2009-05-28T00:20:00.005+06:00

It has been almost 6 months since a post has been made. Well, long story short; their were many problems. Finally when they were resolved i thought it was better to give Psychogamerz a whole new Look, but the long & confusing name didn't go with it, so we are changing its name to xELECTRIFIED! And will be hosting it at Wordpress at its own domain, thats right; www.xelectrified.com. It will be up and ready really soon, so wait. ;-)

Halo Wars

2008-12-09T19:24:00.006+05:00

Microsoft announced that Halo Wars, the strategy game based on the legendary halo universe exclusively for the XBOX360 will hit North American retailers on 3rd March while Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific will get it a week before i.e. 27 Feburary.
Too bad for me, ill be busy in my final examinations.

Microsoft also reminds us that pre-ordering the game will get you a special in-game called "Honour Gaurd", a graphic novel, six leader cards and a "Spirit of Fire" Patch along with Bungie's Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3. Looks like Microsoft is doing whatever it can to promote its one of most famous gaming series.

Logitech ChillStream Controller

2008-11-17T17:42:00.000+05:00

This is my favourite controller. Logitech has made a heck of a controller. What is so special about the controller? I'll tell you; the controller has built-in cooling fan which keeps the Gaming Psycho's hands "sweat-less" during intense gaming sessions which makes it easy to defeat your enemy.This is definitely what every gamer needs.

The Controller has sleek body and shape, with high power fans. Although the layout is a little similar to XBOX 360's controller, its a shame it does not support it but it fully supports PlayStation3 and ofcourse the basic platform is the computer (only supports Windows). I dont know about PS2. Another drawback of the controller is that its not wireless or else it could have gone much far, but the USB does it as good. The controller is great but sometimes on high power mode, its fan's noise kinda disturbs me so i recommend wearing headphones, while using it. This is certainly a great product from Logitech and an important gear for all gamerz.

Devil May Cry 4

2008-11-14T23:14:00.000+05:00

Devil May Cry... One of the finest series of CAPCOM. And its fourth installment is here. It was announced in March 2007 that the game would be released simultaneously for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. In the game, the player controls both Nero, and Dante, the game's protagonist and the series' title character respectively and fights enemies in close combat using firearms, swords, and other weapons.

The characters Lady and Trish from previous games in the series make appearances, along with new characters Nero, Kyrie, Credo, Gloria, and Agnus. The game's story is set after Devil May Cry and before Devil May Cry 2. The player must fight through levels called "missions", occasionally solving puzzles or gathering items. Hanges introduced into Devil May Cry 4 are the presence of two playable characters, Dante and Nero, and a slight modification to the shop system.The player plays as Dante through seven missions, taking over halfway through the game. His gameplay is similar to that of Devil May Cry 3, with him having access to multiple melee and ranged weapons which he gains after boss battles, and being able to cycle through them freely in combat, being no longer limited to equipping two weapons of each type as he was in the previous game. Dante also starts with his four styles (Trickster, Royal Guard, Sword Master, Gunslinger), each of which grants him different abilities.

The gameplay is addictive, leaving plenty of room for experimenting with tons of cool moves and fighting styles. There's even some replay value here, seeing as you can always return and complete the game using a different difficulty mode and revisit secret missions you weren't able to finish first time around. Devil May Cry 4 is a good game if you're prepared to overlook certain downsides - first and foremost, the controls and camera. Next up, there's a solid amount of backtracking and there are a few recurring boss fights. Even so, the game is well-polished and it certainly looks sharper and better than on the console editions. What's more, it should appeal to fans and newbies alike.

Crysis Warhead {PC}

2008-11-09T15:34:00.000+05:00

Here comes the sequel to the game "CRYSIS", you take the roll of Sergeant Sykes aKa Psycho who i think is a foul-mouthed bastard. You will experience Psycho's parallel story during the gameplay along with another character Nomad (Syke's Partner). The game is even more intense and explosive than ever before and gives the FPS gamer what he truly deserves. The game's high DirectX 10 graphics give it an edge but its poor sound quality takes it off the top games {The sound was good but i didn't feel the surround sound experience that i was hoping for}. I rate it a "8.5". The game has jaw-dropping features but it came with unrealisitically steep system requirements, which held back may gamerz from playing/buying it. The game had been a greater success if not for the extreme system requirements and thats also one of the reasons why it took alot of time to release.

