to their HP. Once you have enough Brave Points you can do a damaging HP attack (Square button) which if it connects will knock your opponent down by the amount of BP you had.

The first reaction to this would be to "Just spam BP attacks and then finish them off with an HP" However the game is not as simple as that. First let's start with the actual content the gameplay offers. Players can dodge attacks, using the R button with a directional push. The moment they are in that roll motion or air spin they are completley invunerable to any attack. However they are left slightly open when the dodging animation stops. This sounds like a hindrance however it does add fairness to the game as it's your own fault if you roll right into your opponent only asking to be knocked down for a beating.

The second is the Guarding which is way more useful tool then Dodging when it comes to dealing with BP attacks. You tap the R button to Guard, however the Guard only lasts for a short two seconds. If you time this right your opponent will be left wide open for a short period of time allowing you to get a good combo off of him. If your opponent is on to you the moment you drop the guard you'll be opened to having pain thrown at you. Once again making this a rather fair fighting game still.

BP attacks are mostly combos done by pressing the circle button, or a direction + the circle button. These attacks can cause up to 400-500 (Depends on your character's level and equipment) BP points added to you. For each BP point you earn from attacking your opponent looses theirs. So it's best to always be prepared for standard attacks. The HP attacks when connected to your opponent trade in your BP points to subtract from their HP points. BP attacks are always harder to strike with unless chaining them with a combo and there are many reasons for that. First of all, the character says a line or speaks right before pulling it off, and the text for the attack pops up on the screen letting both players know a BP attack is going to happen. However all is not lost if you miss, you still keep your BP and you can use it again. If you do strike and your BP drops to Zero just wait a while and your BP should rise right back up to whatever your character's default BP is which is once again depending on your stats. However get attacked while your at zero, or get reduced to zero and you get something that's known as "Break."

Break is a new gameplay element added into Dissidia to make the game more hectic then other games. What happens is that your defense for HP attacks are the same however if your struck against something along the lines of a Wall, or ground you will receive nearly 5x as much damage as you'd normally do. However you can't die from hitting a wall so your HP might just drop down to one.

Ex Bursts is another addition to this game, that can play like the first Bloody Roar's beast mode, only a bit more simple and at the same time more advanced. When you attack your opponent there are little blue orbs that will float around your character. The goal mainly for this is to grab as many as those little orbs as you can to fill your Ex Guage, there are also Ex Orbs that appear randomly on the map which can only be found by either locking onto that instead of your opponent or following your blue ex mini orbs that are getting sucked into this main Ex Orb. Once you have enough you can enter the Ex Mode form which grants your character special abilities but on top of that the Ex Burst attack which is a very deadly attack that requires a different special input for each character depending on what Final Fantasy game they are from. The Ex Burst does big damage to your BP and then finishes it all off with an HP attack. Ex Bursts are initiated by hitting the opponent with an HP attack while in EX Mode. So the only way to avoid getting hurt is just to play dodge with them until their gauge drops back down to Zero.

If the action is too fast for you don't worry, Square-ENix knows there are RPG fans out there so you have the option to turn it from an action game, into an RPG by adding a command menu onto the screen where you just choose your option and press X.

I don't want to get too far into the characters, however each character plays very differently from the other causing you to want to use a certain strategy with each one. One of the most unique characters is Exdeath due to being more of a counter kind of character then a brawler.

The final thing I want to get into is Summons, there are over 40 different summons in the game and what they do is give you special BP conditions or damages your opponents BP. Some do nothing but just hide both of your BPs while others copy. You can only have one summon on your character. Mix all this together and you have one major fighting game with gameplay that requires a thought process of a Final Fantasy boss battle.

P.S.:The English Version of this game has been out for quite awhile incase some people didn know.

Content:
Next we go to the Content of the game, and I have no idea where to start from but here's a run down on each of them.

1. Story Mode
Story Mode, which just as it sounds is a Mode to help progress your character, learn about them, level up, obtain items summons and more. The Story Mode takes place to what's best to describe a board game. The point is to move your character from Point A, to Point B by any means. The game makes it easy for you at first by giving you a tutorial of the run down on how this works in the Prologue. However even the Board Game requires strategy, you have a set amount of DP (Destiny Points) which don't effect the story at all but effects the rewards you reap. Now you are looking at a map with 4 enemies, 3 treasure chests and you only have 4 turns. How are you suppose to do this? Well this is where planning comes in. Certain enemies have DP chances which give you special conditions in order to raise your DP by 1 point. Though that alone isn't enough which is where chaining comes in. This is where you position yourself between two enemies and that allows you to take them both on at once without losing another DP. If they both have DP points then that means you can leave with 2 extra moves on your set which will allow you to reap the rewards.

However Story Mode does come with it's quirks. As you begin to beat it with each Final Fantasy Hero (as the villains have no Story Mode) you begin to find out that this is all a chore for you. All the enemies start off very weak and simple no matter who you choose and get harder near the end. Personally I see this as a problem because it just feels like you're doing the same thing over and over again with a different character. They try to mix things around like Onion Knight you don't know where the enemies are, and Tidus gives you way more enemies then normally however it's the exact same feel. There are a few extra modes after you beat all the Heroes that make it worth it, however nothing more then Inward Chaos mode in which you can finally put what you've learned to the test in really hard battles. However you need to be at least Level 98 or higher if you even want to survive it.

The other problem is that the Boards make you have to return if you want to unlock everything by special gold blocks that can only be cleared by getting the star for that part which requires 1000 points to unlock all four. So it becomes more of a chore.

2. Duel Colliseum
This is what you get when you're not strong enough for Inward Chaos, what this mode does is allow you to select 4 options depending on your level. From there you battle it out in an endless brawl to raise your points up, level up and earn new items. You only have 3 chances to lose, unless you pick up a "Job Card" which grants you special conditions. Making this a tournament..with strategies and many rewards.

3. PP Store
Now this is what I'm talking about, a store in the game with actual worthwhile stuff. Although I can't understand all of it, you can buy characters (The villains and a few secret characters), alternate costumes, music CPU level capping and much more. This store will take a while to get as much points as you can to buy everything you could ask for.

4. Vs Mode
There are two versus mode, one for playing against CPU, which is the basic set yourself up against a computer, set their difficulty, level, and Behaviour. Choose a map, and then choose the music you want with it. There you battle it out, however the CPU's A.I becomes a problem as they are always either too easy, or so hard that the fun's taken out as you play a camping strategy to beat them. If you want a fun fight that doesn't include running CPU's and blocking crazy ones go for a level 7 behaviour.

The second mode is Adhoc matches where basically you can play online against other players, and also have "ghosts" which are specific A.I controlled CPU's following a specific pattern of the one it was chosen to record. Square-Enix has also released a few set of codes to pit you against ghosts they've made in order to unlock special items. Such as a snowboard that's held by a rough level 45 Cloud, ect, ect.

5. Museum Mode
This is where the Story Comes together, and a place you'll visit more frequently then other games. There are the normal Museum things in typical games such as look at characters, and summons to learn about them. Read Cosmos and Chaos reports look at icons you obtained and stats. However there are two you will be visiting most frequently. First is their media center where besides listening to music and hearing voice you can view every single cutscene. Not only that these cutscenes all appear to be in Chronological order of the events of Dissidia. So when you pick up the english copy of the game, unless you understand Japanese this is going to be your first step after you unlock every single (Over 200) cutscenes.

The second thing you'll be going to often is Replay Mode which works kind of like Halo 3's only much better. You have the option to turn off status, and then control the camera to your liking. There are also a lot of preset angles to fit the style of recording you want and if you have enough skill you can create one rivaling that of Advent Children's gameplay. There are a few flaws I've noticed though. The first being that you can't choose the camera to cut at certain ones and then combine angles at other points. It chooses which ones to combine and cut by itself. This can cost frustration and lead to going through angles that don't show either character. The other flaw is that there will be some points where the camera will get stuck, mainly FF3's Gimmick version stage where when it turns into a small box. Your camera will sometimes be behind the game wall and can't zoom in at all to the battle, and you'll have to just restart the replay to that point and fix it.

Then comes the best option AVI Export, that's right the first PSP game, that I've played anyways that allows you to Export your Replay into a format that you can soon encode and upload to Youtube or any other streaming site for everyone to view. This is the best option I've seen any game offer.

Sound:
There is no problem with the sound, at all I play with really good sound muffling headphones on and they added perfect detail to every sound. Giving nostalgic sounds depending on that Final Fantasy Character, and you can hear how far and which direction your enemy is in making it even more useful. In replay mode the sound density and direction changes as well depending on where the camera is.
The music features 1-2 remixed songs from each Final Fantasy, all remixed to fit fighting in Dissidia in which succeeds. There are also non-remixed songs used in the game to keep nostalgic feel to the game. However the two secret characters from their respected Final Fantasy games have no remixed songs, or stage. So it's unfortunate but nothing that creates a problem in the game at all.

Graphics:
The Graphics are still something you would expect from Square-Enix, eye catching, beautiful and even better looking then Crisis Core. Many people say this looks like a PS2 game, or better then a PS2 game. I have to disagree there to a point. The game looks like one of the middle ages of PS2 games however it's more like an era between the PS2 and the PS1's capabilities. The stages are huge and very destructable, there are gimmicks in each stage that you can tun on and off. However there are also commands you can do in the stage, much like Kingdom Hearts reaction commands just not as cheap.

Customization:
This is the last thing I want to bring up, that I nearly forgot to mention. Final Fantasy Dissidia features a major customization rivaling that of a standard Final Fantasy RPG. However the customization is really just like Kingdom Hearts. You can customize which button to do which move, and learn new moves as you level up. You can also add certain abilities to characters which take up (AP) points, just like in Kingdom Hearts. You can't grab every single ability because you don't have enough AP to do so. You can also change your equipment however certain equipment you can't attach at all while others require you to be at a certain level. That's all I can really say about the customization due to the fact that english will be needed to fully go into detail of it.

Overall:
This is not one of the best fighting games out there, but it's definitely one of the best games I've played on the PSP, and is solid Fighter with many RPG elements in there. Every online battle you face may play the same but there will always be different equipment, move lists, and summons that will change the battle around and cause you to change your strategy. Same with CPU's. This is also the first Fighting Game to have so many options and content in it. Is this game worth a buy, definitely. However only in English because unlike most fighting games this one has so much content and plot you will have to understand it's language to truly enjoy it.

