Gears of War



Its a Xbox 360 title that was so famous for it gameplay that it got ported over to the pc. The story put you in the shoes of Marcus Fenix who is in jail for his treasonous behavior. But thats what the army need him for as the locust (A alien life form) has taken over the earth so they get him out and put him back to action again. With a wide range of weapons and a mounted chainsaw, don’t be afraid to get too close for comfort. But I recommend that you have a high graded pc to run it as the graphic are very smooth. I would also like to warn about running and going to cover is spacebar, which would be a bit weird but it has multiplayer! Overall the game a great game which can be enjoy by those people who like violent games

Maplestory



Maplestory is an cute and addictive 2d game, where you have to kill monsters to get more experience points, which are needed for gaining levels. However, that is not the only feature of the game. Here are some examples:

Characters.


When Maplestory came out, there was the only type of characters called Adventurers. In the Adventurers, there were the Warriors, Magicians, Thieves, & Bowmen. However, MapleStory began releasing new classes some time after. Pirates were added to the Adventurers, and after that, Knights of Cygnus were created, which was actually a newer and better version of the Adventurers. They were named as Soul Master(Warrior), Flame Wizard(Magician; Fire/Poison Wizard), Night Walker(Thief), Wind Breaker(Bowman) and Striker(Pirate). After, Aran was released, which uses Pole Arm as his/her weapon. The newest release, in June 2010, is Evan, which is a Magician, but attacks monsters through his/her Onyx Dragon, and has different skills differing from all Magician classes.


Party Quests.


There are many party quests to choose from, which are for different level ranges. For example, Henesys Party Quest, which is for level 10 onwards. The mission is to plant all the seeds at the correct places, and then protect the Moon Bunny from the monsters flying around.


And there is the ever-popular Kerning City Party Quest, also known as Kerning PQ or KPQ. There are 5 stages and a bonus stage at the end, which uses the amount of remaining time you have left.


Lastly, there is the Monster Carnival, in which you have 10 minutes to kill as many monsters as possible with a party with the minimum of 2 people and get Carnival Points and Maple Coins. The party with the most Carnival Points will win and get EXP. Maple Coins is used to trade for items with Spielgemann, the Monster Carnival Non-playing Character. Here's the catch: Even if you die there, your exp won't decrease! And, you don't have to use potions there because monsters you kill drop potions!

(P.S. One of them is me, and the other is my friend :p )


Parties & Guilds.

A party is a group where you team with other players, and the exp you receive from the monsters you kill are shared with the other members, as well as mesos (maplestory money). Parties are needed to be created in order to enter Party Quests.
A guild is like a party, except that its title appears under your name and that there are "Jr. Masters" which can invite others to join the guild. There is a Guild Party Quest which is located deep in Perion, an area in MapleStory.



I won't say too much as it will spoil the fun for you. Go try it out! Download at maple.playpark.net, create account at https://passport.asiasoft.net.

Dj Hero


The game is the game that allow you to scratch your way through 102 songs, 93 of them are original songs ,so you would hear fresh music that you have never heard before.if you buy the set you would have a turntable and the game. You can play the tutor first so that you would get into the mood of playing the game. But it is actually a fun game which allows you to do stuff like scratching (putting your hand on the disc and move it), cross fading (Turning a knot) and if you get the all the blue lighted notes, you get to fill up you star power which when in use will give you double the score. In short it is a good game and should be bought by all Xbox 360 or guitar hero fans.

Plants vs. Zombies


Many people probably know about this popular game that PopCap Games has created, the cute yet somewhat gruesome game, Plants vs. Zombies. This tower defence game has earned much praise, including gaining 88/100 from Metacritic and 89.5% from GameRankings. What makes this games so addicting anyway?

Plants vs. Zombie is a tower defence game. No, not the type with long windy roads. The field is a five or six by nine square lawn where the zombies come from somewhere at the right. You plant your plants on the field and the zombies slowly walk over and devour any plant on their way. Your plants fight back with peashooters shooting peas, potato mines that plant themselves in the ground and wait for the right time to blow up under the zombies’ feet. They don’t just attack; sunflowers give out sun (what that is needed to plant your plants) and the walnut family protects your plants.

There’s also interesting audio, cute graphics and the other mini-games which are completely addicting. The many mini-games provide a relief from the continuous zombie waves (not meaning that there aren’t any zombies there…).

There are even more reasons why you should play the game, but I won’t reveal them. It’ll spoil your fun that way. Have fun trying the trial on PopCap or watching the teaser on YouTube. If you really like it, you can purchase for a low $20!