The game starts off confusing the player like many other games and you are escaping from enemy attacks. The game is really very hard cuz i m not a big fan of Shooter games, i am still palying the game and would end it about 3 weeks or so. I am also preparing its walkthroughs and would post them on the blog as soon as i am done but till then you can use these cheats i managed to get my hand on. if you dont understand how to use them, plz leave me a comment and i will let you know by email. (1) MSWord format (2) HTML forma t

The Player is also able to customize his weapons, giving the player full access to his way of fighting needs. The game is full of weapons and tools much like BLACK, but alien encounters are less as compared to its prequel Crysis. Well the bottomline: KICKASS GAME

The Requirements for superb gameplay:

OS: Windows XP/Vista
Processor: >2.2GHz Intel Core2Duo/Athlon X2
Ram : 2GB
GFX Card: >512MB {>8000 Nvidia GT Series/ATI Radeon 2000 Series}
Sound Card: 5.1 Surround Sound {DirectX 9.0c}
DirectX: {DirectX 9.0c or DirectX10}
HD Space: 14 GB Free
Optical Drive:DVD-ROM (Dual Layer Supporting)

It costs ~$25 but in Pakistan you can get it as less as Rs.80 (~1 Dollar).
You can also Get its Serial & NO-CD-CRACK from here.

XFX's nvidia 790i Ultra MotherBoard

2008-11-03T00:49:00.000+05:00

One thing is for sure, NVIDIA has done a fantastic job on its reference design. I dont know what to say about the damn Motherboard but its a sure killer. I was a huge fan of ASUS Gaming ROG Gear until XFX and nvidia came along with GTX 280 Graphics Card and "THE" 790i ULTRA Motherboard. I got a chance to test one when i my cousin bought it on my recommendation.

The board took on a great load for a continous 3 days, with Core2Quad Q6600 Processor, 8GB of Ram, 1500Watt Power Supply, a 9600GT Graphics Card and Windows Vista, along with Playback of ~70 songs, downloading of 2 Movies (1MB link; took ~1.5 days) and the rest, it was just on and i was sleeping or eating. After that my cousin felt he is gonna have a loss of 25,000 Rupees(+ All extra stuff), so i ended my testing process.

The great features of the board are:

Supports DDR3 (2GHz)
3 Way SLI and also supports Quad SLI
8 Phase Surround Sound (Good but not that Good)
Extreme Overclocking
SPDIF Out
2 Ethernet, 1 eSATA, 1 1349a ports
and much much more

The Board's a MUST BUY (Of course when you have money). I recommend buying it from GALAXY COMPUTERS (The specialists in Gaming PCs). Their Hardware prices are less as compared to any other national shop that i know and you can order online or order by phone.

Order at:
order@galaxy.com.pk 042-5784720 (Lahore)
021-2430972-2433734 (Karachi)
+92 313 3505009 (SMS Only)

Once you order through email or phone, after confirmation, you will be notified and you have to deposit the required amount to MCB or Askari Banks near you. The item would be delivered to your house.

NFS Undercover

2008-10-30T20:22:00.018+06:00

I took my time writing on Need for Speed's next Installment "Undercover", but this would hopefully be better than Need for Speed's Last flop part "ProStreet". Last two parts weren't a big hit like Most Wanted, so EA decided to bring the characters back to like.
According to the interview of EA's CEO John Riecitellio, the game would be based on a complete story, and would be just like the upcoming movies, like transporter., and will also feature cops. Since Need For Speed Underground, EA has been featuring hot girls in every NFS title and this year too we have two hot babes for Need For Speed: Undercover, Christina Milian and the Die Hard girl Maggie Q.

BLACK {PS2}

2008-10-29T15:36:00.000+06:00

BLACK…. One of the best games I have ever played. As I am GIG FAN of shooter games and love to play them, BLACK is leading them all. It’s been 5 months I heard form my pal that BLACK, a shooter game has been released and it has simply AWESOME graphics and is a really tough to beat… I couldn’t stand the challenge. 3 weeks later the game, ended, was in my hands.

