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.
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.
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

-A bit repetitive on the music and sometimes the gameplay

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

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
