It's Either Too Much Or Too Less *sigh*

A few weeks ago i really regretted eating my words ...
What were my words you ask ?? Good Question ..
Me before the last exam to my mom : Phew ! The last exam ... after this comes infinite freedom !! **broad Grin**
Mom Listening to my petty emotion : You say this now but wait until they REALLY begin ... you'll really miss school ..
And i was like "chh Yeah ! Like thats gonna happen ..."
I had a good reason to say that .... I had a PS3 for heavens sake !! And a ... ummm ..err ... My friends ! Yeah i had my friends ! Ok is that all i had ? (-_-*) What ever i had made me feel that way and the hatred toward my books fueled this ....
After a week into the holidays :
*tring tring*
Me : Hello ?
Friend : Yo ! Wat'cha doin ??
Me : Trying to conquer the world while hopping on one foot
Friend : What's put you in this bad mood ?
Me : Im Bored ...
Oops ... mom beside me ... did'nt see her ... forgot about the whole " I Wont be bored thing"
....
....
....
OK OK I lost !!
Anyway ... i really was bored ... didnt expect the "Long awaited holidays" to end up this way . My ps3 u ask ? Well ... i ran out of games (~_~). I did have killzone to play but my friend borrowed it and i could'nt ask it back (long story). And this is the part where i had nothing to do ...
A week later ....
I get sickened by boredom and get Street Fighter IV (although im not an arcade guy .. i had nothing else to do)
Friend compeles me to try out Call Of Duty IV online and i loved it !!
Borrow story book from another friend and it turns out to be good.
Friend visits my house and returns killzone and i realise how much i've missed it ..
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW !!!
I HAVE TOO BLOODY MUCH TO DO !!
It didnt matter for long because my mom says we have to go to andra to visit relatives (~_~)
I hate my life ...
Cheers to you too !!

Killzone2

This is my first Full-scale review on a game ... enjoy ^_^
Name : Killzone2
Genre : Action/First Person Shooter
Platform : Playstation 3
Developers : Guerrila Games
Geaphics : 96%
Gameplay : 90%
Lifespan : About 12 hours
Overall : 98%

Who would have ever thought that killzone which came out in 2006 for the playstation2 would have such a massive sequel .When the sequel was announced through a trailer ,the immense graphic quality surely required a standing up for ..
When the actual game was announced a few months before its release date massive hypes and ripples were created all over the gaming world ... could this be the break sony was hoping for ?? No one knew until the actual day ..
And on the day of truth all was revealed and Killzone finally lived up to its immense and towering expectations.
I personally loved the game to the very extent it could take to ..
The story actually goes like this ....
The year is (im not exactly sure about the date but its somewhere around here) 2159 and humans have moved on and started colonisong on other planets .One such planet is Vekta .And another planet involed in the story is planet Helghast .
In the first installment of the game we understand that planet Helghast has a new leader/dictator known as Scholar Visari .He converts his planet into this war machine and invades Vekta .You play as captain templar and replel the forces out if the planet .As the invasion draws to a defeat for the Helgans they steal a few warheads and they happend to be nuclear ... coincedence ??
And so in Killzone 2 you play as Sergent Sevchenko and take the fight to their home planet .Aim. To bring down scholar Visari and bring a halt to the war machine ,and to retrive the nuclear warheads .
The stunning visual effects truly raises the bar and anything under it is now unacceptable .The powerful engine seemlessly anti-alises the environment all in the while keeping the frame rate at a very good pace . The physics are astoundingly natural and the flow-movement of the game is magnificent .The surroundings are also taken into account where every now and then a paper piece may flutter along or the friendly sun rays through the destroyed buildings seem all to good in thier natural glory .The fast action gameplay keeps you moving from one battle to another with hardly room to breathe . The fights are long , but not too long as to get tedious .
The weapons are another good factor in the game .Especially for me as i take them into account and so much to say that i let go of call of duty : world at war lookin at those world war two type of guns .There are various type of guns in the game which rise to specific occasions .. There are two types of standard assault rifles .The ISA M-18 and the helghan assault ( i dont know wats its called ) The M18 with its green assault scope is defineltly the pick of the lot . The other notable weapons include a bolt gun ( AWESOME !!) .Shooting a bullet onto an enemy will send them flying and bolts them to the nearest wall before blowing up .Another really slick gun is an electrifying sort of weapon which makes you almost invinceble .It has infinite ammo as it picks up energy from the air .I was nearly going to drop it down and pick somthing else as the going became too easy (LOL).And the standard sniper and all that party follows on ...
There are certain infantry types of helghan known as the "Heavy" which i'd like to point out .They are actually soldiers fed with drugs and exposed to too much propaganda speaking .So in the battle field all they know is hatred against the ISA (the good guys) . They have huge armour im-penetrable by common bullets . The only way one can kill them is by shooting thier helmets in which case they turn around and expose their flammable cylinders . A good 20 bullets should make those heavies jump in a swimming pool ;). The helghan soldiers are not exactly the sharpest tool on the sheds but they are surely a force to be reckoned with .The AI is really good and keeps you real busy on all sides .They take cover when they are attacked and dont peep put if you keep them suppressed i.e. Shooting bullets near their cover.
The weird thing about this game is that the gameplay never slows down . Even when your walking to your next destination .Maybe im just mesmirsed by the really good visualls ... i personally dont know ... I remeber those days when i used to play crysis and those long walks along those mountain roads were ever so boring even in "Super-speed" mode ...
You just don't walk around and shoot people in this game by the way .. In certain missions you get in tanks and get behind turrets which rise to the ocassion .One awesome mission sees you get into an ISA robot-like machine which is almost too good to be true... another mission gets you behind an anti aircraft turret to defend your cruiser .
All in all the campain mode is a bit of a flash but the trophies should keep you comming back to it .... The online mode is just well placed together .There are many modes :
1. Body Count - Your average death match
2. Search and retrive - Somthing similar to capture the flag in most games
3. Search and destroy - The game picks a target . One team Tries and destroys , the other defends
4. Assasination - The name says it all
5. Territory control - Isn't this mode there in all the games ??
The game moulds and mixes these missions very well . The online maps are really where combat happens in close quarters and there isn't much camping .
The online mode has two rewards .One as your leveling up to promoting classes like sergent and general .And the other one is being able to unlock new guns for the standard soldier ,the engineers , medic and so on .
All in all this game is definetly what the sony wanted ! Their big break and their saviour .The low price comes as a suprise and goes good on your wallet . PICK THIS GAME UP ! Its worth everything you own your ps3 for.

Hello People !! Missed Me ??

I am finally back in business just to prove that exams and my ps3 are not going to control my inner bolgging spirits .... Phew !
And now that i AM back ...
Look Out :P
