Battle Field 2

Type: PC Game
Title: Battle Field 2

I started to play this when I could get it working, which was very difficult because EA Games made it so that certain Video card would just shudder when they tried to run it. So I just downloaded the latest Catalyst drivers and then it worked, though it is time for me to get another Video card. When the game actually worked it was quite entertaining, with a on-the-edge touch.
Single Player is excellent, with three difficulty levels for bots (Easy, Veteran and Expert). The only problem is the bots were beating me, quite humiliating (but this was on Expert) so I do keep some of my dignaty. Vechles are powerfull beast machines, with Helicopters, Tanks, Jeeps, and Lear Jets. Boats are also a veichle that is usefully featured.
Multiplayer will amaze you, the only turn off being that bots cannot be added. Never fear though because there is a co-op download that will allow you to have bots in a Multi-Player game, I will offer more info on this later.
Commander is something that will suit some but some other will turn away from it, the alternative is that you can either be in a group or go Ranbo against a Tank, I suggest Ranbo.
When you are commander you have the option of placing and Artillary Strike, or maybe you would like to place a UAV (this will tell you where the enemys are in the proximity), but if its supplys your team need you could use the Supply Drop function.

No matter what you do on this game you will always be entertained.
Excellent game, excellent Graphics 4/5

Matts LAN

Matts LAN 29th September 2005

Well I am so very stuffed and tired once again and I can say that this LAN has been of the good. Unfortunently only 4 people turned up due to the "Confusion". Apparently another LAN was on at the same time, oh well. The good thing is I played some stuff and drank coke.
Cams Stuatus: Staring into absentness whilst rocking out

Matts Status: Hunching over computer and silentness

Shauns Status: Being his same old annoying self.

Fox Status: Dead....not really just sleeping

I am leaving at 3 and I came to matts house at 3 so that makes it 24 hours which is a normal time for a LAN. My com is still reletivly cold for its record, it is currently at 29.3 C.
Matts case is at 45.0 C.
I will finish this post now only because I am stuffed.

Unfortunently, people, I have not been able to find the Lyrics to this cool song but let me ensure you this song is EXCELLENT. Its A cross between Techno and Rock. There are vocals, a highpitched voice and a low pitched voice. The highpitched voice does the chorus whilst the low pitched does the main bit.
Now I will not be posting a link to get this song because we all know that it is illegal to do so and I, of course, obtained this music legally. As if the artists dont get enough money as it is. But you can decide how you want to get the song. JUST GET THE SONG!!!!.
Rating: Well I have never rated a song before but this one, I feel, deserves A 3.5/5

Breif Note: For those of you out there who are not fortunent enough to know what a lan is then listen up. A LAN is a gathering of people who bring along their PC's to connect up via network and play games. Traditionally there will be no sleep durin this 24 Hour Block. Usually we will have pizza or fish and chips, we will also bring some coke (sizes vary). The first LAN you attend will sometimes make your body feel strange but after 3 or 4 you get used to it.

CAUTION: If you attend a LAN DO NOT get in other peoples way when they are tired, they get rather frusturated.
AND DONT DRAG YOUR PC CASE OVER CONCRETE!!!!

CONTENT: Well the LAN is nearly over, its 7.07am and the LAN finshes at 1.00 for me. We started the previous day at around 3.45. I am tired but entertained and will be sleeping when I get home, not even my family can stop me. I have drankun 2 ltrs of Coke and that has really helped keep me awake. 8 People in total turned out for this LAN, 2 are presently sleeping. We have one new computer that has not been able to run any games since the start of the LAN because of a faulty graphics card. 4 People are playing starcraft, including Bucci and Matt, Cam is ranting on his blog just like me.
My eyes hurt andddddddddddddd.......the music just stopped.......HEY BUCCI PU T SOME MORE MUSIC ON YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING HUMAN. Nah this is buccis house so I should probly be thanking him for letting us make a mess, but im not a kind hearted person so no I will no be saying anything until I get home. THEN I WILL SAY "BED SLEEP".
If this Post has not made any sense what so ever please excuse me for I am stuffed.
OMG I JUST SAW JESUS AND THE 15 WISE FISHER MEN.....or was it the 6 Wise Fishermen? I really dont know. Windows sucks and so does ATI, because they both are on my com and make it run like a peice of shit.

