However, I've still been following IGN religiously and was delighted to see good reviews of a game where you basically play as a goat and get to destroy the hell out of a city. Sounds exactly like my kinda game. So I downloaded it, and obviously loved it. <div>

Goats are fascinating creatures. They're cute, unpredictable and pretty delicious so what's not to love about playing a game as one. Unfortunately this review will have to wait because the moment I saw the photo below about PewDiePie's quote about the game, I went straight to his blog to see a video of him playing it and just realized that they've come out with a patch. So, for now, I'm downloading the patch and playing. </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Okay, so here goes. I've never been very into Sci-fi flicks ( unless they had a horror/thriller element ) but Europa Report was definitely an exception. This is a found footage film, which tells us the story of the first manned mission to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons which is believed to have immense oceans beneath its icy surface and possibly, extraterrestrial life. Now, the fact is that Europa has a surface of ice and its atmosphere primarily contains oxygen and other potential raw materials of life. Scientists have even suggested hypothetical models that make it possible for Europa’s oceans to support complex life forms so we know that the movie has chosen a realistic possibility for its storyline.<br />
<br />
Okay, getting back to the movie.<br />
<br />
A six person crew is sent on a 3 year mission to Europa but we know from the start that their voyage was doomed. There are cameras everywhere in the ship - Europa One, to allow people on Earth follow the mission’s progress. Around nine months into the flight, the ship loses communications with Earth. Despite this setback, the international team of six astronauts continues their mission to search for evidence of life in the solar system and slowly, things go wrong one by one. By the end of the film, communication with Earth is restored and all the footage of the missing months is recovered too. The film represents the accumulation of all those lost months of footage. How the mission went wrong is told using this footage, edited and narrated by the ground commander. Once they touch down on Europa, strange things begin happening outside.<br />
<br />
The film is chronologically out of order, making it a little confusing and for a while there’s misdirection regarding whether certain characters are alive or dead.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To make the film as realistic as possible, its team asked two scientists working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to consult during production and post-production of the film. That's not all, the filmmakers even used footage from NASA's Juno launch to Jupiter as a stand-in for the launch of Europa 1. The science blog io9 called it the most painstakingly accurate space movie they've seen in ages (<a href="http://io9.com/europa-report-at-last-a-space-thriller-worth-taking-s-493192948">http://io9.com/europa-report-at-last-a-space-thriller-worth-taking-s-493192948</a>)<br />

In this movie, she plays the antithesis of what she's famous for, looking virtually unrecognizable thanks to stellar makeup and good acting that transform her into Pauline. She plays an unattractive teenage outcast with psychological issues associated with her family and a fetish for death, blood and surgery (because of her desire to become a surgeon, hence the title Excision) coupled with teenage issues like wanting to lose her virginity and stuff.<br />

<br />
A somewhat gory film set in a high school setup, Excision is a dark and bloody film about a teenager who does not want to be like the rest of her peers and is pretty comfortable about it. She does, however, know that she has psychological issues and is practically screaming at the top of her lungs for psychological help. She even asks her parents to take her to a psychiatrist but her prissy mother takes her to the priest instead. When I speak of Excision, I say somewhat gory because I have a penchant for gory movies and I have also played lots of video games of the same nature so this one doesn't have too heavy a dose, but that's according to my standards.<br />

<br />
She has a terrible relation with her religious and controlling mother, who makes things even more difficult for her by constantly nagging her and forcing her to be her idea of the ideal daughter while her father is oblivious to her mother's attitude towards her. Besides this, her antisocial attitude coupled with her desire to provoke a reaction from her classmates, teachers and parents all leave her disliked. She is surprisingly witty at times and the film does make you laugh at times, sometimes even feeling really happy when Pauline has things her way in the otherwise dark story line Besides her self proclaimed sociopathic behavior she does, however, adore her dying younger sister, Grace, who is clearly her parents’ favorite. The problem is that Grace has cystic fibrosis, and is becoming more ill by the day. After researching her condition, Pauline becomes determined to take any extreme measure to save her little sister.<br />

Every now and then, the film takes you into Pauline's dreams, showing you her blood-drenched and outrageous fantasies that involve necrophilia, guts, corpses and surgery. There's no commentary; but the fantastical imagery and stunning videography, take you into her deranged mind until the abysmal conclusion of the film steals your breath away, showing a much deeper side to her personality and her issues. <br />
This isn’t the kind of story that’s told very often, and according to me it’s a hell of a piece of work. If you can handle weirdness and have a strong stomach, go for it!<br />

