The DOOM of Sword Slashing

After I played Prince Of Persia Warrior Within I never thought that I would be playing a shooting game, but DOOM 3 came to me as a gift from my good old friend.

I had got my new computer 3 days ago and wanted to buy POPWW so that i can again slash some sand demons. But I had no money left to buy the game. When my friend heard that I have got a new computer with high end configuration, he gifted me with DOOM 3.

When I received the game I was disappointed and thought he should have gifted me POPWW, he should have known what my favorite game is. By that time I had completed POPWW just three times on my other friend's PS2.

I wanted POPWW be the first game on my computer, but ok lets us what DOOM has. I installed it and stated the play and hey the game stuck!!! I then had to decrease the graphics details of the game and restart the computer.

I started the game again. And was shocked to have a game with the graphics more than POPWW. I was upset as i thought the UBISOFT people should have done more for the graphics of the game.

So, I started to play the game and felt like I am aimlessly playing the game. The game then actually started when I go to the communications lab. Thereafter the game was really great and it was surprisingly really very horrifying, which I really liked.

It was exam time and even then it gripped me so hard that I not only studied less but I at times even skipped my food for the game.

The game is really good at graphics and sound. I can’t imagine what it would look like in highest graphics. The game is about a marine commander who is posted on mars and there starts the adventure. He at first is given a job to search for a scientist in the old communications lab and then what happens there marks the start of a really long fight for life. The demons form hell have escaped through a hell hole and they have been busy creating another hell on mars.

Our hero has to undo the mistake by closing the hell hole. In this horrifying mission he gets a variety of weapons from hand-gun, chain-saw, rocket launcher, plasma gun, BFG (I don’t know what it actually means but many gamers call it “The Big F**king Gun”). My personal favourite being shot-gun.

There is also a special weapon named the soul cube and it is the king of all but it needs to be charged before firing and the charging requires five souls of enemies.

This game made me think that it is the DOOM of sword slashing games. But no, this is a good game and I really liked to play it but my favourite game would still be POPWW because of the free form fighting and awesome storyline.

For me DOOM has zero replay value and after this game I played POPWW again and completed it about 8 times.

Anyway, overall this game can be safely included in the list of THE GAME THAT ROCKS.

The Mayor of Utopia and the Problem with Freedom

As a long-time fan of management games like SimCity, Cities: Skylines, and Anno, I often find myself looking at real-world maps and imagining how I would plan a city. It's a creative exercise, a way to build worlds in my mind. Recently, one of these thought experiments took a strange and contemplative turn. ​It started, as it always does, with a grand vision. I imagined a new city, an urban utopia. In my city, the infrastructure would be flawless and all resources would be absolute. Residents would enjoy free electricity, free food, free healthcare, and free education. Wide, spacious lanes would make driving a pleasure, not a chore. As the benevolent mayor of this perfect city, I'd also ensure my citizens were well-entertained, in the way they wanted and when they wanted. For myself, I pictured a simple pleasure: driving up to the top of the hill next to the river on quiet nights to stargaze while listening to old Bollywood songs. ​As the city grew in my mind, I thought, "...

Mixing Passions: Game Testing and Driving Simulators

I recently had a chance to mix two of my passions together: driving simulators and game testing. I have been playing driving simulators for a while now, always wondering how closely they can simulate not just real-life scenarios, but everything down to the limits of physics. While researching this, I came across few concepts that are common in simulator studios, but have been absent in conventional game studios.  It is important to understand that a simulator should primarily be seen as a training tool rather than just an entertaining experience. Keeping that in mind, I read about training scars. Training Scar Let me explain. A training scar is an incorrect or bad habit that a person develops during training that can make an action inadequate, inefficient, or in some cases, counterproductive. This is easy to develop while working with simulators, as there are several aspects where the simulator does not completely replicate real life. One training scar that come...
