I woke up quite late today as I have gotten home around 2:00 am that night . Nonetheless, I woke up around 10:00am and decided to bring Little Foot for a walk in the park.
Here are the stats of the said walk:
Sunday, 08/07/2010, light cardio session
35 mins walking with Little Foot around the park for 5 times
* Resulted in 120 calories burned and about 3km walked and jogged(estimated)
Also, I have recently completed Metro 2033, which I purchased recently during a sale on Steam. Here is a short review of the game. The game length was quite decent for a shooter these days as I have spent about 10 hours playing thru entire game.
Here are some screenshots of the game:
1. Metro 2023 title screen
2. Sample loading screen
3. On rails yet again with sleeping passengers
4. Some guy who will follow you throughout the game, mostly 2nd half of the game
5. Defending the settlement against monsters with 3 other soldiers
6. Moscow after the war and nuclear fallout
7. Nuclear winter
8. Going to the library
9. On rails behind the turret
10. An abnormaly or just and incoming train?
11. The dark ones
12. In game briefing time
13. This is how you charge your torchlight in game
14. The night market in the subway
15. A sample of an ugly monster
16. Hallucinations seem so peaceful
17. Until you woke up and encounter this guy
18. Small truck outfitted with machine gun turret
19. Who are these guys?
20. In game night vision
21. Final showdown with the dark ones
22. The ending
*I played this game using a keyboard and mouse combo as intended for First Person Shooters ("FPS")
I completed the game and its DLCs within 10 hours of casual playing. This is a First Person Shooter which was well presented in terms of story and atmosphere. From my point of view, this game is one of the rare gem for FPS and should be played by everyone.
Pros:
1. Engrossing story and convincing atmosphere.
2. Awesome graphics, great sound effects and excellent voice over.
3. There is quite a bit of replayability in this game since you would want to achieve different endings
4. The game length decent for new FPS around 10 hours
Cons:
1. Shooting in game is crap and weapons are weak, especially shotguns.
2. Too taxing on my PC which is pretty high end to begin with
My verdict for this game is 8.0 out of 10. I definitely would recommend anybody who is a fan of the FPS and yearns for a decent story to play this game. This is definitely an entertaining game to play. However, I still find it funny that the developers screwed up the shooting portion for a FPS but managed incorporate an engrossing story plus an extremely convincing atmosphere especially to me.