To be honest, I haven't really been playing anything for a couple of months now. The last game I finished was Costume Quest, an addictive and childish game based on Halloween and Trick or Treating so I am not gonna review it. However, I did watch a superb horror movie last week and I'm pretty sure it won't really appeal to the fashionistas who read my other blog so I'm posting about it here. This is one more of the found footage films and they don't really appeal to me much (the same way FPS shooters don't) but then there is always an exception. To love horror movies is to live a life searching for a fix like your first highs and rarely getting it. Thankfully V/H/S gave me a well deserved fix!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The film is presented as an anthology of short horror films which are linked by the concept of found footage. A group of petty criminals videotape their exploits and selling the resultant footage online as reality porn. When they are hired by an anonymous third party to retrieve a tape with some rare found footage from a deserted house in the middle of nowhere, they eagerly lap up the offer in exchange for a large sum of money.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Uq88URBjXvJEie-Joqs5XjqsnBXtvoTU6rnqlESaP50OhWZ2wyq5jiL1ANibg-nENLWeRqpi5RxzkgFesVZk6uL1zAydPPkAZ6eUNvSabO9aHvrvpk7uuSiOO_ShMK_y4NUQp8HltjRf/s1600/v_h_s_featurette_sneak_peak.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Uq88URBjXvJEie-Joqs5XjqsnBXtvoTU6rnqlESaP50OhWZ2wyq5jiL1ANibg-nENLWeRqpi5RxzkgFesVZk6uL1zAydPPkAZ6eUNvSabO9aHvrvpk7uuSiOO_ShMK_y4NUQp8HltjRf/s640/v_h_s_featurette_sneak_peak.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So they break into the house, they find the sole occupant- an old man- dead in front of a bunch of television sets playing white noise. When they start exploring the house, the criminals quickly discover hordes of unmarked VHS tapes and start collecting them all to make sure they retrieve the right one. Meanwhile, one of the them stays behind in the room with the old man's body and starts to watch the VHS tape left in the VCR. The contents of the tape and subsequent videos put into the player comprise the bulk of the film and this is when the fun begins. Each video they watch is stranger than the last and will surely cause great pleasure to any horror movie buff. Each tape they watch is a short film by a different horror director.<br />

<br />
When I heard that this movie had been screened at the world-renowned Sundance Film Festival, I hoped it would be worth it. But then when I read that two people (one was man!) fainted during the screening I said a little secret prayer to myself hoping it would be EPIC. Read more about the incident <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2094187/V-H-S-horror-movie-Sundance-Film-Festivals-graphic-scenes-audiences-SICK.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I just read that a sequel which is being called S-VHS is already on its way and will be out in 2013! The lineup of directors of the sequel is pretty impressive as it consists of horror movie masters including the likes of Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project), Jason Eisener (Hobo With a Shotgun), Adam Wingard (You're Next) and many more. Lets wait for this one and hope its badder, bigger and weirder than the first!<br />

As I watched the trailer just now, I felt a surge of endorphin induced goosebumps and an immense desire to watch it again! Oh, and by the way, to add to the fun, I watched this movie all alone at home, way past midnight ;) You should do the same!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is no secret that I love horror, gore and zombies. Throw in a drama and I'm sold. The Walking Dead is a mind blowing post zombie apocalypse show that airs on AMC which is based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
It starts off with a sheriff's deputy who wakes up from a coma to see that the world has come to a standstill with no human life around. To his horror, it is inhabited by blood thirsty zombies that infect a person with one bite. The story takes place in the Atlanta metropolitan area, where the few human survivors are now looking for a safe place from the hordes of zombies.<br />

Besides gripping action sequences and an intense story line which focus on human relationships, the show also boasts of incredible acting and superb direction. The show has also been critically acclaimed with a Writers Guild of America Award nomination and a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Television Series Drama. The series has also attained strong Nielsen ratings, beating various records for a cable series, including receiving 9 million viewers for its season two finale to become the most-watched basic cable drama telecast in history.<br />

When I started watching it, I was so hooked that I would just watch back to back episodes till sunrise just to know what happens next. I've already recommended to friends and family, and now I request you to just watch the pilot.

Game story lines are getting more and more over the top, I'm not complaining. First there was the hilarious Saints Row The Third and now we have Lollipop Chainsaw. In Lollipop Chainsaw is an upcoming action video game being developed by Grasshopper Manufacture for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. You play Juliet Sterling, a student at San Romero High who has to deal with a bunch of zombies that show up at her school on her 18th birthday. Zombies flood the classrooms, locker halls, and corridors in a typical high school setting.<br />
<br />
Dont worry though, because our heroine is a cheerleader and the descendant of a long line of zombie hunters, and is well-equipped to handle the situation with a powerful chainsaw as her main weapon. Being the stereotypical cheerleader, she loves cute things like lollilpops and the color is pink. Heck, even her chainsaw bears a pink heart motif. Juliet has a notable habit of swearing frequently during her fights, such as when she referred to a zombie as an "undead douchebag" and later calling another zombie a "fatass." How cute, right?<br />
<br />
Now lets make it weird. She carries with her the severed yet still living head of her boyfriend Nick, who she decapitated after he suffered a zombie bite. And he talks to you time to time to give you company. The enemy zombies are led by "a group of zombie rock and roll lords". Supposedly, the zombie outbreak has been caused by Juliet's former classmate, an evil goth sorcerer named Swan.<br />
<br />
I'm super fascinated by this game and since its hack and slash. I know I would love it. I really hope it comes out for pc too!!<br />
<br />
<b>Here's a dialogue from the script -</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Juliet</b>: "Do you want to have babies someday, Nick?"<br />
<b>Nick</b>: "I think that's rather irrelevant, considering my situation."<br />
<b>Juliet</b>: "We could take a skin sample and put it in a petri dish and use magic to GROW a baby!"<br />
<b>Nick</b>: "Well, maybe."<br />
<br />

