EA SPORTS-It’s in the game

•September 2, 2007 • Leave a Comment

After this famous tagline of their’s , today I saw the demo of a new soccer freak virtual toy from EA.FIFA 08 , it was called . Soooo, the game had a better face this time (Obviously, the players I mean).Previously they looked like “ZOMBIES” from Michael Jackson’s “THRILLER” who had freshly woken up from their graves and had accidentally run into the football stadium , but this time atleast they looked like they had consulted Jacko’s plastic surgeon for some makeover on their way to the the stadium . Now with the AI engine integrated in it , the players react authentically and are placed very systematically and strategiaclly by the computer itself . As far as the demo is concerned ,only the kick-off mode is available and there are seven leagues with around 120 players recreated with breathtaking realistic face structures and renderings.Although the demo has nothing much to boast about , I felt the game was better than the previous versions for obvious reasons. So the soccer fans better get ready for an unbeatable gaming experience with 620 licensed teams , 30 official leagues and 15,000 players to hang out with this October ………….

Another installment of World War (II)

You are Boyd Travers from the 82nd Airborne division who has already jumped from the plane and has given his fate into your hands . Well you can move your parachute in whichever direction you want to, but the time is so scarce that by the time you come to know about the controls you’ve already botch-landed . Enemies start running crazily towards you as if you were Shah Rukh Khan shooting stunt sequences in Dhoom 3 and had accidentally landed into their Gore Camp . Anyway, you are given an option to select three “NEANDERTAL- AGED” guns >:P, so that you give a day’s time for the enemy to kill you because you are “reloading your gun”:-) .Reinforcements keep arriving through air helping you wherever you go.Though the demo is very small , it gave me a hint about the “full version” . The new “AI-Artificial Intelligence” engine has made the enemies more active to kick your ass as fast and as hard as they can . The sound tracks are also reasonably good ,but not better than the ones in previous MOHs. Overall , the game can be rated a 8.5/10 . Oh!!! and sorry , I forgot to tell you the name of the game……..Scroll down.

Oops…. something’s wrong

Ever wondered what the Microsoft’s new player’s name means?Well u’ll be scared to know that in Hebrew it means f**k.The respone for this name in Israel may knock down the sales of Zune.Well the software giant didn’t want it’s rival Apple to take over the market with it’s iPod, so with the “Better late than never” policy Microsoft launched Zune which is probably better than iPod in many aspects.It also has a bigger display screen compated to iPod and is also loaded with many features like WiFi , filesharing etc. which makes the iPod nervous .The Zune is priced at the same 249$ at which iPod is.The Zune is a bit hefty than the iPod but it is worth it.

There’s a new movie going to be there in the town about a villager who was the richest Indian ,wondering what I’m talking about..??Well the movie is named “GURU” which is in the pipeline for it’s release on the 22nd of Dec.Well this movie is definitely going to be a musical hit though we can’t still predict about the success of the story.Definitely a musical hit !!You must be wondering how am I so confident about the music? right..??Well the music is being composed by sensational music maestro “A.R.RAHMAN”.This movie is rumoured to be based on the life of late Dhurubhai Ambani.Well the third personality who has shaped the lyrics for the soothing music of A.R. RAHMAN is the man who calls himself the best scrap lyrics writer in the world, Gulzar.

Guru

The movie was shot in parts of Karnataka (Bagalkot,Badami etc.) and Maharashtra.The lead characters star Abhishek Bachan and the glam doll Aishwarya Rai.Well parts of the movie is scripted by Suhasini Mani Ratnam like where the hero and the heroine are in a village.I guess I’ve leaked a lot about the movie.So get ready for one more feather from Mani Ratnam’s cap.For those hungry hearts which can’t wait till the release digest these trailers

and one more here….
