Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PC) *Warning, spoilers*

Advantages: fast paced, good Call of duty fun. good looking
Disadvantages: short, insanely unbeleiveable storyline (in parts), poor multiplayer support for PC

...Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PC) *Warning, may contain spoilers* After a week of sitting at home on my bum with my foot in a cast, I finally managed to work out a way to get to my PC and still keep my foot elevated. It was neither comfortable or pretty, but it allowed me to get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 installed on my PC at last. It is worth mentioning before I start the review that Modern Warfare 2 apparently sold more than 4.7 million copies on its first day of sale. Which is completely nuts and shattered the records. Of course that is across PC, Xbox360 and PS3. So it's not surprising really. The game comes with 2, yes, that's right, 2 DVD's, taking up no less than 12gb's of space on your pc. Installing via the discs requires the installation of Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/) a handy (or annoying - depending...

A good choice of memory card

Advantages: Easy to use and stores lots of photos
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if you don'tshop around

...As many of you probably know I suddenly had to buy a couple of USB flash drives to save my pictures on due to my laptop 'playing up'. Not only that, there was also another reason why it was important for me to get this extra storage space so soon especially after my friend telling me how important it was to have them stored somewhere other than just my laptop This is because I have recently bought a new camera for our forthcoming trip to Florida early next year which I wanted to have a little early so that I could also take it on my upcoming work trip to Paris. With the new camera I needed to purchase a few bits to go with it including a gorgeous pink case and more importantly a new memory card and card reader. After researching which memory card would be suitable to match my camera I decided on this one - the Fuji 2GB XD TYPE M. What...

Type or Die!!!

Advantages: Learn to type fast in a fun gaming environment.
Disadvantages: May be a little too fast on newer machines, especially through some of the training modes.

...love the game, it's fun, it's different. The graphics are cool and watching someone being slaughtered by some of the zombies is about as much fun as actually playing. I would highly recommend this game to anyone up for a laugh, who doesn't mind typing (or is trying to learn how to type), or is looking for something different...no I change my mind I recommend this game highly to anyone and everyone!!! It's brilliant!!! Thank you SEGA and empire interactive for releasing this game, it's well worth the money. I will be buying myself a copy ASAP. Just thought I should add the minimum system specifications, so here they are... Pentium 2 233, 800Mb hard disk, 64Mb RAM, 8Mb graphics card. Oh and there is a technical support phone line which is open between 9:30am and 6:00pm... Empire Interactive's website was kind of hard to...

Zombie Killer Meets Typing Tutor Shocker

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...This is a superb example of how to take two tired old genres, mix them together and come up with not only a rather good example of one, but an excellent example of the other. Typing Of The Dead is the sequel to House Of The Dead, mixing the completely separate genres of the old 'Resdent Evil' zombie shot-em-up genre with a typing tutor! "How the hell does this work!?!" I hear you ask...well it works extremely well and turns out to be not only a very useful piece of software to own in terms of improving your typing ability but also a pretty fun game as well. Typing Of The Dead, pits you against a hoard of zombie killers armed only with your backpack and strap-on keyboard accessory. You must clear the level of zombies through typing alone, which will target and activate your weaponry, blasting the evil scum back to whence they came...

Halo 2 comes to PC

Advantages: great sequel to a great game, storyline, multiplayer
Disadvantages: old game, low graphics, not too much variety

...After a gap of almost three years after the release of Halo 2 for Xbox, Microsoft has finally released the much awaited Halo 2 for Windows. But playing an old game with comparitively lower graphics in a new Operating System requiring about 1 GB of RAM sounds too bad, and also confusing. But the unofficial programs to run Halo 2 in Windows XP is already avaliable in some of the forums. Even if the game is a sequel to the original Halo and is released for PC for the very first time, most of the gamers seems to have already tried this game in Xbox and now waiting for the next one. This makes the release of the first Vista-only game look a little dumb. MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Microsoft Windows Vista 2.0 GHz or faster processor 1 Gigabyte of system RAM 7 GB of available hard disk space *The Dedicated Server and Map Editor...

Diablo 2

Advantages: Great game, loads of fun.
Disadvantages: Not challenging enough for some.

...Diablo 2 is the best PC RPG, (role playing game), ever! I absolutely love this game! I'm not a huge fan of computer games on the whole, I prefer card games and real RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons or Vampire the Masquerade, but I really like this one. I can quite happily play Diablo 2 for hours without even noticing the passage of time. My longest stint to date is 10 hours without so much as a toilet break. I am not 100% and a bit too lazy to check but I think Diablo 2 was published/released in the UK in 2000. It is the successor to the ever popular RPG: Diablo. Diablo was for it's time, and excellent game with great graphics and playability. Some people will assure you that Diablo is better than Diablo 2 but I played D2 first and think it's the greatest. Diablo is a little too primitive for my liking. Okay now for the boring bit...

Review of Diablo II (PC)

Diablo II

Advantages: character development, items
Disadvantages: addictive

...inserted into socketed items and weapons to equip those with special features. There's also loads of amulets and rings to be found, as well as lucky charms. Game options Diablo II is both PC and Mac compatible, requires at least a 233MHz processor and 64MB of RAM, but I don't think the game would really run on such a computer. Sound - you can turn on/off environmental effects and 3D sound depending on your soundcard. The resolution 800x600 is okay to play, but I would prefer higher option. What the violence concerns, there is blood in the game, but it's not really realistic and even if some monsters die bursting into a pile of flesh and bones including the funny sound, I don't think this can be considered a harmful level of violence. It is a violent game, because you play it to kill, but you do it for the good purpose, i...

Modern Warfare 2

Advantages: Graphics, Sound, Campiagn, Online Multiplayer, Simple Controls
Disadvantages: Complicated Multiplayer maps

...The wait is finally over and Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 has finally arrived. I was eagerly anticipating its release, so much so that I pre-ordered it the first day that it was available to do so. The original Modern Warfare and World at War are probably my 2 favourite games of all time, so would one of the most hyped up games of all time, live up to expectations ? ~~~ First Impressions ~~~ Right from the beginning I was impressed. The adverts before the actual game are again skippable, which means you're ready to start shooting in seconds. The first menu lets you go into whichever game mode you want and all in all the game looked excellent after the first minute or so. ~~~ Story ~~~ The game takes place 5 years after the original Modern Warfare. Despite your best attempts back then the Russians have...

Team Fortress 2 (updated)

Advantages: good team play, fun graphics, constantly updated and improved
Disadvantages: hard!

...Since Team Fortress 2 has been updated alot lately, i only think its fair i update my review. TF2 is a first person shooter, online multiplayer fiasco. Its like Battlefield 2 took some drugs with Walt Disney and then got in a washing machine and set its self to rinse. The graphics, as you can see, are very cartoony, as was the case with TF classic (so im lead to believe). But dont let that put you off. They are awfully good graphics and its quite a pretty game. Its worth mentioning that like the battlefield series of games, (and others) TF2 has "classes". There's the scout, Pyro, heavy, demoman, soldier, medic, spy, engineer and sniper. Unlike other games though, the classes here are very very different. The difference between the Scout and Heavy for example are astronomical. The scout has only 150 health, a bat, a pistol and shotgun...
