Crysis review

 Today's review is about Crysis; The game that has everything and nothing at the same time

Introduction:
The whole game runs in a tropical island where the North Koreans discovered something and are trying to keep the americans away from it. You play with a man named Nomad who is part of a squad in the US military. The squad is lead by a man named Prophet. The squad went to the island for a locate and extract mission for some american spies who were held by the koreans.

The Gameplay:
The gameplay in crysis is not that good, the first half of the game is really fun when you are discovering the island and killing koreans :D right after the aliens appear the game gets pretty boring. The game occurs in the future when a suite was created called Nano suite which is worn by special and well trained people. Your squad has these nifty suits. The suit provides amazing features which include active features such as maximum armor, invisibility, maximum strength and maximum speed and they include passive features such as an air tank(for breathing underwater) which refills when you are exposed to air, a crosshair,  a GPS, protection against very hot environments and very cold enviroments and many more features

The graphics:
Crysis is a game that has it all; textures, physics, shaders AMAZING
it is one of the most demanding games ever produced, at the time when the 8800s were the top of the line we said that there is no possible configuration that could max this game until the 9800GX2 came which certainly can max the game, When the game has everything set to high it is hard to tell the difference between the game and reality. unfortunately if you're going to play with a low end card, you won't except a little of this :S

Recommended config:
1.5GB Ram
2.0 Ghz core2duo processor or more
Nvidia Geforce 8600GTX or more(recommended) or 6600 GS(minimum)

Please comment with your opinion about the game and any questions

Call of duty 4

Hello My name is Mina and i am new to blogging, i got the idea of blogging when a lot of my friends started Blogging.

I figured that i would make my first post on the blog a review of my favourite game, Call Of Duty 4, or as it is famously known, COD4.

Introduction:
COD4 is a first person shooter in which you play with various characters, the main character of the game is a man named Soap Mactavish whom you play with most of the game. Soap is a SAS agent who is new to the force and has joined the squad of Captain Price. the game is about a man called Imran Zakhaev(not sure of the spelling :D) who has been stealing nuclear materials from Chernobyl, the Russian city which was abandoned after the Chernobyl disaster. Imran is selling these to a man called Khaled Al Assad, A man who leads a revolution in the Middle East.

The Graphics:
The graphics of COD4 are an amazing combination between Detail and performance. The textures are quite amazing but the only problem is that the physics are not really good. you can max the game with a Nvidia 8600GTX and even some lower cards since the game doesnt use unreal engine 3.

The gameplay:
COD4 Delivers an intense gameplay, it has a short story line which you can complete on recruit or regular in about 4 hours but it really changes things if you raise the difficulty to hardened or veteran which will take you about a week or more to finish (not talking about continuous gameplay of course). the game has a very wide variety of weapons ranging from the basic AK47 to the G36C and more. The multiplayer in COD4 is the best thing in it. as you kill more you gain levels and experience which you can use to aquire more weapons and skills. There are many multiplayer modes such as Team death match, Sabotage, HQ, Free For All and much more

minimum requirements:
I would recommend this hardware configuration to be present in order to play the game:
1)intel Core 2 duo 2+ Ghz processor 
2)1 GB of Ram and 2GB if you are using windows vista
3)Nvidia 6600 GS or higher
4)8 GB free HDD space

And thats all i have to say about this spectacular game and ask me if you have any questions :D