The Good:
Solid Fighter with many RPG Elements
Story Mode that has over 200 Cutscenes
Customization mode rivaling that of an RPG
Extra Modes to keep you busy after beating the Main Story
22 Characters which all fight differently.
Museum is worth visiting way more then once
Replay Mode
Nostaligic Music for old time, and new time gamers.

The Bad:
Story Mode's board can feel like a chore after a while.
A.I can become unfairly hard ruining an epic experience with camping.
Replay Mode has limits that are uneeded.
Story Mode cutscenes are not in any real set order, (However this is fixed with Museum Mode's cutscene viewer)

Final Score: 9/10

Reviewer's Score: 9/10

COMPUTER HARDWARE! :D

2009-06-22T20:29:00.003+08:00

Want to upgrade your computer without any hiccups? Easy there's a few thing you can do for your old rugged computer to extend it's lifespan and making it more reliable! Here's a few steps and facts you have to keep in your head!

1.Hardware
-When it comes to replacing old graphic cards and memory MAKE sure the frequency of the hardware matches your motherboard i.e : If your processor is a 800MHZ make sure you're buying a DDR2 or a 800MHZ chip because if you do get a DDR3 for a 800 MHZ it's going to run at half or 3/4 of the potential power .

-Get a graphic card that can dual channel . Why? Because if you're budget is tight you can always get 1 then another 1 to dual channel with later on so that you don't have to buy 2 solo running cards thus making it cheaper , better and more efficient in your computer!

-Always remember if you're going to change the processor or the motherboard you mind as well buy a new computer because you're basically replacing everything in it due to the fact that if you're buying a new processor or a new motherboard or both you'd mind as well just buy a new computer because let's face it who does not buy a DDR3 capable processor or a motherboard to replace your old rugged DDR2? When you do get it , you'll realize all your old DDR2 hardware are now going to run like rubbish being cluttered all over the floor when you put two incompatible running hardware together!!!

2.Financial
-Be patient when it comes to hardware shopping , bear in mind that computer parts are cheaper in the annual PC fair which happens in Malaysia every 2-4 months so therefore you should buy from PC fair because it's 20%-70% cheaper than buying retail , 15%-35% cheaper than direct manufacturer.

-Always know that when it comes to buying hardware know what you need and don't need for example never doubt an extra fan when it comes to buying more power consuming hardware for you'll never know how cool they have to be to run at 100% efficiency , another example is buying 2 1 GB ram when getting a 1 2GB ram is much better because there will be more PCI slots although much expansive but in the investment in making your hardware less space consuming makes it much more vast for upgrades!

-Don't be too cheap when it comes to buying hardware know that expansive parts have more longevity than cheap useless parts like for example buy a Kingston ram instead of some cheap China brand chip because it's better to rely on veteran chip makers than to use some useless sound-so-cool brand chip! Trust me on this for you'll never know when you'll get conned for being a cheap arse! Besides the PC fair is very cheap on chips so there's no excuse in budget cuts and going overboard on parts.

3.Maintainability
-When it comes to maintaining your hardware it's best not to overclock it , why? Because overclock is just some dumb cosmetic excuse into making killing your own computer sound cool and a necessity. Overclocking damages hardware! It's a fact because overclocking means making your hardware consume more electricity in a more unstable matter thus making the hardware burn out or get damaged due to an overheat or an unstable load of electricity come crashing down on those gold plates you see on your chips making them blow up ( not literally ) and making it complete in death.

-Caring for you computer is essential don't just skip a defrag or a virus scan just because your friends came by your house to play some powerfully demanding games and you can't! Always know that you're defragging because you need to consume less hard disk space and less hard disk space means faster internet , faster gaming , faster everything! A virus scan is essential so essential that if a virus kill your OS it can kill your hardware data too thus making your hardware dead! If you don't want to defrag then buy a SSD ( Solid State Drive ) it's expansive but more efficient the RPM is faster than the old classic hard drives 2000-5000RPM faster making your data faster to read and making gaming faster! Also SSD do not need to defrag , in fact defragging it will cause a placebo so don't! Lastly SSD may not have more space and they hardly reach 500GB of space ( the most now is a 320 GB ) but they yield more power and more convinience to your monthly maintainance by cancelling defrag for life and making virus check 50-80% faster because virus scan speed are based on how fast your hard disk reads it's data and also don't worry about the speed SSD are more safer than classic hard disks.

4.Controls
-Buying fancy gaming mouses and keyboard ain't for FARKS neither is it a waste of money , if you've tried it for some time you'll know it's better than those cheap crap you've been using all these while but do understand that if you don't feel the difference it means you do not need one , I've met people who bought these professional stuff but are too blinded by the influences from thier friends that they eventually could not see the diffence and therefore they just doubt the power of it . SO realize it before buying!

-You should off your sticky keys and all the other irritating stuff that pops out because Microsoft belives that if you off it it's because you have fancy gaming mouses and keyboards and if it's on it mean they want you to stop trashing your cheap keyboard and go buy something that works!

- Controls are affected by hardware , software and the gamer so don't blame the hardware if you suck at shooting , don't blame the software if they do not have controls as you'd desire and don't blame yourself if you can't frag people faster than the others for you only need experience ,strategy and practice to frag people the right way!

So if you want to upgrade your computer , remember the four things you've read just now HARDWARE , FINANCIAL , MAINTAINABILITY AND CONTROLS so that you'll know what you've upgraded thus making you appriciate you dedication to your old machine turned new again! :D

CORNMASTER! :D

Left4Dead Review Part 2: Survival Mode

2009-06-20T10:36:00.001+08:00

Today I would like to introduce the Survival Mode in L4D. Basically the players just face hordes and hordes of Infected and Special Infected as well. The goal is to stay alive as long as possible. It's hard and challenging as when you face a horde and are reloading, a Smoker may just suddenly pull you away. Likewise a Hunter can just leap onto you.

Unfortunately, the AI (Artificial Intelligence) aka the bots leave you alone especially if there are two human players. For example, bot Francis got caught by a Smoker and bot Louis goes to save him and gets pounced on by a Hunter while the two human players are fighting a Tank. See what I mean, because since the two human players are together, the bot's priority is the other bot, as he is in trouble. Logical, but a Smoker is less deadly than a Tank.

As the pictures tell, I died after 5mins because a Tank punched me off the cliff. It was also my fault as I was at quite a high spot and I didn't see the Tank.

Back to Survival. To start the game, a player must "Activate the fuel pump". It's kind of like triggering a Panic Event in Normal Mode.

Well, hope more people try it.

Left 4 Dead FRENZY?!

N+ (Purely Addicting)

"Purely Addicting"

When I first saw screenshots of this game I thought this title was going to be quite bad, well I guess I got slapped in the face with the old saying "you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover". N+ is a fun and challenging game that will leave you playing for a long time and causing everyone around you telling you to shut the hell up since you will be shouting at the PSP screen.

The game is very basic, you are a ninja (albeit a very crude one) and your objective is to grab a crystal to open the locked door and go through it all the while gathering some gold for your troubles. You are a jumping master, you can leap from on wall and jump all the way to the next, you can even do the old wall to wall jump, you are a ninja after all. That's basically the goal of the game. There are numerous levels for you to play on each one getting harder than the last, and there is even a level editor in which you can build your own level and even share it on the internet for others to play thanks to it's multiplayer mode. As you play through single player you will unlock more parts to use in the level editor and even unlock new colours for your ninja.

The game starts out quite easy, jump here, grab this, head back and so on. Later on it will pick up and you'll find yourself dodging missiles, lasers, electrified balls, mini bombs, and other little gadgets that will try to hinder your progression, even the levels get longer and become more puzzled base by adding switches to press to open gates to reach your destination. Each level is unique and some are quite interesting and can give you inspiration into making your own level, such as the stage in the game that looks like a dragon. This game is not easy, some levels will frustrate you, but luckily the restart option is very quick and puts you right in the action with lightning like quickness. If you feel like you can't beat a stage just put it down and come back later, it works, that's my advice.

Graphics don't really matter to a game like this, they are very nicely done though. It's nice and simple and the colours are not frustrating on your eyes. The screen for each level usually sticks to your PSP screen meaning that it won't cause a part of the level to disappear when you go to one side of the level which is pretty nice. Music is quite good actually but for some reason I usually just don't hear it, maybe it's the pure concentration on trying to beat the level filling my head.

Overall this game is quite enjoyable and is very addicting once you find your comfort zone. This is what I think, what about you? Don't be afraid to try something new, you just might like it...

Price of Razer equipment in Singapore

2009-06-05T23:59:00.007+08:00

This is to some people who said that Razer stuff in Singapore is cheaper than in Malaysia, think again.

The price of the Razer items which I saw (in BEST, Paragon Shopping Centre, Orchard Road) were: -

Razer Krait - S$49.00 = approx. RM120

Razer Lachesis - S$120.00 = approx. RM292

Razer Salmosa - S$49.00 = approx. RM120

Razer Copperhead - S$79.00 = approx. RM192

Razer Diamondback 3G - S$79.00 = approx. RM192

The price of the Command & Conquer 3 : Kane's Wrath DeathAdder bundle was S$89.00 which is about RM216. I bought mine for RM199 if I'm not mistaken.

And I'm sorry I didn't see the prices of the Razer Tarantula or Razer Lycosa Mirror for comparison XD I didn't want anyone to catch me (you are not supposed to bring cameras into the shopping complex)

So my conclusion is that it's cheaper in Malaysia guys!!! Our DeathAdder is now about RM150 when theirs is about RM180-200.

Prince of Persia Review

2009-06-03T22:13:00.005+08:00

Have you ever dreamt of a game with open world gameplay , Awesome partner whos a beutiful princess and you could NEVER DIE?! This game is the right one for you! if you're having problems executing fast combos and chaining them and do little benefit to you.

Unlike the old prince of persia series..ubisoft came out in a new story and this had nothing to do with the old prince of persia series...The main character isnt really a prince..the game itself refers him as "prince" and it could be seen in guides , tips and even in the manual. In this game..you had a partner named Elika , she's a princess of the city who seals the evil god of darkness Ahriman in a tree in the temple...Shes like the BEST partner ever..she can kick the enemies ass while pressing triangle and she COULD save you from almost any attack and even if you drop she will save you from almost every ledge you missed.. even if the enemy had knock you down and you press the wrong button and your enemy is gonna end your life...she saves you without FAIL but in return the enemy's life will replenish to like a quarter a bar..

