Heavy Rain
8.5 / 10
Platform : PS3
Publisher : Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer : Quantic Dream
The Good
Good Storyline with full of actions.
Detailed characters and environments.
Rocking soundtrack.
The Bad
Some Technical issues.
Poor movement controls.
Heavy rain is a story of four main characters. The first character is Ethan Mars, he is an architect with his wife and two sons. His elder son was died in car accident and now he is separated with his wife and his other son Shaun. Ethan found that shaun may become the next victim of the killer, so he decided to save him.The second character is Madison Paige , she is a photojournalist living alone in the city and she is patient of chronic insomnia. She finds herself involved in the latest Origami killer case while doing her own investigations. The third character is Norman Jaydon , He is a FBI agent and doing investigation of origami killer and he is also investigate the drug triptocaine case. The last character is Scott Shelby. Scott is a retired police officer and now he is working as a private detective . He is also doing investigation into the Origami Killer on the behalf of previous victim’s families.
The great thing about Heavy rain that the entire game revolves around the story.It’s not like the previous games of Quantic Dreams which came up with some cool scenes and then wrapped a story for the game . The story of Heavy rain is totally focused.
The starting of Heavy rain is very slow, it will take an hour to meat the real experience and things to really pick up , but once it does , you will not want to put your controller down. The control mechanism of Heavy rain has a completely different level by removing the win/fail results . You can’t even fail in Heavy rain . There is no Game Over screen, and nothing will force you to replay anything.

Battlefield : Bad Company 2
9 / 10
Platform : PC | PS3 | Xbox 360
Publisher : Electronic Arts
Developer : EA Digital illusions CE
The Good
Weapons are awesome.
Vehicle , vehicle and more vehicles.
Maps are huge.
Change weapon sets on the fly.
The Bad
More Powerful AI.
Battlefield : Bad Company 2 is a first person shooter game. It is a direct sequel of Battlefield : Bad Company. The single player campaign follows the story of some soldiers . These soldiers trying to save the hunt of a mythical weapon of mass destruction. And It must not fall into the hands of the Russians. These soldiers trying to save the world, and it will take you across the great variety of locations with full of mountains and jungles.
These awesome locations are the first thing that will forced you to play the game. The skybox looks very photorealistic in many situations. The blending of particle effects and game objects are really well created. Things become more impressive when the actions starts. Battlefield game has good control mechanics. The sound of game is really fantastic, and the guns react well. The handle of vehicles are very smoothly programmed. These all things feel you like a king of the Battlefield.
The Artificial Intelligence of squad mates at your side are more powerful and act like real soldiers in battle. In many games the squad mates are not more effective, so that the you will be able to do all of the heavy lifting. If you want to find out some fussy and pedantic things , there are plenty of examples to count out. There are still no arms render on screen , while the driver drives the car, and its feels like a vehicle move its own.
The most impressive things according to me is that the Battlefield : Bad Company 2 is a very flexible multiplayer game. The entire system allows you to choose what your approach to battle will be. Its allow you to choose your own map and exactly what kind of game you want to play.
Battlefield is an action packed, fantastic, awesome, and explosive game. The multiplayer option of that game is just like a bonus for those who want to play multiplayer games. This game is right choice for those. This game is also very flexible as an online shooter and allows you many features as an competitor.
If you want enjoyment and spend your money on purchasing game. This game is only for you. “Boole to Mast Game hai” .

Mass Effect 2
9 / 10
Platform : PC | XBox 360
Publisher : Electronic Arts
Developer : Bioware Edmonton
Mass Effect 2 is one of my favorite game . I am sure you will be tie up with the game from the first scene. Mass effect 2 is a Role playing game, developed by Bioware using unreal Engine 3.5.
In Mass Effect 2 you continue your journey with Commander Shepard and his mission is to stop the Reapers form destroying the universe.
The characters of Mass Effect 2 are more graphically and technically detailed. In the first part of Mass Effect , Commander Shepard had only 20 animations, but in Mass Effect 2 , the character has over 200. As comparison with the Mass Effect , in which there were only four weapons types, in Mass Effect 2 has nineteen different kinds of weapons. And the pistol has been replaced with the heavy pistol.
The story of Mass Effect 2 is a strength of this game. If you ever have played the Mass Effect 1 to the end and still you have your save data. This game will import your character and all decisions you made. If you didn’t play Mass Effect 1 and you are not able to import a character “ no need to worry” , this game is still good for playing. The Bioware takes some good and efficient decisions from Mass Effect 1 for you.
The music , the sound and the voices are superb. The voice acting of every character seems realistic.
Overall the game is fantastic and if you continuing over from Mass Effect 1 you will feel that you are the part of this universe and your decisions affects the story. Mass Effect 2 consist nice balance between gameplay , story and strategy.
The graphics of Mass Effect 2 are looks more rocking in Xbox 360, so I would suggest you to play this game on Xbox.

