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.
