World In Conflict

2008-09-06T09:33:00.009+08:00

Welcome to the Alternate year 1989When World War III becomes reality!

One of the PC hit RTS sequel, World In Conflict is no doubt one of the best RTS game
Russia Invade The United States surprisingly and its up to you to save the day.

World In Conflict doesn't play as building structure, recruiting armies..
Instead players calls in reinforcement to the battlefield

The Camera view is flexible in 540 degree xD

The Single Player Campaign is awesome, the cutscene and memorable moments
But Most of the time I play the Multiplayer mode, with AI bots
There is 4 class type for player to choose with:
Infantry (Troops and Soldiers)
Armor (Tanks)
Air (Helicopters)
Support (Artillery)

There are Super weapons aka Weapon of Mass Destruction
There are 3 Tactical Aid Support:
Reinforcement Support
Artillery Support
Air Support

And when all hell break loose..you'll call in a

Tactical Nuke! My Favorite @@

Video Review by Gamespot

OVERALL :
There's no problem starting the game
I set all the graphic detail to very low and it still enjoyable and the FPS i got is around 30, except when close in the gunfights and the nuke which cause FPS to drop but still playable =D
The game may crash occasionally, I have no idea whats the problem but i think it happen after i patch to the latest 1.0.0.9 version..weird @_@

Hellgate London

2008-08-26T13:50:00.013+08:00

Welcome to London..

..after being invaded by demons from hell that is O_O

Hellgate London is an Action Role-Playing game with medieval style meets futuristic technology. This game cane either be played in first person view or third person view.
There are 3 Faction and 6 Classes to choose from:-
1) Templar Faction
- Blademaster
- Guardian
2) Hunter Faction
- Marksman
- Engineer
3) Cabalist
- Envoker
- Summoner

Each classes have their unique skills, weapons and armors.

The texture and environment looks beautiful in some location like the British Museum but most of the places are corrupted, dark and hellish..

The maps and dungeon will change every time you revisit them. The customizable items and equipments are a lot.
You'll be hunting demons, doing quest while exploring throughout the locales in early levels. That's right, killing demons alone..well in the early game that is of course. Don't worry, you'll get surprise when you reach a part of the game O.-

There are mini games throughout some quest, one of them i encounter is the squad command. Commanding a troop and guide them to victory. That's where it become Real-Time Strategy style.

The Pride of my Blademaster

Action Video of Hellgate London

In-Game Video

OVERALL :
There's no problem starting the game.
I set all the graphic setting to medium and the FPS i get is around 25 indoor while 15 outdoor. The only place which cause the FPS to drop dramatically is during the Millennium Battle where soldiers and demons are waging war.
Make sure you:
Update your DirectX driver
Patch the Single player to version 1.2 (IT'S A MUST)

Far Cry

2008-08-20T17:02:00.003+08:00

Welcome to the Paradise

Nice to see, not nice to hang around

You play as a usual hero guy..
You woke up from consciousness and found yourself in a rusty shipwreck..
When you got out of the shipwreck, you see a very beautiful scene..
Tropical Island, Coconut trees, beach, clear sea waves..aka Paradise
Mercenaries, Gunfight, Explosion, Blood, Violence..aka Hell
Your Goal, find the woman and find a way to get out of this island while uncover the secret of the paradise tropical island

PROBLEM : When you start the game, you'll see blue texture all over

SOLUTION : There's no tweak needed to fix this. Just patch the game to version 1.4 and everything will be fix and solve.

Half Life 2 Episode 2

2008-08-16T10:15:00.020+08:00

I skip all the way to episode 2, though i play finish Half Life 2 few years ago using my desktop (graphic card melted)..The good old days of hardcore gaming..and it will never end there..LOL!

Welcome to the 2nd episode of Half Life 2

I don't know what the heck happen in episode 1 but i will play that someday before actually continue playing episode 2..

..but i do remember that gravity gun belongs to me <_<

I played through it's few early stages and the most kick ass moment is the attack of the ant lions..WooT~!

And the story continues..

