Call of Duty: Black Ops!


Finally!

Got COD:Black Ops today!

Had a bit of gameplay and I really love it!

It's a pretty interesting game play. I'm not sure why some guys don't like it. I think it's awesome!

Some, complained about the graphics but I bought the PS3 version and it looks fine to me.

I know the last couple of COD were made by Infinity Wards but for me, I think, Treyarch did reasonably well too. Okay, maybe the style a bit different. But, it's still Call of Duty and I have played Medal of Honor and Battlefield Combat 2 and I love 'em all!

You can choose to play the single player campaign, multiplayer and even defense against the zombies!

For the zombies game mode you can play up to 4 people offline. It's a blast to play with your friends or family members.

I actually thought of buying the Special editions which include the control car and medal but thought against it ha ha. It was pretty tempting but heck it'll cost around SGD$240!

Here's some more pics below:




All, in all. I'm pretty satisfied. Definitely, recommend it. So, I'm off to playing it. Enjoy, all!

Facebook tablets?

I just thought of a Facebook tablet.

If there's rumor about a Facebook mobile phone, why not then a Facebook tablet?

Isn't that better?

With 500 million users. A Facebook tablet would not be a surprise?

As, we all know, there's a lot of tablet coming out right now. And, I've been asking, can all these tablet actually let me play Facebook flash games?

Personally, I haven't tried it out myself. But, I have bought netbooks and these mini computer can't even let me play simple flash games on Facebook. It's kind of silly if you only bought these kind of computer only to surf?

If, I just want to check up updates on Facebook, I can use my mobile phone. It's easier and faster. I don't carry my netbook everywhere I go. Okay, some of you netbook users are maybe students but really, most of us all do Facebook right?

Don't you guys play the games on Facebook, like me?

That's what bothers me. Tablets, are almost like a netbook. One, good thing about them is that they are small, long-lasting battery and can be carried in a small bag anywhere you go. But, if I can't play games on Facebook, like checking up on my Mafia wars or even play Bubble Island (don't laugh) what good is a tablet?

So, Facebook tablet rumor anyone?

Medal of Honor - Tier 1


Finally!

Today, went ahead and bought, Medal of Honor - Tier 1.

I recorded a video doing some un-packaging and a bit of the game-play.

The game actually been receiving kind of bad reviews but I couldn't resist in buying it today.

Anyway, watch the video as I also tried my hand in using Windows Live Movie maker. It took me an hour or two to learn how to use it and edit the video. I had problem finding a way to delete the installing part as it eats away at the time limited for me to upload to YouTube. Manage to chop it to 10:35 from the original 17 mins!

I think the graphics aren't that great although, I'm not sure if its because I bought it for the PS3. The graphics could be better with the Xbox. The reason, I bought it for the PS3 is because of multiplayer. I can't play multiplayer for the Xbox as I would have to upgrade to Gold or something. I don't really play much multiplayer that's why I don't see the reason why I should subscribe?

I think, it's also kind of rubbish that I have to subscribe to Gold membership at Xbox just for posting my achievements or whatever to Facebook!

I can do that for Free at my PS3!

In any case, the game seems great to me. I only played a bit of it today. My nephews been playing it and they seems to enjoy it. What, do they know bout the graphics eh. As long as they can have fun playing it?

It seems a bit like Modern Warfare but who cares, as long as it's an FPS, I love it!

My advice?

Go get it!!

Enjoy!

Windows phone 7



With all the hurrah's of W7 on sale, finally. It got me to watch the hands-on again. I didn't really like it at first glance. But, after watching this video, I think it's kinda cool. Although, I'm still bias towards the Iphone. He he.

That's what got me thinking. I think, all this phones is great. For, the consumer that is. There's the iphone for the Apple fans, android for google fans, palm pre for err ..palm fans and of course now W7 for Microsoft fans!

I would love to get my hands on some of these phones simply because I love new tech stuff. But, the reason I'm bias towards the Iphone is no, not because of Steve jobs but I think, for me, it's because of the games that I can easily access via iTunes. And, not just the games but all the apps. Such, as the Facebook app.

The main thing I use my phone for is to check my Fb for updates or sometime, even to upload snapshots. I'm always checking my emails and like to read some news online. If there's wifi then I'll get to watch Youtube on the go. Too bad I still can't play Fb games on my Iphone or even on the other so-called smartphones. But, I'll live.

Apple, has done good integrating and revamping iTunes. I used to love downloading video podcast on my iPods. It's well organized in one browser and easy to purchased your games. In my country, I can't still buy music or movies but I make do by buying it somewhere else and download it to my Iphone.

I think that's the problem with Rims blackberry or the Android stores. Microsoft, had better improves their online store too. It's what I think that will really make the difference. If more dev submit their apps to Microsoft and they make it easy for the consumer to browse and make their purchase online then, it's half the battle won.

