My Life Can Be A Game .... part 5


Finally the last game. For the last game it will be based on the hot weather these few days, it had made most of us sweat like hell. So in this game the player have to place cooling systems along the path "we" walk pass and make sure that our body temperature is not too hot or else we will melt just like an ice cube. In this game the player will be given a few items like fan air-con and many other things to make one feel cooling. His/her mission is to make sure they place the right item at the right place to make the place cooling for "us" to walk pass, if they are not able to do so, we will melt!

My life Can Be A Game .... part 3


Everyday we have to eat, however sometimes we don't have enough time to enjoy our meals. So we have to eat fast in order to SURVIVE. As we have to eat extremely fast at times so we don't know know what we are actually eating. So in this mini game, the player has to react to the foods that are moving towards him/her. For things that are food, the player can press the DOWN ARROW to eat it and if it isn't edible the player have to press the RIGHT ARROW to throw away. To win, you have to fill up the FOOD BAR in a limited time and also not eating too much of the inedible food which will cause sickness, and it is equal to GAME OVER. So in this game you have to be observant and make sure you press the right button at the right time.

My life Can Be A Game .... part 2


Everyday we must queue for everything we do, things like taking MRT in the morning and even buying food.So this game will be based on cutting queue. Even though cutting queue isn't a good time to do, but it is a good way to help you get to the front of the queue super fast. They\ game will be played in different areas based on the level, places like cinema, food court and many many more. The main goal will be getting to the front of the queue in the shortest possible time without being caught. In this mini game, the player has to press the SPACE BAR anytime that he/she thinks that he/she will not be caught. Times like the person in front of you , the guard or even demons are not watching. If you press the SPACE BAR at the wrong time, you will get caught or even be eaten by demons. For a more entertaining gameplay to the game there will be items that the player can buy, things like sleeping powder(people in the queue will fall asleep for a short time), demons repeller (chase away all the demons in the area) and false alarm (temporarily sent guards to other places). This items are to be purchased and coins can be earned by completing each level. The faster you complete the level the more coins you will get.

My life Can Be A Game .... part 1


There are times that I really couldn't fall asleep at night... So i think that i can use this is part of my life to make a game.In this mini game, the player have to make a herd of sheep jump over the fence successfully to put ME to sleep. The higher the combo rate, the faster MY SLEEP BAR will be filled and the faster I go to sleep and the higher score the player will get. So all the player have to do will be pressing THE SPACE BAR when the sheep reaches the jumping zone. For a exciting gameplay, the difficulty of the game will increase along with the level (definitely). For each level increased the smaller the jumping area will be and the number of sheep in the herd will be increased too. For a more thrilling gameplay, wolfs will be added into the herd at a random sequence. When the player come across a wolf, he/she would have to do is not to press THE SPACE BAR and let the wolf across the fence. If he/she let the wolf get across, the SLEEP BAR will be emptied by 1/8 and if it didn't reach the expected target... MISSION FAIL! As the level increases, more wolfs will be added into the herd and the more tricky the wolfs will become, dressing themselves more like sheep. Making the player more and more confused.

Dota Sucks.... P.S. at first....

Defense of the Ancients (commonly known as DotA) is a custom scenario for the real-time strategy video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for StarCraft. The objective of the scenario is for each team to destroy the opponents' Ancients, heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". As in role-playing games, players level up their heroes and use gold to buy equipment during the mission. However to me it is like a bunch of low IQ people trying to destroy the opponent's base. WHATS FUN ABOUT THAT!!! The heros of DOTA are also just simply dumb and useless, moving around brainlessly and using such dramatic skills trying to kill the other heros. However with some "encouragements" from my friends to play this game, I started to realise how cute the DOTA character actually are and also understanding more about this most popular "free, non-supported game mod in the world". Playing the game for several weeks i realized that this game is actually not made for people with low IQs but people with high IQs. In this strategy game, one need to plan him/herself on how he/she should use the skill and when. They also need to know what item they should buy for their Hero to make sure that their ability is used to the maximum or even beyond maximum. I also found the Heros are changing from dumb and useless into super cool characters that uses really wonderful skills that allows them to achieve many different types of kill sounds for your heros. Kill sounds like Monsterkill and many many more can be achieved by killing a certain number of Heros in certain way. You can hear all the kill sounds by clicking here >>>><<<<. Personally i found this sound is one of the reasons that i change my views towards DOTA. After being able to achieve this kill sounds i felt quite fun...

For conclusion i think DOTA is a amazing strategy game with quite a good graphics. They also update their maps frequently, making the games better and BUGs free. Every now or then they add in new items and Heros to the game, making it more interesting. Anyway it is a game created by the Blizzard Entertainment so what more can you expect the game(the positive way, not negative). Also this is what I feel about DOTA after I like it...