Alice: Madness Returns is a third-person action-adventure game created by American McGee and developed by his studio Spicy Horse and published by Electronic Arts. Based on the popular Alice in Wonderland, this game is a sequel to his game American McGee's Alice which released in the 2000. Fast forward by 11 years, and Madness Returns finds the our troubled heroine struggling against a dark force that is destroying her sanity and her Wonderland. A fire at her home had killed her parents and sister, leaving both her mind and her imagined Wonderland shattered. As she journeys through her own head filled with trauma, she reclaims lost memories and finds the truth behind the fire that killed her family and led to her becoming a resident of Rutledge Insane Asylum.<br />

In the previous game Alice Liddell becomes insane, believing herself responsible for a fire that consumed her home and her family, escaping into a twisted version of Wonderland in her head. Eventually she triumphed over the evil Red Queen and her own madness, but that victory was temporary as she finds herself in the Insanitaruim once again in this installment of the game. Alice is still under medical care, struggling to remember the circumstances that led to her family's horrific end. Her psychiatrist urges her to forget her past, insisting that doing so is the only way to wellness. Yet forgetting proves to be difficult, and soon Alice finds herself once again lost in her imagination, where Wonderland lies in ruin and she must save it to save herself.<br />

American McGee deserves respect for his wonderful imagination and fantastic game design. Inspired by the<br />
Lewis Caroll's children's adventure Through the Looking-Glass, the biggest strength of this game is its version of a dark and twisted Wonderland, which is enveloped in madness. The deteriorating Wonderland has a number of stunning destinations, which show fantastic creativity and very warped (in a good way) imagination. Each of the game's chapters paints a mesmerizing and peculiar set of wonders, based on themes from Carolls' books well blended with touches of horror elements and goth culture. The game starts with a beautiful enchanted forest which eventually takes you to a frozen world (aptly named Tundraful) which further takes you to an underwater land. Later, there are more fabulous and artistic levels such as a beautifully designed Oriental level and one called Cardbrige, a level where you are up in the sky with playing cards scattered around for you to jump on. Overall, the visuals are stunning and I can assure you that no game has ever taken you to places like this game does.<br />

Alice's mind is a dark place indeed, and in this long-awaited sequel, creative and creepy visuals give this action platformer a twisted and surreal vibe, drawing you into a land inhabited by fire-breathing doll babies and squirming leeches. Each chapter explores a different visual theme, some of them impossible to describe in a few simple words. Alice's clothing changes from chapter to chapter, and her flowery prints and blood-red fabrics subtly match the level art. Wonderland is not the only place you explore, however. At the start of each chapter, you wander about an increasingly morose London. This vision of that city is more grubby and industrial than even Carroll's contemporary Charles Dickens conjured, drained of color and inhabited by impossibly wrinkled old crones and filthy fishermen.<br />

<br />
Like its predecessor, Alice: Madness Returns' focus is mainly on its platforming, which the game features in spades. Moving platforms, mushroom platforms you'll bounce off of, platforms you'll glide off of as you descend towards another platform, or riding steam vents that keep Alice afloat. There area a few spots where the game's camera will shift suddenly to an undesirable angle and make you focus on all its glitches.<br />

Despite core gamplay of platforming and combat being solid and even fun, the game pauses at bizarre times <span style="background-color: white;">to load data</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">sometimes at surprising length, and game play is very repetitive. The game tries to break up the platforming with a number of mini-games with varying levels of success. Some, like stomping around a castle as a giant or navigating a two-dimensional Alice through Japanese scroll art, are refreshing and fun. But even those are repeated multiple times in one level, that first instance of joy soon giving way to wondering aloud why you're doing more of the same for the third time in a chapter. Other mini-games like sliding puzzles, chess puzzles, and childish button-pressing rhythm games are plain annoying.</span><br />

Alice: Madness Returns is a fun but thoroughly ordinary game that takes place in an extraordinary setting.<br />
In spite of technical faults, I quite enjoyed Alice: Madness Returns, predominantly because of the strange, grotesque and enchanting Wonderland as imagined by your insane protagonist. Fans of the original Alice will find plenty of here to love, and will certainly want to return to Wonderland to work towards a satisfying narrative conclusion.When Madness Returns is at the top of its formula, it is a fascinatingly dark and grotesque psychological tale which is surprisingly quite difficult to play because you keep falling of ledges and mushrooms in mid air. You'll know what I mean when you play it. I'd suggest you to give it a shot if you love fantasy, adventure and psychedelica. Its quite a surreal set up I must say!</div>Junehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12298044855927023026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437024623220455157.post-20784381127263689432012-02-29T12:34:00.000+05:302012-02-29T12:35:52.923+05:30Saints Row The Third<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