The game is all about lots of guns, lots of

ammos, lots of shooting. I call the game "Gun Porn", just for that, and of course its rated: M-Mature (18+) Everything in the game says "Lets have fun shooting stuff!" The game also delivers a great gameplay, but after the first few levels it gets confusing. It could have been over the top fun, but it settled for teetering on the edge.

Black takes place in western Russia, placing the player in the shoes of a "black ops" soldier named Sergeant First Class Jack Kellar. Kellar tells most of the story in first-person at an interrogation four days after the events in the story begin.

Kellar is a poorly disciplined member of a CIA black ops group and a veteran of several conflicts including Guatemala, Colombia, Iran and Croatia. The unknown interrogator questions Kellar about an arms smuggling and terrorist operation called the Seventh Wave. Seventh Wave have been responsible for a number of terrorist attacks.

Kellar is told that, unless he co-operates, he and his actions will be declassified, he will be dishonorably discharged and imprisoned for life. Though initially resistant, Kellar at last agrees to tell his story.

The game is mission-based, with each mission separated by a cut scene video. On harder difficulties, there are more objectives that must be completed before the player can progress. These extra objectives involved collecting various intelligence documents, blue prints, or destroying parts of the environment. These are all indicated by the HUD cross-hair changing color when the player points at the relevant object.

The game play is essentially a straight forward “run and gun” shooter. Players can only carry two weapons at a time; therefore, strategy is needed when choosing weaponry, with weapons differing in characteristics. The player also carries a number of grenades, which can be thrown without switching weapons. Land mines and grenades can be detonated prematurely by shooting them. This is a particularly useful tactic, as enemies will run from a live grenade and escape its blast. It is interesting to note that throwing a grenade or firing a rocket into a small windowed building, will completely destroy the interior and throw its occupants out the windows, regardless of their position and distance from the explosion, in spectacular fashion.

At last i would like to say to you all first person-shooter freaks that THERE AIN'T NO BETTER TACTICAL AND STEALTH GAME THAN THIS...... Must check it out and please post comments, if you liked it or have some more ideas.... Thanks

GTX 280: The GFX Card for all Psychos

2008-10-25T22:45:00.002+06:00

The Beast of All Graphics Cards is here...

The GTX 200 Series of nVidia's Graphics Cards has been released, it got me a little time collecting all necessary information on it, but believe me this card is not like any other; its a beast of a card.

The card has 1.4 freak'n billion transistors slapped onto a silicon chip. The nVidia's geek club calls their all investment and work, the "GPU and Beyond Approach". They want us to believe that this is not the same old graphics shit which is just for games. This is the next generation of all graphics cards, and does possibly much much more than increasing gaming graphics.

The card has 240 cores, 3-way SLI support, HD technology, Built-in PhysX Processor, CUDA Technology, OpenGL 2.1 & DirectX 10 Support, PCI Express 2.0 Support, Direct HDTV & Dual-Link DVI Output and is Dual-Link HDCP Capable. In English it means that its a heck of a Graphics Card.

The graphics card is available only to DDR3 Technology, and comes with atleast 1GB of memory. It allows for a brilliant H.624 (HDTV) class video decoding and takes the complete load of the CPU. Although the card does not fully support DirectX 10.1, it fully supports DirectX 10. One of the best features about the card is, that it has a built-in PhysX Processor (A Technology nVidia introduced much earlier), for which people had to get a Physx Card to play some games like Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, Bionic Commando, 2 Days to Vegas and many more.
I would just like to say one more thing while ending this post:
Get the damn Card! You are gonna get one anyway, so why dont you just spend some money now, and enjoy for the next 10 (max) years. Just think, you are getting 2 nvidia 9800GTS Cards being SLI together, an Ageia PhysX Processing Unit and about everything a graphics designer/extreme gamer/media psycho needs.

I might as well get one, but i dont have the money; Maybe next year on my birthday.

GTA IV on PC!

2008-10-23T14:24:00.001+06:00

Well, as the name tells....

I am a huge fan of GTA games, and have played almost all parts, but the real fun is playing on the computer. Although most of the people disagree with that, i stick to my statement. It was a shock for me to hear that no more GTA games for PC (i have a PS2 and PSP, but the fun is playing on my PC)- I abused the damned PS2 and PS3 and the bloody RockStar games for hours.
But One day, while surfing through the net, i saw written GTA 4 on PC. That was the moment when my heart filled with joy and... and...

