This is it! One of the biggest and most popular shooter in the entire gaming industry's lastest outing is here, Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The name itself even gave the hardcore a chill to the core. Since it was announced at E3 2011, Everyone was waiting for it biting their nails till the last. The Hype was overwheming. But now its finally here and rocking the first person shooter genre as well.
Quit following me, man!
When the intro starts, the OMG! moment starts. You are introduced to a Edge-of-your-seat cut scenes and you already start to say the word 'cool' from your mouth. The story starts directly after MW2 where Soap was injured after having conflict with Commander Shephard. They bought him to Northern India to tend to his injuries and that's when the story kicks in. You play a different person in different mission at different time. One time you will be a British Spec-Ops unit, Russian's President Bodyguard and whatsoever.In this different mission, you will feel as if you are really the person you are playing. The Storytelling mechanic behind the game is also very good. You can follow the narrator very easily as if your parents are reading you bed time stories.
Waste the dirt.
Modern Warefare 3 still maintains its over-the-top campaign storymode. The background score is so awesome that it immersed in the story very much and show you what a World War 3 would look like. The dialogue is also sooo good that i feel that the person who is speaking has a feeling behind her/him. The campaign hardly have a moment for you to breathe. It throws you to tackle every rumbling situation every now and then. I feel personally feel that the MW3 campaign is much better than Battlefield 3's camapaign. That aside the campaign throws you insane amount of enemy just to extend the length of game. This mechanic has not been working for most of the other games and infinity ward should know it better. The AI is also very stupid. It looks like the special elite forces had not been trained the way they went to combat mode. They stay in places where you know you will hit them easily. Looks like those who had suicidal tendencies went to the special forces.
This is How World War 3 looks like!
MW3 used an older game engine but it still look gorgeous. The Fireworks, people, gunfight looks awesome. The lightning and texture department deserved a praise for its good looking graphics. The sound system is also very good. Explosions, Gunfire, Shouts all sounds very real. With channel 5.1, it sounds terrific with every sounds coming in from every direction.
As far as gameplay goes, it's one of the reason Call of Duty is my favourite shooter. Controls are very easy to used and very simple. Killing people feels very satisfactory and want more 'bad guys' to come out of their hive. Sometimes i wish they don't put the name of our friendlies on top of their head at all times, not just when our hud is pointed towards them. i accidently shot many of my squad thinking they are the bad guys.
Multiplayer is the big thing in MW3
Multiplayer is very much the same as the Previous Franchise had put. While they can be enjoyable at times, fast pace action and small maps make me revert to Battlefield 3 which a little slow pace and big maps are available. Its so fast pace that i had to died uncessary many times and havn't had a moment to take a break. Maps are so small that you will be at the same place many times before you know it.
Look how cool my sheds are!
Call of Duty Modern Warefare 3 is the biggest opening of the game industry for this year. But it havn't perform like as people expect it to be. And one more to think about this game is the price. For the pc version, you will get the game for Rs 2500 instead of the traditional Rs 1000 and the console version for Rs 3500 instead of Rs 2500. If you think you got enough dime for this, go for it. But for the rest of the budget minded people, you better stick with battlefield 3. That aside MW3 also remains one of the best shooter game of the gaming industry.

You look back at a time before this game comes out and what do you find to the best RPG game? Simple enough! CD Projekt's finest moment of their studio life, the release of Witcher 2. The Witcher 2 had defined the entire game genre with its gorgeous graphics, over the top gameplay and one of the best of the best presentation. Reviews keep on coming and most of them were very positive. It reaches no.1 on the RPG billboard. But their glory had to be shortcoming by the released of another RPG game from Bethesda Game Studios, Elder Scroll 5:Skyrem.
Wait! Did you just said you had sex with my wife?
You start the game and you find yourself captured and taking to a place where your head will be chop of its grass-rot body. Not a very good thing to start a game ehh? Before that, you get to choose many of the races in the skyrem world, your gender and customize your whole body. Minutes before your head pops off your body, this huge Dragon appear and save your head (not you, only your head). This is where your adventure starts to this tremendous world of skyrem. Believe me, its that huge.
Overall the graphics is good but not the likes of Battlefield 3's Frost Byte 2 engine. (Man! I had been spoiled by Battlefield 3 visuals.) Character model is very good but not perfect and it kinda resemble Witcher 2. But Elder Scroll 5 is not a bad looking game. Sometime you will sometime stop what you are doing and sit back to look back at the beautiful world Bethesda Game Studios had made. It's soo good that you will actually feel you are in a different world. The weather effect is preety much impressive. I really like the snow condition. Believe me I feel chill just looking at them. The soundtrack is also awesome. It make you immersed into the Skyrem world.