</div>
What do you call a game which has no depth in story, no challenging combat, is completely unrealistic though is set in the present day and yet and yet is loads of fun? Saints Row The Third. You don't have to fight evil, you don't have to save the world, and you don't have to play the previous two games this franchise to enjoy this one. This one gives you outrageous weapons, and awesome vehicles in an open-world setting similar to GTA but its just way ahead of the Grand Theft Auto Series because not only are you stealing cars and ruling a crime gang, you're also doing crazy stuff like running around naked on a streaking mission, driving around town with a tiger as your co passenger, hitting people with a weapon which looks like a dildo cum baseball bat (Damn, too many puns) and throwing around mind-controlling octopi on rival gang members. When you just want to indulge in some mindless violence and insanity, this game is perfect.<br />

<span style="line-height: 22px;">Character customization plays a big part in the entire game, from your body to your dress to your vehicles. You can look like a glamorous goddess or a giant sumo wrestler. Its up to you. Customization is extremely flexible, giving you the choice to create whatever you what. And when I say that, I mean you can make a bombshell with a beard or a mean-looking man who sounds like a woman from Eastern Europe. Seeing a man in a sexy cowgirl outfit or a woman wearing a giant Johnny Gat head in cutscenes in which everyone treats him or her as a respected gang boss is hilarious. And if you get bored with your character's current appearance, voice, or outfit, plastic surgery and clothing from the varied boutiques of Steelport cost a pittance, so you can reinvent yourself as often as you please.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 22px;">From the moment you arrive in Steelport, you have an assortment of vehicles to steal as well as a tremendous list of challenges you can strive to complete or ignore. Many of these reward you for doing things that you might want to do for fun anyway, like streaking, vehicle surfing, driving in oncoming traffic, catching big air in cars, doing wheelies or stoppies on motorcycles, nailing basejumps, killing people in those creepy mascot outfits, and much, much more. Everything from near collisions while driving to running down the street naked earns you respect. And remember, Steelport is all about RESPECT! Respect also gives you a host of upgrades like health increases, combat abilities, the option to recruit more gang members to follow you around, and much more.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 22px;">Optional activities all over Steelport boost your street cred and earn you cash.

Before the credits roll you'll catsit a tiger, play a hilarious text adventure, get a sex change, hack up Mexican wrestlers with a chainsaw, visit a Tron-like computer world, and participate in many other ridiculous leisure activities.

By completing certain story missions you gain access to badass vehicles like a transforming hover jet and a pixilated retro-game tank. In the spirit of staying out of the way of the player's good time, Saints Row 3 gives you an infinite supply of these recreational vehicles in your cribs. So grab an F-69 VTOL hover jet, take it joy riding, crash it, then go home and grab another. As many times as you want. Or, you can have it delivered right to you, wherever you are. Amazing.<br />

Saints Row: The Third is an open world adult theme park where we can treat ourselves to delightful acts of bloodshed and perversion. Whether you're buying up property to increase your hourly income, cruising the city in your favorite vehicle to collect photo ops, drug packages, and sex dolls, or punching people to bits with a crazy giant boxing glove - the apocafist, there's rarely a dull moment. Saints Row: The Third succeeds tremendously at delivering its unique brand of raunchy, outrageous fun. If you have an appetite for this kind of absurdity, like I do, you won't be disappointed.</div>Junehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12298044855927023026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437024623220455157.post-32664925224805835282012-01-31T16:58:00.000+05:302012-01-31T16:58:10.533+05:30Bastion<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Let me give you a statement which has all my favorite elements of a video game. Bastion is a 3rd person action role playing arcade style hack and slash game. What's more? Fantastic graphics, a dynamic narrator who literally narrates everything as you do it and a very awesome soundtrack.<br />
<br />
Bastion is a charming-looking game with cute looking manga style characters which are positioned in a sad sad world where all has gone wrong, as you can see from the screen shots below.The visual style of the game is very different from anything I've ever played before as your world literally appears in front of you tile by tile as you walk further, revealing a lot of interesting backgrounds and environment designs.

In Bastion, you play the story of a silent protagonist called "The Kid". The Kid has slept right through the Calamity, a catastrophic event that has destroyed his land of Caelondia and its surrounding areas. You awaken as "the Kid," and your mission is to restore the Bastion. To do so, you need to go into levels and collect shards, while unraveling more truths about the Calamity and your life.<br />

Bastion is a solid action-RPG that is put over the edge by its unique and entrancing concept. It's a fun game, but it would've had trouble standing apart from the crowd, even with its unique features. When you add in the awesome use of narration, the game becomes much more than the sum of its parts. Bastion manages to be engrossing from beginning to end. It's well paced, well executed and fun to play, and it's hard not to get more curious about what comes next.<br />

Can a video game make you cry?<br />
I would have never dreamed I would be saying this but yes, do keep tissues handy while playing this one.<br />
To the Moon is an indie game which does not have awesome graphics, epic action sequences, fast paced combat or mind bogging puzzles but what it does have is a lovely, touching and emotional story which will make you think about life.<br />
<br />
I always like to read reviews of games before I play them and a certain review I read spoke of how emotional and moving it is and it touches your heart. I really wondered how it was possible for a game to do so and decided to give this game a shot.<br />
<br />
What was the result? I played it non stop for about 4 and a half hours from the starting till the end. A little after halfway through the game, I felt nothing as I read in all those review and started thinking 'Maybe I have a heart of stone'. Precisely 10 minutes later, here I was sitting in front of my computer screen sobbing like a child.<br />