Mera dil baagh baagh ho gaya.

So the point is GTA 4 is being released on PC, and i have already marked my calender. In September RockStar games announced that they would release GTA IV on PC, in November. Yeah, thats the perfect birthday present for me. In North America, it would be released on 18th November and in Europe, it would be relesed on 21st November. But for Pakistan.... what can i say, we'll get it before its released anywhere else.

When it comes to gameplay (i got a chance to play it on my cousin's PS3), the game has a very amazing level of detail, supports 8 phase surround sound (7.1 dolby digital DTS), mindblowing realistic effects, and much more. I would be able to write a much more detailed reveiw, once i get my hands on it, only 1 month more. Its 100% guaranteed to support DirectX10 (see my review). Well, waiting for it anxiously.

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core {PSP}

2008-10-18T22:38:00.000+06:00

Set seven years before the original Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core focuses around the the infamous ShinRa Company and it's war with the prosperous Western continent of Wutai.

You play as Zack Fair, a young man who is striving to become a highly ranked First-Class SOLDIER in the elite ShinRa army, along with his best friend, Cloud Strife. But after the disappearance of Genesis (a powerful First-Class SOLDIER), the ShinRa Company soon send Zack, his mentor Angeal, and Sephioth (the antagonist of FFVII) to recover their lost comrade, and put an end to the war. But things don't quite go to plan, and a cruel struggle of fate soon awaits Zack...

The game introduces many new features as; As an action-RPG, Crisis Core introduces a new Battle System to the Final Fantasy series: the Digital Mind Wave (DMW). Being similar to the Limit Break system from the original Final Fantasy VII, the DMW system revolves around a series of slots in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, that show the faces of characters that Zack has met on his journey.

How the character uses DMW will determine what sort of abilites and strengths Zack will have at the end of the game. Random encounters are also back, but not in a way that Final Fantasy fans will expect. There are no transitions or Loading times this time around. Instead, the battles begin on the screen that the player is viewing, while the display menus pop-up. You can access almost anything or any weapon, magic, etc. from them. There are times when you'll need to take advantage of your material and dodge oncoming attacks. Nevertheless, for the first half of the game, Crisis Core is remarkably easy, and a lot of battles come down to mashing on the X button. There is no shortage of potions and gil (the series' currency), either, and given that you can purchase items at any save point, there's no reason not to be fully stocked.

The game's stunning cutscenes have an immeasurable effect on the emotionally resonant story. There is a harmonious mix of pre-rendered cinematics and in-engine cutscenes, and both were created with precision. Dramatic camera angles frame Crisis Core's greatest moments, from earth-shaking soliloquies to the quiet pauses Zack and Aerith share. There is a standout scene in which Sephiroth comes into deep focus using a cinematography technique familiar to Alfred Hitchcock fans. This kind of range is rare in cutscenes, even in RPGs, yet it's never forced or overdone here.

The quality is further enhanced by incredible voice acting. Past Final Fantasies have sometimes suffered from awkward English voice-overs, but each actor here delivers the right degree of emotion at the right time, which in turn gives weight to the story. As Zack matures, you can hear the newfound confidence replace his adolescent arrogance; when Angeal tells Zack that he's just a little more important than his sword, you can hear a subtle grin in his deep, commanding baritone.

God of War Chains of Olympus {PSP}

2008-10-16T18:09:00.000+06:00

The game of real gore and violence is none other than God Of War(tm).

I was finally able to play one of my favourite games when my dad got me GOW Chains of Olympus bundle of PSP from singapore, and after ending the game i just had to tell the world about the amazing game.
With its another game, The Chains Of Olymus, (the PSP) it has again mesmerized the gaming world with its violent experience. Although this is my first post, i couldn't resist reviewing this game on the blog, although the game is quite old.

When the world plunges into darkness, you are forced to choose between your own personal redemptions of saving the world of man and gods from destructions.........

This third outing with Kratos (which is actually a prequel to the first title) is doing its best to keep up with its console brothers, and it just so happens that it’s the best looking PSP game released yet. Along with amazing graphics and just as brutal as ever, the game also has a very interesting environmental variety, and the gameplay is very similar to the console versions. Seems that sony has been able to maintain the game's true standard even on PSP.

