Half Life2/Lost Coast version

This version is actually made for give information about game making. I didnt know about it until I downlad it. There are link-like things in the game and when you activate them, people who are working in Valve, who made Half Life series talk and give you information about how they did the game but thats not the only thing because there is also a scenerio in the game.
Our character, Gordon Freeman finds himself near a beach,underneath a monastery, in a small town called St. Olga. A fisherman recognizes Gordon and directs him to the monastery, which the enemy Combine are using as a platform to launch artillery
 shells filled with headcrabs into the town. The fisherman opens a gate, allowing the player to proceed, and awaits Gordon's return.

As Gordon proceeds up the cliffside to the monastery, he encounters heavy resistance 

from Combine soldiers who rappel down the cliff to try to stop him. Gordon fights his way up, 
enters the monastery's sanctuary, and disables the artillery launcher. This alerts nearby soldiers, who assault the sanctuary in force, while a Combine attack helicopter arrives to support the soldiers.
 After defeating the soldiers in the courtyard, Gordon moves to scaffolding over the side of the cliff and destroys the helicopter withRPGs. The helicopter crashes into the scaffolding, freeing up a path to a crude
 elevator which lowers Gordon back down to the pier. The fisherman congratulates Freeman on his success, invites him to a feast in St. Olga,and the screen fades out. 

Call of Duty: Black OPS

Today’s big announcement came in the form of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. With these announcements usually come large amounts of information and the same holds true with this title.
Mark Lamia said:


“There’s over 250 people at Treyarch, but there’s over 300 people working on the project,”

“We do have contractors and test teams that aren’t part of the company. Those others aren’t actually employees of Treyarch. But there’s over 300 people working on the game right now.”
Lamia also spoke about Activision and the Black ops ' release date:
“We actually do open up anything from our side that they can have access to, but they have their own team with their own creative work,” Lamia said of Activision’s internal studios.
“Whether it’s inside of the Call of Duty franchise or, frankly, some other area of essential technology or whatever other area – if there are things that teams can access or leverage, then they do."
“For example, the facial rig and the performance capture was something that we worked with Activision’s central technology team on quite a bit. There’s a lot of learnings there that can be applied to other teams.”


Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is slated for a November 13th, 2012 release.

Sniper Elite V2

Sniper Elite s standout feature is the slow motion, x-ray kill shots.When you’re not trotting around in third-person, you’re staring down your scope.  Holding your breath are all part of the game’s entertaining attention to detail. If that level of realism isn’t appealing, you can adjust the settings if you prefer the bullet to land in the middle of your crosshairs each time. My main complaint with sniping is the rare occasion when your bullet is deflected by an invisible barrier. Tech issues like this aren’t good.Sniper Elite V2 allows you to be the gunman you want to be, whether that means crawling on your belly and silently taking down guards . Enemy line of sight is wildly inconsistent. Too many attempts to be stealthy were shattered by eagle-eyed enemy soldiers. My heart broke when I realized all the time I spent scanning empty windows for enemy snipers was a waste the game seems to mainly spawn in enemy marksmen after you’re discovered.

Call of Duty

Rezurraction is the fourth entry into Call of Duty's long line of DLC map packs and is most likely the last one before Activision's next most talked about first-person shooter. Rezurrection revives four old Zombie maps from World at War, pits you against legions of undead in an all-new Zombie map called Moon.
 For multiplayer players, the updated old maps probably won't be as titillating as the new Zombie map is for Zombie devotees.Moon transplants the tried-and-true Zombie formula onto a space station on the moon. Those myths about life not existing on the moon are only half true; undead exist on the moon. Lots and lots of undead.
 The low gravity, the lack of oxygen, new enemies and an elaborate.

CS: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE is coming!

Counter Strike is propably one of the most successful games. It was the most played game in 2008 according to GameSpy and as of August 2011, the Counter-Strike franchise has sold over 25 million units. Counter-Strike is a legend for FPS players and I'm sure that they will be happy to hear that a new version is coming out in 2012.

As you know Counter-Strike is a First Person Shooter game that players join either the terrorist team, counter-terrorist team or a spectator. There are two types of game modes. Planting bombs or securing hostiles. In the first mode terrorist team aims at planting a bomb to one of the bomb sides while opposing team is trying to stop them. The second mode is about defending, The terrorist team defends the place while c-terrorists are securing the hostiles. In short, it is a very classic game between the good and bad men. There is no scenario in the game because there is no campaign mode in the game so it is designed for multiplayer game only and I believe that it is one of the reasons Counter-Strike is successful. Multiplaying become popular after this game and all FPS games were doing multiplayer mode in the company of campaign mode. "Call of Duty" by Activision or "Battlefield" by EA Games are examples for that.

Finally I am sure that CS players are all happy about this new because the new version is coming after a long break. They are forced to play Modern Warfare and Bad Company but now the suffering is over!

Violent Video Games

     This is my first post so I want it to be beneficial. I am not going to talk about a new game or something.
 I want to talk about video games and their effects on players ( especially on teens).
    

• Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (5.20 million)
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (4.8 million approximately; 3.531 million in the US,244.578 and 25.268 The Best in Japan, at least 1 million in UK)
• Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (3.8 million)
• Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (3.8 million)
• MotorStorm (3.31 million)
• Call of Duty: Black Ops (3.269 million units approximately; 3.094 million in the US, 175,813 in Japan)
• Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (3 million 1.97 million approximately; 1.076 million in the US, 706,461 in Japan, 200,000 in UK)

     Here is an information from wikipedia that shows the top-selling games for Playstation. As you can see there are many violent  games in the list and we all know that ultra-violent ones are always the top-sellers. From an article of Dr. Phil I learned that there is an avarage of 13 hours of game-playing for boys and 5 hours for girls per week. Think about a child shooting people 13 hours per week. It is normal that the game's reality will take place in child's reality and he is going to consider in-game things as normal. "A recent content analysis by the research organization Children Now shows that a majority of video games include violence and about half of the violent incidents would result in serious injuries or death in the "real" world."

According the American Psychological Association, violent video games can increase children's aggression and another danger is that there are no conseqences in video games because instead of going to jail for doing bad things there are lots of games that you earn points by doing bad things like shooting or stealing. Finally we should care about these facts because we all know children and we shouldn't let them play games which are going to harm them and we should teach them that there is a reason for having age-limits on the games.
