For manga fans and anime fans alike, they have been blessed with the online game for ATTACK ON TITAN. Developed by Unity Engine, it is available online. The game portrays realistic story like scenario. The 3-D maneuver gear not only deployed  simultaneously but we could also deploy the  left and right hook separately. This add to the realistic story-like experience. There are also 3 colored flares that could be deployed as signals to other player.

The game could be played in single player mode and in multiplayer mode. So the flare signal comes in handy in multiplayer mode which is to get our location and info transmitted fast and accurately (the meaning of the flare colors would be understood by fans of the anime) The story-like realistic features doesn't stop there. The blades also could be  reloaded as in combat the blades gets shorter. We would also need to refill our gas tubes after a certain time it was used at stations available.

We could also choose to fight with our Favorite character(mine is captain Levi) which have different special abilities. The story like features doesn't stop there. The maps are designed according to the real places in the story. Personally I enjoyed the heck out of this game and could go on and on about the great things about this game. It is fantastic! It is really like we are being part of the story plus the multiplayer mode which is wonderful.

But to be fair I have  some weaknesses that I want to point out from the game. Firstly, it is hard to sign up for the game ( but we could play without signing up anyway) at first I thought that I am the only one who is having trouble but in multiplayer mode I saw many other players that does not sign up. A minor problem that does not effect the game play. The game's graphic are low but it is still in 3-D. If it has a greater graphic i would be praising this games for a whole novel. But it is understandable as it is only an online game.

So here comes the star rating.......





Thank you for the game Feng!!

Title Screen of the Game
        Smash Hit is a game developed by Mediocre. A mobile games that available in both Google Android and iOS platform. This game resembles the endless runner game like Temple Run. It challenged you to go as far as you can through the challenging portals and layers that was so unique and alien. Compared to the typical running games, where a character or figure will run and try to pass obstacles like going to left and right dunk and jump, this game the player only need to focus on the path and clear the path. People are already bored with running type of games and looking forward for a new dimension like Smash Hit which use first person perspective.

Smash this diamond for more metal balls.
              Basically the games, player are provided with metal balls. The metal balls have limit. The metal balls should be used to clear path and to crash diamond. Crashing diamond will add the number of balls in your possession. Crashing obstacles using the balls reduce the number of ball you have. Yeah I dont have to tell as this is basic math the you learn in kindergarten. If the player failed to clear the obstacles and crash into obstacles, 10 balls will be deducted. The game will end when player is out of ball. So instead striking the obstacles with the ball to clear your pathway, player also need to learn on reducing the number off balls used so that he or she can survive longer in this games.


You crash into obstacles you lose 10 balls


           There are levels in the game and the highest level is the Infinity Level or endless-mode level. Awards are provided like beginner, legend , wizard and mediocre. The power you get, mean the further you survive the higher you rank is. To have the full potential of this games, player need to pay for some features like you can continue in a level that acts like a check point and loads other features like cloud syncing . The upgrade or purchase only cost $1.99 .





              My review, the games’s concept are so unique and fresh. The game provide high quality and overwhelming graphics. Player have the option to choose or change it resolution. The layout and challenge is so beautiful that mostly madeof glass shaped like DNA and other stuff that you will surely find out interesting. Music are also availabe as you play it and change as you move from one level to another level. Like a typical video games as you get to higher level, the obstacles will also be harder and the game will become so challenging. Don’t worry, there are power-ups provided.

              This games has caught my attention for several months and warning this game is so addictive. If you are looking for a new game perpective , do download this game. It is fun and highly recommend to those who loved Temple Run and Subway Surfer. Long live mobile gaming. Have a good day people.













Smash Hit - Entirely new perspective game.

Real Racing 3 - Electronic Arts
       Racing 3 is a racing game developed by Electronic Arts. It is a very interesting, fun and challenging games. It only took at most 2GB of your storage on my iPod. I believe that it sizes ranges from device to device as your progress on the game. It features a lot of stunning super cars like Lamborghini and Koenigsegg. It is a high resolution game and the graphics are so spectacular. From the outset, Real Racing 3 is the most aesthetically pleasing and popular racing series. To be honest it is my favourite iPod games. The game offers graphics more lively and epic together with logical physics like momentum and collisions. It pull out you device potential in graphic processing. 





Corners with real physics.
  Multiple traction options








Cockpit view camera.
So awesome but minimize your viewing angle but still cool.



       EA has tediously work hard in order to increase the “real” aspect of the Real Racing 3. 
The game now provide fully licensed cars to race on famous and well-known real-world tracks such as Indianapolis Motor Speedway or the De Catalunya. Each car definitely feels different than the others. The handling of the cars are different too. To make it more realistic, player have to service and repairs car too, when it is necessary. The motion controls are great and user are able to adjust it sensitivity, with braking by just holding the screen, steering and traction control can be modified in-game, allowing players to personalise their favourite driving style.The handling of the car is realistic and highly accessible, making Real Racing 3 feels like a console games.


