Mafia 2 – Underworld Unleashed

Wise Guys, lots of killing and lastly the fashion and love for wearing suits is what perfectly describes the mafia gang. The mafia gang was a gang well prevalent in many parts of the world, including America. Based on the chronicles of Mafia operations, the Mafia game was sketched with the intent to include a bit of reality in it. 

Now having said that, Mafia 2 is nothing but an illusion, a very far representation of reality, but it is thrill and fun. The main protagonist of the game play over here is Vito. Vito is a person who is presently returning from war and thus now decides to join the local mafia. From there on he carries on his usual mafia stunts which include killing, shooting and other such scary stunts. The dialogue and the story line is very well scripted and its all set to attack into a lightly accented macho threat.

Beautiful and Brutal – A deadly combination

Max Payne, a famous game which was released long time back, has been an all time favorite for most. Max Payne 3 has however shifted base from New York to sunny Brazil. Partly in flashback scene and partly as a story book sequence, as before it is the narration of the story by himself that gives that whole unique touch and the reason why it is a class different from other similar games.

Actually the main factor is that manly voice of Max Payne. Remedy Entertainment is no more associated with the game and now it has been taken up by Grand Theft Auto Games – Rockstar. This up gradation has brought about a change in the animation structure of the game with every move. Max Payne has now every freedom of moving around more like a free man and a lively one unlike the one in the previous versions where he used to stand still and shoot all his enemies. The whole idea of him moving freely in the new one to show his gymnastic skills while killing is enemies is simply great.

The real war begins here and now!

If you ever dream of real war with your own army and always had the dream to lead your team in the battlefield, then this is your dream game. Counter Strike was released as a game long time back and many say that it is the new version of half life. Irrespective of all that, the point is that unless you have a very high speed of internet. Because most of these games are played with the help of the LAN connection connecting your friends throughout and thus a high speed internet is a must.

Counter Strike has no out of the world logic in its game. It’s a simple cat – mouse game (or you may call it a war) with one side being the terrorist and the other being the counter terrorist. As a terrorist, your main aim will be to primarily plant a bomb in an area and make sure that the counter terrorist gang will not be able to defuse it at any cost. Your secondary target is however to kill all your enemies. Again if you are in the shoes of the counter terrorist, your primary aim will be to defuse the bomb planted by the terrorist and again the secondary target I to kill your enemies. As such it is not right to classify them as primary or secondary because what may seem to be the secondary target may be finished first. For example if you finish your enemies in around 5 minutes then there is no question of them planting a bomb as such and thus one target becomes null and void.

Who knew one would get the license to run in the temple!

If you own an Apple operating software device or maybe an Android (which is anyways very common these days), then you are surely to be a lucky guy. Temple Run is sure to keep you addicted all day long and this new game which has released lately has just won a million hearts. I can vouch for the fact that for most, once you start playing the game you will surely not let go of it. There is no limit in the game, no end to it and as you keep progressing it just gets better and better.

The game is not at all complicated; you have a structure built in the form of a temple where you are the sole runner there. You will be faced with a lot many obstacles on the way, broken roads, no end roads etc. On the other hand you will have gold coins which you will have to keep collecting as you pass by. The rule is simple, the more coins you collect and the further you go, the more points you score.

You can now build castles in the air – The Age of Empires are here

For all those who believed that building castles in the air is not at all possible and were a distant reality and just a dream to come to you only at night, think again. The Age of Empires is here to excite all of you. The Age of Empires online is the new version of the game Age of Empires and is nowhere close to it. It has a very distinct departure in the sense that it has a more strategic game play behind it and is much more cartoony and colorful. The game has not decreased in its complexity at all.

The baseline of the game is more or less the same – You build up a city of your own choice with buildings, hotels, architectural structures and so on and so forth as you dream of your city to be. Then you have neighbors (who are actually your competitors over here. They keep giving you certain task and challenges that you need to complete within a particular period of time with some task being to destroy their empire and certain buildings. The whole motive of the game is to balance your economy well and to complete the give task in time to give you added advantages.

Check out the Day of Defeat: It’s worth the Game

Day of Defeat (DOD) may seem identical and a grade-2 version to Counter-Strike (CS) to all those superficial multi-players out there. Yes, they are superficial because Day of Defeat is a hell lot better than Counter-Strike and it’s worth the money and the game.

It is a fact that DOD and CS are both made with the Source engine so they may seem a bit similar. But DOD dates back to the World War II unlike CS which uses a more modern set of tactics and weapons and ammunitions and this makes it look like a modern operation, not the conventional war-effect that can be obtained in DOD. 

The reason DOD can be rated to be better than CS is that it has a planned approach through maps. Some of the maps lead to only the snipers taking over but there are a lot of corners, rooms and open spaces. A knife or a shovel, however, can make the hearts of the snipers beat faster. You never when they are being showered. So the thrill is at its best.