The graphics were awesome for a cell shaded type and looks almost realistic and many casual gamers who are anime fans will love this . Button mashing is a sin in this game and it prevents you from making and chaining more combos so many button mashers who played o2 jam or DJ max will find it complicated and a litlle hard to get used to...The main aim to cell shade the graphics in this game is to let you enjoy the scenery of the entire MAP and giving you even frame rate..

The enemies you were fighting against were known as the "corruption" and they were Ahriman's minions..and each of them were once a high leveled citizen of this city and they turned to Ahriman to their fantasies and end up being his minions...In this game you dont encounter enemies just like Devil May Cry ...you always had to One on One with them and those normal minions came out pretty little and quite sometimes you see them spawning in their area and they had a BIG BOSS like life bar right below you but all u gotta do is either shove them off the cliff or hit em until they die and that will take you quite a while..The map shows the entire region of the city and each and every dot theres a boss fight and theres only 4 bosses...and you had to encounter them over and over again but you had to use diffrent tactics agains them because of the enviromental change..This time you dont have to find your way but Elika could just show you the way and its similar as Isaac Clarke's holographic GPS system..

You could always talk to Elika when you're bored or sometimes after finishing a task by pressing a specific button..The Prince sometimes shows some CONFLICT of INTREST in Elika and slowly in the game you could even find Elika having intrest in the prince too...like when the prince fell down and after saving him...she will be like ' pls dont die when im starting to like you' 'you're lucky (in a sexy tone)' or sometimes when both of you are on a horizontal pole and you need to go to the other way...the way you switch places with Elika is kinda akward ... and Elika will say "haha having fun?' or sometimes if you catch her off the ledge or something she will be like 'hmmm didnt know you're such a gentlemen' and sometimes the Prince will crack out jokes against the enemies or sometimes he whines when Elika holds on to his back while sliding down saying' ARGH! you're heavier than you look!' or 'ouch! dont dig your nails in me'

Overall the gameplay isn't as much as a Hack and Slash and It was more like Assasin's creed One on One with your enemies and its sometimes fustrating to collect power seeds to unlock the next level...but the graphics were great , the framerate is smooth , the enemies are beutifully crafted and designed and you could never die..but its less chalenging and no long loading time ( thats whats the cell shading for)..

the score is..............7/10

This game is recomended for Prince of Persia fans or casual gamers , anime fans , and STRICTLY not for Hardcore people....(cos they would end up whining saying its too easy)

OMFG!

LEFT 4 DEAD 2

2009-06-02T13:50:00.002+08:00

HOLY CRAP LEFT 4 DEAD 2!? OMFG! E3's greatest surprise is LEFT 4 DEAD 2 !

THIS ARTICLE FROM ROCKPAPERSHOTGUN.com explains everything and everywhere about Valve's next greatest game LEFT 4 DEAD 2!

Left 4 Dead who now? No one was expecting Valve’s next game to be a sequel to 2008’s awesome co-op zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead. To answer your immediate question: Yes, this is a completely new game, with new characters, in a new location, with new zombies, new weapons, new twists, and an improved Director, in five completely new campaigns set in the Southern United States. This isn’t more maps for the previous game, it’s a brand new game, and it’s due this November. We snuck into Valve HQ ahead of Monday’s announcement and played a full campaign, and at first glance much appears to have evolved.

It’s still Left 4 Dead: Valve have more sense than to change anything that made the first game so splendid. Rather the focus on L4D2 appears to have been the desire by everyone involved in the first game to make something bigger and better. Coming off the back of the project, we were told by various Valve developers, people we bursting with ideas of where to take the game next. So they went right there.

Left 4 Dead 2 takes place in the South of the USA, beginning in Savannah, eventually reaching New Orleans. There’s four new characters to play, each with back-stories to be hinted at in their conversations. Coach is a high school football coach from the Savannah area, used to leading the kids, comfortable in his life, and perhaps not enamoured by the arrival of a zombie attack. There’s Rochelle, from Cleveland originally, working for a cable news network. She’s producing a segment on this strange story occurring in Savannah, and gets caught up in the events. Ellis is a Southern boy mechanic, an enthusiastic but smart guy with a “Southern flair”. Finally there’s Nick, a gambler and a conman, unsure of his company and cynical about the events.

The plan for the five new campaigns is to bring them together more coherently, so you can more obviously see how the events of one lead to the beginning of the next. Nothing that will enormously impact on jumping right in to a game in a particular stage, but giving a stronger narrative logic to the complete game. And with that, the new cast will also develop their personalities as things progress. Coach looks set to gain bravery as he gets closer to New Orleans, while Nick’s attitude to the others may soften. This will be born out in a more elaborate and involved collection of dialogue barks, once more primarily away from the player’s control. Perhaps one of the most endearing aspects of L4D was the characters’ surprisingly apt and timely remarks about the events, and occasional exchanges. This is to be expanded upon, with many more back-and-forth moments of chatter appropriate to the events happening around you.

Beyond the new cast, nothing else from L4D is being replaced, but rather added to or expanded upon. So the Special Infected we’re already familiar with will appear, joined by a new collection. Of these only one has been revealed so far, The Charger. Looking like a crossbreed between a Tank and a Common Infected (what an unholy union that would be) the beast has one giant mutated arm, which he uses to shoulder-charge the Survivors. He knocks you down, but doesn’t incapacitate you. Rather you’re off balance for a moment. As happened to us as we played with Valve designers, he’s capable of taking out many of you in a single charge, sending us flying like bowling pins. However, should he charge someone on their own, rather than running to hide after, instead he might pick you up with his giant arm and repeatedly smash you face-first into the ground until a teammate comes to rescue you.

While other Specials aren’t yet shown, we have seen some changes to the familiar. Rather cutely, some of the Common Infected have been changed while in hazmat suits. This means laying down walls of Molotov cocktail fire won’t keep everyone away any more, as the fire-proof baddies can run right through. The pay-off for this is exploding their heads and seeing the goo splat against the inside of the perspex visor.

But perhaps most exciting is the Wandering Witch. Another new feature of L4D2 is setting some of the campaigns in the daylight. The campaign we played was such, and it’s oddly frightening to see it all happening while the sun shines. Making our way through the sprawling streets of New Orleans, desperately trying to reach a distant bridge at the other end of which was lay an apparent helicopter rescue, the only time we needed our torches was when making our way through buildings. And it seems in the daytime, the Witch has a bit more pep. Rather than sitting crouched, sobbing, singing, now this most terrifying of gaming enemies methodically paces around, wandering where she sees fit, although still apparently zoned out. She may be on foot, but she’s no more interested in being disturbed. This adds in a whole new aspect to Witch evasion. No longer can you simply take the long way around where she’s squatted. Instead, she may well be walking exactly where you’re headed. Or worse, walking up behind you, singing her haunting song, suddenly infuriated by you when you swing around in terror.

The Witch’s capacity to create anecdotes seems only more powerful now. Sitting down to grab some food with a collection of Valve, stories about their most frightening or plain inconvenient Wandering Witch stories flow freely, each explained in animated terms.

Of the new weapons, perhaps the most exciting reveal are the melee tools. So far we’ve seen the axe and the frying pan. Yes, the frying pan. Feeling like a sneaky bit of TF2 in the game, it’s the perfect comedy weapon, that somehow doesn’t feel irreverent in a way inappropriate to L4D’s more sullen world. Complete with a fantastic KWAPANG noise, it’s extraordinarily effective to bat your way through crowds, and can even be used to knock a Hunter off a pinned Survivor. There’s also a baseball bat, which didn’t appear in the campaign we saw, which we assume will be a little less bonky than TF2’s Scout’s. And the chainsaw, which again we haven’t played with, but hell: there’s going to be a chainsaw. The axe can’t go unexplained either. It’s utterly brutal, and shows off the Infected’s newly regioned vulnerability. Swing it low and you can slice off a zombie’s legs, letting them collapse horribly to the ground, bleeding out of their fresh stumps. Or maybe swipe off either arm. Or most horrendously of all, remove a face.

This same gore is achievable with all the weapons, with new ragdoll deaths for the throngs, to make their entrail-spilling, armpit-dribbling, face-exploding ways all the more entertaining. There were many gasps and cries of “OH GOOD GRIEF!” as we played, the strings of guts slopping wildly into the air, or as mentioned above, the faceless leaking mess suddenly bursting like a blood-filled balloon as the Infected fell to the floor. It’s awesome.

There’s a new shotgun, a new semi-automatic, and a brand new sniper rifle. This last one feels dramatically out of place in a game where you can’t stand still, but it seems extremely likely that this will be the weapon that will be used most skilfully. Obviously powerful, it’s a very useful tool when you find yourself in one of the new “gauntlet” moments.

Gauntlets are one of the new elements that will occur, as one of many moves to attempt to make L4D2 a more consistently thrilling experience. In the final moments of the campaign, finally reaching the bridge, we had to cross it. At the other end lay the potential of rescue. But it was one long, straight, inescapable path down which the Director was able to screw with us as much as ‘he’ liked. Standing still was never and option, but trying to stay high, jumping from roof to roof of the vans and cars, very much was. Someone sniping from the back here proves helpful, while a couple of at the front wielding axes or frying pans was equally effective. These make for interesting moments, an almost unrelenting onslaught from in front, but the peculiar safety of knowing that nothing you didn’t let get past you would be attacking from behind.

Another very smart change is to prevent sneaky players from trying to sit out the triggered events. In those moments in L4D where you had to press a button that began a frantic attack until an elevator arrived, or a door opened, it seems too many were crouching in a corner together and waiting for it to all die down. L4D2 has plans to prevent such treachery. Now some of the events you start can only be stopped by reaching a further target. In an extremely tense sequence, we had to make our way through a labyrinth of alarmed cars to reach a distant point that would finally see the attack fade. Trying desperately to avoid hitting any of the cars, and thus making the situation far worse, while having to make constant forward progress, amped things up significantly.