<br />
To the moon is more like an interactive story, which revolves around the life of Johnny, an old man on his death bed who has one last wish : to go to the moon. The game is based on a sci-fi technology where one can access the memories of others, and alter these memories to change the course of a person's life as they perceive it. The player is a scientist working in an organisation called the Sigmund Corporation which lets dying people fulfil their life long wish through accessing their memories. The game starts off with Dr. Eva Rosalind and Dr. Neil Watts are assigned to Johnny, a widowed man living through his final moments, tasked with infiltrating his mind and replacing existing memories with artificial ones, thus granting their client a realistic illusion and providing him the ability to see out his dying wish, a trip to the moon. who have been contacted by John and embark on fulfilling his wish.<br />
<br />
With no knowledge of why your client wished to visit the moon, the game makes you travel slowly back through his life, by accessing his memories and unravelling his life's story in reverse. As John's story is told in reverse the game impresses you with creator Kan Gao's excellence in story telling and music composition. Moreover, the game's beautifully composed original soundtrack is present at every shift in tone to help keep you engaged in the story. From the melody that greets you in the game's opening moments to the thoughtful, now familiar notes that bring the story to its conclusion, the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack fits in perfectly with the story and is a strong factor in helping the game create an impact on the player's mind.<br />

<br />
To conclude, 'To the Moon' is a masterpiece of a story that allows you to travel through the life of an elderly man and I gives you the privilege to relive all the joy, trials, and tragedies that were hidden deep within his memories. It explores a human concept -- the dying wish -- and invites you to come along. All I can say is, don't miss this one.</div>Junehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12298044855927023026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437024623220455157.post-10998981571198888912011-12-28T15:39:00.000+05:302012-01-31T15:36:47.930+05:307 Sins<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Every once in a while, I enjoy a sleazy game. 7 Sins by French developers Montecristo happened to be just one of them. In this game, the player must get to the top of the social ladder in the fictional Apple City. Throughout the game the player makes decisions based on pride, wrath, greed, envy, lust, sloth and gluttony with the main aim of making it big in Apple City. He needs to impress females (and occasionally males) and sleep your way to the top. In the end, you'll earn money and respect and become the biggest player in town. You'll start off working in a clothes shop, but soon you'll be working for TV or crash at SM parties. and make decisions related to the seven deadly sins. <br />

The game has a lot of conversations that need to be carried out for relationship building and to progress in a conversation, you just have to choose a line for the next subject or action. It's your job to find out which subjects interest the ladies and use them to improve your relationship and achieve your goals.<br />
While interacting with people, you'll need to keep an eye on four bars: the amount of sins you've committed, the temperature in your pants and your stress and frustration level. When one of them is full, your man will freak out and run away, so keep them low.<br />
<br />
Throughout the game's seven chapters, the player's character must use interpersonal skills to charm, intimidate, and otherwise manipulate key residents of Apple City. By building relationships with these NPCs, players gain important information and access to new contacts, allowing them to network up the ladder of celebrity and gain even more power and influence. And most relationships in this game are built by banging the characters. Pardon my language BUT I TOLD YOU ITS A SLEAZY GAME. Once a relationship has been built new missions are unlocked.<br />

The main element of the game is a bunch of mini games, associated with each sin. Most of them are hilarious. Where anger often involves a minigame to kill small animals which our character hates, gluttony involves eating like a pig and then trying to control yourself from puking while you head to the restroom, wrath involves peeing on bugs on the toilet pot with presicion and so on. There is even one to control the player's libido where you must look up a woman's skirt or cleavage and keep your aim up there for 30 seconds. Mind you, this game is definitely for adults only though it does not have any nudity. If you have a sense of humor, you will enjoy this game!<br />

Okay, now I must say writing two blogs at the same time while sitting in office is not easy. Especially cas suddenly at the end of the year, I have a lot of office work to complete. But I got fed up of not updating my blog so here goes a little post about Bioshock. One more of the rare FPS games that I liked is Bioshock. This game was developed by 2K Boston (now known as Irrational Games) and thanks to its unique concept, setting and environment it became an iconic bestseller in no time. The game also boasts of fantastic graphics and is a spiritual successor of System Shock 2.<br />
<br />
Set in an alternate 1960, you start of as a plane crash survivor named Jack, and must explore the underwater city of Rapture. The player takes the role of Jack, who aims to fight his way through Rapture, using weapons and plasmids (genetic alterations), in order to complete objectives. Now Rapture is this really cool futuristic underwater city which was flourishing till the health plasmids (which would give you superpowers) turned most of the residents into mutants. But mind you, these aren't space age alien like mutants. Thanks to the 60s settings, these beings, known as the splicers, are all dressed up, you guessed it, like people in the 60s!<br />

