Why I downloaded Pokemon Y

Why I downloaded Pokemon Y

Pokemon X and Y is the sixth generation of the main series of Pokemon games. Developed by Gamefreak and published by Nintendo for the 3DS and 2DS, this game is one of the fastest selling Nintendo game of all time where more than 4 million units was sold worldwide in just 2 days. I’ve been looking for reviews about the game and rated the game 4.5/5 or 9/10 which means it is really awesome or great. That is why I was tempted to buy it digitally on the Nintendo eShop and did not regret it.



It’s been awhile since I held on to my Nintendo 3ds for a long time. It’s almost like I don’t touch my 3ds anymore because I finished all the games I bought which includes The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D. And now, Pokemon Y which I recently bought, lets me hold on to my 3DS and can’t stop playing 24/7!

I felt nostalgic when I started to play this game. It has been a long time since I played a Pokemon game. My first pokemon game was Pokemon Red Version where my best friend since grade school influenced me into playing this game. This is the first generation of Pokemon which includes the three of the starter Pokemon: Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasar. I finished the game but I was unsuccessful in completing my Pokedex. Pokemon Y is completely different since the pokemon game I played and right now, I’ve been playing it for weeks and I still only have 2 badges as of now.

There are a lot of new features of Pokemon Y which includes online battling, trading and a whole new level of training. Unlike any other Pokemon games, Pokemon Y lets your pokemon train not only through battles but with a mini-game called Super Training where you can increase the Pokemon’s Stats. This brings a new level of training your pokemon. So if you fought the same pokemon with the same level with other trainers, it now depends how strong his stats and affections are.

The game has so much more to offer which I could not write it all in one blog. I’ve yet to finish the game as I am currently exploring towns and cities with my bike and roller skates, collecting pokemons day and night, training them and trading online with mostly Japanese players.  I don’t know where my adventure in the game leads me to so I guess I would just #waitforit.

Dead or Alive, you're coming with me. RoboCop Reboot 2014!


The new ROBOCOP Reboot is coming your way next year February 7, 2014

We all have a lot of memories about ROBOCOP especially the 90's kids out there. I even idolize ROBOCOP and buy ROBOCOP toys during my childhood days because he is totally awesome. The half-human half-cyborg cop will bring justice in a whole new level. The armor looks great and they did a really good job on the remake of it, and definitely looks good on black.

I'm really interested on this reboot especially when you have Joel Kinnaman, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson on it.

How I Met My Razer




Gaming for Gamers

I know a lot of us are fond of playing video games but taking it to the next level is far more different than just playing a side scrolling 1 player game or a puzzle game for that matter. Most of the video games now are connected to the internet where MMORPG and MOBA are the most popular games today.

MOBA or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena are the hottest games today because of the competition and the excitement as any other physical sports which is why it is now called an E-Sport. One game was even recognized as an Official Sport in the US and pro players would have a working visa as athletes. With alot of competitions and players, how are you going to step up?

How I met My Razer

Gaming with this is going to be Legen..wait for it...dary!
Choosing a right equipment or peripheral might not be a big factor for you but for pro and hard core gamers, it is very important to have a good and reliable peripherals for your game. At first, I was contented on having a simple mouse for playing League of Legends and DOTA 2 but sometimes the mouse fails to function and my game would be ruined resulting to a loss. That was the first time I bought a real gaming mouse. The gaming mice was called Razer Naga. It was the coolest mouse I ever saw and it has 12 buttons that sits perfectly on your thumb. It was very easy for me to use items in my inventory in the game rather than pushing the numbers in my keyboard. I sure knew that I was becoming faster and more responsive to the game itself. That is what you call "Imba".

Cleaning time!
I was really satisfied with the performance of the Razer Naga and was interested on what other products they have then I saw a keyboard like no other, the Nostromo (N52te). I game on my laptop which is why this is very essential for me. I don't want my keyboard in my laptop to get easily destroyed because of pressing those QWER skills in game which is why the Nostromo (N52te) is a separate keyboard and is ergonomically designed in your hand. To add it up, having the Razer Kraken Pro as my headset lets me enjoy hours and hours of gaming with clear crisp sound, and clear voice with the microphone without noticing its in your head.

Well kids, that's How I met your Razer XD

Game Evo Happening in Dubai!

Game Evolution Happening in Dubai this November!

The biggest gaming exhibition will be held in Dubai and I am getting excited!
The Game Evolution will go live this November 15th and 16th at the Dubai World Trade Centre and it will have a lot of events! All thing Gaming, Exhibition and Education! The Game Evolution is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Majid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority and is also organized by "INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions Org Est".

This really sounds amazing! I've always wanted to go to a Gaming Exhibition and even better, GE will be setting the stage for the Grandest LAN and Console Gaming tournaments with a cash Prize of USD 150,000!! There will also be a massive Consumer Exhibitions, Career Fairs and Educational Workshops and this will happen in a two day celebration of Games and Gaming Culture!

What I really look forward to hear is the E-Sports tournament which will include competitive PC games like DOTA 2, League of Legends, and Counter-Strike. There will be also Console Game tournaments which includes FIFA 2013 and Super Street Fighter IV. I'm getting even more excited when they announced that League of Legends will have the highest prize than other games. Hope I could find a teammate. But heck, I would be there to watch and enjoy the show even I am not participating in the tournament.

This is a call to arms. Anyone out there who would want to join me in a Tournament?

Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It's About time is now Live! In some countries

I know you are getting excited and can here the phrase, "the zombies are coming.." along with a catchy tune which gets stuck in your head while playing it. But for those who are in Australia and in New Zealand, the wait is over and it's about time!

Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About time has been released and launched last July 9, 2013 in Australia and New Zealand and it's free! But why the delay in other countries? PopCap's Senior Producer, Allen Murray revealed in an interview with Polygon that the company is making sure of the game's internal systems won't break under pressure when the game will launch.

In the interview, Murray said, "With Plants vs. Zombies 2 were taking advantage of a lot of newer technologies". "If you're connected to the internet, you can save your progress and share accounts across multiple devices - and we need to make sure those systems, along with our ability to stream that content to players, works."

Well, you definitely can't blame them as they are really making sure that the players worldwide would not be disappointed with some bugs and glitches while playing Plants vs. Zombies 2. In addition, PVZ2, as most of the games now requires an internet connection to play it which is why the company is worried with the large influx of players which can affect the back end stability of the game. Requires internet connection you say? Well, technically, you won't need an internet connection just to play but instead, some extra online features will be available once connected to the net.

"If we had more players than we could account for, some of the systems might fall over," he added."We want to be double confident, so we're testing it in a smaller region. This allows us to have more controlled testing player base and determine how to keep the game healthy, then map that to the expected growth when we launch worldwide."

You won't be able to fight the Zombies for sometime, but hey, I'm sure PopCap's doing their best to make the game enjoyable and fun without any problems that may encounter in the future.

Here are some of the screen shots while playing the game. Enjoy!


Pharaoh Zombie stop getting my Sun!

Upgrades. That's what I'm Talking about!

Good thing I still got time to write this blog. I was actually playing it while writing. Can't...stop...playing...must...play...Ughhhh....brains!!!

DOTA 2 to be fully released this summer!



At last! DOTA 2 will be officially released!

DOTA 2 feels like its already been fully released even in its closed beta phase. I bet those who are playing DOTA 2 right now on steam has dozens of beta keys stuck in their steam inventory. This game was also known to be one of the most played game on Steam right now even if it's still in its beta phase.

Yesterday, PC Gamer announced that DOTA 2 will be fully released later this summer and is going to be free-to-play. Well, maybe this full release will not be such a big deal but might become a popular MOBA this year. The game will be officially released prior to "The International" DOTA 2 tournament which will be the biggest DOTA 2 tournament and will be held this August.

Will DOTA 2 step-up to its MOBA competitors like League of Legends or Heroes of Newerth? Let us know with your comments below.

Definitely one of the Best MOBA in iOS! Solstice Arena


MOBA on Mobile devices

MOBA or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena is one of the most addicting game online. The most popular MOBA is the game called DOTA where it all started in the PC using the Warcraft 3's engine, it was the most successful MOBA ever played. Soon, other game developers created different kinds of MOBA based on DOTA and now, it reached the mobile gaming industry.

The first time I saw a MOBA that looks like DOTA, I was excited to download it and played it. It was called Heroes of Order and Chaos. It was actually a cool game at first, but when time pass by, I felt its getting boring. The slow paced game-play and the graphics makes me want to play a Temple Run game. I mean, the map is so wide and it takes you like forever to get to the enemy turret. This game pretty much copied the concept of DOTA you can't really play this kind of game during your commute or waiting for the bus. The game is great but with this kind of map and pace of the game, its better to play MOBA games on PC.

Solstice Arena Game-play

Yesterday, my wife saw a featured game in the App store and was rated 4.5 stars. And i said, "meh..maybe its another boring DOTA look alike but I still downloaded it. The name is Solstice Arena which is made by Zynga, from the creators of the popular games in Facebook. So when I first tried the tutorial, it has a nice decent graphics and different game-play. It's a nice blend an original map and game concept! I was surprised with this game as you don't have minions or creeps to get your gold from and is only a 3v3 game. Where you get the gold from to buy items is in the middle of the map. If you are familiar with League of Legends game, it  is like the Dominion Map where you are going to capture the chest full of gold and re-spawns at specific times. You can play this game either online for PVP with other players worldwide or play solo or with a friend with AI opponents. You can even customize your hero's items and don't you worry, even if its your first time to play a MOBA game, this has a newbie friendly UI (User Interface). Don't know what items are for your hero? Well it has an auto buy function and recommended items you can buy for the specific hero you are using so you will just sit back and enjoy the game.


Solstice Arena Map

The map of Solstice Arena is really amazing. The concept, the graphic and originality makes this a powerful
and fun game. The Solstice Arena Map is what it should look like in a mobile game where it won't take you an hour to play. The goal is to destroy the main turret located inside the base and on the way, you need to destroy the first 3 turrets. Gold or money can also be found in the middle where you'll be fighting for it to have a good item to crush your opponents.

Solstice Arena Team play

Solstice Arena, like League of Legends needs teamwork. Hero's have different roles in the game and you should know your role in the game for your team to win. Basically its just 3v3 so team composition is important. One should be having tons of damage, another should have a strong armor or "tank" to protect the attack damage carry and receive damages from enemies and lastly, the support, which can make your team survive in fights, the caster and the healer of the team.

Solstice Arena is one of the best mobile game I played. You can download it on your iOS devices (too bad for Android users) for free! There are mini transactions in game to buy heroes or skins but playing it will also have "Valor points" to buy the heroes you want. I'm pretty sure I missed some of the other features of this game but you'll going to find it out once you played it. I've even never experience a bug or a lag during the game, which is so good! For more details on the game, visit their website at http://www.solsticearena.com/

This is an awesome game to play in your iPad and when you finished downloading it, be sure to add me "GenosX" in game. See you then! You can download the game here which is available for iPhones, iPad and iPod touch!

Here is the official trailer of Solstice Arena:
