2890_Sherlock_My Favorite Game_Resident Evil 2

Posted by Sherlock on Monday, November 29, 2010 , LABELS: , | comments (0)




As the world first survival horror game which released on PlayStation, Resident Evil is now a legend in game history.




In 1998, two years after the first Resident Evil, Capcom released the sequel --- Resident Evil 2. The story of RE2 follows the first one. It's about the pharmaceutical factory named Umbrella which located underground of Raccoon City, it's actually a place people creating a bio-chemical weapon called G-virus. But one day the G-virus was accidentally leaked and spread though the sewer system. Most of the residents of raccoon city were infected with the G-virus. A few days later, the whole city became a place full of living dead and zombies. The main characters are a new arrival police officer Leon S. Kennedy and a teenage girl Claire Redfield. They came to raccoon city and was involved into the disaster. They meet and fight together for their lives. After a hard and horrible struggle, they finally destroyed the Umbrella Factory and escaped the city before the government erased the whole city with a nuclear warhead.

The game is so good that it's the best selling game in PlayStation History. The story lines, character design, level design are all brilliant.


























I know this game since 1998. It just blows my mind the first time I saw it. I played this game more 30 times and just don't get bored. After so many years, this game can still tell us that a great game is not just about good graphics or cool designs, it's about the influence it brings deeply into our soul. It'll always be one of my favorite games.

Actually, I don't play games very much.However,QQ pet is the only game I played for a long time and I really enjoyed it. QQ pet is a small desktop game about raising a pet. It is a very popular game in mainland China.There are 3 generations of pets: penguin, pig and bear.

I picked penguin as my pet. Only the one who has a Tencent QQ account can apply to raise a pet. It likes keeping a pet at home. You should take good care of it. You should feed it, wash it and let it study, do sports, play games, work and so forth. If you don't want to be disturbed, you can let it go for a travel and then it will disappear for an hour or more and you can call it back anytime. When it finish its travel, it can bring a present for you. How fun it is!

There are 100 levels, from level 1 to level 99 in the whole raising progress. And the pets keep changing on equipments, skills on each level.The most fun thing is that the pets can grow bigger and taller on your desktop.Finally, you will find a big fat pet on your desktop. Cheers!

Here are some fun stuffs.Check it out!













 This is one of the game interfaces.








The penguin pets run on your desktop.







The male penguin is fishing.So cool, isn't it?














The equipments you can win from small games or can be sent to you as a gift by the system.





2921_NBA2k10

Posted by Yao on Friday, November 26, 2010 , LABELS: | comments (1)



NBA2k10 is the game im playing currently .The game is all about national basketbal assosiation.

i like playing basketball i also like playing games about basketball,this game gives me idea about real strategy on playing basketball and how to manage a team in order it is on the way to the world championship.

there are 3 main kind of games in 2k10,1st is instant game this is let you play as what this team is looks like now .the player roster is the same as it is in real life and the players overall ability is simulated also.some players are good at deffense while some of them are good at shooting or slam dunk.superstar make the game easier to play.

the second game mode is practice ,in this mode you can choose every single player to practice themselves.why we have to practice?the reason is every single player have different ways of shooting and defensing you must have knowleage about their shooting and defensing habits.For example for Derk
Nowisky ,when you let him shoot the ball you should hold the shooting key as shortly as possible its must be like single click.while for other players like Kobe Bryant u have to hold the shooting key until his body reachs the top in the air.if you not do like that it will hardly be a goal.

The 3rd game mode is called "the association".this is the mode i have been always playing all the time.this mode allows you choose your favourite team and manage the team and play games by yourself.you become the manager of your favourite team how cool is that!you can do almost everything like the manager in real life.you can sign player that not playing under any team.you can make a trade with other team to switch players.but make as less trade as possible because trades will break the team chemical effect and make the team morale low.so the players overall ability become low.when the season is over you have to resign players ,coach,trainers and all the stuff in the team.you also need to deal with the draft so that you can train potential young players become a superstar.

now lets talk about the game play.in my view the 2k basketball is the best game that silumate basketball games.In the game you have to offense properly the offense must have rhythm just like rhythem in music ,at the same time you should pass around to find right time for shooting otherwise it would be blocked by the defender.what's more you must know that you are playing a team not a single player with the game going the energy may ran out which makes the shooting less accurate .what makes this game great is the defense ,you must do defense as hard as offense so that you can win the match.so everytime when i trade for one player i would knows about both his offensive and defensive ability so that it can build the team more stranger.

for more imformation plz play the game.