You have my blessing! May you become a beast!
Stealing stuff, doing quest, killing people and the undead alike, absorbing dragon souls, chit-chatting, selling and buying stuff and many more is what defines Skyrem. You have plethora of freedom to do anything you like. You can delay a main quest and do some side quest. To distract yourself from the fighting and all, you can go talk to the people and help them with their stuff and you will be rewarded. There was so many side quest dat I actually delay the main quest by so many hours and hours. Choices also play a major gameplay. You can choose what you wanna fight with, what weapons you gonna choose, what clothes you should wear, what kinda people you should help, what magic you should use, choose what main mission you want to do first, everything you can do in a video game you can do here. This is what I called True Democracy.
OMG! So ghost do exist.
Combat is a really simple affair but heavily contented. Based on your choice of weapon, you get to used it against your enemy whether you want to used magic or the traditional sword weapon tradition or both. Its a hack and slash for the traditional weapon. But a bit disappointing thing about the combat is that i feel like i am slashing through the air instead of the enemy. Nevertheless, its fun and simple. You have 3 slots in your game HUD. One for the magic, one for the lifeline and one for the stamina. You get to used the stamina while using special attacks and sprinting. One very commendable feature of Skyrim is you get to choose to used the first person view or the third person view anytime you want and they are very useful in different conditions. Leveling up is pretty simple and slick. You have tremendous freedom to choose in what field you want to improve upon. You could get to improve upon your conversation skill to convince people or increase your armor level or your magic and many more.
Look you stupid animal! I can hold the sun in my hand!
Sometimes it takes your intelligence to play your part in the game. Like in combat, where you fight a dragon and let your enemies fight it and let you gave em the final blow. Sometimes you will be overwhelmed by enemies and enemies alike, its best you put your skirt up and run. Thinking you are being brave and taking on the waves of enemies aren't that intelligence.
Skyrim is a very large game. Even with 100 hours of gamplay, you still have many side quest to indulge in, weapons to unlock, armor to find, people to talk to, etc. For ever you know, you will be spending hell of a time in this game.
Gorgeous world of Skyrem
On the bad side, there are bugs that you will come across in the game. Someone hit you and you fly high above the sky. Really! What the f*** was that? And animals appearing out of nowhere unless they have their own portal or something. Sometimes you don't get horses and you have to cross long distance by foot and it take hell of a time. You know what? Even if you get a horse, it's definitely slow (not like Assassin Creed's horses if you know what i mean). But this things aren't enough to spoil your experience.
Skyrem is a game where you taste the sweetness of freedom. You get to do anything you want, added with great graphics, slick and simple interference, awesome soundtrack, great combat system and more.It may not be perfect but its pretty closed to that. Skyrem with its plethora of content in its simple package makes it one of the Best RPG game ever.

Remember guys 10 years ago, you were young and preety excited about gaming and feels like Gaming is like going to a wonderland. Well one of game of our time, Halo: Combat Evolved was being remake and finally its here for the Halo fans. Halo Anniversary, the HD remake of Halo original developed by 343 industries, stays the same as combat and level is concerned but biffed up with preety visuals and added features.The Remake is getting a preety getting a positive review. Here is here to see IGN review.http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/121/1212377p1.html
Halo Anniversary Cover picture
For those who havn't experience the Halo original game, the story is about a super-soldier named masterchief who fight on the human side to protect them from the alien race named as the convonent. Fantastic story, eye candy graphics and awesome gameplay made this game the breakthrough game of 2001. It also introduced the concept of modern day multiplayer. This Remake is only for the Xbox360 console and will be sold at Rs 1,800.
This is it, Boys and Girls!!! (Well mostly boys if you know what i mean) The Game you had been waiting for since the dawn of time when you 1st saw the trailer and say to yourself 'This is the game I'll do anything to get it even if i have to clean the bathroom, be a good boy, stop pursuing the hot girl-next-door or whatever it takes.' Well finally the day has come for you to go to your local Game Store and pick up the Game with tears in your eye. If you are one of the people who thinks like dis, you haven't make a mistake.
After you have an awful time waiting for the installation and update time to finish, your gaming world suddenly turn up-side down that you never felt before. You kept on saying 'OMG! OMG!' and believe me i had. DICE (the game maker studio) have done really well on their 3rd installment of the Battlefield franchise. Improvement is seen on every front from their previous franchise. The Graphics, The Sound, Gameplay, Interference is top-notch.