       You can upgrade your cars. Upgrading cars, purchasing cars or servicing cars will took time, just like in the real life. The time taken in upgrading is vary on level of upgrades that you are making.You can skip waiting by using tokens that you earned when you increase in driver levels or you can purchase it as it is an in app purchase features of this game .Same goes to other. The Real Racing 3 are likely to resembles a racing simulator like the GranTurismo and arcade games. Damage are ‘Real' in the games, there will be dent and crack on the cars if you crash or hit another players cars or obstacles. Bonus earning will be cut if you done a lot of damage. In order to get the maximum income, prevent collision with other player and don’t drive off tracks. Maps are provided so that player got a sense of the tracks and can nailed the very challenging and sharp corners. Four camera views are provided in the games to suite your taste and comfort. To make it more interesting EA provide cockpit view just like in the Need For Speed Shift . Some people say that Real Racing 3 is the mini and lighter versions of Shift.



Real crashes. 
Look at the blue Koenigsegg spin around when tapped by the other cars.
Epic sound of tyre screech and engine rev.







Real, famous and legendary tracks. Lots more.
Sharp and intimidating corners.






        My overall review about this mobile game are, this game really provide players with very stunning and real like graphics. It is super realistic in all aspects. Next, it provide a lot of cars and careers missions. From drag race to cup race, the game provide players with a lot of racing options. Players can also customise and upgrade their cars. I think this games is the best mobile racing games that I ever have in my iPod. Highly recommended to those who love racing and simulator games and to those who really obsessed with super cars.






Customise and upgrade your ride







Play all the careers and events









Real Racing 3 - It is so damn realistic.

We'll say it up front, we like this game a lot. Anyway, What's up there? Welcome to a very interesting oddities in our reviewing blog in which two of the author works together to create one article about a game, albeit a part of it. The combination for this review is both the Ikmal, the Mal and Mal connection. So, let's get to the reviewing. It's also important to take the fact that we a re going to review the first act in the game only for reasons we are not going to disclose.

   Shadow fight 2 is a mobile phone game and a sequel to (surprise-surprise) shadow fight 1. It's a 3D fighting game in 2D plane like those you see in the street fighter and recent Mortal Kombat series. The models are made up of shadowed figure of everything, hence the 'shadow' in the title. The mechanic use the system deplete the bar to incapacitate the enemy and might run from one to three rounds depending on what game mode you choose. Talking of mode, there are 4 in the first act, which are; tournament, fighting special people to get money; duel, fighting online with other people; survival, beating ninjas in a survival manner to earn money; and boss fight mission, in which you beat aforementioned boss' bodyguards until you reach him. There are also challenge mode in the later act but like I said, less about non-act I stuff.

"If people see our shadow only, they will think we are...oh...sh*t"

   Shadow Fight 2 have a very interesting combat system unlike one you see in recent fighting game (in a console sense i guess, considering our preference). The game depends a lot on it hit-scan system which includes slow and long winded swings. It is not fast pace and is more wait and see how it goes type of game. That said, there are still ways to do a fast fight as your combat style depends on which weapon you use, and there's a lot of weapons to choose from. The weapon styles are balanced and each includes a type of long reach, short-quick attack with different input combination (don't get your hopes up, it is pretty simple).Some style are gem (the pay stuff) constraint but from our experience, you will get the same style later in the game if you are powerful enough.

   That said, one of the most prominent aspect that we love about this game that it is free and with enough effort, you could win it without emptying your wallet. Rarely you felt a fight is too hard, mostly it's either a slight of mistake or your weapons are not upgraded enough (which is really easy to do). There are also an overall of 6 act and from what you an see, we got this much to say for only one of it, go figure how long a 6 act review might take. The boss fight are also no joke, it is not easy, nor too hard that it is unfair. Do upgrades and by the time you are not one-shot-ed by him, you'll have the skill to beat him.

That's gotta hurt

   Shadow Fight 2, with its graphic, is not very taxing to a device (tested on xperia M2, I'm not good with phone so i guess it's not that powerful...?) It use an on-screen controller, obviously. Control are responsive and considering the fight work, you would not even notice it. Sometimes the game crash but it might be due to some other programs that are running(whatsapp....uh....). Anyway, the game run smoothly as it plays and the music is a bit repetitive, thus I mostly played with only sound on and the music off. The weapon sounds fit its purpose and every jump and dash are highlighted with good enough push and puff sounds.

   So, Shadow Fight 2: act I, how does a mobile game fare in our eyes?