The Director even has discretion over the layout of certain sections of levels. In New Orleans we reached a graveyard that is different each time you play. As Valve explained to us, if the Director gives you a pretty straight route right through it, it’s an insult to how poorly you’ve been playing that the omnipotent AI thought it needed to make things a little easier for you. If you’ve won his robotic respect, then it’ll be a far more convoluted journey.

While there’s no intention to waste players’ time with dead ends, there is a greater emphasis on rewarding exploration. You may well learn the correct route through most of a level, but heading off down a longer pathway, or going to check out an out of the way room, is more likely to be beneficial. The Director is, we’re told, going to be far smarter this time about placing items, and the selection of these has expanded as well. Which includes the incendiary ammo.

Oh, what a pleasure it is to find these beauties. Like an ammo stash, incendiary bullets can be picked up from tables, etc, and will give you a clip of ammo for your current weapon that will set absolutely everything it hits on fire. Which is spectacular. Right up until you accidentally set a Charger alight and he comes bounding toward you to share it.

Everything seems bigger and better. And this includes the number of Infected to kill. The average number taken down in a campaign in the first game was around 1000. In our play through one of the sequel’s five new chapters we clocked up around 1700.

Due November 17th this year, it’s quite remarkable that it’s so far on already. And frankly, that of all developers Valve have made something this quickly is almost dizzying. While there’s obviously going to be something of a fuss made over people’s expectations that L4D would be constantly expanded for free, following the TF2 model, it’s important to stress that while this is obviously still the same L4D core experience, it’s certainly not a bunch of new maps thrown into the old game. It’s a coherent new imagining of the game, this time bigger, smarter, and far more elaborate. Oh, and gloriously more gory.

To find out even more details, be sure to listen to our world exclusive developer interview with project lead, Chet Faliszek, in the latest podcast.

PRESS RELEASE

VALVE ANNOUNCES LEFT 4 DEAD 2

Sequel to Best-Selling Co-op Thriller Coming This Holiday

June 1, 2009 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2), the sequel to the best-selling and critically-acclaimed co-operative multiplayer thriller.

Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 and PC, L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-operative action games and become one of 2009’s marquee titles.

“A large part of how Left 4 Dead became 2008’s top-selling new IP on Xbox 360 and the PC was the custom-tailored gameplay made possible by the AI Director,” said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. “With the knowledge gained from creating the original, new technology, and a passionate team, L4D2 will set a new benchmark for cooperative action games.”

Set for release on November 17, the title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more.

Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D’s dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players’ performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Featuring new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original with more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, and maps for Survival mode available at launch.

Supported by a $10+ million marketing campaign, Left 4 Dead has sold over 2.5 million retail copies since it was released in November of 2008. Left 4 Dead 2 is targeted for release on Xbox 360 and the PC on November 17, 2009, and will be launched worldwide with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign across TV, Outdoor, and Online.

“Left 4 Dead was backed by our most aggressive advertising campaign to date, and resulted in a top 5 showing on two platforms during holiday 2008,” said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. “Left 4 Dead 2 is a larger game and will be supported with even more consumer and retail advertising programs than the original.”

Left 4 Dead 2 will be featured as the cover story on PC Gamer and Official Xbox Magazines this month. For more information, please visit www.l4d.com

Infamous Review

2009-05-29T21:26:00.004+08:00

Graphics: 8.5/10

Graphics are really good for a sandbox game, I find myself just going around and trying to see the environment, they have done a very good job for graphics. Then when you actually combine the lightning effects to it, the game looks much cooler. Graphics for this game will not disappoint you at all, even during the cut-scenes the comic-book like feel looks very good too. Over-all the game does look very pretty indeed, so if you're a big fan of nice graphics you probably will enjoy this game.

Gameplay: 8/10

The gameplay seems familiar but at the same time it feels unique, kind of hard to explain. Basically every Sandbox game has the same feel to it, but inFamous has a special feel to it. The movement is incredibly smooth, and very fun. I find myself just wanting to climb buildings or jump from roof to roof 'cause it's that much fun. As for your powers, at first they are fun but once you start unlocking other powers they all seem alike but just slightly different looks to them. Seems like you're constantly pointing and shooting, which I can see why people would like it and hate it. Really the only melee moves you have your basic melee moves which is used by pressing "square" over and over to combo. Also you can jump and press "square" to do a landing that blasts lightning around you when you land hurting foes all near you. Higher up you jump from, bigger the blast radius. As for Story/Side missions, they do get repetitive because there are only a handful of missions and you repeat them over time.

Story: 9/10

The story does remind me of a story that would be in a comic book, it is very good and interesting. I do not want to release any info on the story, I would like you all to play the game to find it out. Myself, I have never been a big fan of story modes in games, or just doing the story in sandbox games unless I had too. In inFamous I actually enjoy doing the story, makes me keep wanting more after every story mission you do. All I can say though, during the story there are some twists that may surprise you a little :D

Sound: 7/10

The music and sound within the game is not amazing but it's also not bad at all. I'd say it as average for a game like this, nothing too special. As for the voice acting, Cole (main character) does a decent job. Though his partners Trish and Zeke does an alright job, even though Zeke is very annoying in the game.

Overall: 8.5/10

I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who owns a PS3, either to rent or buy. You can put many hours into this game easily, it does have a lot of replay value. I would say this is one of my favorite PS3 exclusives so far, and I would very much like to see a sequel to the game. So if you got sixty dollars laying around go pick up a copy of inFamous and you won't regret it!

Maplestory Review

2009-05-27T15:14:00.002+08:00

Maplestory is a 2D sidescrolling MMORPG..In maplestory , there are a wide selection of classes known as "jobs" such as Wariors , Magicians , Archers , Thieves , Gunslingers , and Pirates..Each and every job has its characteristics just like magicians , they could freeze monsters teleport next to them and flank other mobs at medium range and wariors could build up their combo damage multiplier and makes their damage stronger and archers are devasasting at long range but you'll most likely to bang your buck when mobs comes at close range and Thieves could throw shurikens and strike with daggers with quick attack speed. The map is a sidescrolling map and when you wanna go to another map or something , you'll have to press up on magic portals . The entire maple world is made out of chains of maps with will lead you to diffrent places and diffrent worlds.

The movement of your character is simulated throught your keyboard..that means you dont have to youse your mouse here.. your character cant run they can only walk and you have to arm yourself with a weapon to attack..you cant even run but you could WALK faster by flash jumping , teleporting , potions , skills and etc.Your character 's apearance had a big stubby head and a SMALL body and girls are REALLY FLAT CHESTED in this game with dosnt simulates real life. Your HUD 'heads up display' had simple compartments . your level and job is on the left followed by your HP and Mp bar and on the right was your quickslot inventory and your EXP bar.

The monsters were cute and sometimes ugly and plain retarded the monster's AI was really dumb and they attack on sight or either attack when disturbed. You will gain damage if they touch you or they use their skills. Low leveled monsters will just try to touch you until you die =.= . Your combat system can only hit one monster at a time but other skills will let you hit more . There isnt any lockon and theres a slight pushback effect once the enmy recieves an effective hit . Each time you hit a monster a REALLY large damage counter comes out from your attack and pink and larger ones are critical damages. Each time you level up there're be 2 things the players might wanna do . they will add their stats to increase their damage and effeciency and start adding skill points that improves that skill . Quest in this game isn't rewarding at all and the ENTIRE point of this game is just GRIND AND GRIND AND GRIND until you reach a certain level and GRIND AND GRIND AND GRIND...This game makes me feels like theres no perpose for you here...nothing you could do but to press the same button over a thousand times..This that what makes it boring...BUT to casual gamers...they will find this game REALLY INTRESTING AND ADDICTIVE . When you die you actually loose experiece and really gets owned after dying after all that hours spent on your character was gone..

Items and Equipments were being sold from level 1 to 50 in shops any items above that , you had to hunt for yourselves. Upgrading your items is a Pain in the ass...You had to buy scrolls from players or hunt them yourself which is extremely rare and unpredictable . Theres a diffrent sucess rate for each and every scroll which you want to use on your item . Your item has a few slots for upgrades . The if the scrolls pass..you get a little extra amount of damage or stat to your item while taking away 1 slot if it fails...it just wastes your time and takes away 1 slot too..Theres another scroll which is cursed and has a 10% higher rate to suceed but if it fails...IT COMPLETELY destroys your item . This is a real problem for many players and if they keep hunting for this scroll they will be playing that game forever...Thats why the developers are GETTING their real money from cheap costs from this game...There are even things that could boost your exp gains and prevents you from dying.

There are 2 diffrent type of items. cash items and normal items...Normal items are practically armour from those middle ages and all that and CASH items are actually clothes from the 21st century and they DO nothing and it just makes you look good..the cash item masks over your normal item and making you look GOOD and still having the stats..which i think its a total waste of money because these cash items will expire in 1 or 3 months..You cant even choose your colour for the items and even CHANGING HAIR needs RM50++..and although it could last forever...the coulour needs another extra RM 20++..I still dont get it why they had this type of system...although the new episode 2 patch has more value and lowered price...I still think its a waste of time..

I have two ratings for this game from diffrent point of views

HARDCORE GAMER :

PROS
2D hack and slash type of gameplay
VERY LARGE DAMAGE INDICATORS

CONS
BAD GRAPHICS , RETARDED AI MONSTERS , BAD ECONOMIC ORGANISING , NO PERPOSE IN THIS GAME AND NEVER ENDING GRINDING UNTIL LEVEL 200 NO PVP

3/10

CASUAL GAMER / LALA GAMER /NON GAMER:

PROS:
CUTE CHARACTERS , NICE 2D BACKGROUNDS , ADDICTIVE ,LARGE VERIETY OF CLOTHES , NICE GAME TO WASTE MONEY AND TIME AND COULD GET REALLY FAMOUS BY YOUR LEVEL

CONS :
NOTHING!!!

8/10

Way to improve on GAMING!

2009-05-25T20:30:00.002+08:00

This post is specially dedicated to how to be better in games well not in a sports category but rather the computer GAMING category.

When it comes to gaming , playing the game for a long time does not mean you're a veteran it simply labels you as experienced gamer , the difference between a veteran and a experienced gamer is that veteran are very built in as they know head to toe about the game from damage counting all the way to the Easter eggs in the game , experienced gamer are just people who play it a lot though they know head to toe and all the Easters they do not really know how to utilize all the tools and trades of gaming for example a veteran Warcraft 3 player have a big difference between an experienced Warcraft 3 player the veteran knows which armor is which and which damage type each unit uses where as the experienced only know the units and does not bother about armor type or damage type which and be quite fatal if you ignore it too much same goes to RPGs and FPSs .

