All reviewsDead Space2008
5 out of 5 starsWhen I got Dead Space, it was so that I could play an exciting game whenever my friends came over. And because of being busy with schoolwork and our daily lives, those times did not come a lot.. Yes, that was the story for half of the game. But somewhere past the half, (which took us months to reach), I was injected to play the game all by myself. And I Couldn't Stop Dead Space is basically a Survivor-Horror-Third…
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare2007
5 out of 5 starsI can say easily that this is the best fps that I've ever played. The game has an amazing mix of action, humor, suspense, and the best of all, an awesome story. The environment and the things that happen around you truly amaze you at times and take you by surprise. There is no end to shocks till the end that will constantly leave you awed. There is such a variety in the game that you'll never feel like quitting it.…
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars2007
4 out of 5 starsI was never a strategy game fan, but when i ran out of games some months ago, i borrowed this from a friend out of desperation for a game. I hadn't expected it, but it turned out to be good. Since i am not a fan of this genre, i couldn't believe that this game held me for hours together. There is a lot of thinking to be done in this game, and each objective can be done differently. You will be completely satisfied…
Mass Effect2007
5 out of 5 starsThe game is one of the absolute best that i have ever played (if not THE best). The main highlight of the game according to me would be the story, which keeps surprising you with the plot. The game doesn't necessarily emphasize on decision making, but how tactful you are defines how successful you may be. The story in short is about a guy named Shepard, who becomes the commander of a ship called Normandy. He then…

Hi duders! It's been some time, but I'm back with another video game related blog thanks to a burst of inspiration - this time, from Mass Effect (No spoilers, don't worry) There was a piece of music floating around in my head, but I couldn’t identify it right away. A few seconds later it hit me: it was music from Mass Effect. I immediately opened Youtube and started up my favorite ME soundtrack...
I felt nostalgic for a game that I didn't even like - Years later I fell in love with it.
Apr 16, 2018
Usually, you play a game, and if you love it, years later you may look back fondly on the time that you'd spent with it. But what if love arrived late? What if it grew and fully formed by the time you were supposed to be feeling nostalgic about the game? What you have then is a weird experience and a special chance to love something for the first time while satisfying the yearning that is cause...
Video games vs Films - Mediums for storytelling
Nov 10, 2017
Yesterday, I just got done with playing the second episode of Life is Strange: Before the Storm. I absolutely loved the story, atmosphere and the characters, and felt it was one of the most enjoyable video game experiences of the year. In a year packed with so many high quality releases, that's saying something. Having finished the episode, I started thinking about a question I usually return t...
Some of this generation's "big" video games feel like time-sinks devoid of emotional impact
Sep 27, 2017
Excuse me for the odd title but I couldn't think of any better way to word it. This is something I've been subconsciously thinking about for months now, but jumping back for a listen to this soundtrack made me want to share my thoughts about this. I absolutely love this suite - the first 30 seconds of the music bring back a flood of memories and emotions that had been built during a journey man...
I lost years' worth of work due to a hard drive crash
Jun 13, 2017
Yes I know, I should've had backups. And I have no one to blame but myself. There isn't any hope left of recovering any of the work, so this is kind of a eulogy (and a way to get myself to accept reality) before I start everything again from scratch. A few days back I took my external hard disk drive to my sister's place to watch a movie. Stupidly enough I plugged that in to the TV directly ins...
I just bought my first console ever
Mar 19, 2017
Hey duders! It's really odd, but I've never had any platform for gaming except a PC for the past 15-20 years that I've been playing video games (except for some cheap knock offs of N64 and such that I had as a kid) My parents never got me a console 'cause getting something exclusively for games didn't agree with them. A PC was useful in many ways though, so I got that. (They did buy me a good o...