Pros:
+Unique fighting system based around hit-scan
+Myriads of fighting style
+Lots of contents
+Good game to play on the move

Contents
-A bit repetitive on the music and sometimes the gameplay
-A few crashes and a bit of slowdown
-Fight mechanics might put off some

Students basically those who were in universities find trouble in managing their finance. Both the on campus students and out campus students find it hard to control their expenses. Students who receive financial aids also may find living in the universities is hard. With little amount of money provided by the Universities or the Legal Bodies, the high cost of living in this era make students in hardships. Some are willing to find part time jobs or apply jobs on campus for extra pocket money. The problem is, not all universities allow their students to have part time jobs or does not offer jobs in campus because they believe that working part time job may affected their study performance and can drag down their GPAs and CGPAs .Some students draw long and thick budgets sheets every month to sustain their savings and track down their expenses. 








"Great personal finance apps"












In this entry, I would like to make a review on an app which I downloaded from the Apps Store name, Wally. Wally was basically an app for personal finance. The Apps Store labelled this app as “Smart Personal Finance”. The apps was developed by napkin SAL. The apps was available free on the iTunes Stores. 

So let me get straight to the point, Wally is just like a virtual budget books and account reports , but the apps have a lot of interesting and helpful features. The apps basically tracks your expenditures. Basically, user need to insert the data like things you buy how much doest the thing cost and you can labelled the things whether it is personal or basic. There are also groups like foods, homes and other stuff. The best features about this apps, it help you to see the things or percentage of money that you spent and the pattern of your expenditure. This help you to get the wide and clear outlook on how your money flow from your pockets. With colourful labels and pie charts, the apps took your financial management experience to a whole new level. It ease your works rather than having to scribble all the things that you buy on a book and carry the book around or in your pockets.









" Easy to use and beautiful layouts"











You can input your income or earning in this apps and the apps will automatically help you to count your balance. With budget features you can set a goal on how much do you want to save. The apps manage your expenditures in dates and time. It also have a features which you can snap your receipts picture as  prove of expenditures and store them in the apps. 

My overall comment, the apps is really helpful. It helps me a lot in my life as a students. I can see how much money that I have used in something that is not important. It is a must have apps for everyone. This is because" It is not about how much money you make. It is how you save it”. So, save money people.

Released in October 2005, Shadow of the Colossus was developed by SCEI's International Production Studio (more commonly known as Team ICO), the creator of cult hit ICO. As a matter of fact, Shadow of the Colossus is considered as ICO's spiritual successor. However, what is in the past is not important. What matters is how well Shadow of the Colossus is by itself. So, let's review.

   Shadow of the Colossus lets you play the role of a young man (emphasis on young) name Wander who is trying to resurrect a girl named Mono. Along with his trusty and ever important steed, Agro, who seemed to be too large for the YOUNG protagonist, Wander will go to the Forbidden Land to do a, you guessed it, forbidden spell to achieve his goal. Guided by a voice in a temple at the Forbidden Land, Wander was tasked to kill 16 colossus at the land to be granted his wish. So, strap yourself to traverse an unknown land with weird language to fight one of the most imaginatively designed 16 boss fight, which could be said as the only 16 enemy in the game that is not a cutscene.

Hi... Nice smile..?

   The mechanism of Shadow of the Colossus' gameplay is not that unique. This however, was bought to a new level with a very innovative fight that offers different way to defeat each enemy. Plus the fact that there is only 16 enemy in total, means that it will never felt repetitive. The Colossus itself has an excellent design, varied in size and all aspect in general. Most of the strategy to defeat a colossus is not hard to find, but it's not that obvious either. So, it should take you some time to defeat each one. With the exception of the final one, which needed precise timing but quite a linear way to defeat it, the rest of the 16 colossus only requires the knowledge of the strategy to defeat to do so. Patience is a factor as most of the time, you need to climb the body of the colossus to reach its weak spot, requiring you to spend and manage your stamina.

I know I should have comb my hair today

   The graphic of the Shadow of the Colossus is superb in its time and era. The way it present itself fits the increasing desperation of Wander to complete the task. It also serves the perfect ambiance in each colossus fight. The map of the Forbidden Land is large and you won't be seeing a repeated theme at most place. It even make the quite lengthy travel between each colossus and the temple a very panoramic sight. The sounds in the game is also no joke as it clearly give proofs that the colossus are menacing and could rip you apart in pieces if you got hit by it. Other than minor clipping issues which very rarely happens, the game is pretty much free of technical issues.