So how do you get better , there are 3 ways on how to get better is to research all games need research . How do you research ? Simple . Simply use your creativity and roam unit facts that have a more detailed database on fan based sites and you'll get the ideas , ways and techniques to play . Reseach does not require a state of the art computer or a state of the art talent for gaming so therefore there is not F-ing reason why you can't research all you need is the internet and a computer that can run the internet and it does not cost more than RM200 ( RM99 Streamyx package will give you a free desktop ) .

Secondly is to observe the professionals with most replays having the replay function , watching professional matches in tournament can be found anywhere without any cost from YouTube to official gaming forums they all have replays for all games of all sorts .

Lastly is to play the game , if you don't play the game you'll never be able to understand anything therefore by playing the game for about an hour or two if possible it's all you need to receive whatever infomation and understanding you need about the game you wish to suceed in!

I hope this guide helps you in gaming though short it's a simplified summary on how to get better and these 3 steps are easy , simply and possible to do!

Maplestory2 and Maplestory episode 2 ?

2009-05-23T12:01:00.002+08:00

Following the post by Tze Chung about MapleStory2 , I'm here to clarify a little bit about the differences .

MapleStory2 is like a whole new Maple , which isn't even open for beta testing yet .

And for MapleStory EPISODE 2 , it's just a SUPER SUPER BIG patch for Maplesea .

I hope I clarified .

Maple Story Episode 2 (TC's opinion)

2009-05-23T11:44:00.004+08:00

It's pretty weird that suddenly Asiasoft would develop an incomplete MMORPG and the thing that made MapleStory popular was the fact that it was 2D. Moving into 3D would obviously require more RAM, hard disk space etc. The first two pictures are MapleStory while the bottom two are screenshots from MapleStory 2.

MapleStory became addictive to me because of it's simplicity as a side-scrolling game with "ok" backgrounds. The soundtrack was awesome, the only thing that bugged me was that it was too hard to level up especially when you're at a higher level. That's what resorted me to play private servers.

So, my point is I don't know how well MapleStory2 is going to be better than it's predecessor..

TC.

Mid-Terms are over !

2009-05-22T15:30:00.002+08:00

Hi people !

Our mid-terms are officially over ! Just one more week to our holidays !
But don't enjoy yet , we have our trials coming during July .

My MapleStory Ep.2 review would be delayed because of some error that has just occur .

MapleStory Episode 2 ?!!

2009-05-19T19:21:00.004+08:00

Hey people , what's up ? (The ceiling of course X) ) .

Declan here . As you all may know , the blog might be in a little hiatus for awhile since we are in the midst of our exams , but not to worry , it ends this Friday !

You might be having a dilemma with the my title , MapleStory . Most of you would have probably played this game , got addicted to it , and quit it .

Well turns out , this highly addictive game just got an UPDATE ! It's now called MapleStory Episode 2 !

MapleStory Ep.2 Changelog :
http://forums.asiasoftsea.net/showthread.php?t=615552

It would be the most detailed changelog that you can find right now , there are mini links there to clink on the find out more about the new content . Just to let you know , the patch is already out , but you must only patch it tomorrow after 6A.M. , since it's that time where they're updating the server . Exams are coming to an End , I might play it awhile and make a nice update review on it .

And lot's more I guess .

(And no , I didn't rip it all off directly)

I would love to download the new client and play it after the exams , and I would surely update you all about it , I think I still have a level 15 pirate with 30 mil inside?

BTW , Why is it so bad for them to make it dual-language ? BECAUSE IT WILL CAUSE LANGUAGE BARRIERS , IT WILL CAUSE HAVOC IN THE MARKET , IT WILL CAUSE MORE VULGARITIES AND CONFUSION . They're literally giving the LALA people power over everything now !

And last but definitely not the least , NEW JOBS ? Knights of Cygnus . I don't know much about it...YET
Good luck with you're exams all ,

One of the authors today came to me during recess telling me that he wanted to make his own Gaming review blog . It had something to do about not being an admin .

HEY! I suggested for this blog to be made...And I made the banner for it too , did I whine about not being an admin and threatening to quit and make my own gaming blog to challenge this one ?

Please , being an admin doesn't mean getting alot of stuff , it means more work , and more responsibilities .

steel series gaming mat review

2009-05-04T19:13:00.001+08:00

We all know the companies on top of gaming equipment such as Razer , Microsoft Sidewinder , Logitech G series , and steel series...lets take a little look at my new steel series gaming mat shall we?The price was Rm39.00 for the small size . The steel series gaming mouse mat comes in diffrent sizes big medium and small and oversize . Small sizes are for high sensitivity gamers while big ones are for lower sensitivity gamers . The steel series gaming mat actually gives more traction by slowing down your mouse and therefore giving it control. The aiming becomes more accurate and I've been able to pull off an awesome record of headshots amount of 57 out of 80 zombies in expert mode no mercy first stage.

And why must we have a gaming pad?First off all , the more you play games the more often you slide your mouse on your desk and its gonna rub agains your wood giving it fucked up traction which is SO slippery you mide even miss.And second is the wear and tear on your desk , you might notice for some wooden desk for a long period of time , they will start to have tiny holes , If your lazer detects that hole your aiming while be stuck at a small point and this often sucks. Third of all , we all know that nowadays gaming mouses had teflon feet that is ultra slick and smooth and imagine shuffling it up and down on your desk would increase your mouse's wear and tear and traction is VERY important when it comes to gaming mouses.

ok well my review here is done , AND PLS
If you buy this mousepad...YOU'RE AND IDIOT...IF YOUR PARENTS BROUGHT IT FOR YOU....THAT MEANS THEY HATE YOU!

Left 4 Dead Review Part 1 (Introduction)

2009-05-04T18:22:00.001+08:00

Left4Dead, commonly known as L4D is a co-op based FPS (first-person shooter) by Valve Corporation, makers of the award-winning Counter-Strike, Half-Life series, Portal and Team Fortress.

Introduction
There are 4 main characters that the player can take control of. Zoey, Francis, Bill and Louis. The abilities of each character is equal, so there's no point with fighting with a friend to choose over any of these characters.

The goal of the game, which depends on which mode is being played, is generally simple. Rush to the next safehouse. That's normal mode.

In versus mode, there can be 8 human players, 4 on Survivors, 4 on Infected. You can play as Boomer, Tank, Smoker or Hunter while on the Infected side but not as the Witch which is still AI controlled.

In the newest mode, Survival, players have to face hordes of Common Infected and 4 Special Infected at a time. For example: Usually there are only 2 Tanks, but in Survival there can be 2 or more.

The Infected (in case most of you don't know) are the names of the zombies you fight in Left4Dead. Common Infected run at you and start slapping you to your death. In hordes, they are lethal but are relatively weak in small numbers.

There are 4 types of Special Infected:-

Boomer, a big-sized Infected which vomits bile onto Survivors, attracting hordes of Common Infected. Boomers make gurgling sounds and can be heard when nearby. A few shots should take this one out.

Hunter, an Infected which pounces onto Survivors rendering them helpless. The sign that this Infected is near is it's high-pitched scream. This Infected is quite dangerous and once it pounces, another Survivor must help the Survivor that was pounced on.

Smoker, an Infected which grabs Survivors using it's tongue and constricts it's victim. Smokers make coughing sounds and can be heard quite easily. Similar to Hunters, Smokers can render a Survivor helpless until another Survivor shoots the Smoker or it's tongue, which will free the Survivor constricted.

Witch, a female Infected which is always seen on the floor crying. The Witch's crying can be heard from a distance. Witches are provoked when:
1)A Survivor goes too close
2)A Survivor shoots the Witch
3)A Survivor's flashlight shines on the Witch
An effective way to kill the Witch is to have 3 Survivors ready to shoot her while 1 Survivor provokes her.

Tank, this is the final and 5th Special Infected. The Tank has immense strength and is capable of punching cars, or objects towards Survivors, incapacitating them immediately, the Tank can also throw boulders at Survivors, causing great damage. The best way to take down one of these is to throw a Molotov, or aim for it's head.

That's the end of Part 1 of my review, the introduction.

GAMING RUMORS !

2009-05-03T21:16:00.001+08:00

Today on Gaming Rumors ...

Firstly is the X360 and the PS3 controllers , what about them ? Well it seems that the two console giants are planning to make a full body motion controller which means it's like making the a Wii controller version of the 360 and the PS3 and that it's going to be seen on E3 ! Well there's another reason to ditch the mid term test and run to America's E3 !

Second is the not so evil game Overlord which they have just release more juice on it so there is already a trailer and it's most certainly they got this game a sequel .

Third is the new Army of Two sequel's trailer and the sequel to Army of Two is Army of Two : The 40th Day.

Lastly POKEMON is getting more retarded and this is no rumor it's a FACT! :D

Nokia 5320 review

2009-05-03T15:34:00.002+08:00

Firstly, this phone's already aging slowly as it was released in 2008. As this is just my review of the phone it's going to be brief but detailed.

Design: The Nokia 5320 XM sports quite a youthful design that appeals to the eye. Although the keys are a little cramped but once you're used to it you can use it while you're blind-folded. However, the "End Call" button is placed too near to the directed buttons (which caused me to minimize a game once while playing) Overall, the phone design is good but the piano finish isn't my fancy because it's a fingerprint magnet.

Performance:
The Nokia 5320 XM runs most applications quite smoothly. It's using Symbian 60 3rd edition. But unfortunately, the phone tends to crash sometimes when it runs too many applications in the background. The music player is quite responsive most of the time but it crashes as well especially when your headphones are plugged in. Once you remove your headphones, the phone becomes responsive again.

Camera:
Not much can be said of the Nokia 5320 XM's 2.0 Megapixel camera. Picture quality is average. Nokia should have put in a 3.2 Megapixel camera which is quite common in most phones these days.

Music:
As this is an XpressMusic phone, it comes with a 3.5mm audio jack that enables you to use headphones of your choice. Sound quality on the loudspeaker is magnificently crisp and clear, and when you are listening on your headphones the sound is clear as well. However, before i updated my phone with the Nokia Software Updater, the music player made a funny "ticking" sound once any music file was played through the loudspeaker. After updating to v4.13 the sound hasn't appeared anymore.

