WarGames the game
Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 2 February 2008 04:29
(A review of DEFCON: Everybody Dies)As a geek one of my favorite movies is WarGames where a hacker breaks into a military computer and starts playing a game of global thermal nuclear war with a advanced AI computer that the computer later trys to make real. Well DEFCON is that game. The game was a really simple premise pick a side at the start and progress through the defcon levels setting up for when defcon 1 is reached and nuclear fallout begins. Defcon 5 is were players start setting up radar, bases, silos, airfields, and the naval fleet. Defcon 4 the radar starts to work. At Defcon 3 players can't build anymore but by then they should be trying to explore a little with the navy and find out the best places to attack when Defcon 1 is reached and players can finally deploy nukes. Single player Defcon gets really old fast but playing multiplayer can be really fun as players can make alliances with friends and attack their enemies together or turn on one another in the midst of conflict. Multiplayer also has some great alternatives to play like Office mode where the game is played in real time so it can take 6+ hours to finish and also if the player need to hide the game from the boss they just need to press Esc and the game is minimized and a word document is opened. Speed mode is what is sounds like as the game can finish in under 30 minutes and Diplomacy mode is where all players are on the same team and can see everything until one breaks off and attacks. Graphics are minimal but really stylish in bringing a real life WarGame game. Sound is really simple and subtle that is makes you feel like the player isn't really playing game but playing real nuclear war. Overall the game is really good and can be found for under $20 some places so it's also a great buy.  0 comments, Reply to this entry
Great hyper realistic game

(A review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Game of the Year Edition)I'm a big CoD fan and found the first and second game great experiences and when I heard that CoD 3 were console only I was bummed but now that I found out it wasn't developed by Infinity Ward and this is what they were working on I'm okay with it. The main reason that I enjoy the CoD games is the single player story and while CoD4's is a little short I still found it throughly enjoyable and ended spectacularly. Gameplay is a really solid while on rails but still feels big enough that I didn't feel too constricted. Every rifle, pistol, grenade, and other weapons feeling like I'm really shooting them. AI didn't fell dumb and gave me a nice challenge. Sound wise in respects to voice overs, effects, and music it is top notch with everything sounding as it should. Graphics are what every AAA title is today, awesome. Now I know some people are put off because of the settings of the game because of the operations in Iraq and terrorism but I think they should get over it and play this awesome game. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Great game but not perfect

(A review of BioShock)I've been waiting for this game since I saw it in Game Informer about two years ago and when that day finally came I was as happy as a squirrel with a sack of nuts. I started the game and was amazed by the pure eye candy that was the graphics; the water effects looked better then any other game I've played before, level textures were great, and the only real graphics that weren't awesome was the faces. As I continued on I started to notice what was the real appeal that drew me in to System Shock and F.E.A.R. which was the very atmospheric and creepy music and sound effects which scared me a couple times and the voice acting was also awesome and gave all the characters real depth. The guns in the game felt great even though they were really standard for a FPS and the addition of Plasmids (genetic power ups that gave you lightning, fire, ice, telekinesis. etc.) were great at first but became a novelty pretty quick because I was really only using the lightning bolt the majority of the time. Story is what kept me going (as it should have 'cause it is a single player game only) and getting the good ending, while short, was great and rewarding. Over all it's a great game but not as great as say Half-Life 2 but a must buy/play none the less. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Rammstein as their very best!

(A review of Reise, Reise)Looking back at Rammstein previous albums, Reise, Reise is the one I keep suggesting to people when they want to know how Rammstein sounds. Reise, Reise starts the album with a slower but powerful song that reminds me of the song 'Rammstein' from Herzeleid. Mein Teil is a creepy song both lyrically and musically that is about a true story of a cannibal. Dalai Lama is another lyrically creepy but musically slows down a bit. Keine Lust is my favorite song on the album; it's fast, hard, lyrically funny (the music video is a must see too). Los is a very interesting piece; its acoustic, very simple and a great song to chill out to. Amerika is catchy song that criticises America capitalism in the world and the war in Iraq. Moskau is another catchy song but bit more like Rammstein 'cause the lyrics are about Moscow being a whore. Morgenstern is another lyrically Rammstein, energetic, and very entertaining. Stein um Stein is creepy too and has a cool little part near the end with Till singing "Leibholz Ramm... Stein!" Ohne Dich was meant to be on Mutter but didn't fit and its a good thing 'cause it fits perfectly here. Amour is much like "Ohne Dich" and bring a great ending to the album and shows the band has really matured. 1 comments, Reply to this entry
Metal at its best
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 19 May 2007 06:10
(A review of Greatest Hits: Back to the Start (Limited Edition))When talking about metal I alway bring up three bands; Black Sabbath, Slayer, and Megadeth. "Back to the Start" starts with "Holy Wars..." about suicide bombing, "Sweating Bullets" about a guy suffering with dissociative identity disorder, "Kill the King" about corruption in government, to the end with "Prince of Darkness" which of course is about Lucifer; all of them bringing the heavy riffs, lyrics and all around style that makes Megadeth one of the kings of metal and showcasing their best songs over the years. 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of Ask A Ninja Vol. 1)If there has ever been a successful IPTV show that was not made by ex TechTV hosts, its been Ask A Ninja. If you didn't know what Ask A Ninja is about, its about a ninja that answers questions sent in by viewer about ninjas. Questions range from where do ninjas get their uniforms, are there any ninja conventions, and do they like standing in line. With great writing from Doug and Kent, the ninjas exaggerated hand gestures and telling of how awesome ninja's are in a very funny way that can be enjoyed by anyone. The DVD is a great way to start, if you haven't been keeping up with the show. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
