By Ravi Sinha This year has already been hugely beneficial for both Sony and Microsoft, though it currently tilts more towards the Playstation 3. Nonetheless, by the second week of May, each console will have three AAA exclusives to each call it’s own. Which is all well and good, but what next after that?
Almost a year and a half ago, we posted an article “Things That Should Change About Halo”. This was before any real information about Halo: Reach was ever known – even the fact that it was being developed after Halo 3′s release. Somewhat remarkably, almost everything that we thought, as purely our opinion, that should [...]
By Ravi Sinha When you’ve been in any entertainment sector long enough (save music but who’s given it a shot yet), you officially earned the right to remakes and reboots – also called the right to “Do whatever the F*** I want, because it’s awesome!” Much hullabaloo has been made over Square-Enix’s pinballing desires to [...]
By Ravi Sinha Having completed Mass Effect 2 for the PC, passing the suicide mission with only one casualty (that too of some one who mistakenly threw away their loyalty for me), I sat through the game’s admittedly short ending and let it all sink in. Every thing I had worked for – the upgrades, [...]
By Ravi Sinha With all the problems Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been encountering, the lines are getting blurred between the nuisances and actual issues. First came the crib that it didn’t look much different from the original. Next, Activision lashed out at Sony for not reducing the price of their console – [...]
By Ravi Sinha I won’t attempt to explain the Mumbai terror attacks that took place almost a year ago in our native land of the saffron, white and green. Unless you were in India, you wouldn’t really understand it – unlike a 9/11 that took place over the period of one admittedly beautiful New York [...]
Resistance has in a short time become an intriguing franchise in this seventh generation of console gaming. The game fully reached it’s potential with the second game in the series, who’s visual scale and fun single-player matched the more hyped FPS games of this generation. However, in the journey that it took to become the [...]
By Ravi Sinha Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has received nearly god-like acclaim if the onslaught of professional reviews is to be believed. The Playstation 3 exclusive has been lauded for combining stellar graphics and nuanced touches with an excellent full-blown action adventure that sees Nathan Drake investigating the mystery of Marco Polo’s 13th century ill-fated [...]
By Nike Okami A woman, not too long ago, told me in a fit of passion, “The Indian rope-trick & corny verbal jugglery both come easy to us. But, dragon breath on butterfly wings & canary toes; cliched and a typical verbal steamroller with sadly neither the roller nor the steam” when I tried to [...]
By Ravi Sinha Say what you will about the console Final Fantasy XIII truly belongs on, but Square-Enix’s flare for visual excellence has become an unparalleled staple in the industry. From the very first instant I saw Final Fantasy XIII, I (and I’m sure several other fans) unconsciously compared it’s amazing CG cut-scenes to that [...]