Web browsing:
Web browsing is quite a pleasure on the Nokia 5320 XM. My only grievance is that opening a new window is not customisable. A new browser window can only be opened once you press a link or a pop-up appears. While viewing webpages, you can zoom in and out of the webpage which is quite handy if you're loading a huge page.

Nokia Say and Play:
This phone's supposed highlight, the Nokia Say and Play feature to find songs through either album title, artist or song name can be quite frustrating at times, especially if you can't really pronounce the artist/album title properly. For instance, i said 周杰伦 and Sean Kingston and Usher came out in the list. However i'm not trying to say that this feature will be 100% wrong because when i said 周杰伦 it was the 1st result. It's just that i don't use this feature often although i'm pretty sure there are people who use it.

Conclusion:
The Nokia 5320 XM is a phone worth buying for great sound quality, value for money and a cool design. It's also the cheapest S60 3rd edition XM phone on the market currently.

Hey guys

2009-05-03T15:30:00.001+08:00

This is TC, a soon-to-be reviewer on PC and Nintendo Wii platforms. My reviews will be coming soon.

PS:GUYS IS IT OKAY TO REVIEW FOOD??? LOL (ANSWER A.S.A.P)

F.E.A.R Review

2009-05-03T11:31:00.001+08:00

ok, i know what you are thinking, the game i'm about to review is really old.But still, it's a nice game and it's not outdated to me.So here goes:

Game Play
Score 8 Alright the game play is pretty tight, You get to use some pretty cool weapons at the beginning. You also get Slowmo a really nice wall to take down a few dozen enemies at once. The game also has health and reflex boosters. Which can make you last a lot longer against those tough army clones who are always trying to kill you! Haha, there are some cool weapons at your disposal too. Just imagine a nail gun but it's shooting a 5inch piece of metal at your enemies!!F.E.A.R can be scary at times, so be ready to see bodys fly through windows or images of dead people poping into your mind at random times. Or even that little girl you may have seen in the comericals...

Story line
Score 5 Um okay...the story line is pretty confusing at the first-fourth interval or so of the game. Even I can't get the story until i played the game 2-3 times.F.E.A.R will keep you on the edge of your chair. The game has points that will make you wet your pants, and parts where you will laugh and still wet your pants. F.E.A.R for the PS3 has bonus features. A new bonus mission that shows what happened to a group of people. And much more.=p

Graphics
Score 6 PC quality Graphics. The only thing I would have wanted out of the graphics was it to be a little better, since the PS3 can make some pretty nice images out of most video games. Also damages to buildings will sometimes disapear too quickly, and dead bodies may disapear quickly too.

Overall Score 8
This game is a great action game. The story line can also be fun and scary. This game is a MUST buy.

(sry that i did not post the picture.My connection is too slow.)

2009-05-02T22:51:00.000+08:00

GAMING RUMORS

2009-05-02T18:38:00.000+08:00

A few rumors have been flying around in gaming sites and forums recently here the few JUICY rumors , it may be true and it may be false most probably I'm not very certain whether it's the truth or the lie but it's definitely something .

First up is Resident Evil 5 what about it? Well Capcom wants to release a PC version of Resident Evil 5 late 2009 , also Capcom wants to make PC versions of their latest hit Street Fighter 4 available to the PC to on July 2009!?

Second up is about Valve and their lawsuit against Activision well it turns out that Valve is going to sue Activision due to underpaid royalties to Valve that is worth about 250,000$ not sure why Activision is getting sued but whatever it is , sure is serious though .

Lastly is the new DLC for Bethesda Softwork's lastest game Fallout 3 named Broken Steel probably another add on to keep loyal Fallout 3 players happy! LOL

LEFT 4 DEAD NEW PATCH DETAILS!

2009-05-02T18:28:00.001+08:00

I know that Left 4 Dead already launched their new patch a week ago but if you did not know about the SURVIVAL mode and the new map Lighthouse you probably are curious to see what's installed in the new PATCH!

1.New mode : SURVIVAL all choke points are banned from entering . A good example is that when there's no choke points it means that you're out in the open and always can be easily targeted by all special zombies , zombies will come in bigger and bigger as time passes by that means if you can survive long enough it will all soon go down fast as tanks spawns faster and faster as times passes by . ( Rumors have it that the tank spawns multiple times at a rate of 15 seconds a second after 10 minutes of game play )
2.Fixed bugs and glitches
3.Dead Air and Death Toll are now versus mode maps

It's a DLC so that means in order to obtain it you'll need to have a STEAM account and a Left 4 Dead Steam ready copy to update and download this exclusive content although there is already pirated copies that allow you to play this DLC but the downside is you'll need to download Left 4 Dead again. WTF?! :D

Midnight Club : Los Angeles (ps3)

2009-05-01T23:58:00.001+08:00

Rockstar has it's upcoming gamed named Midnight Club : Los Angeles...this franchise has been out for the xbox360 and the ps3. Not to be confused with Wangan Midnight :maximum tune 3.This game was the 4th of the Midnight Club franchise.
"I am the almighty driver~~~~"

The story follows while playing as "Mr Nobody".And why did I call him that?Because he HAS no name.Many of the cutscenes are similar to Grand Theft Auto IV and so does the animation.In the first gameplay you get to pick 3 types of cars .The nissan 240x , the Volkswagen Golf GTi , and the Volkswagen sirocoro.All of them were Tuner , Muscle , and Exotic..The game features a HUGE variety of cars and 3 Racing bikes from kawashaki and duggati.

Rockstar has confirmed that the entire map was the REAL map of Los Angeles and Hollywood...NO! NOT BOLLYWOOD!.The graphics was not what i expected and some of the trees look like boxes sometimes.Though the graphics was somewhat like Grand Theft Auto it is infact that Midnight Club runs on a modified engine of GTAIV. Unlike Need For Speed Undercover , It has many civalians walking in and out of the road and VERY realistic considerable traffic. It was dissapointing when you cant bash the fuck out of the civalians on the road because this game was rated 13+.There isn't much swearing though but passive insults were inside of the game. The characters have many colourful personalities , some of them were helpfull and friendly saying "whats up homie?U in for da hood?lets race nigga!" or some will say"Hey slowcoach! get out of ma crib fool!".The anoying part was when your friend kepts calling you nonstop for quest and information you dont wanna know.And it really blocks your radar , that means you cant locate yourself.If u wanna start racing , you have to go to drivers who are crusing in the streets and flash your headlights , then they will race you to that racepoint.Theres even day and night cycle for this map and the climax changes too.Real physics were involved exept the part where you hit a pole or tree you still go through it with a deduction of 5 mph.The roads were Extra skiddy when its raining and the bad part is , theres no smoke coming out from the tired when you do a burnout.

The cars are fully customizeable including the interior.You can pimp your car up with neon , spoilers , write your own numberplate like BEEJ 1337 , car headlights bodies , and paint them with vinyls which make your car fucking sick.In order to unlock cars , you need rep . Rep is obtained from racing street racers or also known as "EXP" to MMORPG players.Rep can be used to unlock body kits , paints , performance parts , and many more . Sadly you can't tune your ride the way you want it.There are few cars which has been taken by game directors and are already modified and also discribed as "DUB edition".

The gameplay controls were a little bit retarded because the right analog stick was used to accelerate but , unlike any other racing games , they let you assign buttons of your own liking.The music tracks were awesome and there were many types of music to be selected to suit your style.There are many types of races like highway sprint , pinkslip races and etc etc.There are no roadblocks or invisible walls like NFS and you have to find your way through the traffic , yellow smoke pops out each time you reach everyone of them to the finish line.Sadly this game dosnt have drag-racing , drift tournaments , and other challenging events experienced on other games . While racing you get to have your own special car abilities like Agro , shockwave , speed breaker , and boost.As example , while equiped with shockwave , go near to your enemies and shock them , giving them an acceleration haywire and cause them to slow down , and agro for smashing cars out of your way . Slipstreams are avalable and also known as drafting and if you stay behind your opponents long enough you will get a free nitrous boost . Although that was unrealistic , it really helps you to catch up with other AIs.To prevent opponents to slipstream you , you can shift your weight and start driving on two wheeles and stop their slipstream.

The enemy AI was extremly challenging and avalable in many types of difficulties.Such as dodging vehicles , smashing you into busses , cornering you ,slipstreaming and many more.The gambling was realistic such as pinkslip races , you cant restart . And the system is foolproof if you off and on your ps3 . Say good bye to your precious car.And you might most likely bang your buck when your house electricity goes off.Online gameplay is also avalable but sadly I havent tried it yet.I had noticed that when you're winning the game just throws alot of traffic at you such as placing 2 busses in front of you . But I dont mean that they spawn in front of you , they just was placed there.In this game , theres even police who wants to shut down street racers just like NFS most wanted , but sadly there's no heat level and the police is more difficult to avoid.You can pull over and pay the parking ticket and You will NEVER go to jail.Or you can escape the cops.The cop evasion system was quite similar to NFS but its just that the police are smarter and faster but theres no heat levels , helicopters , or roadblocks . Its just plain LAPD all the way.

Razer Krait update .

2009-05-01T19:18:00.000+08:00

Hi people , for the people who know me , yes , I've been using a Razer Krait , and I made a review on my blog quite a while ago . It's about two months old , and I'm about to make an updated review on it . Enjoy .

I won't be covering much on what I already did .

First off , the claw-grip . It might or might not suit you , period . To me , it doesn't . See , the claw-like grip on the Krait is mainly purposed for RTS games , which means more accuracy . It's accurate alright , I occasionally missed my targets in Dota , but now with the Krait , I never had . HOWEVER , I'm the FPS gamer , I used to be sniping in CSS , where the Krait really worked well , especially when I'm drag shooting with the AWP , the extra DPI really helped . Still , my skills with other "spraying" weapons sucked , I used to be able to crouch at one spot , avoid all the flashes , and do a quick two-shot burst to someones head once I see them with my old 800dpi mouse that came with my com . Even now , I still can't do that with the Krait , and sensitivity isn't the only issue , it seems that I can't maneuver quick enough yet being on target . My fingers are either too big or too small to wield it Claw-Liked .

