Minecraft

17 10 2010

Hey,

I am sure many of you PC game fanatics have heard of the new game, Minecraft. Minecraft is still in alpha, but is rapidly nearing beta and is still under heavy development. Only being Alpha and earning the creator $25-35 000 each day. At this rate he earns a MILLION dollars per month. There is an explanation for that.

Minecraft is absolutely brilliant.

 

Once you start the singleplayer, your computer will automatically generate a random and new world like this

and what you do on your first day here, is build a shelter before night falls. At night monsters such as skeletons and zombies come out and try to take your cookies. Joking, they try to kill you.

You are alone in this mysterious world (the world generated is EIGHT times the size of our Earth). What do you do? Explore of course. Using tools to aid you, you dig deep into the ground to search for resources.

Crafting is one of the most important aspect of this game. You can create anything such as planks, snowballs or mining tools by make the shape. For example a door would look like this.

There is a WHOLE Wikipedia of items you can craft. Here is the link – http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Crafting

Anyway, as you dig deeper and deeper, you find precious minerals. Using the resources you find, you craft and craft. Hopefully you end up with a better shelter, etc. Well the whole point of the game is to explore and expand your home. The possibilites are endless. Some people with a LOT of spare time do this.

There is no aim in the game.

REVIEW

Graphics : 10/10 Simple. No need for excellent graphics to make a game a best-seller.

Controls : 10/10 Easy to use. No problems at all.

Modes : 10/10 The singleplayer mode is addictive and the creator is adding more modes in the full release.

Multiplayer : 10/10 Brilliant. I’m sure it’ll be MUCH better when it comes out.

OVERALL : Uh, 10+10+10+10 / 10+10+10+10 = ?

Oh yes 40/40. Brilliant. Simple. Addictive.

 

Minecraft is fantastic and warms my heart whenever I play it.

Please support this game that is full of potential by supporting the creator here – http://www.minecraft.net/

Pre-order the full version now and get 50% off! Limited time only so hurry and grab this wonderful game.

http://www.minecraft.net/ – GO GO GO!

Medal of Honour Multiplayer Open Beta

7 10 2010

Hey,

A friend of mines demanded me to download the new Medal of Honour MP Open Beta which is available for everyone to download and play from October the 4th to the 7th. Download it here – http://www.ea.com/games/medal-of-honor

I reckon it isn’t as good as I expected it to be and when it is release, it will probably not be as popular as CoD MW2 or BFBC 2. Here it a quick review on summary on the features.

Controls : 10/10 – No problems with the controls and plus, you can change them if you don’t like the defaults.

Communication : 6/10 – Very confusing and no one talks (because they don’t know how to). Hard to communicate with team-mates. No voice chat and no hotkey communications like Combat Arms.

Servers: 9/10 – Dedicated servers (they learnt from CoD MW2), that is all. However I sometimes get this message :

 

Connection interrupted - The EA servers are not currently available. Please try again later.

 

Modes : 9/10 – There is only one mode called “Sector Control”. It is a lot like Domination in CoD MW2.

Maps : 10/10 – This ten out of ten is for the map “Shahikot Mountains”. It is the perfect map for this mode and snipers like me. The other map “Kunar Base” is pathetic.

Weapons: 8/10 – I’ve only used the Rifleman and Special Ops class once, and they’re not very good. I reckon the snipers are pretty awesome. It is the same as MW2, rank and you unlock weapons and don’t need to pay for them. Maybe it’s just me but it takes around a full second for a kill to register. It could be the servers, my computer or my internet or maybe it was made like that. Anyway here is my favourite sniper, I forgot what it’s called :

 

My favourite sniper

 

Graphics : 10/10 – Nice graphics, a lot like CoD.

Friends : 0/10 – Can’t add friends. I’m sure they’ll add something when they release the full game.

Overall : 8/10 – I didn’t enjoy it as much as I’d expect. The fact that you can’t choose what team you are on really bugs me because I really like the terrorist’s sniper. The servers are kind of laggy sometimes and I am the kind of person to likes to whine and talk alot so the lack of communication just ruins the game for me. Overall I reckon everything that I haven’t mention just then is OK or perfect.

NEW TOPIC!

I was bored and made this on Photoshop yesterday. Seems like the only decent signature I’ve ever made.

Please rate it out of 10 in the comment section.

Thanks,

Bored

24 08 2010

Hey guys,

I haven’t been posting for a while due to me being either too lazy or too lazy. Well the other day, I was bored so i decided to mess around in Photoshop. It’s simple and it’s easy.

And I’ve been playing Combat Arms a lot. I stopped playing Modern Warfare 2 a few weeks (maybe months) ago. It lost its interest, especially the DLC pack. I don’t really want to pay for new maps, I’d rather pay for dedicated servers. SO I started playing Combat Arms again. It is now so much better than it used to be. Three times as many guns and tonnes of new maps. However hackers are still a problem. My friend Don made a new clan, F3ARL355. Our official clan page (made by me :D ) is in the affiliates. My NEW account is -Xannoxide-. For some reason I don’t play on Xannoxide anymore :| So yeh add me. and check out the website.

Thanks,

Mike
