Review: Call of Duty – Black Ops II
21 Jan
Back in October, I wrote a post about Call of Duty – Black Ops and how hooked I was. Today I’m writing about Call of Duty - Black Ops II, even though that its been out for a while, but I was too busy playing it to actually write about it :P
I have always liked video games but I never thought that I will EVER preorder any game just cuz I can’t wait for it! And that’s what I did, I preordered Black Ops II and couldn’t wait to put my hands on it. I didn’t even give the campaign a chance, I started playing online right away and I absolutely LOVED IT!
I was kinda worried of how advanced it would be as I have seen in the trailer, and specially that I didn’t like Modern Warfare 2 either, but I wasnt disappointed, the game was amazing. First of all, the maps are way more advanced and better quality with more hiding places. There are a couple of Arab countries included with people speaking funny Arabic :P They have definitely worked on the sounds and how realistic it can be. And finally, and the best part is the new NukeTown 2025.
A lot of people have recommended battlefield and I donno what, but so far am sticking to Black Ops II for now cuz am definitely enjoying it! I have reached Prestige 3 so far, maybe when I become a master ill get bored :P
So whats your favourite shooting game? and if you do play Black Ops II, hit me with your user name to kick you ass and show you how girls can play too :P
PS: I have heard a cool new map pack is coming out soon, what do you think?
Review: Canon 7D + DigitalRev
15 Jan
A month ago I have finally took a step forward into something I have been wanting to do for such a long time, which is buying a new camera. I have been very much into photography but sadly never had the right equipment nor the time to practice it.
And because there are so many camera options out there, confusion was taking over the idea every time I wanna make a decision. But I have been using Canon for awhile now, so that was definitely my first option. And because cameras and their equipment are too expensive here in Kuwait, I also took a leap of faith and ordered one online through DigitalRev.
I have read so many good reviews about DigitalRev, actually none of them were negative in any way! The problem is it was my first time to order ANYTHING online, so I was abit scared. However, the process couldn’t be any smoother, I placed the order and received it in a week, just cuz it was held in customs for 2 days, I would have got it in no time.
So what did I order?
Canon 7D
After a lot of research, it was down to Canon 7D and Canon 60D. I didn’t really know what I want at that time, but I was willing to invest into a good camera that would serve me well for a long time. The 5D would be definitely on the list next time, unless something better comes along.
I chose not to take the kit lens (18-55mm) and instead bought the (50mm f/1.4 USM) which is supposed to be good for portraits and gives you a nice depth of field.
Since then, I’ve been happy using my new camera, can’t say much about it cuz I still didn’t use it fully, but I would highly recommend it if you are trying to take your photography skills a step forward, even when it comes to video shooting.
Now what am planning to do is to buy more photography gear that would help me in photo shooting. So far the only place that I found with reasonable prices is AAB where I’ll be heading very soon to get my gear. Do you know any other places that you recommend?
I will be posting some pictures from my new camera, so stay tuned!
Call of Duty Addict
21 Oct
I have been always into video games, but I would say I was into the mystery type, horror and some of the car games. However, I never thought I would like the shooting type of games, maybe cuz I never really tried it, until now!
Not very long time ago, me and my brother decided to get a PS3 just to see what we are missing on. It came with 2 games, Uncharted (which I absolutely LOVED, checkout my past review here) and Call of Duty. I tried it out and got stuck somewhere in its levels and completely lost interest, just until I was exposed to the online gaming!!!
I just didn’t think it can get addictive, I was thinking maybe because am a competitive person to begin with, but that all changed when I introduced it to my friend who also got too into it! PS: Last thing she was into was SEGA!
So right now, am on level 40, sticking to Team Deathmatch, very annoyed by those Saudi kids playing and talking trash on the mic, but it’s definitely an addictive game. I have tried also to play with MW3, but I thought the colors are too pale somehow and way more difficult! do you think it can get better?
Right now everyone is waiting for Black Ops 2 I guess, for me, I think ill stick to this for a while.
Are you an addict too? tell us more about it.
Do you have any video game recommendations?
Review: Uncharted 3 – Drake’s Deception
7 Jul
After buying my PS3 (which came a bit late) and deciding to go back to playing video games again (which didn’t happen for a very long while now, except playing on my iPad) I honestly didn’t think ill get into it, I was wrong.
As I have been away for a long time, I kinda don’t know what games are there to play, which ones would I like and which I would hate! luckily, I ended up buying the PS3 with this game: Uncharted 3, with no recommendations what so ever about it from my friends, I definitely didn’t have any good expectations. Again, I was wrong.
I have been always into the games that had mysterious story behind it, puzzles and maybe some action, this one had them all. Not knowing how the 1st and 2nd part of this game were like, am almost sure this one is the best out of them, cuz I don’t think it can get better than this. Am not gonna bore you withe the story cuz its too long and complicated, and simply cuz it wouldn’t be fun playing when you already know the story. Am just gonna point out what I really liked about this game:
Story:
What I really liked about the story is that it has to do with the Arab world, it’s just fun playing games and hear characters talking in Arabic or talk about the history and heritage of those countries. The story involves funny scenes, action and shooting, and lots and lots of mystery and puzzles. Sometimes the action scenes got a bit too much, and some chapters are way nicer than the others, but overall its great.
Graphics:
Like I said, ive been away from those new video games for a very long time and I don’t know whats the standard right now, but this is definitely some amazing graphics! It’s just too real to a point sometimes you can’t really tell whether it’s a video showing a story or you are in the game playing. I like how your possibilities are limitless and there is something happening wherever you go and whatever you do.
Length:
I didn’t get to sit around a lot and play with it, but recently i did cuz i did feel that the game is coming towards the end and i wanted to finish it. I think if you had the time, you would finish the campaign in 3 – 4 days. Which is cool for such a cool game with a cool story.
Online Gaming:
I’m not very familiar with the online gaming as I tried it with Call of Duty a couple of times and found it VERY difficult and frustrating lol. This one felt a bit easier and specially that I am done with the game so am more familiar with it. I think ill be playing online from now on.
Rating: 9/10
So now, I would kindly ask you all who are into video games, is to recommend a few games for me that are similar to this one. I have been always into Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but am not sure how cool these games are right now. So recommend whatever you think is fun, and if you still havent tried this one, go grab your copy right now :)
