Top 5 Main characters from Call of Duty

Been playing the Call of Duty franchise since I was a kid. Just finished playing Black Ops 2 right now, so I decided why not make a list of the top 5 MAIN playable characters from the WHOLE series. The list is according to me. Do make sure to comment who is your favorite MAIN character and why on the comment section below.

Warning: Spoilers ahead. 

#5 - Yuri

 

Yuri's Flashback in MW3

   

He's a playable character in Modern Warfare 3 who is revealed to be the right hand of Makarov (antagonist of MW3. He is a badass russian character apart from Reznov with an badass back story and the only Ex-villian who comes into his senses and decides to join the good side.

#4 - David Mason

 

Main character of Black Ops 2 and the son of Alex Mason. Although the story was way too unrealistic, if Black Ops 2 was a reality, this is the guy you would thank for saving the whole world from total annihilation and maniac Menendez.  

#3 - Alex Mason

Main character of Black Ops 1 & 2 and father of David Mason. If you've played the campaign, you'd know how much it sucks to be this guy and the amount of torture he has to go through in the whole campaign series, one badass dude. 

#2 - Captain Price

 

He's been there since the start of the Call of Duty franchise. I would describe him as a 50 years old invincible man who's still whooping ass.

#1 Captain Soap McTavish

 

Cpt Price: What the hell kind of a name is Soap, eh?

Now this is was one of my personal favorite character as I grew up playing as Soap McTavish and he was the face of Call of Duty Modern Warfare, he was skilled enough to take everyone down and after he cheated death the 2nd time in MW3 I couldn't be more happier but his death afterwards left me shocked and in tears as I had developed a bond with the character. I would say they killed the whole series with his death. Dead but never forgotten, R.I.P Soap McTavish.

Top 5 Antagonists (Villains) - Call of Duty

After posting my Call of Duty Top 5 Protagonists list, I just had to make a Antagonists list as well so here I will be discussing my top 5 favorite bad guys from the whole Call of Duty franchise.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

#5 - Al Asad

The only realistic villain in the whole call of duty series, who relates to real life terror leaders. What makes him badass than the other  leaders? He executed a president on live TV Dayuum.

#4 - Tian Zhao

A good guy turned bad, who's responsible for the 2nd cold war. Played a vital role in Menendez's plan to annihilate the world.

#3 - General Shepard

What annoys me is the fact his back story was not revealed and the reason behind him betraying Task Force 141, killing Roach and Ghost which were everyone's favorite characters, putting him instantly in this top 5 list.

#2 - Raul Menendez

The only super villian in the Call of Duty series with a solid back story, instead of some nutjob who was born with the purpose of destroying the world like other villain characters. This guy is boss and if you've finished Black Ops 2 campaign, you'd realize no matter whether you choose to kill him or let him live, either way he wins. I would describe him as the evil version of Albert Einstein, with a mind so great capable of destroying the whole entire world single handily.

#1 - Vladimir Makarov

This guy is the most evilest and badass villian I've ever seen. Everything about him was perfect, from the great voice acting to his quotes. The reason why he's first is because he did so much damage and killed many of our main characters. I began liking him since MW2 until he killed Soap, then it got personal and couldn't wait to kill him in the game.

Top 5 Assassin's Creed Characters

Been playing Assassin's Creed since the day it came out. Although the first AC game was dissappointing, the games made after that never disappointed me. Assassin's Creed is a name known to all gamers and all of their games have become a hit in the gaming market. You're not a true gamer until you have played the Assassin Creed's games. What's most impressive about Assassin's Creed is the awesome parkour, combat gameplay and pretty much everything. There are many mentions of real life events in the game so after playing the games, you would gain a lot of history knowledge. In this article, I will be discussing top 5 AC characters. Feel free to leave your inputs and who you think is the best character in the comment section below.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

#5 - Shay Cormac

To be honest, when AC: Rogue came out I was pretty excited that finally I got the chance to play as a cold-hearted Templar who would be bent on killing innocent and taking down the Brotherhood. When I played the game, I didn't get exactly what I expected but it was similar. In Rogue, The brotherhood happens to be the bad guys meanwhile Templars are the good guys. Shay leaves the Brotherhood after realizing they're responsible for the deaths of many innocent people, where then he gets shot but the Templars find him and take care of him. Next to Altair, I would say he is the most interesting character in the whole series.

#4 - Desmond Miles

The most badass modern day Assassin who belongs to the bloodline of Altair Ezio Auditore & Edward Kenway, and a hero who sacrificed his own life to ensure the survival of the rest. He is the only modern day Asassasin who I would say the fastest and strongest than the rest.

#3 - Connor Kenway

The son of Haytham Kenway and the protoganist in AC3. He had a tough childhood and in order to prevent it from happening again, he decides to join the Brotherhood and asks Achilles Davenport to train him. As years go by, he becomes more skilled & wiser. At first he was bent on getting revenge from the people who burnt his village and even after learning it was Patriot's fault, he still protected and helped them and before you point fingers at him for killing his father, he did try to unite the Templars and Brotherhood but failed miserably and hence he had to kill his father, Templar's Grandmaster Haytham Kenway.

