Review

Already there are how many game shooter that is circulating in the market? Too much. Now growing again a third-person shooter into a number of game shooter, outstanding game titled Spec Ops: The Line. Does that makes this game different from other shooter games? Six months ago, vanished from the map because of the Dubai hit by storms of sand is great. Many lives were lost, including American troops sent to evacuate the city. Now, the city of Dubai has been destroyed, and we as leader the Delta Recon Team named Martin Walker (voiced by Nolan North), should go into town and look for people who still survived.

Outline, Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person shooter video game which is pretty standard. We can carry two weapons that could fit snugly with the way picking up from the battlefield, three types of grenades, and accompanied by two teams. We can also hide in cover, blind shooting, ordered the two children we are fruit, Lugo (sniper) and Adams (heavy) as well as doing melee. But even though this game is totally standard as a third-person shooter, Spec Ops: setting The Line, namely the city of Dubai, which has already destroyed by sand storms bring different characteristics. In some parts of the game, we're going to sand, buffeted by storms and therefore we can also destroy the environment such as sand or glass window guards to kill the enemy.

AI is actually quite clever friend second, they could slaughter the enemy and help us, although sometimes they like to stand in front of without cover though bullets fly everywhere. To be sure, we could ask you please to them to kill enemies is difficult we shoot, and usually they are able to do so. Spec Ops: The Line has a dark story. Throughout the game, we'll see how mengerikannya war, what choices are to be made on the battlefield, and how the consequences on our hearts. Are we going to put an end to his life that is dying, or let the tormented life?

No wonder if the story is very deep, because the story Spec Ops: The Line is an adaptation of Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad as well as adaptation of the film Apocalypse Now, but his settings created in the modern city of Dubai. Graphically, Spec Ops: The Line made is pretty cool, we can see how the city of Dubai after buildings collapsed, skyscrapers have been ravaged, and character interaction to the environment is pretty good, e.g. hanging on zipline and so on. We will also be buffeted by sand storms that will be by blocking the view.

As the war film, character voice acting is very good. There are even some dialogue that sometimes makes us laugh, between fourth wall breaking by Walker or radio broadcast in Dubai that is similar to the sound in Portal 2 crank Weasley. Behind the story that was satisfactory, Spec Ops: The Line also features multiplayer which is pretty standard, of course with special effects of sand storm in Dubai. In multiplayer, as ever we can to unlock various new weapons, perk 's, new gear and so on. We could do a deathmatch 8 players in a map. Oh, very fun.

Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (GRFS) is the latest Minister to Ghost Recon franchise owned by Ubisoft. The Game was first announced in December 2009, but due to continue in the retreat for several times and finally the game was released on May 22, 2012. Whether his resignation resulted in a good or a bad game? Let us refer to reviews here.

Ghost Recon: Alpha is a short film that his story is continued by GRFS. A Team of four people who were assigned to stop embezzlement of firearms. Search this operation bring Ghost Team around to different countries. GRFS is third-person cover-based shooter. However, as soon as you use aiming sight features, the camera turned out to be the first person that you can get precision steeper.

System cover in GRFS quite well. some of the cover can be destroyed in part, it forces you to place pinda. To move to the next cover was pretty easy, you just need to choose the cover you want, and then hold down the cover up to the venue. GRFS also offers system suppressed. If you are in cover and firing enemy machine gun, you are going to increasingly distance vision and small camera will sway. You will have a hard time to shoot the enemy.

The settings of futuristic GRFS have advantages in the form of a lot of these have sophisticated tools such as active camouflage that will make you a stealth drone, to see the situation before entering, and sensors to detect enemy grenade position although there is behind the wall. Each of these tools really help you in pursuing the mission. In addition to tools that futuristic, GRFS also offers a feature called Gunsmith. In Gunsmith you can mengkostumisasi weapons exist to its full potential. You can full your weapons ranging from paint guns to trigger weapons.

The Galaxy is threatened by the Reapers, Commander Shepard can save the whole galaxy? Continuing the story of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, the story this time starting with a massive assault to Earth, Shepard Reapers are tasked to attack behind the Reapers and neutralize it.

Shepard had to convince the Council that the entire galaxy must unite to defeat Reapers. But of course it is not as easy as we imagine. As always, political intrigue, and hinder the negotiating Council that only Shepard who could unite all races to be able to have a chance against the Reapers in gathering allies while building assets for the end of war war II later.

