BLUR Review

The Shark's View on BLUR


A game published by the Activision Team. And yet again Activision found a way to make the players go addictive over their development. Blur is such a game with which you can play online on the PC, Xbox360 and Ps3. Blow your friends up during the race, place mines and find a way to overtake them using the power ups you have to collect. Graphics and the driving response are really awesome. Of course this is not a real driving simulation game like GT(Grand Turismo) or NFS(Need For Speed) but this has a different way to express racing with destruction which is just too epic to describe.

Making way through a Single Player Circuit race
The game has simple racing controls like any other. Except there are a few new buttons used to actually make you get to the 1st position. 
Such as.
1.. You will have to place mines against your opponents just to stay ahead of the game.
2.. You will need to aim your bolts well to slow your opponents.
3.. Use the wrench to fix your car instantly before you get wrecked.
4.. Use the shield to protect yourself from incoming attacks.
5.. Like every game you will get a NOS power up, to get a short boost.

As of a single player campaign, gain as many fans/respect/medals as you can, by completing the fan challenges during a race and by finishing 1st 2nd or 3rd. unlock new challengers and new cars.


You will get 4 classes of cars.
Class A (fastest, exotic)
Class B (drifters, muscle, SUVs)
Class C (SUVs, muscle, drifters)
Class D (SUVs, muscle, old models)

Choose Well and Play Well.. And most definitely there won't be haters for this game. 

ENJOY!!

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Review

The Shark's View on COD MW3.


This First person shooter game has been my all time favorite until now. A game published by "Activision" and developed by "Infinity ward & sledge hammer games". They really managed to make this game better and better each time they launch it. It has been a really famous game throughout the years and probably will be.

A similar game based on war is Battle Field. It is most definitely an awesome game too, but honestly the only good thing in BF is that you can use different mechanisms such as cars, jeeps, tanks and helicopters.

Other than that, i have always preferred COD due to its realistic graphics and story line. The developers have maintained to keep the story linked to all the series which is just Awesome.

Single player Campaign
 The Acts given to complete are phenomenal, each act will be an exciting experience to go through, playing as The Rangers/The special OPS/The S.A.S are like your going through a battle field in reality. The smallest of details have been taken to a next level of what i call "Awesome Graphics!!"
From the cracks on a shield, to a major explosion the details of graphics are just overwhelmingly superb.
Single player Campaign (Paris)
Online multiplayer Team-Deathmatch 

The best part about the game which i say is that there are thousands of online servers where you can play cooperative, free for all, team death match, capture the flag and more with your friends or unknown players.
To me this game has been overly addictive as ever.

BECAUSE!!

Modern Warfare 3 is anything but another sequel tacked on to the series. From the gripping campaign, to the addictive Special Ops mode, to the extensively improved multiplayer, Modern Warfare 3 leaves nothing out.


Video Review Coming Soon... :)



EVONY Review

Login page
A free online browser game based on a RTS environment.Just a simple register and play, people from all around the world play this game, fight for it, waste their precious time on it. Probably it isn't much of a popular game to play nowadays but this is such a game which i would say that you do use your proper strategic mind in. Such RTS like Age of Empires II, and StarCraft II are another fascinating piece of work by the developers. 

How to play??

Its simple..
1.. first 7 days, you will be under a newbies protection, so non can harm you or scout you.
2.. build as many resources as you can.
3.. keep upgrading your buildings and researches.
4.. increase your wall and fortification.
5.. Take your resources, income and population to the MAX possible.
6.. On the 6th day start make your army through the barracks 
7.. 7th day, take your troops out for a walk (meaning go farm on the Flats, Forest, Lakes, Hills, 
     and NPCs' to gain more resources and experience for the hero.

City View

People would mostly whine about the construction time, and the limit to what you can create at one time.
But believe me, its worth a wait...
It is simple and complicated at the same time..

because what you have to do is look after.
number 1.. food, lumber, stone, and iron as your resources.
number 2.. population (increases by more cottages and by upgrading them)
number 3.. gold income (increases by the population you create & upgrading the politics of the 
                  mayor)
number 4.. create as big of an army you want almost unlimited.
number 5.. In simpler words... be smart while ATTACKING, DEFENDING, and FARMING to
                   reach the top rankings.

Another thing comes in mind that why would people want to play such a never ending, tensing and time wasting game.
Well i say....
If you have time you will most probably play any game in the world. if you don't, then do not play. Simple as that.
Because yes i will admit it is quite a tensing game and people might colonize your entire city/cities even with that much of hard work, but still it leaves you with a lot of knowledge on how to actually run a city!

This game didn't have much of graphics before, but now the AGE II has actually improved with graphics and with resources.

Video Review to be uploaded soon :)