My Krait is still performing well , it really helps in RTS games . It just doesn't suit me . I get occasional finger strains after long hours of gaming (around 5-6 hours) especially on my fourth finger . The claw like grip style supports accuracy as mentioned above , but palm-grip would give you more comfort .

MMOG Reviews : SuddenAttackSEA ! By Declan .

2009-05-01T15:54:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wanted to play an FPS game like Counter-Strike , but you just don't want to buy the game ? Well , here's an online alternative , SuddenAttackSEA . It's published by Asiasoft Pte.Ltd ( Yes , the ones who brought you CabalSEA and MapleSEA) And developed by GameHi . It's "SUPPOSEDLY" the number #1 FPS game in Korea...

I've been playing it for awhile , and I'm about to write a review for it , so enjoy...

The game has "OKAY" graphics , it's nothing compared to games like CSS and COD4 though... although the game is free , it has a Cash Shop ... Which spells Doom to free gamers .

First off , gameplay . Gameplay is like any other FPS games that try to replicate Counter Strike . It's smooth , it hardly lags . It has an option for you to enable "blood" , which is rather unrealistic . Oh , and speaking of realism , this game is far from realistic , you could see the projectile of a sniper rifle moving at a rather slow speed , and before it even reaches the target , the target is dead . Oh yeah , your normal walking speed even with a knife is only slightly faster compared to you holding a knife while crouching and walking in Counter Strike.

The rich pwns the poor . With the Cash Shop , any Noob who has money would be able to own big time , seriously . With guns like the AWP and SOCOM16 only available through Cash , it's no wonder you see noobs having gay killstreaks .

The game practices a "Point" system , where you kill someone and get "Points" which is the in-game currency of SA. You start off with an uber high recoil M16 , and an Uzi(Which is also called the water gun...Don't ask why) , along with a grenade , a knife and a Glock .

SA is rather imbalanced too , other than it's oh so unrealistic weaponry(Seriously , they took into account "Ak's having high recoil" too much , that the AK's damage is so uber high , yet all the recoil does is go straight up , seriously , straight up , it's so friggin easy to control ) There are many exciting maps , but most of them are unbalanced , E.G. In a map called "3rd supply base" , Snipers from the blue team would seriously have a nice time sniping off other players , all they have to do is camp .

The pro's
Free to download and play
Barely lags for Malaysians and Singaporeans
Wide variety of weapons
Lots of players

The con's
Unbalanced gameplay
Grainy graphics
Unrealistic movement speed
Rich people own
Strangely addictive...

To conclude , I would only advise you to play this game if you have nothing better to do , or if your local CS server is lagging . Or If you're looking for a game where you could just own people just by spending a little real life currency , or you have an uber pro talent of shooting heads , then I say to you , play this game . If not , go buy Cod4 or something...

RTS gamers

2009-05-01T15:11:00.000+08:00

This post was officially added by CORNMASTER from his blog wtfbbqiztis.blogspot.com as a contribution for this AWESOME blog !

When it comes to playing RTS the people you'll stumble upon are either a friendly one or someone who just wants to OWN you bad! So what kind of RTS gamer are you?

First of all the most common RTS gamer is the turtle gamer this gamer likes to fight units with money . They won't bother to move and neither will he go to you they just stand there with his base all cramp up and when you rush them you'll lose more units than them because them base is probably filled with useless and useful units and tons of turrets . The counter? Artileries and superweapons will kill that cramp minded person and will eventually grant you victory.

Second is the sneaky RTS gamer this gamer will be sneaky , very SNEAKY! They'll use stealth units , cloak units , harrasing units and worst of all they'll blow up your vital points in your base for example say Red Alert 3 if you don't protect your vital buildings say the ore refinary and the construction site it won't be long till you see it sold by your opponent who sends a engineer to rape your economy . The counter? Rush them there's no point in defending agaist the sneaky bastards they'll eventually work a way to get through your defense and besides rushing the sneaky bastards will be cake because most sneaky units can't go frontline like the StarCraft Dark Templars with a UBER damage but a really fragile body.

Third is the thinker whose tactics are unpredictable , the thinkers are great at thinking massivly they'll make thier strategy unpredictable by just spying at his base with scouts and you'll soon find out his strategy when your base is in rubbles . These thinkers are geniuses or insane masterminds they'll be unpredictable and their way of winning is to make you paranoid you'll never know what he'll send to hit you , take Tiberium Wars for example the Nods are known for thier dirt cheap units and the venoms have illusions so whenever you scout thier bases they'll spend a few thousands on fooling you to buy anti airs but instead they are actually doing the opposite of you thus making it your weakness the anti anti airs . The counter? Simply mix your units a mixture of all 3 types anti vehicles , infantry and air but that's not all use guerilla tactics to ensure your big mixed up battalion survives longer because he'll kill the anti types one by one and soon you won't notice you're missing something so do micro your units well.

Fourth is the sidewinder these people find alternatives to taking you down . Rather than assaulting you or ambushing you the sindewinders do something unique either harrasing you to death like the muta-stack in StarCraft or the hit and run twinblade rush in Red Alert 3 these people are not the friendliest people in-game due to thier odd gameplay which makes them a less depending team player so don't expect big guns from them they'll just use small weapons that make big difference. The counter? Use something that kills massive amounts of harrasing units like the Science Vessel's irradiate which kill muta-stacks like eating cake or like Red Alert 3 simply make your base harras proof by placing turrents strategicly.

Lastly is the your worst nightmare the AGGRESOR! These people are insanly aggresive during gameplay only they may be friendly on the outside but when it comes to a friendly 1v1 or a 2v2 these people just can't die . They are masters of micro and macro and a anything goes attitude these people dive into the heap of danger just you make you paranoide and rush you just to make you breathe faster they use guerilla tactics and then rush you with a heap of missle , a few hundreds of artilery shells and then to top it off the cherry on top of a good sundae a big massive imprevious to small guns tank like Company of Heroes's Tiger Ace , the Red Alert 3's Apocalype tank or the insane MOTHER F-er of StarCraft a big bad fully upgraded , fully researched Battlecruiser with a mind whopping 29DPS , 250 EN , and a bad ass armor of 9 makes it uber gay. The counter? Keep pushing him off the ledge ensure you take most of their resources because that's where they get thier power from mindless spending in resources !

So now that you know about the five common people in RTS what kind of RTS gamer are you and your friends? :D

CORNMASTER out! :D

GAMING MOUSE!

2009-05-01T15:09:00.000+08:00

This post was officially added by CORNMASTER from his blog wtfbbqiztis.blogspot.com as a contribution for this AWESOME blog !

Today I'm going to talk about mouse for gaming . First of all why would you spend money on such a high performance mouse? Why not get some cheap desktop mouse ... the answer is simple
1. You don't want a sluggish cursor being dragged around and you definitely want to play much better at games .
2. You want comfort and smooth gliding you don't want some cheap WHAT THE F-! mouse with rubber or some cheap materials below your mouse instead of Teflon coating ( the ones on non-stick frying pans ) giving you some insane traction thus making gaming F-ed up
3. You want a mouse that makes your hand suitable with the mouse like wearing a glove you don't want a glove too big or too small , a glove that is for safety purposes or warming purposes and like a gaming mouse you want a mouse that have a size your hand feel great with and a mouse shape like something you feel good with and comfortable with.

So to choose the right mouse you have to follow the 3 factors of what makes the gaming mouse perfect for you the first is DPI or dot per inch meaning that if it's 2000 DPI it means that it will move faster by how much DPI you have for example let's say a 5 cm drag from point A-B with a 1000 DPI mouse those cheap ones and the 2000 DPI mouse like the common Razers and Steel Series mouses . So the 1000 DPI mouse would take at least half a second with high sensivity and if you don't know that's bad because setting the game sensivity higher does not mean that your DPI is higher it means that it's making your mouse DPI move faster thus making your game skip frames so that it makes your cursor faster but that makes your game get hiccups and making your accuracy on clicking less accurate.

Notice the odd and totally retarded picture that shows what happens to the optic laser when you set your sensivity too high and your DPI is too low it clearly shows that with a wider laser you have better pricision reading for your mouse therefore making gaming easier (it's just a simplified saying for those with a shallow knowledge to understand on how mouse works )

Next is the mouse surface notice that cheap mouse have cheap base just like shoes you need soles to walk better and special soles to play sports or for running purposes . You just don't wear a shoes with the wrong type of soles for the wrong purposes therefore you need a good mouse base which is the 4 - 8 circular or some odd shaped material ( rubber , Teflon or some other stuff ) that is stuck on your mouse and no that's not your leftover food stuck onto it so don't go running for your mom's knife to cut is out . Also do ask to touch , see and feel the mouse surface before buying to ensure you're not getting con-ed into buying fake mouses ( there are fake Razers nowadays just like fake phones )

Lastly there's the body of the mouse just like cars you don't want to drive some boxy looking car or a car with such a cramp body that makes the car interior cramp and tight so first of all is to see how you hold a mouse is it too big ? Can your fingers touch both the left and right and let's not forget about the middle mouse and scroll and you scroll up and down properly and click the middle mosue properly too? If you can do all of this then you're 50% done with the mouse handling test , next is to see how many custom buttons there is , the DPI and the surface of the mouse internal memory for the mouse is not really necessary unless you are constantly using other people's computer or you hate to carry a pendrive containing all your customised options and software to enchance your mouse . So first check how many buttons are there ... Steel series have quite a number of custom buttons compared to Razer due to the fact that Steel series mouse focuses on RTS and RPG games that often times you rather have your favorite skill available on one hand instead of putting an offensive skill and a supportive skill on one place why not have both at the same time by using both mouse and keyboard to perform better . Next is DPI how many DPI does it have do you need so much ? To find out simply play 30 - 60 minutes of 3 of your favorite genre games with the mouse if time is not on your side 5 minutes and will do too , see whether you notice any difference between the mouse you once used to play it and the other mouse you'd never used before on the game that way you can find out whether your basic sensivity matches the way you play the game or the mouse you once used was better or the never used before mouse was better than the previous mouse. Lastly is the surface see whether the mouse you hold is according to your specifications , simply glide the mouse over a smooth surface if it's smooth to you then it's good if it's not that smooth but the other stuffs matches you perfectly then get a gaming pad for better glides or faster glides depending on what mouse pad you choose to glide your mouse on.