Like Mass Effect 2 imports and exports can save files Mass Effect 1, we can save the file imports and exports Mass Effect 2 us to Mass Effect 3. If from Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2, Shepard was killed by Collectors and then revived by Cerberus so he could replace the face lightly, on Mass Effect 3, we can change the face of Shepard suddenly and without explanation. So if a sudden change hair into Shepard purple hues, we face Chelsea-Barcelona until not shaped and so forth, others still will assume he is a Shepard.

Visually, Mass Effect 3 is pretty riveting, spellbinding visuals and more from Mass Effect 2. Moreover, in terms of voice acting, which retained its quality by BioWare. Character models are also seen as a considerable improvement compared to Mass Effect 2. There are a few changes to the gameplay were made by BioWare on Mass Effect 3.

One of them is the ability to choose whether we would play games without choosing dialogue (Action), with the action as easy as possible (Story), or is played exactly like Mass Effect 2 (Role Playing). It seems strange, because the play Mass Effect 3 is supposed to be is the veteran of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. They certainly want the gameplay to match the previous game: Visceral Combat and Big Decision. The choice of mode like this makes no sense.

Review

Sniper Elite V2 is a game that revolves around TPS (Third-Person Shooter). This Game is the output of the Rebellion which is a remake of their earlier game, Sniper Elite. In this game took the same location and time of the game Sniper elite, that sets it apart is the main character of Sniper Elite V2 is an OSS officer assigned to stop the Nazi rocket program V2.  

Sniper Elite V2 tells the adventures of Karl Fariburne, an OSS officer in charge to stop the rocket program V2 in order not to fall into the hands of the Nazis or Soviets. The story in this game begins with a tutorial mission where Fairburne is assigned to assassinate Major General Hans Von Germany, namely Eisenberg to be defected to the Soviet Union.  

Sniper Elite V2 have more or less the same gameplay with Sniper Elite, the difference is only in the addition of a new feature that is named X-Ray Kill Cam. This new feature will show the Kill Cam with views of x-ray on the shot. The stuff that makes this interesting new features is being able to set how often the Kill Cam it will appear. In a normal setting, Kill Cam which appears not too often and this makes the game is not boring because you get to see a lot of variations. In addition organ or body part that shot will be visible, for example, is on a break-up when doing a Headshot to the eye, then you will be able to see those eyes broke.

Besides the interesting thing about this game is the pengaturah level of difficulty. Just as the game pedahulunya, the difficulty level of each choice will change the perluru line a shot. On the level of difficulty as cadet, the bullet is not affected by gravity. While at the level of difficulty, the bullet will be influenced marksman by gravity and to level kesulitah sniper elite, the bullet will be affected by gravity and wind. Thus you can also change the difficulty level to custom where you can set how the AI behavior of the enemy, the enemy position indicators, and so on.

Main weapon carried by Fairburne is a sniper rifle. In addition to the main weapon that he also carried automatic rifle and a hand gun. Because it was a sniper Fairburne, he brings a lot of bullets to rifles, whereas Automatic rifle which he admits there is only 1 magasin. In addition to firearms, Fairburne also carry some items like rocks to provoke the enemy's attention, trip mine to put up traps at the door, land mine to trap on the road, and grenades. 

Although many of the latest features that are interesting, but there is a shortage of one of them which is the folder that is somewhat linear. Maybe this problem is no stranger to the game lately. Unfortunately the linear folder it makes Elite Sniper V2 somewhat less fun. You will encounter trouble if you want to bypass the enemy without having to kill them. Inevitably, you should kill all the enemies on the map in order to forward passes folder. In addition, the thing that disappoints again is there is no change in behavior on AI. Once the enemy AI find player, they will continue to be in condition even though we've moved alerts position to remove the traces.

Sniper Elite V2 also features a multiplayer mode, the same as the previous game. Multiplayer Mode has to offer is his team deathmatch and there is also a co-op mode Mode team deathmatch. do not differ greatly with those on other games. Of particular interest is the co-op mode where one player becomes a sniper and the other player becomes the spotter. If you are tired of playing the campaign or multiplayer mode, this game offers a challenge. There are a variety of modes that you can play. One mode that is kill tally, where you must survive wave of attacks enemies with the number of kill as many as possible. There are also other modes such as the Führer Assasinate where you must kill Hitler himself. Unfortunately this mode is the DLC.