The game takes us back to the time when the war with Aries (The real greek God Of War) hadn't took place. On his adventure, Kratos will visit set-piece after set-piece that continually puts the last one to shame. From the battle-torn streets of Attica to the amazing backdrop of Tartarus, each level is more grandiose than the last with stunning scope and size. What’s even more impressive is that many of the environmental backdrops also serve as puzzle components so that each part of a stage fits like a puzzle piece into the entire layout. Everything about the series has been nailed perfectly, including the trademark quick-time event mini-games to defeat some of the bigger enemies.
Well, its a MUST BUY game.... I wont just ruin the suspense.

Gears of War for PC

2008-10-15T19:56:00.001+06:00

I just got my new Gears of War for Windows Game and believe me its awesome. Along with Super High Graphics supporting DirectX10 (see the review) it also has great sound and gives the gamer a true gaming experience. And thats just not it, it also includes a free LIVE(c) silver membership.

“Gears of War” thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.

It is an extremely violent, action, survival and strategy game including strong language. You play as Marcus Fenix and his fire team as you pit advanced technology against the overwhelming and horrific Locust Horde. You have to employ strategy, take cover in the dynamic and realistic environments and destroy your enemy by blind-fire using your enemies' own weapons and team mates against them.

The game gives the player an excellent (and foolishly violent) gaming experience with a rich and dynamic world with a supreme level of detail & texture, while the characters com to life with unbelievable model quality.

It supports WindowsXP as well as Windows Vista. The game is really very heavy on the graphics and also takes 12GB of installation space. It also includes a game editor for enthusiasts to create their very own levels along with complete access to the unreal editor. Using the game editor, players can import custom artwork into the engine, create particle systems scripted encounters, cinematics and more.

On a WindowsXP platform the gamers, do not deserve the real graphics detail they deserve because WinXP does not support DirectX 10. Its WindowsXP working crack is available on my this post about DirectX 10, but i recommend not using the crack at all, it may corrupt your windows files, or even may leave a great damage to your windows, although it is working fine on my WinXP and has increased the detail of the game. Whatever you do with it is completely your responsibility. In Pakistan, the Razor1911 cracked edition of the game is available, For the people who don't know how to crack it, you can download my help file.

Minimum Requirements:
OS : WindowsXP or Windows Vista
Processor(intel) : 2.2Ghz (P4 and Greater)
Processor(AMD) : 2Ghz
RAM : 1GB
HD Space : 10GB
GFX Card : (128mb) nVidia Ge-Force 6600GT / ATI X700

DirectX 10 : Soul of Games

2008-10-14T20:09:00.001+06:00

what good is a game with bad graphics?

I believe that good, no, great graphics are essential for an excellent gaming experience. For this purpose comes, microsoft's DirectX, it is an application which greatly increases the graphics and sound quality of games.

The latest release on DirectX is its DirectX 10, which i believe is essential for all games, many dont care about that, thats where they are wrong. Games can work without them, but if you have bought a game then its your right to enjoy it to the fullest. See yourself how it improves the games' graphics:

These sceneries are from Microsoft's Flight SimulatorX, See what i am talking about.
Its amazing how much the graphics have been improved.

The problem is that DirectX 10 can only be installed on Windows Vista (or Later) and only on the genuine (uncracked) version of Vista (I m talking about Pakistanis).

To download DirectX 10 CLICK HERE from the original Games for Live(c) site.

There is also a cracked edition of DirectX 10 for Windows XP, available here, but i recommend not using it although it is working fine on my WinXP and has increased the graphics of Gears of War Game (by Windows Live Games) because its CRACKED.
You can also download it through torrents.Click here to download its torrent file. Click here for more torrent searches. If you download the cracked version do it for only trying or testing purposes, if you like it then install the genuine version on genuine windows. I am completely against these cracked stuff, (unless i am using it-kidding).

You need a DirectX 10 compatible Graphics card to use it. The main are:
All Nvidia Ge-Force Model #s greater than 8300
All Nvidia Ge-Force GTX Series (> year2008)
All ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series and greater
