It's A Difficult Time!

It's the end of  the first semester of my ICT degree program. It's examination week now and I've started my exam since the last two weeks. I'm having a difficult time now. I don't whether I can perform well this semester; but I think my foundation year is a lot better than this semester.

     The worst part is I'm having health problem although I got two more examination papers. I  got headache since yesterday. Argh! It's so painful. I can't focus to study and revise. I hope that the ache will heal quickly before examination tomorrow. Wish me best of luck in the examination...

    This is my last post this year. I will have my holiday (and so with my blog) in two days. Thank you for visiting and supporting my weblog. See you next year.

HAPPY HOLIDAY & HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010! :-)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

The most anticipated first-person shooter game this year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been released almost a week ago. I've played the game myself and completed its campaign last two days. Below is my short review.




Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a 3D first-person shooter game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is the sixth installment of Activision's Call of Duty series.

Modern Warfare 2 is the direct sequel to 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare 2 takes place 5 years after the events of Modern Warfare in the campaign. It retains some of the main characters in Call of Duty 4, including Captain Price, 'Soap' Mactavish and Nikolai as well as new characters. The game's plot is amazing and most fans would love it. However, the game's campaign is quite short and even shorter than Call of Duty 4. You may finished the campaign in just 5 to 7 hours. Still, it has a great story to tell (play it and you'll know).

The game has really good graphics.  The game utilizes the in-house IW 4.0 game engine, which is claimed to be a generation beyond the capabilities of the engine used in Call of Duty 4. The game is very detailed, having high resolution textures and good lighting. Character's animation also very fluid and believable. AI is much better in this game compared to Call od Duty 4. The game's sound effects is good and the music score is really great. Characters' voices are narrated nicely too. Overall, the graphics and sounds does make the game alive perfectly. The gameplay is very awesome and its similar to Call of Duty 4. You'll be able to access various real-world customized weapons of many types like sidearms, rifles, machine guns, shot guns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, grenades, C4s, claymores and even able to control Predator drones. The game controls are easy and familiar like other similar games too.

Overall, I would recommend this game to all first-person shooter gamers.
Below is my score:

Graphics:     9/10
Sound:         9/10
Gameplay:    9/10
Controls:      9/10
Replayability: 7/10
OVERALL:      9/10

Revenge of The Fallen's Easter Eggs

Surprisingly, Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen has few easter eggs in the movie. But those easter eggs can only be seen by 'eagle-eyed' viewers. So far, there are three of them has been spotted:

1. Star-Wars' R2-D2
The R2-D2 can be seen as part of the debris field during the merge of Jetfire's parts to Optimus Prime moment, specifically at 2 hours 17 minutes and 52 seconds into the movie.

2. Decepticon Transformers' Shockwave
G1 Decepticon Shockwave was spotted as shown in the image below. The image is from the Devastator sequence when he is trying to suck the Twins up as they hang onto a pipe. Shockwave is on the front page photo below the headline "-ERIOUS ROBOT SPOTTED". 

3. Terminator's T-1000
The T-1000 is the classic villain Terminator played by Robert Patrick in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The "T-1000" symbol can be seen on one of the cannon fodder Decepticons in the desert battle.
