fear the game ... scary FPS

After a short break after my writing about half life and finsihing of with it eventually (I did win), I am gonna start off with the newest game that is all set to take it's place in the gaming world as an all time awesome game just like half-life once claimed to be ..... F.E.A.R. Yes, that's the name of a game.
Finally after a long wait, got my hands on this mind blowing and spine chilling game of the year. I bet it would be the next best thing after so long, since half-life, that is so good in game play and quality which is simply irresistible. For those who don't know about what I am talking about, it's about a game called F.E.A.R, acronym for First Encounter Assault Recon, an elite team that deals with paranormal stuff (not paranoid). We play the role of a point man of the F.E.A.R team who is gifted with a psychic power of being able to see things .. awww .. boring .. slo-mo. But hey, what am I yawning about, this slow mo is just not like any other game ... and the fact that he can see so is actually based on the story line, a reason which you will figure out only in the end. It is so damn well detailed that you actually see the ripples in air as the bullet goes through and all the particles scattering due to the impact. The quality being generated is simply awesome and considering the fact that WB inc themselves have giving their touch to the audio environment to make it more scarier and not to forget the game AI, it's so good that the guys you fight against make use of their environment to cover themselve, like jump of a railing, hiding themselves, just like true soilders. This is one mega game that no one can say no to, except heart patients and kids, since it has gore and violence along with the enemies cursing you(die m***f**). So as to say, this game is not for the faint hearted or computers with faint capacity.


The game demands a whooping 3Ghz config with only supported nvida or ati raedon cards(other cards are not supported but work with few glitches) and 1GB of ram.I ran the game in my desktop(3ghz, 512mb ram, onboard graphics) with full details except the shadows and I got an k running game with a few drops in frames here and there when I ran it in windowed mode using 3danalyse software. It's a safe bet that you can try too, but if you have a better configuration than you can really rock with the game in fullscreen mode and maybe even piss in your pants if you play it at night.

spoiler warning : --- nothing much here ------- :)
The game actually goes about a girl named alma who is psychic form birth and so is actually contained within an asylum. She is sorrta like samara in the film ring (well .. damn ditto), but unlike samara, here she wants her child. Girl ... and a child you might think ???? well she is the same lady that is shown in the end, who is actually the mother of the point-man .. that happens to be the character we play. A doc(there's always a stupid doc) by the name harlan wayde, who does an artificial process of growing baby within alma's body(for military purposes), which actually gives you the psychic ability to see things in slow-mo. She being contained in a place called vault has found a way to control a guy named paxton fettel, an army commander (actually a prototype that has psychic abilities too) who is in control of a full battalion of super soldiers who are all prototypes before you got released. Kill paxton and all are brainless, they don't even move... honestly. so, now all she want's to do is get out and get to her baby that is you but killing every living thing on the man kind .. sorrta. After having finally completed the game, the entire auburn distrcit gets nuked up and lucky for us that our recon team gets over and takes us back in the chopper. However not everthing goes well in scary movies or games and that's what happened here too (isn't it predicatable or what ... ), one of the team members enquire about the well being of alma and there you go boom!! she shows herself trying to crawl in from the bottom as the chopper tries to rise up .. and man that was the end, which was indeed scary. If not for the story, it's a must to atleast play for the graphics and gameplay ... and yeah the scary details.

that's all for now folks ... catch up with you the next time.
siyonara sucker (that's actually one of the title of a level in this game .. forgot to mention :) )

P.S : sorry about the last posts where I mentioned about the gaming requirements (if anybody read that one)... that was an incomplete evaluation and so can be ignored as a writing of a psycho (not me .. I didn't write it ....someone put my name).

Fps games (Half Life 2) continued ...

One thing I forgot to tell the last time was that the menu load up time of the game is much more than the actual game or level load up ... (that's strange isn't it ???). The main reason I think is b'cos the first level is getting loaded up .. atleast that how the first level looks like in the game.

K ..forget the crap ... here is the deal, when someone says that monsters' are scary, I feel like kicking their asses' and sure enough, I went ahead and played the game and now I am really getting scared after having playing just the demo level ... Not only have the shitty critters upgraded themselves to spider like jumping power and facial developments (with fangs out of their mouth), but now even the docs with that critters on their heads too upgraded or should I say became more detestable with their skin stripped off and now they run like hell trying to tear after you (asking you to join their party) and moreover these docs upgraded to the level that, from their crawling walk, now they jump off buildings. And boy that wasn't the end, another team of those docs exist with the new critters on their head .. These docs throw the critters onto you so that they can sting you with their venom while they are even a little far away (talk about magnetism..). After all this crap and scariness in the game, there comes a state where in, each and every kind of monster just keeps coming and I don't even know where to go ... and this time if I shoot all those guys, my ammo is empty and they still keep getting regenerated, don't know from where, I even went through the way from where they come, but there was no entrance from where they would come ... I guess they even learnt to teleport themselves to beat my ass up together ... so Gordon, here is the tip ... look out for those mean things and better find the way or else it's you who is gonna get the whopping this time ...

I gotta go, gotta find a way to escape 'em all .... bye for now // the virus

Fps games (Half Life 2)

Hi to all out there .... my first post would be about the game of all time. Ofcousre the upgraded version of it ...
Well, starting of ... the first fps that I ever played, which appealed to mind was Half-Life. It was a revolution with regard to the game A.I and quality .. of course the unbeatable game play stands first to everything else. I would be fit enough to describe the game b'cos there are already millions of posts out there that already describe it. I am now gonna talk about the half life 2 demo that I played. Well, the game is a bit crappy when it comes to the usage of the steam "account" ... The updates and other games reports are first issued to you whenever you start a game, making it quite irritating initially. But once the game starts, the menu screen itself is awesome. The game engine renders a scene with birds flyin’ on the futuristic town where Gordon Freeman (the hero whose life is crapped up) gets dumped by the guy in blue suit (does anyone know what the hell that guy is ???). I was able to play most of the demo pretty smothely (with few drop in frames here in there). One thing to notice is that the amount of quality being rendered is incredible. Remember the docs who get attached to that critters with four legs ??? well, here when you shoot such guys, that critter detaches itself and tries to take a chunk of your life as soon as possible. Another thing is that the interaction with the objects too is great. The new weapon that gets added as default, the gravity gun, as the name says, can bring about objects into mid air and hurl them onto the monsters. One more thing with this weapon is that, when you aim it at objects, it fires at them, making blades that are still connected to the wheel to spin. When this happens, any monster approaching that whell gets sliced and diced to sushi ... mmmmm. You can also use this gun to fry the critters assess (if they have one ….). One more interesting thing here is that those four leg critters have evolved to an even powerful spider like creatures that can drain the life within few seconds ... take care. One more thing I just saw was that these docs when on fire cry help me ... help me .. but when it comes to gamin’ and that too alien attached humans, we ain't that kind hearted are we ???

Shit man .. but this as far as the fun goes, play this game with full difficulty in the night, just the demo was enough to make my blood chill. Right now I am surrounded by these docs and have no ammo .. I am just scared to death. And all of a sudden I realize that I had a pistol with some bullets that I let 'em have and then used the old fashion way .. ass whopping using crowbar. Then I pressed f9 twice and the game crashed ... aw crap .. I'll let you people anything more I can get on this game in the next update.
Take care .. chao.
