In Kuma games’ Kuma War, they recreated Osama’s Abottabad mansion and you can actually play it as a level, “After months of surveillance and growing amounts of Intel, 79 Navy SEALs aboard two US Black Hawks and two more Chinooks cross into Pakistan under the cloak of darkness. The commandos quickly breech a secret compound, one designed for defense and manned by al Qaeda killers. In forty minutes and a rain of hot lead, a decades-long, worldwide manhunt for Osama Bin Laden will be ended… by you.”

Haha!

This is one awesome video you shouldn’t miss. So good, it looks like the real thing… wait a minute… it IS.

Feel free to share.

and it was l33t…

I thought that big-ass monitors that almost surround the player was the best 3D FPS experience. Well… I’m about to be proven wrong. The gun (above) was launched at the recent Quake Con by a company called Macrovision.

Touted as the Tuatara, it has all the controls on the gun and it will project the game on any wall. Move the gun up and you can see the sky, move it left and… you get what I mean.

Watch the video… it’s better than my words! Peace!

It’s a secret no more!

Last November 7, 2009, Level Up announced its latest online game – KOS, the first-person-shooter (FPS) game by the same makers of Rohan Online, YNK. During the launch, we gave away P50,000 in cash prizes to an instant tournament at the WTC.

We’ve been playing KOS before the launch for almost a month (secretly, of course). And all I can say is that it’s fast-paced, deadly and LOTS OF FUN!

Video after the jump!

KOS is built on the famous Source graphics engine which is also the platform for such games as Counterstrike, Half-Life and Left 4 Dead (all my favorites).

Aside from the intense and realistic graphics, there are various features that give new dimension to your FPS gaming. Outfit your character with different weapons, uniforms and special abilities, and then create clans with friends to test your skills against others while tracking your progress with the ranking system.

Meanwhile, check out the trailer video we made…

Level Up!, the Philippines’ leading online game publisher, has just announced that it has acquired a First Person Shooter (FPS) online game, the name of which, as well as the developer, remains undisclosed at the moment.

Powered by Valve’s Source engine, a system used in popular and well-received FPS games such as Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike, this new online game promises to give even the most seasoned virtual combatants an explosive experience. Its dynamic light and shadow effects and realistic textures create the most believable characters.

“We are very excited to launch this new game, and we are confident that this will be the FPS game that Filipino gamers will be talking about and getting their action gaming fix from.” says Jane Walker, Level Up! CEO.

Level Up!’s new game is scheduled to have a grand unveiling at no less than the biggest online gaming event in the country, Level Up! Live 2009. Opening on November 7 at the World Trade Center, Pasay City, FPS fans are expected to troop to the annual event to take a crack at what promises to be the hottest online FPS game ever introduced locally.

Hope to seeya all there.

Can anyone guess what the game is?

Me and my gaming buddies absolutely love Zombie flicks and of course, FPS shooters. Valve, the creators of  CS and Half-Life) have combined this into a gaming package that’s already a contender for one of this year’s best games. I’m actually playing it now and all I can say is that “it rocks”. It’s scary and the graphics plus the gameplay will blow your mind away – that is, if you don’t blow of a zombie an infected’s head first.

Left 4 Dead

From the official site: From Valve (the creators of Counter-Strike, Half-Life and more) comes Left 4 Dead, a new kind of action game for the PC and Xbox 360™ that features single player, co-op and multiplayer game modes.

Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D offers four expansive “movie campaigns” that challenge you and your fellow survivors to battle thousands of swarming zombies as you travel across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests. In addition to the movie campaigns, Left 4 Dead features a Versus mode that allows you to play as the Boss Zombies.

Game Features

• Multiplayer, co-op and single player modes.
• 4-on-4 Versus mode, Zombies vs. Survivors. 
• AI Director ensures dynamic re-playability. 
• 4 deep cinematic ‘movie’ campaigns.

• Behind-the-scenes Designer’s Commentary.

The multi-player of this game is DA BOMB! We’re anxious to go into multi-player and do toe-to-toe as Zombies vs Survivors. Once we do, we’ll let you know what the experience is.

At last, something to do on the long Christmas break…

Meanwhile, I leave you with more screenies

Having problems on what to get a gamer friend (or spouse) this Christmas? Here’s something I recently got for just below P500.00 at CD-R King – a USB Gaming Pistol optical mouse. Perfect for the long FPS gaming sessions this Christmas break.

Check out my mini-review, specs and more photos after the break.

USB Gaming Pistol Specs and Features

• High performance precision aluminum trigger
• Over-sized scroll wheel (good rubber)
• Military grade high-density ballistic plastic
• USB
• High speed 800 DPI optical sensor
• Price: PHP 500 (around $10.00)

Basically, the thing is an optical mouse designed as a gun. The scroll wheel is operated by your thumb and there’s a knob at the grip (bottom of trigger) which acts as the left-mouse button, you use this when you zoom with your scope or do anything that an FPS game requires of the left-mouse button.

Setup and Test

Setup was a breeze. Literally plug and play. I plugged it into my PC (even with my real mouse on) and it worked like a charm. I tested it on my current fav FPS game – Crysis. It takes a while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, the fun never stops! I like the idea of holding a real gun in my hands while firing away or sniping at the opponents.

For 500 bucks, this gadget is a gamers’ dream!

Get it for yourself or for any gamer and he (or she) will surely have a great shootin-Christmas!

Graphics video power has grown so fast that many of us can’t keep up with the need for better (and more expensive) video cards. Here’s another reason to save up for Christmas and upgrade your gaming rig – Crysis by EA and developed by Crytek, makers of the uber-cool CryEngine 2 graphics engine used for the game.

Last November 13, Crysis finally shipped out to North America and Europe retail outlets. Featuring jaw-dropping visuals, industry leading technology and open-ended gameplay, Crysis is set to break new ground in the FPS genre and has already received a 98% from PC Gamer, the highest score ever awarded in the magazine’s 14-year history.

“Crysis is the culmination of the dedication and tenacity of everyone here at Crytek who shared the goal of creating a true next-generation FPS,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “Our vision from the beginning was to deliver an immersive, open-ended single-player campaign, to innovative in multiplayer and to give our community a powerful, easy-to-use editor and we’re extremely proud of the end result.”

Check out the cool video after the jump. It will make you drool with realistic lighting and other effects.

Oh well, time to save up money for a new video card. My PC will choke up and die when I try to play this. Sigh