<br />
The cutest part of the game is the Little Sisters. Little Sisters (originally named as Gatherers) are young girls who have been genetically altered and mentally conditioned to reclaim ADAM from the corpses around Rapture. Little Sisters are almost always accompanied by a Big Daddy. They are almost completely immune to damage and have no offensive abilities. Attacking them, however, will incur the wrath of their protectors.<br />
<br />

<br />
Plasmids can be collected at certain specific points around the city throughout the storyline, but most often are purchased by the player at "Gatherer's Gardens" using the ADAM mutagen they have collected from Little Sisters. In order to collect the ADAM, the player must first defeat the "Big Daddy"—genetically enhanced humans grafted to an armored diving suit—that accompanies and guards each Little Sister. After this, the player has a moral choice: either to kill the Little Sister to harvest a great deal of ADAM, or to save the Little Sister and gain a smaller amount, though for every three sisters spared a gift of a large amount of ADAM is given to the player. While both choices have their advantages, this element of conflicting morals has an impact on the storyline, and, among other things, on the difficulty of the game itself.<br />

<br />
Three endings are possible depending on how the player interacted with the Little Sisters, all narrated by Dr. Tenenbaum. If the player has rescued all the Little Sisters, the ending shows five Little Sisters returning to the surface with Jack and living full lives under his care, including their graduating from college, getting married, and having children; it ends on a heart-warming note, with an elderly Jack surrounded on his deathbed by all five of the adult Little Sisters.<br />
<br />
In the case where at least one Little Sister was harvested, the ending shows Jack turning on the Little Sisters to harvest their ADAM. Tenenbaum sadly narrates what occurred, condemning Jack and his actions. The ending then shows a George Washington-class submarine coming across the wreckage of the plane. The submarine is suddenly surrounded by bathyspheres containing Splicers who then attack and take control of the submarine. The tone Tenenbaum's voice takes is more hostile if the player had harvested every Little Sister.<br />

<br />
STORY :<br />
Rapture was envisioned by the Objectivist business magnate, Andrew Ryan, as a laissez-faire utopia for society's cultural and scientific elite to avoid the oppression of government and religion. He secretly funded its construction on the mid-Atlantic, utilizing submarine volcanoes to provide geothermal power, and was completed by 1946. Despite Ryan's attempts, a seedier side of Rapture formed, led by businessman and gangster Frank Fontaine, who secretly managed to maintain a black market for goods to and from the surface. Scientific progress flourished within Rapture after the discovery of a new form of sea slug by Dr. Bridgette Tenenbaum; stem cells from the slugs could be used to create "ADAM", a plasmid that altered its user's DNA and grant them super-human powers like telekinesis and pyrokinesis. An industry for plasmids was created by Tenenbaum and Fontaine. To meet the growing demand, Tenenbaum devised a means for the sea slugs to be embedded in the stomachs of young girls from Fontaine's orphanages, named Little Sisters, producing large quantities of ADAM.<br />
As plasmid use grew, a class division arose. Fontaine launched a war against Ryan using an army of plasmid-enhanced soldiers, but was apparently killed in the fight. Ryan seized Fontaine's assets, including the plasmid industry. Some months later, a new figurehead for the lower class arose, going by the name of Atlas. Atlas's forces attacked Ryan's industries to steal the ADAM and Little Sisters. To fight against this, Ryan ordered the creation of "Big Daddies", plasmid-enhanced humans contained in giant diving suits conditioned to protect the Little Sisters as they scavenged for ADAM.<br />
Ultimately a complete breakdown of Rapture's society occurred on New Year's Eve of 1959 (about one year before the player in the game arrives at Rapture). Atlas launched a full-fledged attack on Ryan's forces; Ryan in turn was forced to create his own plasmid-enhanced soldiers, nicknamed Splicers, controlled by pheromones in Rapture's atmosphere.The resulting war left few survivors. Those that remained alive barricaded themselves in isolated areas of Rapture, while the remains of the Splicer armies, having become deranged over time due to heavy ADAM use, wander Rapture looking for more ADAM to consume.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">As I was growing up and about 16 years old, upon recommendation of my best friend. I started playing a hilarious game called Dink Smallwood. I loved it so much that till date, once in a few years, I start a new game and play it all over again for a wholesome Dink experience. This is a zelda style side-scrolling role playing game which was released as freeware in 1999 by Robinson Technologies. It has a small but constant fan following that continues to develop add-ons for the game more than a decade after its release. </span></div>

This includes saving a family from evil dragons when you come to know later that the dragons were innocent and these people built a house on their nest and another time where you come across a town that worships ducks and have no food to eat, but eventually as you kill the ducks the motion of your sword and the heat cooks them and the whole town has lots of duck to eat. Go figure! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">The game also has level editors which allow you to create levels. Each playable module is knows as a D-Mod, short for Dink Module. The game comes with its own D-Mod, Mystery Island, which follows Dink's adventures after his victory in the original story. D-Mods can be heavily customized, and some of them are very different from the original game. Many good D-Mods, some of them much longer than the original game, can be found online.</span></span></div>Junehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12298044855927023026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437024623220455157.post-76656044547032189542011-12-05T10:42:00.001+05:302012-02-29T12:36:58.172+05:30Carmageddon 2<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I'm a bit inclined towards hardcore stuff. Gore, violence, blood... yeah, that's my kinda thing. When I was twelve years old I stumbled upon Carmageddon 2 and thought it was gonna be like any other racing game. But I was surprised that unlike Need For Speed and other racing games I've played, I could see pedestrians around! Thirty seconds into the race I realised that there was a formal track, but the game gives you no restriction to explore or run over people! You know what that means? WHEEEE!!!!<br />