PATAPON 2


Patapon 2 is a video game by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is a game that needs you to controls in a manner similar to rhythm games. In the game you will be the GOD of the patapons and the 4 buttons on your psp will be "cursed" by 4 different ancient instruments of the patapons. The 4 buttons square, circle, cross and triangle will be making the sound 'pata', 'pon', 'don' and 'chaka' respectively. Patapon 2 is a sequel to Patapon.The story continues from the previous Patapon game where in the boat the Patapon have constructed has been completed and they have set sail for new lands. On their way there, they are attacked by a kraken who easily defeats them and sends the Patapon into the ocean to be washed ashore in a strange new land where they come up against another tribe called the Karmen. Now it is a battle to defeat the Karmen and find out who is their true enemy. Early in the game, the Patapons discover a mysterious "hero" character, who wears a mask which boosts his abilities. He has lost his memory, and his true identity is hidden. Later, the Patapons fight against demons, who were summoned by the Karmen, and the "Dark One", who gave his soul to the demons for power. Gong the Hawkeye and his fellow Zigotons appear once more, to assist the Patapons against the Karmen. During the course of a game, the player learns of a legend, that the world was broken and the Patapons ruined because a Wakapon broke the "World Egg". At the second to last stage, the player finds out that the Hero character was actually the wakapon who broke the egg, and that the Karmen tribe was the Patapon's ancestral enemy. The Patapon Princess was trapped inside an egg by the leader of the Karmens, who plans to make the princess his queen. After defeating the final demon the Karmens summon, the Patapons journey to the end of a bridge, and find and break an egg. Dazzled by the light that emerges from the egg, the Patapons assume they have found Earthend. However, the Patapon Princess emerges from the egg, compliments them on their job well done, and tells the Hero that he has a new task- to restore the world and find the true Earthend. At the end of the game, the Patapons are seen working with the Karmen and Zigotons to build a bridge

Hero

Different from Patapon, Patapon 2 added a new character called HERO(actually you can change his name to anything). He is a mysterious patapon wearing mask which boosts his abilities. He has lost his memory, and his true identity is hidden. In the game the HERO can adopt the personal of any class of their choice with a powerful special attack to deliver to unsuspecting foes. The player can change their masks for different stats, like fire deal increase, resistance or attack speed. They also can be revived but takes longer to revive with each death. In addition, if Hatapon is alone while the Heropon is reviving, the mission ends. Each HERO also has a special move that can only be activated in fever mode and must have perfect beat.

Hatapon

This Patapon is the first one available to the game, and functions to rally the army together. Holds high the Patapon banner and does not participate in combat. His death, or the death of every Patapon except him, results in mission failure.

Yaripon

Yaripon is a spear throwing Patapon. A Yaripon squad consists of 6 Yaripon and they are one of the initial unit type given to the player to control which is useful for both hunting and fighting. Their fever attack is a jumping spear throw that greatly increases the distance of the projectile while avoiding many enemy attacks.

Tatepon

Tatepons are axe wielding Patapon, they are equipped with axes/swords and shields and are primarily melee fighters and their squad consists of 6 Tatepon.. They are useless while hunting, as their attack range is negligible at best and scares off prey, however they are arguably the best defense Patapon units, as their shields can protect the entire army from projectile attack. While in fever mode, their shields increase in size and provide better protection.

Yumipon

Yumipons are archer Patapon. A Yumipon squad consists of 6 Yumipon. These Patapon have the largest attack range in the game (wind can increase and decrease the range of their attack depending on which way it is blowing) and are always placed in back of any army. They are extremely effective and can rain down arrows on enemies from afar and are vulnerable to fire. While in fever mode, they shoot three arrows every attack instead of one.

Kibapon

Kibapons are cavalry patapon.A Kibapon Squad consists of 3 Kibapon and they are equipped with horses and halberds. Kibapons deal heavy damage and knock back enemy troops. While relatively useless normally, they become faster and push back enemies with great power when in fever mode.

Dekapons

Dekapons are mace wielding patapon. A Dekapon squad consists of 3 Dekapon. These monstrous brutes are extremely large and bulky, and as a result do massive damage to their targets. Unfortunately, Dekapons are extremely slow, which tempers their awesome might. While in fever mode, Dekapon have a ground pound attack that stuns enemies.

Megapons

Megapons are horn playing patapon. They are taller than most other Patapons, and carry around massive horns.A Megapon squad consists of 3 Megapon, to attack, they play their horns and the sound waves that are projected take on physical form, flying at the enemy and causing damage. Megapons have a variety of attacks, but the two most utilized are a standard wave of 3 blue notes that bounce off of and around the enemy, causing ricochet damage, and a massive red note only used during fever mode or after using the charge.

Toripon, Robopon and Mahopon
There are also a few squads that Patapon 2 has and Patapon don't, they are the the bird-riding Toripon, the Robopon with huge fists, and the magic using Mahopon provide fresh attack types and original personalitie.

My opinions toward Patapon 2

I personally thinks that Patapon 2 is much more successful than Patapon. Patapon 2 has added in a lot of different functions that Patapon don't have and Patapons provides. In Patapon, the type of patapons you wanted to create is somehow based on the material you provide or sometimes luck. However for Patapon 2 you can control what type of patapons use want to create and level them up to the class and level you wanted.


For Patapon 2, the gameplay is somehow much more earier than Patapon with the help of the HERO of cause. The storyline is no doubt very quite interesting, working with tiny little cute warrior, leveling them up by going for missions and getting different types of material to make legendary weapons and preparing for what it takes to defeat the FINAL BOSS.


When you are finally going to be able to watch the ending, you felt all the time you had spent on this game is wealth playing other all. The graphics are good, the sound effect is diam good(after all it is a rhythm game), the warrior are cute... so are the enemy and monsters. And guess what, its really wealth a try. now with Patapon 3 out, its really a good time to play Patapon and Patapon 2 again if you had played it before to refresh your memory and have some practice before throwing yourself into another great game!