Microsoft, already have a huge fans following worldwide. Office, xbox live, Fb, tweeter etc. all these basic apps that people use almost on a daily basis will help w7 to succeed. But, I still think Apple fans will still like their Iphone better and so do the Android fans too. Hope, that in spite off all these fragmented groups, we'll all get to live peacefully together and of course, let me call my w7-using mom on my iphone. Ha ha!

P.S. update: Just read about steam successful business approach. Just, like what I've been talking about. Rims, Google and Microsoft should learn from it!

What can be done to improve Singapore Soccer?

I just post this err.. long comments at Yahoo!

It's about the Singapore soccer scenes. Have a read. Link, to main article included here.

---------------------------------------

S-league, should be the base for Singapore football. They should do something like the RHB cup where they call the region champions to play in it including the Malaysian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, china and maybe even top European club champions. Make it yearly. Maybe, singapore FA cup or whatever cups that could help improve the S-league level to international level. Consistent, competitions will improve our players consistently.

That, could also make the S-league team becomes more competitive locally and internationally. Only, the Top 4 team in S-league play in this competitions. So, every team in S-league have something to play, fight and strive for. Right, now the S-league team only fight for championship. What about the other Top team? What, will they get? Without, fighting for something, they will achieve nothing.

They could also separate 20 teams into something like the Serie A or Serie B of the Italian league to promote relegation. Make, teams fight for their place in S-league. Make them play harder and stronger. With, something to strive for, they will improve their competitiveness.

Money, is a good motivator too. Maybe, the pay limit should be lifted. If, they're that good then they should be allowed to earn it. If, they totally sucks, no sponsors will pay it right?

Football, careers are pretty short anyway. Why, should we stop them to earn more before they retire at say 33-37?

What if they have terrible injuries that will stop them from playing anymore?

So, maybe, the pay limit should be lifted to promote soccer as a viable careers. Of course, if they have already good educations and other technical skills, it could help secure any other kind of jobs.

If we call Singapore selection to play in M-league, might, as well we call our national team to play. It's the same as we select our best players to play for national team. Also, our level of football will be M-league level not International level? That's why we have this 'kampung' team mentality. We become only best of S.E.A not Asian or even higher at international level. To reach, international level, we need international level of competitiveness.

I, also like the idea of our S-league teams to go train maybe, at Top European clubs at the like of Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal. Maybe, at Barcelona, Inter and Ac Milan etc.

Okay, maybe not at those top level club yet, but, still they can go for e.g. the Italian serie Bs or Cs or whatever. Let, them rub shoulders with top players even if it's just for training purposes. It's also good for promoting our players to European agents. I'm pretty sure, our players although, won't be playing at European competitions but will get the experiences and bring it to the S-league. This, will motivate the various S-league teams to play better football. Hey, this top teams, sometime have a reserve team league and players. Let, them train together. Taste, the type of high-level football facilities and trainings.

The possibilities is endless for Singapore football. The thing is, don't just aim locally, but aim for international level of training and football. There's no more kampung. We are already a modern society with international exposures. Change, our mindset and aim higher to achieve higher goals!

Aim for quality of football and football experiences all around!

In spite of the attendance in S-league. I like watching it. Hey, as long as it's football, any kind of football, I like to watch. No, matter what the standard. Heck, I'll even watch the local Sunday footballers play. If you're a real football fan, you don't care. Football, is still football. It's not just watching people kicking around but also watching the tactical side of things or the lack of. Haha!

The S-league clubs should promote their team more at the local, respective areas. Their club could be improve with better facilities to encourage people to visit their club and grow their base fans with membership. Maybe, they club should have a 'makan place', gaming or entertainment center so that people just don't come for football but family oriented activities before and after they watch the football matches. It shouldn't be a mundane football night. Again, it should be a football fiesta!

The matches, should make it more family oriented like the EPL. It should be a fun fare. It should be a party. The Friday night football at Jalan Besar stadium is one good place to promote it on live television. So, that when people watch it they will think, hey, it's a fun-filled day for football fans to go to. Rope, in sponsors for the match day events. This, will help promote their products and also local football atmosphere.

In the end, we want the fans of football to come and watch us live. We, want them to come and have fun-filled day. Don't just think bout the football. Think, bout the football fans. Maybe, just maybe, the S-league will make us proud as one of the most successful story. Good luck!

Medal of Honour for my playstation 3 Games

God damn it.. went to compass point to buy Medal of Honour and Starcraft 2. But, they don't have it for the PS3 because it was out of stock. Great. They do have it for the xbox 360 though. But, I'll have to upgrade to Gold membership if I had wanted to play multiplayer.

Bummer. I decided to wait till they have it for PS3 instead. Like, I've said before, I don't want to buy any more games for my xbox, because, I'm afraid of the RROD!

In the end, I didn't get the Starcraft game either.

Bahhh ...what a wasted trip.

Anyway, maybe, I'll wait till COD: Black Ops then get MOH and maybe Starcraft 2 at the same time. I'll need to clear up some space on my pc for Starcraft though. Thinking, of upgrading my hard drive to 500gb and also my GPU. Heck, that's more money to burn. Haha.

Sigh ...