There are three ways to finish a level in this game. The first is the normal way on the racetrack where you must pass through the actual checkpoints of the race and finish the level. The second is if you destroy all your opponents. Yes! You can destroy them!!! The level has various powerups ( a spring that shoves your opponents with great force, greasy tires etc ) that help you destroy your opponents car. But the third way of is the awesome-est! Its epic fun because you can kill the pedestrians too!!! This gives you points and if you successfully eliminate all the pedestrians from a level you complete the level!! Not only do you get to smush and make chutney out of the pedestrians by running over them but you also get special power ups that help you kill them and combo bonuses if you kill two or more people at the same time. There is even a cat n mouse bonus in case you manage to get an arm and a leg off the person by lightly hitting them so that they just lose limbs but are still alive. Yeah, its very naughty! There is a power up called the pedestrian electro bastard ray that sends a ray out to zap and fry your peds, then there is another called suicidal peds where they come running towards your car so you can knock them out, you can also enter supermarkets and offices and paint the town red ( in pedestrian blood )<br />

Imagine a twelve year old girl suddenly discovering the joy of road rage and using a car to make pulp out of game characters by repeatedly hammering them with a car against the wall till they become, well, pulp.Look at me now. When they say violent video games should not be given to children, I guess they are scared that those children will grow up to be psycho. I'm not exactly psycho but unlike other girls my idea of a perfect date movie does not involve a romantic comedy or a chick flick but a hardcore horror, gore or torture film.<br />

For all of you who havent played this, you should download the demo at least and give it a shot.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Eventually, I came across a fantastic science fiction horror themed first person shooter called System Shock 2. I think I was 14 or 15 at that time. Now this game was developed by Irrational/2K, the same people who made the super awesome Bioshock, which was basically a spiritual successor to the System Shock series. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The game begins with the player having to choose a specific career in the Marines, Navy or the OSA. This choice is the first of many that determines how the player will shape their character. Joining the Marines will result in special skills relating to combat and weapons training, the Navy will result in technical training related to hacking and engineering, and the OSA results in honed psychic powers that can be developed for a number of purposes.</span></span><br />

Both games also feature hacking, resurrection stations and have audio logs and encounters with apparitions to reveal past bits of the story. System Shock 2 had Psionics similar to the plasmids in Bioshock. Another major similarity is that the The prime difference between the two games is that System Shock was made much earlier with a plot based in the future while Bioshock was made a decade later with a plot based in the past.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Slowly, the gamer in me was evolving as I discovered more famous titles. My afternoons and sometimes evenings were spent glued to the computer playing games various games which were engaging but lacked depth. Those days I was playing Need for Speed 3, Space Bunnies Must Die, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Road Rash, Rayman Gold, Prince of Persia 3d and more that I cant remember. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Space Bunnies Must Die engaged me for a bit as it was a third-person action adventure game featuring a female playable character ( I have a major thing for games where the playable character is female ) In this case, it was a truck stop diner waitress who's sister has been abducted by mutant bunnies from outer space. Yeah, it was kinda weird and that's why I liked it. The bunnies however were huge, evil and had big guns. Our character was pretty badass with lots of profanity (Fat ass bastard was one of the things she said with vengeance after killing the bunny in the picture below) and was modelled on the likes of Lara Croft.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The fun thing about it was that anytime during gameplay you could press and hold the D key and your girl starts singing a song and starts dancing to it. See the picture below where Allison and the bunny are both dancing. If she happens to be around bunnies, they drop their guns and start dancing too. This was quite effective if you wanted to kill the bunnies because you could just suddenly stop dancing and shoot them. Inspite of these weird and interesting details, the game was quite difficult and had a lot of bugs so I eventually gave up. Memories of this game are still clear in my head along with the song that the character sang. Its been about twelve years since I played it (1999)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Another game I enjoyed thoroughly was Prince of Persia 3d. This one came out in the year 2000 and I had a demo version thanks to my dad's Chip magazine. The game starts of with a cutscene where there is an uber sexy bellydancer (the one on our left) who performs ( See video below ) and thanks to my immense love for bellydancers and bellydancing I played on hoping to see her again. A bit into the game, you see her disappear past you into the darkness. This had gotten me really excited hoping that my character, the Prince would encounter her somewhere ahead. Sadly, the demo did not let me go that far in the game. I learned later by reading the walkthrough that you eventually kill her in the game. Damn, and I thought she'd dance for me. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh what a fantastic game Heretic is. This is my original choice of favorite old school FPS. Now I am a major lover of all things which involve medivial ages, fantasy, monsters, demons, witches, werewolves blah blah blah and I prefer fantasy of reality/sci fi any day. Thus inspite of Wolf being fun there was a certain something missing in it for me. This void was completed by Heretic, one more masterpiece by ID Software which was released in 1994 .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Players took the role of a nameless Elven hero whose race, the Sidhe, was nearly eliminated by a horde of evil monsters from another dimension. The player must first fight through the undead hordes infesting the "City of the Damned". The game starting skill levels are coolly named with Thou needeth a wet-nurse, Yellowbellies-r-us, Bringest them oneth, Thou art a smite-meister, Black plague possesses thee.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Enemies are super awesome like Disciples of D'Sparil - dark wizards with black robes and faceless hoods who throw orbs at you. Golems which are humanoids made up of rocks that attack up close with their fists. Nitrogolems are more powerful Golems that have an attack where they charge up an aura of flames, and then launch a screaming fire skull that homes in on their victim. It also has undead warriors, Iron Liches and Gargoyles. </span><br />

