Today, I woke up quite late around 9:00 am. I went to bed around 3 am that morning after coming back from an overrated movie, Legions. I brought Little Foot for a walk at around 10:00 am. The weather was a bit warmer than usual around 10:00 am.
The stats of the walk is as follows:
Saturday, 31/01/2010, light cardio session
40 mins walking Little Foot around the part for 5 times
* Resulted in 120 calories burned and about 3.0km walked(estimated)
After walking Little Foot, I decided to do some cycling on my exercise bike yet again for around 41 mins this time. The stats of that short-exercise was as follows:
45 mins on the exercise bike @ effort level = 5
* Resulted in 14km cycled, around 320 calories burned.
Also, I have recently completed Bioshock 1 which I purchased from Steam during its Christmas sale . Here is a short review of the game. The game length was at really short around 9 hours or so. Fortunately, this game was really well done. Good voice acting, great visuals and gave quite a lot of freedom to the player how to tackle a situation.
Here are some screenshots of the game:
1. Main menu of Bioshock 1
2. Taking the sphere into Rapture
3. Almost there
4. In game map
*The in-game map is as confusing as ever.
5. Having my first plasmid, lighting
6. Big daddy nailing a splicer
7. In game plasmid movie
8. Great Direct X10 water effects
9. An insane surgeon who can't stop looking for perfection
10. In game vendor shop
*This is where you would get your ammo, medical pack and eve for a price.
11. Weapons and ammo selection screen
12. Burning the enemy with the fire plasmid (snap of a finger)
13. Another vendor machine where you can use raw materials found in Rapture to create ammo
14. Moving into the next area
15. Another insane professional, this time an artist
16. A more powerful splicer freezing you into an ice cube
17. The most famous phrase in the game, "Would you kindly?"
18. Andrew Ryan, the person who built Rapture
19. Your memories, are they real?
20. The final boss, guess who?
*Please note that I use the usual keyboard and mouse combo for this first person shooter game as intended.
Pros:
1. Very engaging story, well written from the beginning to the end and unexpected plot twist
2. Great graphics, great sound effects and excellent voice over.
3. Interchanging plasmids and weapons for fights is a very refreshing experience
Cons:
1. Sometimes, I won't know what to do next
2. Quite a few puzzles
3. Need to check map constantly to find out where am I supposed to go next
4. The game length was far too short around 8-9 hours only.
My verdict for this game is 9.0 out of 10. I definitely would recommend anybody who is a fan of First Person Shooter with an excellent story. This is one of the rare FPS games that has an original story and setting.