That's all on my little guide on gaming mouses I hope whatever you read here helps if not then it's not my fault so I recommend going to some other site to find out about getting a good mouse and also all pictures here are stolen except the ugly graph on top the rest are taken without permission but all credits goes to them . HAVE FUN AND HAVE GREAT FRAG SCORES with gaming mouses! :D

Razer lycosa mirror review

2009-05-01T11:59:00.000+08:00

Razer introduces the new Lycosa Mirror and Arctosa keyboard for gamers. The Razer Lycosa
Mirror features high gloss mirror finish keytop and anti-ghosting around the WASD gaming cluster to allow more commands to be entered at any one time without the signal failure. It has also Hyperesponse keys for reducing key latency and maximize response.

The Razer Lycosa came in simple packaging, without any excess amounts of plastic. It made a nice change and despite the lack of plastic packaging, it was nicely presented and felt very well protected inside it. Opening up, the good presentation continued with a protective piece of cardboard over the top of the keyboard and a paper pouch containing a "Certificate of Authenticity", some Razer stickers, quick start guide, "Master Guide", driver CD, product catalog and a cleaning cloth - which would later turn out to be essential.(oh and I already used the stickers)

I took the keyboard out and was instantly impressed by its immaculate shiny piano black surface. I instantly noticed that the keyboard didn't just have a single USB cable, but two, as well as microphone and stereo jacks, allowing you to plug a USB device, microphone or earphones directly in to the keyboard. I think this is a good feature to have as earphone wires are rarely long enough to reach an available stereo jack on the computer.But my speakers already had them.

One of the things I dislike most about keyboards is the placement of loads of additional keys, so the first thing I liked about the Razer Lycosa is its simple layout. They low-profile keys feel soft to the touch and have a nice blue glow behind them. The top right of the Lycosa features "Touchpanel media keys", which respond to the lightest touch. These include your basic play, pause, stop, forward and back media keys, as well as two for the volume, the Razer logo (more on that in a minute) and a key for changing the backlight setting. The backlight key does what you'd expect - it allows you to cycle the backlight between on, off and "WASD", which lights just those four keys.And i noticed there's a dim light on Q W E R F v Z X C 1 2 3 4 5 shitft ctrl and tab
I guess those are for gaming perposes 'cos' usually , your equipment , your kinfe and etc etc are around there too.
'can you see it?'

The Razer logo acts as a kind of activation key for the advanced features of the keyboard. Touch the logo in combination with one of the function keys and it changes the profile. Touch it in combination with the Windows key, and the Windows key is disabled, preventing you from accidentally hitting it while scrambling for Ctrl or Alt. The only downside here is that there is no indication that it is disabled, other than it not working - it'd be nice if the backlight behind the Windows keys turned off as well.
In games the Razer feels very responsive with a 1ms response time, thanks to "1000hz Ultrapolling", and the detachable wrist rest feels perfect for games as it slants up to the keyboard very gently. I could find no instructions in either of the two guides on how to remove the wrist rest, however it appears to be done by removing four screws in the base of the keyboard.

Unfortunately, the Razer Lycosa Mirror seems to fall a little when it comes to general typing. While the keys feel soft to the touch and are very responsive and light, the travel on them is a bit too short for me. The caps, num and scroll lock lights also start to become a little annoying when glancing down at the keyboard as they are very bright, even in a lighted room. The corners of the plastic feel a bit rough and sharp too, spoiling what is otherwise a very well polished keyboard.

The Razer driver control software, which allows the creation of profiles and macro keys, is excellent. You are allowed up to 10 profiles, which correspond to the relevant function key on the top of the keyboard when pressed in combination with the Razer logo. Profiles can also be assigned an exe so that the keyboard automatically switches to the relevant profile. So if I set a profile to use 'photoshop.exe', whenever I open Photoshop the keyboard automatically switches to that profile.

Macros are created by clicking a key on the picture of the keyboard, which opens a special panel for editing the macro. You can assign keystrokes, commands such as copy and paste, or simply set it up to launch a program. The interface for macros seems a little daunting at first but quickly feels familiar and easy to use. The software feels really quite powerful and seems to unlock a lot of hidden potential.

The only other problem with the Lycosa Mirror is the same thing that makes it so attractive - the glossy black finish. It is a magnet for finger and hand prints, which explains the included cleaning cloth.

Overall the Razer Lycosa Mirror Special Edition feels like a very polished keyboard. However, some things let it down such as sharp edges and I notice inside the keys the LED glows had an X sign inside of it and I dont really give a shit but I can still live with that

Razer's motto of "For Gamers. By Gamers" definitely applies to this keyboard.

Resident evil 5 review

2009-04-30T13:49:00.000+08:00

Change can be a painful process. Just ask one of the unfortunate citizens of Kijuju, the fictional region of Africa that serves as the setting of Resident Evil 5, the latest entry in Capcom's ongoing zombie videogame saga. A power-mad corporation's evolutionary manipulations have caused a biological disaster that turns people into mindless hosts for a military-grade parasitic infection. And you thought the Bird Flu was nasty.

The citizens of Kijuju are going through some ugly changes, many of which involve tentacles, oozing eyeballs and heretofore unexplored bloodlust. And, as is the custom in a Resident Evil game, you drop into the situation woefully underprepared for what awaits. The resulting experience is an intense, action-packed adventure replete with satisfying combat, tight gameplay and gorgeous, well-crafted environments. Resident Evil 5 offers all those things and then some, but it doesn't do many of the things longtime fans of the series expect. It won't scare you. It won't fill you with creeping desperation. It won't have you collecting and counting bullets like they're precious stones. It won't, in essence, make you feel like you're playing a traditional Resident Evil game.

Like the story it's trying to tell, Resident Evil 5 is all about evolution. Capcom has gone out on a limb with the latest numbered sequel in its long-running survival horror franchise, and although one of your goals as a player is to survive the horrors around you, this entry in the series is a radical departure from the genre Capcom helped create near Raccoon City more than a decade ago

You'll start out the game as Chris Redfield, who fans will remember as one of the co-stars of the original Resident Evil. But Chris is no lone wolf. Joining him on his mission is Sheva Alomar, an African national and bioweapons expert. Both Chris and Sheva are members of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, a global outfit tasked with preventing the proliferation of "biological organic weapons."
"I'll follow you~~I'll follow you wherever u go~~(digi add)"

his time around, it's Sheva who has Chris's back, and she'll be with you every step of the way, whether you go it alone or recruit a friend to play along. On your first playthrough you're stuck with the beefy Chris, whose bulging biceps and gigantic torso make Street Fighter IV's Ken look like a stick figure. Once you complete the game, you unlock the ability to play single-player as the more compact Sheva, who can handle herself and just about everything else. Another thing that skilled gamers hate was Sheva's AI , the bot continiously spams bullets at the zombies. Not at the head but at the chest!.Its difficult to even shoot them in the head and punch them in the face one by one when she kept KS-ing you.

As many of u know Resident evil 4's cows can attack when they get pissed , but in RE5 chickens could attack you for no reason. I mean like , its unlogical right? At least the attacking cows makes sense , but this?? i dont think so .

here are several scenes in RE5 where the more acrobatic Sheva will need to part ways with Chris to reach hard-to-access areas. It's a cool nod to the co-op nature of the game, but I felt Capcom could have gone farther with the concept. There are no moments when you truly feel separated from your partner, which could have upped the fear factor significantly. Part of the horror of past RE games lay in the cramped isolation of knowing you were all alone in a dark corridor. But here, you're never truly on your own, as Sheva is always at your side.

The graphics was the best i've ever seen , I'm sure that u guys know crysis and its realistic graphics.And RE5 has just the perfect match to crysis in high detail mode.The engine is remarkable , the PS3's GPU has 256mb ddr3 memory and the engine could even process graphics that are as good as crysis .Even the graphics on my computer on crysis were experiencing lag (my graphic card was 256mb ddr3 8600gt XFX same as the GPU on my ps3)
and just imagine the price of that ps3 , rm 1.4k++ with that money u could get nothing but a shit computer while u can get a ps3 .
"capcom did a really good job at the graphics engine , rumours says that its a modified engine of Devil May Cry 4"

The A.I. does a good job of recognizing when melee attacks are both advisable and effective, but you'll get the most bang for your buck when you're playing online. It's quite satisfying to work as a team to pull off impressive weapon-and-melee combos, and this teamwork approach carries over to the boss battles, too. Like every aspect of RE5, the bosses and mini-bosses (including the dreaded Chainsaw Majini) are best tackled with a partner.
"RAPE ME!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!~~"

Many of the boss battles involve quick-time events that require you to alternate between firing your weapons at an enemy and quickly pressing buttons at a specified time. Some of these mega-fights, like the one with the giant troll-like creature who wears a belt of dead people, are a real adrenaline rush. Others, like an early fight with a monster that needs to be burned in an incinerator, are more of an ode to past RE games where beating a boss was often equal parts puzzle solving and shooting.

With Resident Evil 5, Capcom has broken away from many of the survival horror conventions it pioneered. The creepy suspense of the earlier games has been replaced with an action-packed intensity that will instantly appeal to some gamers and disappoint others. As an action game, RE5 is a success, and there’s a wealth of replayability through item collection, weapon upgrades, score chasing and the unlockable Mercenaries mode. But this is no gentle nudge to the formula of the previous main RE games; it’s an evolution. And if you can accept it as that, you just might love Resident Evil 5.

8.0	Presentation RE5 has a slick look and feel, but there are some usability issues. Split-screen is confusing to use, menus can be somewhat cumbersome and loading is abundant.
9.5	Graphics One of the prettiest games of this generation. Lighting, textures and landscapes are often stunning. There’s some screen tearing here and there, but it’s minor. Enemy animations quickly grow stale.
9.0	Sound Music is understated but sets the tone well, especially the nerve-jangling song that plays when enemies approach. Voice acting for most characters is surprisingly good, but some is just terrible.
8.5	Gameplay What RE5 lacks in standard survival horror it makes up for in action-packed combat, satisfying on-rails segments and killer final chapter. Controls are beginning to feel dated for an action game.
9.0	Lasting Appeal For a game with no competitive online multiplayer, RE5 has incredible replayability. Beating the game in various ways unlocks modes and features, and Mercenaries will keep you coming back for more.
9.0 Outstanding	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