Thus, to this day when I hear Jennifer Lopez's hit debut single - If you had my love, all I can think of is my heretic characted in a particular level with grey skies and tall boundary walls. I was listening to that song a lot those days while playing the game :)</span><br />

One of the most powerful pickups that can be found is the "Tome of Power" which creates a much more powerful projectile from each weapon, some of which change the look of the projectile entirely. The best out of them is the Morph ovum, which transforms enemies into chickens! If the player gets hit by a morph ovum projectile, they will transform into a chicken, and will have only 30% of their health. Heretic also features an improved version of the Doom engine, sporting the ability to look up and down within constraints, as well as fly.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">FUN FACTS : Heretic contains different cheat codes that variously give the player invulnerability, all weapons, kill everything on a particular level. However, if the player uses the "all weapons" cheat code from Doom, a message appears warning the player against cheating and takes away all of his weapons, leaving him with only a quarterstaff. If the player uses the "god mode" cheat from Doom, the game will display a message saying "Trying to cheat, eh? Now you die!" and kills the player.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Already a fan of ID software, I now came across Wolfenstien 3d ( popularly known as Wolf 3d. Also termed the "grandfather of 3D shooters") Just like Commander Keen, this game was also created by ID software and published by Apogee Software. In Wolf you assumes the role of an American soldier of Polish descent, named William "B.J." Blazkowicz, attempting to escape from the Nazi stronghold of Castle Wolfenstein. </span><br />

There are four weapons (a knife and three guns) available throughout each episode for the player's defense.The game has strong Nazi references and Due to its use of Nazi symbols such as the Swastika and the anthem of the Nazi Party, Horst-Wessel-Lied, as theme music, the PC version of the game was withdrawn from circulation in Germany in 1994. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I loved wolf and found it really cool but the game would always give me a headache if I played more than three levels continuously. I greatly thank this game for making me realize how much shooters are. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">FUN FACT : Despite the historical setting, and the presence of Hitler as an episode boss, the game bears no resemblance to any actual Nazi plans or structures. At least three levels heavily feature swastika-shaped room layouts and maps, going as far as having one level (episode 6, map 3) built entirely of a tessellation of them.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My love affair with video games is the best long term relationship I've ever had. The first tryst I had with video games was on an old school Nintendo emulator where I soaked up games like Mario, Islander, Excitebike, Ice Climber, Circus Charlie, Nuts & Milk and Mappy. A few years later when I was in grade six, my dad was an avid subscriber of Chip magazine. Each issue came with a complimentary cd which had various demo version games and hence started this fantastic journey. Another notable contributor to my passion for videogames was a Daytona display driver cd which also came with a bunch of additional dos games. One of the earliest games I remember playing is the legendary Prince Of Persia DOS version and Dangerous Dave. I was never able to finish them.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The first game that got me really interested in gaming was an amazing game called Commander Keen. This game was developed by ID software (the makers of Doom and Quake) and was about an 8 year old boy who travels through space using a spaceship called The Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket which he constructed in his backyard using old soup cans and other household objects (yeah, he was a genius with an IQ of 314 as mentioned by the game creators) Before flying out to outer space and save the world, he takes his brother's football helmet and become Commander Keen, The Defender of Earth!!!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This side scrolling action game was loads of fun. And besides having a gun, Keen also had a pogo stick to jump up high! How fun is that? Well loads of fun because I was ten years old at the time when I was playing this game.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A year or so later I got my hands upon Keen4 Secret of the Oracle, which had now a slanted 3d look and everything was bigger, brighter and bette<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">r. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">The best part of this game besides fun characters and an engrossing story was that it had loads of easter eggs and humorous references. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">The game also had a mini game called Paddle War which could be accessed through Keen's wrist watch. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">In the "Pyramid of the Moons" level, if Keen stands on top of one of the crescent moon symbols on the floor, after a short while he moons the player! Also, if Keen is left idle for a while, he looks at the screen with his hands on his waist, and impatiently shrugs his shoulders. After some more time he pulls out a big red book form his pocket, sits down and starts reading it, flipping pages occasionally.</span></span><br />