PC gamers will be greeted with the battlelog screen from your default internet browser. Its a main interference to control your game, get log from your ever expanding gameplay, track your progress, interect with your fellow players, etc. DICE deserve a pad in the back for such a slick, easy to follow battlelog system.It also resemble facebook wall system. It displays the reward you are gonna get after scoring 'this' much points. I also find myself increasing friends in my battlelog system after playing either multiplayer or campaign co-op.
You head over to the Campaign and you are receive with a visual delight slick interference. The 'Blur Animation' really impress me.You start off with a fighting your heads off at the train.You started to notice the easy controls they have integrate into the game. Frankly telling the story doesn't impress. Feels like a typical shooter game story.Set in 2014, SSgt Blackburn leads a five-man squad on a mission to locate, find and safely return a US squad investigating a possible IED, whose last known position was a market controlled by a hostile militia called the PLR. Blackburn and his squad are later sent to Tehran to apprehend a high-value target named Al-Bashir.And hell broke lose. While the story feels lame, the cutscenes are an eye-candy and voice acting are really good.
Moving over to Co-Op mode, you find yourself the immense pleasure of having someone by your side. This is just the literal sense of meaning but it really is true. DICE have put aside 6 exclusive levels for the Co-Op in which beating a level open up the others. There is a very much sense of variety in this mode. In one of the level, you will be fighting waves of enemies on foot then you end up flying a chopper helping the ground units in which one of you will be flying the helicop and the other shooting the hell out of the ground enemies. That is what is i called Real Cooperation.
Here comes the part why Battlefield 3 is such a huge hit among the shooter games. It's the Multiplayer mode. Believe me it's that huge that you will actually piss your pants by now. Plethora of weapons, maps, choice of what you wanna become, vehicles, customization and what not to say. In spite of this, the game make it very easy to choose what you wanna become or how you wanna play it with its slick interference. There are 4 types of soldiers. Each have their own advantage and disadvantage. You have to find your inner self to see what suits you the best. And your ability to work as a team as there is no 'I' in this gameplay. As you level up, you will find yourself with new weapons, maps and vehicle.
As far as presentation goes, Battlefield 3 is an excellent example of modern days games. The immense capabilities of Frostbyte 2 engine bring to the table graphics you have never seen in your life. The lightning , the texture condition have bring itself to the real life like things. Lemme tell you this, this game is gonna test the capability of your Graphics Card. Not only this, The sound department have reach the limit of sound in gaming. Every shot feels satisfied as you shit the hell out of the 'bad guys'. Environment destruction rules too. But in every good there are 'the bad'. There are minor bugs in the game engine. People flying, bodies floating and minor game crashes.
That said Battlefield 3 is an excellent game to put your hard earn money to especially the multiplayer crazy guys as the real magic of the game lies in the multiplayer. Sure it has its flaw but overall the goods overrule the bads. To conclude, Battlefield 3 is the best shooter game out there.

Rating:-2.5/10

At last the summer has come
Many things to do now
I need to gear up for now
No need to go to school
And read all those boring books
‘Cause I have freedom from now
[CHORUS: Movies, Picnics. I need to go there Dating, Fishing. The Time is still there TVs, Games. Should not forget those And I wish that you could join me]
Na, na, na………………
I have so many friends
Just in the neighbor
So much fun that we’ll have
With so many talents
Which are very useful
I am so lucky with them
[CHORUS]
The time is right
For us to have fun
The time is right
For us to be naughty
The time is right
For us to see that
We are all enjoying…….
First time
When you come in around
I was waiting by the door
To call you around
When you come by my side
I was staring at you
But you didn’t respond
Or gaze at me
Is there any reason you didn’t respond?
Or is it that you are too cool for me?
Or is there anyway to please you?
But I know that
Someday you gonna be mine [Chorus: don’t you know that I am in love ? But you don’t know what’s going on? Don’t you want to be my First love, OH! My first love?
I am so popular in this town People will come to see you around If you just could be my First love, OH! My first love?]
On to the class waiting for you
So that you would come out
And meet me here
When you come outside
I call your name
But you didn’t response
Or gaze at me
Why didn’t you ever respond?
Or is it that you are too hot?
Maybe you need to cool down?
But I know that
Someday you gonna be mine [Chorus]
Maybe you need to relax back there
And formally tie the knot with me
So that I would come out
And say that I love you (love you)2x
Is there any reason you didn’t respond?
Or is it that you are too cool for me?
Or is there anyway to please you?
But I know that
Someday you gonna be mine [Chorus]
(oh my first love)3x