2802_Chris_My favor game_Counter-Strike

Posted by chris on Monday, November 22, 2010 , LABELS: , | comments (1)



Counter-Strike which we call CS is one of my favor games.The game was presented in 1999 by Valve Software company.
This is a first person shooter game which belong to Half-Life.
I remember that I was 5th grade when I touch this game at the first time.That I am love it completely.Obviously I was not good at it and always got kill.However with the love of this game I keep practices.Now I am still not the best but if somebody wants to kill me also not that easy.^-^

In CS you can choose to be the Terrorist Forces or the CT Forces.Then next screen is the player is in front of a shopping pattern: each new incoming players will receive a certain amount of money, you can use the money to buy their own hands the most known weapons. Of course, the type of weapon you can buy will be the party of your choice restrictions, such as the police are not carrying the "notorious" in the streets AK-47 assault rifles on duty. If you hand off, you can also buy some, such as helmets, body armor and the like armor.

There are three different ways in the game that it get the different task of each scene.

First scene is Hostage. In this task CT must to safe the hostage from the Terrorists. If you do not have to much patiences. I suggest you go to be the CT.

Scened scene is Bomb Plant.Terrorists laying a bomb,Counter commandos must be removed within the specified time bombs, terrorists of course, can not be idle - to do all means to "protect" their own bomb

I personally think that the third called "assassination" (Assassination) is the most playability: a counter-terrorism commandos to escort dignitaries (VIP) withdrawal of the safe arrival of a point, the terrorist mission is to "end "out of the poor Very ImportantPerson. As the game available to both sides of several sniper rifles, so the task is simply to become a "sniper war" where, at the same time, in order to reach the evacuation point to ensure the security, anti-terrorist commandos have carried out a thorough search of a room - - a fierce "near house combat" situation in the inevitable.

Because CS is so amazing that WCG make it as the official world-class e-sports events.

Let's see some good stuff.

A fantasy role-playing game released in 1994 for the Super NES by Squaresoft (now called Square-Enix).

An evil empire has arisen, looking to take over the world using the very powerful and destructive force known as Magic. Terra, a girl who happens to be the only remaining natural user of Magic, escapes from the empire and is recruited by the rebel group, the Returners, in order to help them stop the empire. Together with the many friends and allies she meets along the way, Terra fights the empire, and also slowly learns of her own mysterious background as a user of Magic. The conflict is also seen from the viewpoints of many other characters, such a a gentlemanly thief troubled by the past death of a loved one, a female empire general whose loyalties are confused between the empire and the rebels, and two royal brothers both reluctant to succeed their father as rulers of a kingdom, among many others.

As a dungeons and dragons-inspired game series, this game plays out with 2D pixel graphics as a battle between the player's party of four on one side, and various monsters on the other, dealing out all sorts of flashy swordplay and fiery colors of doom, the damage registering as white numbers popping out of the one who just got hit.

It's one of the many games I've had the luxury of playing over and over as a kid. What I believe drew me in the most was the story, and its presentation; told on both an event-driven and character-driven level, with playful use of super-deformed sprites to comedic and dramatic effect, as well as a very fitting classical-inspired soundtrack. Before Final Fantasy 7 made RPG's and 3D graphics popular, 6 was the videogame RPG genre at its most refined.

Can't say nay either to a game that has for its main villain an evil clown that laughs like This, or a game that, in a time where blowing stuff up is 99% of videogames, uses OPERA and uses it very effectively. Without 3D graphics.

2848_Kyle_Fav Game -----> DOTA

Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 21, 2010 , LABELS: , , | comments (6)





Defense of the Ancients (commonly known as DotA) is a custom scenario for the real-time strategy video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

Some one may say, it's just a RPG map in Warcraft III. But in fact, Dota is not same as  normal Warcraft. Warcraft III is the third title in the Warcraft series of real-time strategy games developed by Blizzard Entertainment. As with Warcraft II, Blizzard included a free "world editor" in the game that allows players to create custom scenarios or "maps" for the game, which can be played online with other players through Battle.net. These custom scenarios can be simple terrain changes, which play like normal Warcraft games, or they can be entirely new game scenarios with custom objectives, units, items, and events, like Defense of the Ancients.

Dota is not just a RTS game, it's fun because it has the elements of the RPG and MMO. Defense of the Ancients pits two teams of players against each other: the Sentinel and the Scourge. Players on the Sentinel team are based at the southwest corner of the map, and those on the Scourge team are based at the northeast corner. Each base is defended by towers and waves of units which guard the main paths leading to their base. In the center of each base is the "Ancient", a building that must be destroyed to win the game.
The Each human player controls one Hero, a powerful unit with unique abilities. In DotA, players on each side choose one of 101 heroes, each with different abilities and tactical advantages over other heroes. The scenario is highly team-oriented; it is difficult for one player to carry the team to victory alone.

