COD vs COH

I love these games but sadly my lappy has a limited number of Gigabytes to put it all in. I've been really late on the best games on the market, but better late than never they say.

COD 4 is my favourite, if you like a quick action right into the battle field, get COD 4. Yeah I know there's a new COD in stores but I don't think my specs meets it's requirements. So anyway, get Call of Duty if you want to have a close realistic feel of being in the field of battle. They won so many awards for this game and I think the makers of the game deserve it. You goota try out this game to believe how realistic the game is.

Just remember to turn up your speakers or best yet, put on some headphones and feel the pounding of the M1 tank shooting while you are taking cover behind it. It is almost deafening!

COH is another of my favourite. When I was a kid, I love strategy games and I still do but recently I am into 1st & 3rd person shooteer games so I was out of the strategy game thing for quite some time. Until a friend of mine introduced me to Company of Heroes. This game was awarded Game of the Year 2006.

Although it is an old game, it is still a interesting game to play. The game is slightly different from other strategy games. You need to control Victory points kinda like strategy points, the more you control, the more quickly you'll increase your resources. Also, in certain maps, certain points are more important in getting control than the other, so you'll have to really strategise and know which points are worth controlling first.

So which one I am playing at the moment? Company of Heroes. I will install the expansion 'Opposing fronts' once I am done playing all the maps so right now I am just enjoying the original COH.

But I'll revert back to COD 4 when I am done with COH. Haiz.. if only I have a powerful desktop for my games. Sometimes you just want to play other games so you won't get bored of the same old game routine.

Maintenance from 1900 to 20000hrs?!

Obviously an error. I think the guy was trying to rectify the problem with the server and in his hurry, he got his fingers pressing a little too much on the keyboard. It was after all an urgent maintenance.

Well, let's hope the server gets back to normal soon.

One of the most ADDICTIVE GAME ever!


Momentum Missile Mayhem 2

I am not such a big fan of flash based gaming online. Probably because there isn't much challenge in it and it is usually doesn't have that many levels. Plus it is so repetitive, it gets boring after a while.

But I have to say this game has got to be one of the best I have every played. At first glance, the graphics and color can really put you off. It reminded me of the first Duke Nukem game I played years back, but when I saw the good ratings it had, I thought I'd give it a try.

Caution: Once you play, you might not stop playing.

Just a little reminder before you proceed playing, because I am awake playing this game all night.

Objective
Anyway, if you like shooting games, with some strategy involved. This is the game for you. Basically you have to shoot hordes of enemies coming towards you. Each level will tell you which direction they are coming from and it is up to you to place your missile launcher where you deem fit. And each level has a different mission, so read carefully what is your mission and make it your priority because you can easily loose yourself in the action.

There are many different types of levels and each gets more challenging as you progress. And in case you get bored of the normal game play, there are other game modes like Survival, Armageddon etc.

Enemies
They are machines; tanks, hovercrafts, etc which doesn't attack you rather it tries to get to the other side before you shoot them off into pieces. Now each enemy 'dies' differently. As you play along, you realise that each of them play a pivotal role it the outcome of the game.

Upgrades
As you gain experience points, you can upgrade your missile launcher. You can also have different types of missiles at your disposal, but mind your energy bar because each missile launch drains it. But don't worry it will recharge, you just have to make sure you are not totally empty as the recharging takes some time.

There are other upgrades in the game which it is going to be confusing if I explain it to you. Don't worry, when you upgrade, you just hover your mouse over the upgrade icons and it will tell you what each of those upgrade does.

Bonuses
As you play in the game, bonus icons will appear which you have to click if you want to use it. But be quick, because they won't be there long. Anyway, don't worry, it tells you when it will expire.

Some bonus, gives you a quicker recharge, some gives you more firepower, sometimes they give you the power to annihilate your enemies by using a Nuke. The fun part is seeing your enemies exploding into pieces. And it has a chain reaction effect if you kill the right enemy.


That should summarise it. The game is pretty simple to understand as you play along.
Go ahead and try it out. But be warned, this game is really, really addictive.
