DmC: Devil May Cry PC Video Game




 DmC: Devil May Cry (PC Video Game)




Oh! Wait is it Dante? O yeah it is him. Cooler than its original appearance and with a pinch of western look , Dante is back and  this time with a bang. If you are an action game lover , than trust me you owe yourself to own DmC. Playing the game on your PC with a high end graphics card is a total different experience, may it be the cut-scene , the gameplay , fast slicing of enemy coupled with different acrobatic stunts everything looks stunning.

It was thought to be dreadful when a game like this one (being one of the most popular games of Capcom)  handed over to ninja theory. Previous versions of DmC were developed by Capcom and it being a japan based establishment has a main stream of fan followers from that part of the globe but when the game was decided to be handed to ninja theory which is a western based establishment with an average track record, it was bound to get rotten eggs and tomatoes, however the game rocked!

I personally felt that the gameplay of DmC was better than all its predecessor, the camera control is stable and it could be controlled with your mouse motion (unlike its predecessors).

Whatever be the changes in the appearances of our game’s protagonist but DmC is similar to its original versions at its core. This Game is not a sequel but a reboot. DmC: devil may cry is cool action packed game with our same Quick witted protagonist( slightly changed in appearance)but with whole new storyline.



The story of the game is set in modern days and it is beautifully portrayed and as we proceed in the game the story unfolds and it tells us all about the origin of  its protagonist Dante. The game reveals that he is a nephilim (child of an angel mother Eve and  demon father Sparda ). Dante fights his way throughout the game together with his long lost brother Vergil. Dante is helped by a hooded figure while his times in limbo who introduces herself as Kat (limbo was a parallel world of demons but is hidden from humans in the game) to finish the king of hell Mundus (primary antagonist of this game) in order to avenge his mother’s murder and to save humanity.




Dante has two categories of weapons. The first category is angelic weapons and the second is demonic weapons. The angelic weapons are faster to strike multiple demons while the demonic weapons are slower but causes more damage (comes handy to breakthrough enemy’s shields) . There is also an angelic and a demonic grappling hook. The angelic grapple hook was used to pull yourself towards something (either a platform or a demon) while the demonic grapple hook came handy to pull something towards yourself. While in the middle of cutting and slicing different kinds of demons these grapple hooks was very effective to use as it allowed us to charge towards enemy or bring the enemy down to us (more effective on flying enemies). And when these movements are coupled with the melee attacks gained loads of style points.



Two parallel world exists in this game. First where the humans exists and the other which is demon’s world aka limbo city. Though the humans could not perceive the other side, the effects and damaged caused in limbo is reflected in human world. There are also mini challenges in the game which could be unlocked with a special type of keys found at some place in the game.

The game lacks when it comes to its boss fights , they are too easy to get through, in addition to that there aren’t much puzzles to solve. Other than that its superb!



Finally , I want you to ask yourself that are you a hardcore action game lover who likes a pinch of erotic contents in the game, If the answer is YES, this is the game you don’t wanna miss. You will definitely enjoy every bit of the game. I give it 8.5 out of 10.

Darksiders 2 Pc Video Game



From ages i wanted to do something in the field of virtual world, but due to lack of confidence I never did it, until now. On 1st October, 2012 I finally decided to give it a try and start to blog.

A journey to thousand miles starts with a single step

My father always says that to do something the most important and the most difficult thing is to begin with. Its all about starting that is taking the initial steps. If the beginning is nice and beautifully portrayed, it will be engraved in others mind and will surely be successful. Its well said that "Morning shows the day", this means the status of the whole day can easily be predicted by its morning. Now you know why its important for the beginning to be perfect. And this was the reason why I was frightened to commence.