It's normally 5v5 game, and each game lasts about 30-50 mins. Because the gameplay revolves around strengthening individual heroes, it does not require one to focus on resource management and base-building, unlike most traditional real-time strategy games. Killing computer-controlled or neutral units earns the player experience points; when enough experience is accumulated, the player gains a level. Leveling up  improves the hero's toughness and the damage it can inflict, and allows players to upgrade their spells or skills. In addition to accumulating experience, players also manage a single resource: gold. heroes earn gold by killing hostile units, base structures, and enemy heroes. This has caused emphasis on a technique called "last-hitting," which is when the player attacks a hostile unit when "its hit points are low enough to kill it with one blow".  Using gold, players buy items to strengthen their hero and gain abilities; certain items can be combined with recipes to create more powerful items. Buying items that suit one's hero is an important tactical element of the scenario.  Item choice also effects play style, as any given item may increase one statistic (for example, attack per minute) while leaving another (damage per attack) alone.

Based on the different heroes and the item they purchased, players' roles are different during the whole game. Do the right thing in the right time will be really important during the game and that will help u to win the game. For example, in Team fight, the position of heroes is very important. The tank should be in the front of team to protect the DPS(damage per second, the one who can much damage in a short time), the magician should be in the back to spell and avoid being killed. The assassin should blink in the right time into the enemy team to try to kill the most important hero in enemy team, and then fall back...That will make the game really fun, and that's why so many people are so into it.

The balance of the game is quite good to make competition is quite awesome. There is no such an imbalance hero or item. And in every version of dota, the Editor, Icefrog, always did tiny little change to make the game more banlanced.


Summery, the Competition make the game really fun, and the kind of RPG system(level up, purchase items) make players are so into it. It's popular now, and it's an event in many game competition, such as WCG.

2668_Jenny_Tut_Fav Game

Posted by Kanga on , LABELS: | comments (2)



:::Asgard Online:::

Asgard is an online game published in 2002.
I started playing wan I was ''younger''. ( probably a little too young for online game ).
and I think I was playing it for as least 3 years.
but the server has shut down after 3 years due to company difficulties.
Because of its great content, even until now it still remains as my favorite game.

As all the other online games, Asgard includes 7 occupations required with different skills---
Knight, Soldiers, Magician, Priest, Rouge, Assassin, Bard.
each occupation is specialized in certain skill...

In the game there is a storyline, in order to understand the game itself, the player would need to complete a list of requirement of quiz while leveling up.
The higher the level you are, the more you achieve and the more you are about to gain.

The most important part of this game is corporations in teams.
Players get to join parties, and team up to finish the quiz and leveling up as a group.
each occupation plays an important role...each time a group goes out for missions would required at least 1 occupation each per team.
Players need to play well in order to help their team/ party.
It builds a strong of sense of belonging.
Players feels more important when they've achieve the goals.






Online game is an actual world where you spend your time to communicate with friends,
and spiritually live in the storyline itself. Sometimes it can be addictive coz you are 'mindly'
living in virtual game.
Emotions are also important. Online games or online communications sometimes can involve misunderstanding because of the missing tone in real speeches.
Thus in online game it often includes special movements...like...
hug, kisses, pointing sitting...playing paper scissors rock function...ect.
and in Asgard it even has emotion balloons, which adds another great communication point on this game.

Players get to have their own your contact list of all your friends,
sending emails, items, gold is allowed.
Each day players meet up with their parties or friends and complete a numbers of missions.
and players get to have experience points or some items in return to make them better among all the other players.

325_ariel_Kane and Lynch: Dead Men

Posted by Ariel Chou on , LABELS: | comments (4)



Kane and Lynch dead man is a cooperative third man shooting game, AI character is Kane in the campaign mode, most of the time his companion is lynch, the other time he hired mercenaries.

the flashback storyline starts with kane are on his way to sent to prison after being accused as a murderer, he met the guy lynch, another inmate with him in the back of the truck. the truck is involved in a head-on collision of a group of mercenaries, they breaks out and they fight together for the freedom in the rest of the plots, and with gangs and policies threats, Kane tries hard to exonerate his defendant and to retrieve his family back, he saved his daughter in the end.

in the game, Kane and lynch both carries weapon, and allows alliance to swap the weapon or pick up the weapon, here are the lists of all weapon appears in the scene:short gun, revolver, assault rifle, standard pistol, grenades, sniper rifles and carbines. player are able to cover by standing next to an object, can blindfire, while player can instructs companions to follow, cover,and attack.

i am a big favor of shooting game with clear storyline, especially being equipped with lots of cool weapon, and in some situation has to figure out strategies to lead a tiny group to  against massive opponents. it is quite challenging for the game itself, opponents just came out from nowhere that hard to predicted especially the snipers, and player has to figure out a better way to get close to them, and shoot precisely. this game always requires corporation and management skills, when player send your companions far away to attack have to think about if they get injured,whether you can rush to them within prime time and save them by using adrenalin injection, also while player are saving companions' life has to also make sure under the safe covers.

the game has really good art conception and the backstage art director said, they organized groups to took photos of locations all over the Los Angeles. the combined this with concept of artwork to create 'locations that matched the character's mood and perspective'.

and the newest version is coming out called 'kane and lynch: dog day', i planned to buy it soon.
