Well its been a long time since I have posted here. Been very busy with college and IMing. Anyway I got a day off due to ONAM. For those of you who have no idea what Onam is, it’s a harvest festival of Kerala.

I had a copy of Wolfenstein, the new PC game and I popped it in and installed it today. I finished the game in 6 hours or less. Took a couple of breaks in between. Anyway this is what I felt:

The story plays pretty smoothly and not a bad storyline either. The players are given an unfair advantage with respect to the medallion and the crystals. The bad guys rarely stand a chance. I played the game in the normal mode and had no problems picking off the targets. I pretty much sailed through. A caution here, the game is extremely linear. The compass points, you go, enemies in between, you shoot. As simple as that. There is no food for your mind.

The weapons are great. Especially some of the more native ones like the cannon and such. I especially liked the upgrades that you can buy from the black-market. Gold is pretty easy to come by and hence the add-ons are almost a given.

Enemies are VERY stupid. AI is bad; I mean they run straight at you. The dialogs used by the soldiers are very limited, gets annoying after a while. But people who like to gun down things and blow things up are going to love this. Pure and simple mindless fun.

In spite of all this, the game was pretty fun to play. Enjoyed my day off. I would rate the game as 8/10 .

PS: I haven’t played the multiplayer yet.