   So, with a very interesting gameplay and use of strategy, a stand-out beauty of its time, and pretty much bug-free, how does Shadow of the Colossus fare in the Random Reviews(spoiler alert, it got a full five)

Pros:
+Innovative boss fight
+Beautiful Graphic
+Little but good story

Cons:
-Mandatory few technical issues

Hello, so it's only my second post for this blog.I'm going to do a movie review-again-for this month.I've never thought that i will watch this movie,as my schedule and routines are packed.But,I must say it is one of the greatest movie.Humour,suspense,love,friendship and etc.It's not just a typical sci-fi movie,it's packed with intense actions and myriads of jokes.
A must watch-movie
I'll brief a little about these badass characters:

1.Peter Quill a.k.a Star Lord,a normal human that had been abducted by aliens.Super slick,retro guy,no superpowers but as a human,he potrays great leadership.
A nice guy
2.Gamora,a psycho alien woman who was trained by Ronan.A living weapon.

kinda hot
3.Drax,a super ripped guy,with ancient red tattoo all over his body,with a small brain.
Naive guy
4.Rocket,a garrulous living raccoon,an expert in weapons.
Hard-headed
5.Groot,a walking tree with nature's abilities.
He's more than meets the eye


So,all of you must been wondering how to these awesome people can be the guardians of the galaxy,right?
I'm not gonna spoil the movie,but they're villains,and we know where villains goes when they had been busted.It's quite interesting when a bunch of villains change their priority.All of the music used was the music from the 70's,which is quite unique,to blend the old times with nerve-wrecking technologies.It also potrays a lot of  "what the power of love and true friendship can do".The plot was not dull,the rising action was quick,with a little bit of conflict.It's almost a quintessence of a movie.once again,do watch the movie,If you wanna know what these badass can do,to save the universe.

*Spoiler alert,I think its related to The Avengers.


The movie starts with a celebrity chef's carrier was going south after a food critique wrote about him. The problem was that he didn't want to serve the food that was determined by the owner of the restaurant. He ended up quitting the restaurant and started a food truck. For more on the movie you have watch it yourself. 

So on with the review. From my opinion it is a great family movie. The food was totally amazing and it's very hard to watch with an empty stomach. (that what I did and I regret it) The story though was a little slow in the beginning as it tells the downfall of the chef for too long. It was a bit boring on that part but the story on the food truck covered it up. But the story on the truck is also a bit too short. If the balance between the story of the downfall of the chef and the story of the chef on the food truck is more balanced it would be great and surely a contender for the first ever 5 star rating on this blog. The ending also was too sudden and not resolving clearly. It was a bit disappointing but  I still enjoyed the movie well.

   If Sony have the acronym GoW as God of War, then Microsoft would challenge it with its own variation of GoW, Gears of War. As a 3rd person shooter which is in abundance at the time, this Epic Games studio production has a lot to prove. So, does it stand up to the legendary mythological adventure game? Let's review.

   Gears of War took place in an apocalyptic setting after which a group of unidentified being (who is later labeled as Locust), attack the masses of humanity and brought it to the brink of extinction. The story centered around the fight of those who are left, mainly Marcus and Dom, to try and bring an end to the Locust. Throughout the trilogy, we will witness 5-star rated hollywood material such as, a deep lore, sudden exposition, epic fight, epic one-liner, epic death and even beautiful rendition of an apocalyptic world. (The author would like to congratulate himself for being able to summarize the story in a very short paragraph)

Wow, this is so unbelievable

   Now, onto the gameplay, and we know how important that is for a game. Fortunately, the game execute it in one of the best way possible. The shooting felt great, it is solid and responsive. Complimented by the variety of weapons available, it sure make it a very diverse and satisfying firefight. The maneuverability of the character is great with a bit of a wonky side in the melee aspect (which I will get back on later). The enemy AI is not stupid, although not superb in any aspects. It does provide some challenges if you want to play solo. One very common characteristic of both GoWs in the gaming world is that both of it is brutally and satisfyingly gory. Gears of wars love to spread the red liquid to the body of your enemy. Limbs exploded, torn and punctured; seeing the disemboweled body of a Locust is gratifyingly fun and it never gets old. The previously said variety of weapons resulted an even more variety of viciousness. It includes a laser pointer that marks a spot for lasers to fire and mechanized bow that shoot explosive arrows. Hell, it even includes an assault carbine called the lancer with a freaking CHAINSAW under the barrel!! The game really serves as a way to put out stress and release your inner bloodthirst.

Just wait till you hear the sound. VROOOOM!!

   The graphics, animations and sounds are good. Graphics is nothing much to be awed by, but the setting and design do make your jaw drop at how an apocalyptic world would look like (In a different way from The Last of Us, mind you). Animations is okay, the only problem is when you initiate a melee chainsaw attack, it felt a bit unresponsive and might induce rage as it would probably cause your death. Sounds fits the scene; events played out well with the soundtrack and the sounds of gore is nothing to be scoffed at. There are quite a number of bugs when the game released for the first time, especially the third in the series. However, it is already patched.

   So, without a doubt, Gears of Wars is a masterpiece on par with God of War, if not better. So, enough with this, how does it fare in the rating?

Pros:
+ Solid 3rd person action
+Emotionally tied with character
+GOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!

Cons:
- Bugs, the technological kind
- Sometimes wonky melee


Gears of Wars