F.E.A.R PC Demo

F.E.A.R: First Encounter Assualt Recon
PC Demo

This game is a legend. First time I played it I nearly pissed my pants. I reviewed it on a computer with a 9200 SE Video card so the graphics werent that smashing but I got the idea, And the idea was "I cant wait for the actual game to be realeased". The ending of the demo definently left me hanging when the machine sort of robot came through the ceiling and then the screen just faded. The guns are brilliant, espicially the shot gun. But of course the shotgun is my favorite in every game. Grenades are AWSOME, the graphics for the explosions is great. I recommend that you try the Hard mode and see if you can beat it, it took me a while. The games lives up to its title, that is FEAR. Fear is definiently and element in this game, as well as blood and gore. Sometimes Blood and gore is good, oh who am I kidding Blood and Gore is always good. It is good as long as we dont have these bitchy people who blame the blood and gore for a person shooting several people. Before I end this review I give one word of advice, this is kind of a scare ruiner so if you dont want to ruin the fear stop reading now. When you go down ladders expect a little girl to appear at the top. When you make it down the ladder a man will appear also.
RATING TIME: Ah good old rating time. Well this game scrapes up a definent earned 4.6

Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith -Movie

2005-05-27T03:19:00.000-07:00

One thing to say. This is a fucking good movie!. Very good way to end the trilogy.
The movie displayed nice battle scenes and jedi battles. Sweet special affects and everything like that, for you people who watch movies for the visual quality,. The story line fits in perfectly with the movie. Everything seems to just unfold perfectly.
The movie is also quite depressing in parts, all the jedi seem to die. Yoda pumps it up and many fight scenes, with are quite impressive because Yoda was ,until Ep. 2, a puppet.
There were new characters introduced, one of them being a Robot with a heart (Genral
Greeves). This robot/man never seems to give up and is cowardly. But eventually his cowardly life comes to a end. Kenobi kills him/ produces system/blue screen of death failure.
The senate eventually is under the impression that the jedi are plottig against them.

This movie deserves more that a 10 out of ten but I will only go by the rules of my system and give a ten.

^^^^^^^^^
And So the Trilogy is finally complete. George Lucas has done a fine job completing these movies. And for all of those idiots out there saying 'the visual affects were crap'. Well I say Go to hell you Fucktards!!!.

Battle For Middle Earth, Platforms: PC

2005-05-13T07:20:00.000-07:00

Publisher: EA Games Developer: EA LA Type: strategy Release Date: 12/06/2004

EA games did something good here, Something damn good.
The fields in the game are Campaign, LAN Play and Online play. We will begin with Campaign.

Campaign
You first start at Moria, Amon Hen, Helms Deep, Cair Andros, Eaves Of Fangorn, Faghorn, Isengard, LothLorien, The Black Gates. These are just some of the very many locations that you must battle in. Graphics are actually quite good.
You sometimes, ex. In Moria, just control heroes, like Gandalf, through the level massacring orcs. You can actually change the story line, as I discovered in Amon Hen. Boromir is supposed to die but you can actually save him, if you hurry,.
Other times you spawn on a map with an objective to capture orcs bases. There are also bonus objectives, for example, You must level up Eomer Or you must save the peasants.

One thing that really annoyed me was horses. They will stampede into army's and flatten them completely. Archers stand no chance against Horses so don't even try it. Upgrades are available, as in every strategy Game, but you can also earn 'power points'. These points eventually allow you to summon army's. On campaign the price to summon units is higher because the campaign is supposed to last longer. But on a LAN game it will cost 10 points to summon The Army Of The Dead. This is of course cool if the moldy bastards are on your side but quite annoying if the ghosts are opposing you. But never fear the summons to have an expiry date. So just sit back and watch the town get destroyed.
The races available in LAN Play are Gondor, Isengard, Mordor or Rohan. Gondor is n00bs paradise because of the protection that is offered. Rohan is shit and I suggest that you avoid being them.

Overall this is a very good game. I give this game a 10 for brilliant.

Circus Maximus, For Xbox

2005-04-18T03:35:00.000-07:00

Well this is going to the be the first post for this blog. And I am going to start of with a rather 'unique' game. This game is interesting in a way. But who am I kidding, this game is a pile of crap. The game I am talking about is Circus Maximus for Xbox.
The aim of the game is to entertain yourself with the crapiness of the game. The 'real' aim of the game is to drive a chariot. At the same time, in single player, you must control your warrior. This sometimes proves difficult but nothing impossible. The graphics in the game are okay. The map graphics are not very good. Game controls are terrible. Sometimes game developers seem to think humans have more than five fingers.
When in single or multi player try to remember to duck. And you must also lean which is a load of shit. Sound effects are not the best but are not the worst either. The horses ,when clashing, sound quite authentic.
You can also taunt. Here are some:
# "Come get some"
# "Come on, let me kick your ass!"
# "Ohhhh yeah!"
# "I will kick your ass!"
# "I'm a naughty girl"
# "You go girl!"
So the taunts are not very creative as you can see.
My rating system is set on a scale 1 for abysmal, 2 for terrible, 3 for have a cry, 4
for not so good not so bad, 5 for okay, 6 for good, 7 for nice, 8 for neat, 9 for excellent and 10 for brilliant.
I rate this game with a 2. TERRIBLE
