Dead Space is one of my favourite franchise of all time. This is gonna go into my Pre-order list next time i'm back from Offshore. It now has Co-op with different cut scenes and almost different story according to the developers. Its looking good in my book.

At the end of the year Warface is released and it looks like a great Multiplayer game. Fingers Cross.

Oh yea its a Free 2 Play game.

Can you afford this? This is not for the poor people, If you can't afford this than your like me. =(

Is Medal of Honor worth your time? is Medal of Honor worth your time? Has my fears been forseen?

Remember my fears at my last post HERE?

Well this is what i have to say.

Story mode

This is what i was waiting for and lets say it was boring at the start i found a few missions without the element or the feeling of the game and i got lost at the start but has i went through the mission further down it had more dept in them but just as i started to enjoy the game, i finished it. Yes the other prediction i made was it was gonna be a SHORT game. I think it was even shorter then the previous one which i finish in 3 hours.


Multiplayer

Yes the multiplayer is what i expected it to be. It wasn't good. But it was creative for example the other team can win by defusing the bomb 3 times and the other team can with by detonating 3 location during the game, but it does sound like Counter Strike but it doesn't defuse need to be defused 3 times.


If your into graphics like me cause it bring in excitement into your life and story mode gameplay, it won't disappoint. But the graphics in the story mode is better then the mulitplayer. I heard is sucks on consoles but what did you expect? Frostbite 2 engine was not made with optimizing for console, it was made to make graphics better and consoles aren't powerful enough and if you don't have a powerful enough PC it's the same.

This is a nice summary story of The Horde storyline. Take a listen if your interested. I read the Novels to know the storys.

After i bought Global Offence i was VERY disappointed. It was a game without feel and environment were stale and i was thinking "Why have they release this piece of s**t?" And i never touched it again and said to myself, well it was a cheap game after all and i decided not to review it.

When i saw the update downloading i was wondering what is was and i saw a small word "Graphics" and i said to myself well at least their doing something. And only just recently i started to give it a try to see if anything had change.

And the first thing that came to mind is "LEFT 4 DEAD" yes they took the left 4 dead graphic engine and used it for this game. I see more people playing it now then before the game had a feel to it. That feel is what a lot of gamer want, environment is fulfilling and i feel my money wasn't wasted.

I thank you Valve and the Developers of the CS:GO and anyone else that were involve in this decision. CS is going places now. WORTH YOUR $$$$$

Don't forget Hawken my little minions. Free to play games of this scale is not worth missing it life. Like i said in the past i just love MECH Cockpit viewing games. It's how it should be played. Not to mention a stiff rivalry frin Mechwarrior version of Free to play Cockpit viewing Mech game. Who makes the better?

No reason to torrent this one guys. Its free.

Now this a nice multiplayer preview to warfighter. Only time will tell.

Credits goes to WartimeDignity who posted this video in youtube.

The video on the official website was laggy for me so i decided to look for a video somewhere else.

Yes its been a long time since i posted anything here but i only are interested in games i think i worth buying.

What i like?

This medal of honor series has its goods and its best and far from being the best. But what i can say after watching numerous videos on Warfighter i finally got interested because of graphics and gameplay. It looks interesting plus it is a game inspired by an actual mission, of cause they did say INPIRED so some parts will be change to keep its secrets. The game does look promising and i can say this will be pre-ordered by me. What can i say i like realism in my games and my target is not to die throughout the entire game. I TRIED but never succeed. (Means i don't want to die ingame from the very start and if i did and continued i would feel left unsatisfied, that being said i always feel unsatisfied for every game i played. =| )

What i'm worried about.

I have faith in the storyline but little to no faith in its mulitplayer. Why is this you ask? Its because of the last MOH. And i am a little worried about the storyline game mode but only because i'm afraid it will be too short, example i played hardcore mode on every shooter storyline i play to make the game feel longer for me but in MOH last game i finished it in 3 to 4 hours, I felt cheated honestly and i can say with confidence i wasn't the only one that felt that way. So i hope the developers took the time on the storyline and make the game feel worth the Chaching ($), we gamers are paying for.

Now at the pre-order price should feel a reasonable price and you guys who are thinking of downloading illegally make sure you buy the game if you like it. Those torrents were meant for you to have a feel of the game before buying.

Remember more money developers make the more money and time they will take making the next one. Good Example is COD the developers took an nice and reasonable time in its storyline. I like COD's Storyline but not the multiplayer its a personal preference in gameplay style.

Like i said i love realism but i don't want to be in a real life war. I'm a wannabe.

Good Day and see you in the next game.

How to findout how much power you need for your new or next RIG (RIG is a nick name for personal computers)?

Some might go for the PSU Calculator or equipment that counts watts used and connect to your PSU but let’s face it, we’re not all computer experts.

So how do we know what PSU to use? How much watt do i or you actually need? I found out an easy way for us noobs to findout how much power we need for your new RIG.

First you got to decide what hardware you have or going to have. Example:-

AMD FX 8120

AMD 6870 (How many?)

Everything else is not really that important. Why? Because they don’t really eat up a lot of power but if you want a safe zone I suggest adding an extra 50 to 100 Watts after we come to a conclusion.

So now we have a 8120 & 6870 in our sights. Now what you got to do is find reviews on this technology and look for the power consumption page. Most review will have this an example of this sites are 3DGURU, Hardwareheaven,techpowerup, tomshardware and many others, these site will have a power consumption for a particular hardware. Now in power consumption you’ll see many figures, now what you will be needed to look for is the power consumption for LOAD test and only LOAD test.

(LOAD means the maximum amount of power it will eat up in watts)

Now take the LOAD test results, and add your CPU and GPU power consumption and add them up together. Example:-

AMD FX 8120 has a total of 233 Watts on LOAD

AMD 6870 has a total of 288 Watts on LOAD

Please Note that all reviews vary from each other and look at more than one and take the average you see among the LOADs.

So AMD FX 8120 & AMD Radeon 6870 total sum of power consumption is 521 Watts. If you like to add a safe margin of power just add an Extra 50 to 100 Watts which will total up to 621 Watts.

CONCLUSION

So now you’ll want a total of 550 or 600 Watts Power Supply Unit (PSU) or if you added the safe margin of a 100 Watts than you’ll want a 650 Watt PSU.

Please look for PSU that has an 80 plus logo on it, preferably a 80 Bronze, Silver or Gold. There is a differences and it’s a story for another time.

And my recommend brands are as follows – Seasonic, Corsair, Silverstone and Coolermaster.

This actually made sense. You guys should watch this. I never realize until i watch this video.

Here is my Battlefield 3 Montage. Have fun watching.

DIABLO III has a new enemy in it. Story wise its interesting. What say You?