Bioshok 2
9.5 / 10
Platform : PC | XBox 360 | PS3
Publisher : 2K Games
Developer : 2K Marines
The Good
Rapture looks brilliant again.
Storytelling is rewarding , multiplayer is a blast.
Improved control mechanics, lots of gameplay variety.
The Bad
Looks quite familiar to its precursor.
If not decades but definately Bioshok 2 is one of the finnest game we have seen in recent years.
When Bioshock came first, the Rapture city blew away the minds of all but this time it looks bit familiar. Still Bioshock 2 is action packed fun ride which never gets old. Every single element is improved from its precursor, from graphics to gameplay, storytelling to cut scenes, everything looks bloody brilliant. Story starts where the first part lefts. You get to play as Big Daddy and this time you can adopt Little sister which guides you as the story progress. You rely on Little Sister for armor, upgrades and other bonuses. Variety of guns make combat really fun. But what makes the combats brutal and make it stands aside from other games is the challenging AI which compliments the level designing. Level designing looks nothing different but it comes into play when you gets engaged in a combat. While engaged you can throw fireballs, set enemy on fire and what’s new, you can even throw bees. Abilities like faster movement speed, Immunity and quieter footsteps makes things more interesting. As the game proceeds AI becomes more smart, more angry and more powerful but no worries special abilities and weapon upgrades keep things running smooth. The best part is that the game allows you to be a hero and an assassin at the same time. You can blindly rush into the enemies firing at them or you can be stealthier and attack your enemies unaware. AI is smart and challenging which makes it a lot of fun. Rapture city looks beautiful and creepy environment compliments the game. After 11-14 hours of single player gameplay, Bioshock 2‘s multiplayer is what will keep you engaged with the game for ages. There is a variety of multiplayer modes which are conceptually different but makes sense. Beside all the multiplayer modes I like “Capture the Sister” the most. It’s like capture the flag, which includes carrying a crying little angry sister for as long as possible and is kidnapped by the other player after you are killed. Its fast paced and reminds me of the old Quake III multiplayer mode. Original Bioshock set such standards which are hard to achieve even for its sequel. If I would have compared the sequel to the original one then the score would have been lower instead of what’s now. But as I always say every good game is special and deserves the respect so why ruins the fun by carrying out foolish comparisons. These are my final words guys, whoever you are whatever you does Bioshock 2 has something for every one even if not decades but one of the finest game seen in recent years.

Aliens Vs Predator
5 / 10
Platform : PC | XBox 360 | PS3
Publisher : SEGA
Developer : Rebellion
The Good
Multiplayer mode, 3 different campaigns to play with, killing satisfaction.
The Bad
Non-Appealing plastic textures, boring, technically buggy.
The worst Controls, Gameplay.
AVP is not worth spending money. Go find some other game.
After huge success of Bayonetta, Sega is back with AVP but this time it’s bit different. Sega’s Superhyped Alien vs Predator was released on 16 Feb 2010 which turned out to be a huge disappointment. The game has three single player campaigns to start with Aliens, Predators and Marines. Playing with marines is like playing any other FPS game where an invisible voice guides you and killing zombies becomes a habit as the game progress. Nothing different and its boring too. Playing as Aliens or Predators is somehow a bit fun but also the worst part of the game. The fun ends even before it begins, thanks to choppy controls. Technical issues and poor gameplay make things even worse. Predator’s Stealth ability is fun but gets repetitive. Playing as Aliens is somehow enjoyable and killing marine guys by hiding & jumping from trees is satisfying. Multiplayer is a bit fun and those 5 are just for the multiplayer. Mixing all the three and fighting is good and that’s it. There is nothing in the game to talk about. It doesn’t stand a chance in a crowded gaming world and believe me, it’s not worth playing. That’s it guys. Alien vs Predator deserves this much & It’s not even worth reviewing. I hate writing reviews for such games. That’s why review size resembles the game score.