#2 - Haytham Kenway

Son of Edward Kenway who was a well known pirate turned Assassin. He was taken in by a Templar at a young age following his father's death. He is the best character in AC3 although he is a villain and I agreed with his quotes & everything about him was perfect from voice acting to his appearance. Although he only had a pistol, hidden blade and a sword he still was powerful. He is also revealed to be Templar's Grandmaster later in AC3.

#1 - Ezio Auditore

Who doesn't love this character. I'm pretty sure all Assassins Creed fans would rank him as Top. He has the most interesting story and a great personality, making you bond with the character easily. An ex playboy turned into a Assassin after witnessing the death of his brothers and Father. Unlike the other Assassin's, he's the only Assassin who likes to take out enemies by stealth instead of bashing in and slaying everyone in open combat.

Top 5 Offline Split Screen Games for Xbox 360

You gotta admit playing with a person next to you in real life is more fun & easier than playing solo or with random strangers online that keep cussing you every time you do something wrong. All you need are two controllers & someone to play with. What's best about Offline split screen games is that you don't need Live membership to play so when your Xbox Live membership runs out, you won't have any need to panic. Here in this article I will be discussing popular Top 5 Offline Split Screen Games for Xbox 360 you can play at the comfort of your own home without the need for any internet connection but just a 2nd controller. 

Don't forget to comment what are your favorite split screen games!

#1 - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

If you're a true hardcore gamer than you must've obviously played any of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Games. Modern Warfare 3 offers the best Offline split screen experience as compared to any of the other Call of Duty games. You get to pick whether to do missions or the survival mode, which is the best thing about Modern Warfare 3. I remember when I first bought MW3 2 years ago , I spent countless hours playing survival mode & completing missions on each difficulty. I STILL play MW3 even now occasionally. No matter how much you play MW3's survival mode, you'll never get bored and it's more easier to survive with a friend than on your own as in co-op mode you won't die instantly but have chance to be revived by a team mate which is pretty useful.

If you want a fun & lasting split screen game to play with someone then this is the game for you!

#2 - FIFA 15

Doesn't matter whether people like football or not, they all love to play FIFA. FIFA is a game that would turn you into a football maniac in no time. If you're one of those people who think FIFA suck then you've probably never played it or just bad at it. There's not a single person I've met who owns an Xbox & doesn't play FIFA at the same time. I could go on but to understand why this game is great you gotta play it first. By playing it, I mean play it with a friend. 

If you're not a fan of football don't worry so wasn't I but after I started playing FIFA I automatically become a fan.

#3 - Resident Evil 5 & 6

One of my favorite series I automatically became a fan after playing Resident Evil 4 on my PS2 and was so excited for Resident Evil 5's release. When I bought the game for my Xbox 360 and realized it contains split screen mode for campaign, decided to invite my friend over to play with me and we ended up doing the whole campaign together which was very fun & much better than doing it with an online stranger or doing it solo. If you've played Resident Evil 4 like me in which the Protagonist was Leon Kennedy, then you must definetly also try out Resident Evil 6 in which one of the main protagonist is Leon Kennedy & the game also offers split screen mode for campaign so you and your friends can finish the missions together.

RE4 & RE5 are both games worth buying & completing with your friends for a much better experience.

#4 - Black Ops 1 & 2

Black Ops 1 & 2 is mostly famous for it's zombie mode which is fun to play with friends on split screen mode. You might find the game complicated at first but as you play you'll get the hang of it and want to keep playing & playing to go further. Zombie mode in Black Ops 1 & 2 is extremely hard so don't bother doing them solo unless you've a death wish. The more players you have, the more merrier as the rounds get difficult as you progress. What's frustrating about Black Ops 1 zombie mode is that you have to start from all over again after you die & keep redoing the basic rounds to get to the higher rounds which you'll get tired of doing obviously but in Black Ops 2 they eliminated the problem by allowing you to choose a round to start with which is an awesome feature.

Although I didn't like Black Ops 1 & 2 storyline, the zombie mode was awesome so if you want to kick zombie ass with your friends, this is the game for you.

#5 - Halo 3

The reason I switched from PS2 to Xbox 360 7 years ago was because of this game. This is the game where it all started for me, although it's split screen might not rock that much the storyline did but if you're an gamer you must also probably be a fan of the Halo series if not, start with Halo 3. Apart from it's awesome campaign mode, it also offers great Multiplayer and if you don't have Xbox Live don't worry you can play a split screen match offline.

If you get bored you can switch the modes as it offers many modes such as capture the flag, free for all etc.

Mark Zuckerberg CEO of Facebook buys WhatsApp

So you all have probably the heard the news already by now that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook decided to buy WhatsApp for $19b. So basically now Mark owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp. All combined toghether and he has more information than any intelligence agency in the country including CIA!

So why $19B? As Mark described the app, a " Valuable text messaging " application which almost everyone who have a smartphone around the world use to keep up with their friends abroad or in country.

To read Mark Zuckerberg's status, Click Here.