As I said, I was scared to flinch, but deep inside me I was dying to stretch my legs in this field, all I needed was a little push and inspiration.  On 7th September, 2012, I was connected to Facebook and was going through recent updates from my friends. There I came across a link shared by one of my friend (He is one of the MSPs of Microsoft and  a superb blogger) Rahul Mathur well known as “WEEMUNDO”  in the world of blogging, Clicking on that link, I was redirected to one of his recent blog on  his web site www.wpsauce.com. The way he wrote his blog really fascinated me and the urge to start my own blog grew stronger. On that day I decided no matter what it takes I have to do it (no matter whether its appreciated or not) after all It's better to have fought and lost than to have never fought at all.

I was all set to start, but I didn’t have the clue what to write about. Well, I did some research and read loads of pages so as what to write for my first Blog post I spent a whole week on this but didn’t come to any decision. I was exasperated with myself. Taking all the anxiety in my mind I went off to sleep.  In my dream I saw that I got a topic to start, the theme was PC-GAMES. When I woke up on the following morning, everything was crystal clear. I was thrilled and wanted to start right away as Games are the second Love of my Life (Don’t ask about the First ;) But I controlled myself as I didn’t want to make rush on with it. I wanted my first post to be worth reading atleast and  that required some time and a lot of deep study about the subject (plus I had to complete a game before rating it or writing anything about it) .

I consulted my friend (Rahul)  about my theme and he gave me loads of tips and shared his valuable experiences, that really acted like a catalyst to my self-reliance  and boosted my confidence.


So here I am on the verge of starting my first blog, hope to get positive response and support from you all



                                DARKSIDERS 2 (PC video game)





Another action pack game for action game lovers from Vigil games,
Better than its predecessor, Darksiders 2 is here to stay and make you
glued in front of your PCs and you will want the death to live!

Wall Run similar to POP

 The Acrobatics used in the game, for instance, vertical run on walls or side run on walls in order
to cross gaps is very much same as Prince of Persia (POP). Similar to POP
Death can continue side wall run between 2 parallel walls to cross much
longer gaps or using combos in order to reach the desired place in game
(Similar to prince of Persia Ghost of the past). So my suggestion is
that if you are a POP fan, this game is not to be missed.

Darksider's protagonist or in other words "War" is surely out shined by his brother
"Death". The fighting skills and the smoothness provided by Vigil games
in the second installment in Darksiders franchise is far better and more
lengthy experience for its fans than its predecessor.

Darksiders 2 takes its player to the awesome world of Death who follows
his journey to restore mankind and redeem his brother War. The game
provides a balance of action and puzzle with a blend of some dramatic
narrative style.

Darksiders franchise is basically about The Four Horsemen of the
Armageddon. Among the Four horsemen(Conquest, War, Famine and Death),
this games is about Death who believes that his brother is wrongly judged by the
Charred Council for destroying the mankind. Death defying the Council's
orders fights his way throughout the game solving puzzles and thrashing
demons, beasts, cracking skeletons and seeking out treasure. The main
objective of Death is to reach the tree of life in order to restore
mankind.

Our new hero is packed with a fast primary weapon and heavy secondary
weapon that is slow but delivers powerful strikes, plus a number of
special abilities are also to be gained as the game unfolds like
death grip, exhume or splitting soles (this helps in puzzle solving).
The game has a complex and huge map but to ease its complications we are
provided with Dust, a raven that helps Death to find the way to reach
the current objective and Despair, a horse for faster traveling when
in open areas.Darksiders 2 can easily played if the player know to
dodge and attack at correct time.
Darksider's protagonist Death with his raven Dust

The game lacks when it comes to strategies that’s because most of its
enemies doesn’t requires any strategy to kill just keep moving, keep
attacking and keep dodging and you are through.

The game proves that size doesn’t matter as in the game you will be
encountered by huge demons during the boss fight that will surely put
your real gaming skill to test.

With excellent storyline and graphics Darksiders 2 compels its player
stick with it till the very end.. This 30-35 hours game is packed with
action, adventure, puzzles in a mythological environment.

Finally i want to say that this game is enjoyable and my suggestion to
you is that if you are a lover of action games then its definitely
worth checking out but at the same time the  game also suffers a number
of glitches that degrades its overall rating. I give it 8 out of 10.