PROBLEM : unable to start the game at all because our chipset doesn't support the game

SOLUTION : search and download 'swiftshader 2.0' software. After that copy both 'd3d8.dll' & 'd3d9.dll' to your game folder/bin.
Don't run the game just yet cause you might lag like hell because of the animated background in the main menu.
Right Click Half Life 2 Episode 2 shortcut icon and click properties.
copy & paste this next to your game directory name in the target box
-console -dxlevel 81 +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 +mat_bumpmap 0 +mat_specular 0 +mat_picmip 2
So it will look somthing like this
example : "D:\Half-Life 2 Episode Two\half-life 2 episode two\hl2.exe" -steam -game ep2 -console -dxlevel 81 +autoexec.cfg +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 +mat_bumpmap 0 +mat_specular 0 +mat_picmip 2

Now you are able to launch the game. In the main menu, make sure you tweak down the graphic setting so you'll get a better FPS rate..
I think this method is appliable to Half Life 2 & Half Life 2 episode 1 too
Leave and Discuss in the comments if you have any question or better solution

The Fall of Halo 2

2008-08-13T11:01:00.010+08:00

The Fall
Sad to announce to all 945GM user that during the testing of Halo 2 using swiftshader, Halo 2 is in unplayable stage...The FPS(frame per second) is way below 5...

The Hope
Halo 2 is workable in window XP, you can play the game without window Vista.

This guide is based on my testing:-
1) When you first autorun halo 2, you'll receive an error msg
"The procedure entry point CreateProcessWithTokenW could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll"

2) Download Halo2Helper v1.2.1b here
-Unzip the folder to the desktop and in the folder, double click on the "setup.bat"

3) The Halo 2 setup interface will then pop up, choose "Customize Game Install" option.

4) Choose "Full Install, Do Not Start" option. While the directory destination is up to you but i suggest using the default.

5) Once the installation is done, Explore into your Halo 2 disc and find the folder labeled "redists" and install the XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi and vcredist.msi files.
-vcredit.msi will install automatically even if it doesn't look like there's anything.
-I choose repair during the XLiveRedist setup and then restart comp

6) Download Halo2XP Updater v2.0 here
-Double click on the setup and install to your halo 2 game directory

7) A shortcut will appear on the desktop, Double click it then Enjoy Halo 2 in XP!

8) Download Halo2 Uninstaller v0.9b here
-Halo2Uninstaller.reg to clean all the registry string of the game
-Halo2Uninstaller.bat to clean all the game leads from your system
-Halo2Saves.bat is use to save your progress in the game

Thanks to RoboMASTER for all the Halo2 files and Perfect Sin's Guide on how to install Halo2 in Window XP

F.E.A.R. COMBAT

2008-08-12T12:00:00.004+08:00

F.E.A.R. goes online in this F.E.A.R. COMBAT title
It's free to download and play even if you didn't own the original title

Like most FPS multiplayer games, there are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Last Man Standing, Conquer all and Control. You might be thinking, hey, since single player has slowmo, do multiplayer get the same mechanism too?
Well, You bet it did, There are some modes which has that slowmo mechanism in Slowmo Deathmatch, Slowmo Team Deathmatch and Slowmo Capture the Flag.
So how does it work?
Only one player is available to carry the reflex power-up, which when fully charged can press the CTRL key to give the player and his team a speed advantage over the opposing team. You won't go invincible since you'll be an easy target once your holding the power-up as you will be easily detected by everyone in the match.
The mind blowing effect is still noticeable in the multiplayer and i got to tell you, It's way more intense and crazy then you have ever felt in Single player @_@

Some screenshot i took during the bad ass time XD

That's mean this title is playable and so does F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. Extraction Point
For more information about this game www.joinfear.com
So Gear up and Lock n Load Soldier! It's time for showdown +_+

Nintendo Dual Screen Emulator

2008-06-27T11:00:00.000+08:00

Surely you seen some people walking around holding their handheld console playing games. There this one time I was siting in a cafe, playing my laptop when this boy sitting beside me playing his NDS. I show back by playing NDS games in my laptop and that boy was surprised XD

Alright PC gamerz, It's time to chill off high graphic PC games and play some NDS cool games.
The NDS emulator that works great ( not perfectly) is:

ideas 1024
No$gba 2.6a

My personal favourite NDS games for now are:

Final Fantasy Tactics A2
Luminous Arc
Final Fantasy XII - Revenant Wings
Lost in Blue series
Nanostray 2
Phoenix Wright series
Lunar Knights
Summon Night Twin Age
Taiko No Tatsujin

There's this MyZoom software which allow us to play NDS emulator in fullscreen.
There isn't any problem playing the emulator for us Core 2 Duo, 945GM chipset user. The FPS is playable mostof the games. If there's any problem with the game then it's the emulator's technical problem.