If you read the whole status, you would realize that on the 4th paragraph - Mark mistankly posted a unregistered domain which someone has already bought now. " forinternet.org "

Because of this mistake, the domain's worth about $50k. Crazy right? Whoever registered the domain first just hit the jackpot. Say if Mark was paid to do typos like these, he could make enormous amount of money without doing anything at all. 

Anyways, we expect WhatsApp to keep up with their standards. No ads, no gimicks or games Etc. Which might happen since Facebook is the new owner. What do you guys think?

Android App Review - Slash! Hero

Welcome, everyone, to an android app/game review!

This is my first post on here, so be nice!

Obviously kidding...

Anyways, here's a preview of the game:

Watched it? Good. Let's hop in to the review, here's how it's gonna go, for these reviews, I will have different sections of the game reviewed differently. This is the order:

Gameplay, Story, Graphics, Sound and Music.

So, let's hop in to the GAMEPLAY!

The gameplay is very, very simple. You have a sword that expands and retracts, you have to slash at the right time to cut the orbs in to pieces. You get two tries, too. It gets more complicated though, you are not allowed to hit the next pole (as demonstrated in the video), and also there are different types of orbs, blue orbs, that move, but slowly, black orbs, that you are not allowed to cut directly, since the orbs have shields, if you cut the shields, you press the 'FIRE' button, and you cut again, which one-shots the orb. There are also rainbow orbs, which move EXTREMELY fast. The red ones are basic, they just stay there.. There are purple orbs, that are basically an upgraded version of the blue orbs. Finally there is the 'Dark Hero' which is, apparently a corrupted version of your hero. He's fairly simple, similar to the black orbs, however you have to hit his shield when it is white, because he blocks your attack otherwise. You also get one continue per life (unless you decide to buy more, for 0.98$).

Next, the STORY!

As far as I know, there is no story to this game. The only story element here is the so called Dark Hero, however he appears more than once, so it's just a regular enemy. Either way, there is little to no story in this game, which is fine, it makes up for it with it's gameplay!

Next we move to.. GRAPHICS!

The graphics are pretty simple. The hero is a stickman with a red scarf, the background is pretty dang cool. The effects are nice, and I think it's very fitting for a game like this. It's nothing to write home about, but it does the gameplay some justice!

Now, SOUND!

The sounds, while some are royalty free, most of them are custom, which I like, and they are also pretty dang neat. Again, nothing to write home about, but for a small, awesome game like this, they are pretty good.

Finally, MUSIC!

Same opinion with the music as with the sound. It's soothing, it's not repetitive, and it's actually good.

Ending opinion:

For a game that will probably be played when you are not playing Flappy Bird, this is an awesome game. It's challenging, but not infuriating. (You will not rage nearly as much as you'd if you were playing Flappy Bird.)

Final Verdict? 4.5/5. It's a mobile game, so I'm not expecting too much from it, however it's managed to please me. A must have. Thank you for reading, I'll see you in the next review. Bai!

Limitless (2011) - Review

IMDb rating: 7.4/10
My rating: 8/10

This movie is based on the novel ''The Dark Fields'' by Alan Glynn, starring Bradley Cooper as the main protagonist. Dubbed as a thriller, this movie has a lot more to offer in terms of its content and well its acting! This is Bradley Cooper's second movie (post-Hangover) and for me it was definitely his break-out role. Earlier he had opted for rom-coms and slapstick comedy ventures and it was a pleasant surprise to see him exploring this rather different genre of acting. It also stars veteran actor Robert De Niro and as expected, he essays his role to perfection (no surprises there). 

Edward Morra (Bradley Cooper) is introduced as a shabbily dressed struggling writer who is down on his luck in both his professional and personal life. After a co-incidental meeting with his Ex-wife's brother Vernon Gant (Johnny Whitworth) he gets access to NZT, a revolutionary drug capable of increasing the brain's efficiency to an astonishing level. As fate would have it, Eddie's life gets back on track. He finishes his book, manages to woo his girlfriend back and even enters the stock broking business. His new-found success in the business catches the eye of corporate mogul and business magnate who wants Eddie to assist him with a high-scale corporate merger. However,everything comes with a price and in Eddie's case, its when shadows from his past sneak into his life with insidious ease and the seemingly harmless NZT begins showing its side-effects. The plot thickens as Eddie encounters his worst fear; murders, conniving thieves and drug lords all confront him while his life hangs in the balance.

In terms of script and screenplay the movie is fairly good however the director has succeeded in transforming a simple story into an impressive thriller offering visual panache and a great cast to boot.It has all the makings of an awe-inspiring thriller . What works for the movie is the charisma and suaveness of Bradley Cooper who impresses despite being relatively new to this genre. He has managed to carve a niche for himself in Hollywood after this film. The director has handled all the various points and departments meticulously keeping the audience fully engaged with all the characters. All in all, greed, money, fame, betrayal and murder are all what make ''Limitless'' both an intriguing mystery and a grueling thriller. So, if you're a thriller fanatic, I suggest you don't miss watching it.
