The much awaited Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It's About time is now available on the iTunes App store for free!
The game was already launched at Australia and New Zealand but this time it's already available in all countries. It was almost a month since then but the wait is worth it.
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

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?
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!!!
We have waited so long for the day for Plants Vs Zombies 2 will be
released and it's finally official! “Plants vs Zombies 2: It's about time” is
the continuation of the awesome flower-defense game in PC and in other mobile
devices. The title itself has like a double meaning where in it’s about time
they releases it and it’s about time where the game somewhat relates to time
travelling.
Plants Vs Zombies 2 trailer Watch the official trailer here at their Youtube channel
In the trailer, Crazy Dave is preparing to go somewhere and leaving
some of his plants behind to protect his house. You’ll notice some new plants

Plants Vs Zombies 2 release date
I’m very excited to play this game even though I haven’t really
completed the original PVZ game. It gets even more exciting to know that it would be released on July 18! And this game will be free in iOS devices which includes iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch! What up!
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.
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 herewhich is available for iPhones, iPad and iPod touch!
Action real-time strategy or called MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) nowadays is considered to be the most addicting game not only in Asia but in different parts of the globe. But what started it all? Some gamers even me consider DoTA (Defence of the Ancients) to have started this all, but we were wrong. ARTS or MoBA first began in a Starcraft custom map named Aeon of Strife (AoS) which is pretty much the same as today but with a lot of modifications to make the game more interesting and fun.
ARTS or MoBA is a considered to be the sub-category of an RTS game but you only control a single character and no unit or building construction. This game solely emphasizes on teamwork and skill on handling your character's skill well. The game is pretty much basic stuff where you are going to destroy the the enemies base and going through periodically spawned minions, creeps or what ever you call them and bringing down towers before going through the enemies main base.
I started out to play DoTA (Defence of the Ancients) during my college days and become addicted to it. Learning this game is easy for me as I was familiar in playing RTS games before but controlling one character now is a lot different. DoTA has been popular and has been appearing as part of e-sports until now. With this popularity, other MOBA games arise as they have another point of view in how MoBA game should be.
When Heroes of Newerth was released, I can't believe how beautiful the game is. This is just the same as DoTA but with great graphics, fast paced gameplay and new unfamiliar characters with new skills to play. This further level up the competition. Leaving DoTA behind, me and my friends played HON for a long period of time until it became pay-to-play and only available in US servers. We were so depressed that we tolerated to DoTA again as we were not familiar with the controls and pretty much wanted HON back. So I researched on another MoBA game that would be free and fun to play, then I discovered League of Legends. At first, I was a bit skeptical myself. I thought the cartoon graphics was not good and the cartoon characters were not that awesome as HON but again, I was wrong until I played it.
This game was not a walk in the park. This game changed the way I think in a MoBA game. League of Legends emphasized teamwork and strategy literally unlike when I played DoTA, I was on killing spree and I can take on all of the team's heroes with overpowered items.
I have never played DoTA 2 yet but seen its gameplay and honestly, I preferred HON for the graphics. Maybe if DoTA 2 have come much earlier that HON, I sure play DoTA 2 right now.
I personally suggest that you try other games before judging the best MoBA game for you. Or you can comment below what MoBA game you're playing and why.
I’ve watched many of freddiew’s hilarious and awesome videos
in youtube, and I admit that I’m a fan of his vids. I was always checking out
his video channel for new vids then I saw the trailer of VGHS (Video Game
Highschool) and man was it super cool!!
VGHS a School for gamers
Video Game High school is I think, one of freddiew’s
masterpiece for gamers out there. This webisode is only about 12- 20mins for
each episode and airs every Friday. VGHS is a School for elite and selected
gamers all over the world to compete to be the best gamer in their chosen field.
From FPS gaming to Rhythm gaming, the school covers all of the different fields
which is, by the way, in their school logo.
I became so addicted watching VGHS wherein episode 4 was one of my favourite. This episode features the band The Protomen, a Mega Man themed band. When I learned that
it only has 9 episodes for the first season, I felt bad! But the last episode, episode 9 was great! This should totally be a series or even a movie. Each episode
is really fun and entertaining to watch which is why I open my computer early
in the morning during Friday’s.
VGHS Season 2
I’m not sure when the next season will be. But for those gamers
who haven’t watched it yet, its definitely worth watching it from the beginning
to the end!
You can watch Rocket Jump Production’s VGHS at their
official page here.
Meanwhile, watch this cool trailer of VGHS:
You could also watch freddiew’s awesome videos here in his
channel.