P.S. A BIG GRATITUDE GOES TO THE DEVELOPERS OF IDEA & NO$GBA EMULATOR ^^

Neverwinter Nights 2

2008-05-28T09:14:00.000+08:00

Im going to tell you a tale..
A tale of far beyond imaginations..
so beyond that i wasnt able to realize that Neverwinter Nights 2 were playable with 945GM chipset XD
Yes! that's right my fellow brothers and sisters. Behold! one of the greatest RPG game ever step foot in the world is now playable with 945GM
Both Neverwinter Nights 2 and it's expansion pack 'Mask of the Betrayer' is playable.
Just try it yesterday and although its unplayable at first but with some tweak, you'll be long living in the game for like however long u want XD

PROBLEM : unable to play the game at all because our intergrated chipset doesn't support at all

SOLUTION : search and Download the '3D-Analyzer' & 'Swiftshader 2.0' program. After that extract the content to any folder you like,seperate both program in different folder. Run the 3DAnalyze.exe, click the large "select" button and select the 'nwn2main.exe' file, enable "force SW TnL" and then click "run". Do not experiment with other options if you don't know what you are doing. While the Swiftshader, Copy both the 'd3d8.dll' & 'd3d9.dll' to your neverwinter nights 2 game folder.

Havent been gaming offline games for quite sometime =/

2008-05-24T23:25:00.000+08:00

Been Playing Online games till i didnt touch offline games for quite a long time and there's the exam..

All right
Games That I played currently are:

Need For Speed Most Wanted Black Edition
Phantasy Star Universe
Dawn of War Soulstorm

There doesn't seem to have any problem with the Need For Speed Most Wanted Black Edition game except sometime will have random crash.
The only suggestion is update your graphic driver to up-to-date version and have more ram to prevent from game crashing.

The Phantasy Star Universe is great since u dont find much action RPG game like this in PC. There's an expansion pack call 'Ambition of the Iluminus'. There's no problem playing it except the framerate problem and also need internet connection because of the gameguard system. using a program call 'autogear' can help boost the performance of the game. I'm looking forward for a solution to solve the internet connection requirement. Everytime I wanted to play its story mode i have to connect to internet for the gameguard system checking.

Warhammer 40K Dawn of War SoulStorm plays excellent. No problem with this game just need more ram to enjoy lag free when having a large battle of armies.

ELDER SCROLL 4 OBLIVION

2008-02-19T20:26:00.000+08:00

I been dreaming to play this game ever since it's preview released. I have a computer with Nvidia FX 5600 back then when it released. The sad thing is it's graphic is so powerful that i wasn't able to play it and thus my dream is shatter :-(
After I got my lappy with 945GM chipset i thought myself that what the heck, surely it's impossible to play Oblivion with my lappy..I went on browsing, searching for solution even though chances is rare...until..Solution appears!

PROBLEM : unable to play the game at all because our graphic card doesn't support at all

SOLUTION : Download the 'Oldlivion' program. It's a program which tweak all the graphics of the game to be able to play in most graphic cards even 945GM chipset =D..go to this website for guides and more information www.oldblivion.com

EXTRA : because oldlivion tweaks the graphic to even lower graphics..you won't be able to experience what Oblivion has to offer but the game play is still the same

JADE EMPIRE SPECIAL EDITION

2008-02-19T19:48:00.000+08:00

Step into the role of an aspiring martial arts master and follow the path of the Open Palm or Closed Fist. In this multi-award-winning action-RPG, your choices and actions will determine the fate of an empire. Will you prevent the destruction of this beautiful land or crush it beneath your heel? Are you a warrior who uses strength and fighting mastery to bring peace, or will your power bring pain and ruin?

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

Remember the days of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic..well this the next series from Bioware. This game is all about martial arts and jutsu (cuz can transform into frog or other sorts of beast o_o). Instead of clicking like SWKOTOR style during combat, Jade Empire use an action fighting system which is quite unique making the combat quite challenging. There are many fighting styles to choose during combat which is kinda cool xD

Just like in SWKOTOR, whatever you do will affect your character and the game story so choice wisely..ok enough boring talks..lets just get to the problem and fixing part so you can experience the game yourself xP

PROBLEM : You will get this message log after you crash during startup

.\Lti\Render Device.cpp(222): D3DERR_INVALIDCALL - Invalid call
Error creating D3D device for adapter 0!

SOLUTION : Search and Download the '3D-Analyzer' program. After that extract the content to any folder you like, run the 3DAnalyze.exe, click the large "select" button and select the Jade Empire exe file, enable "force SW TnL" and then click "run". Do not experiment with other options if you don't know what you are doing.

2007-05-13T20:20:00.000+08:00

Since the ver1.05 patch is going to impact C&C3 a lot, It should have been release together wif the original C&C3, I mean, The original should have patched to ver1.05 before the release date....
This patch is going to impact the play style of the players who are already master the timing of the game....
Well...not that i object it since Im still a beginner when facing with real players in network :P
But the time I have spend to analyze, practice, training in this game...
Putting hours and days, weeks, in this magnificient RTS game...
Although it's not a waste, still I have a lot of fun....^^

Not that the patch has negative effect but it does fix and balance the gameplay and bugs in-game...
That I would really looking forward and appreciate it :D

More Screenshots during C&C3 gameplay

2007-05-06T13:40:00.000+08:00

I can't stop playing this awesome RTS game!
Showcasing some more Screenshots during in-game

Nuclear Missle in Action

The Precious Green Crystals, The Tiberiums

GDI Conquer

Command and Conquer 3 : Tiberium Wars

2007-05-03T11:38:00.000+08:00

First game i want to introduce in this blog is

Ah yes... Long I have been waiting for this RTS game...
I remember the old days when i play Tiberium Sun, yup, the old dayz....
I been on GDI side for like ever....why...IT's ION CANNON
The video of real people in canpaign mode is superb and i love to watch them ^^
Grace Park is Hot..haha~

The Main Point:
Rumors of C&C3 is that instead there's both famous side, GDI & NOD, there's a third race which is totally new to this C&C franchise. An Alien type race known as the "SCRIN"

All three side have new gadgets and gizmo in their arsenal of war...
Ranging from GDI's famous Mammoth tank,NOD's Powerful Avatar to SCIN's Destructive Mothership....
What I like most of all RTS is the Superweapons or as they say "WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!"
GDI - ION CANNON (My Favourite with style)
NOD - NUCLEAR MISSLE ( no need to explain)
SCRIN - RIFT ( A wormhole appear and suck everything into it)

ION CANNON screenshots

Hmm...Pictures wont express the feel of this massive superweapon....

a video showing all 3 superweapons in the game

visit www.commandandconquer.com for more information
Play it! Feel it!

yup, thats right, Intel chipset 945GM can play this game, with a little tweak and adjustment...
U wont get the high visual and graphics of it but for those who r eager to play in their laptop with 945GM chipset, well...U do get good visual while maintaining the performance for the game...

Problem : U will get crash a lot of times playing this game, in the middle of skirmish mode, the first mission of GDI canpaign or even when u use the superweapons!

Solution : Just set the Shader setting to Medium in the game graphic option( the higher u set the graphic option the less chances u get crash or even wont at all). The bad thing is, With great visual comes it's side effect that is u will surely experiance low performance in the game...

Extra : Installation, When u come into custom setup page, there is " core game files " and " language packs ". click the small arrow that is pointing the "Language Packs" and it will show three types of language files. click on the English Language files and select "This feature will be installed on local hard drive". the rest will be simple...
