GOD OF WAR (Harold Farmer)

Loosely based on Greek mythology, the game is set in Ancient Greece with the player controlling the protagonist Kratos, a Spartan warrior in the service of the Olympian Gods. Kratos is tasked by the goddess Athena to kill Ares, the God of War, who is also revealed to be responsible for Kratos accidentally murdering his wife and child. As Ares ravages Athens, Kratos embarks on a quest to find the one object capable of stopping the god: the legendary Pandora's Box.
Kratos is a warrior in the service of the Greek gods of Olympus. Kratos was once a captain in the Spartan army. A stronger warrior, Kratos led his army to several victories, until finally overmatched by an invading army of barbarians. Kratos called to the God of War, Ares. The Spartan promised to serve Ares if the god would providing him the power to destroy their enemies.

Ares hears Kratos' prayer, and gave him the "Blades of Chaos" (a pair of chain blades)to his new servant. The Spartan then returns to the war with the Barbarian King and decapitates his foe. Ares, however, tricks Kratos by placing his wife and child in the village, which he accidentally burned. Although Ares intends for this act to make Kratos the perfect warrior, the Spartan renounces his servitude to the god.  Now the "Ghost of Sparta", Kratos is plagued by nightmares.Eventually tired of his servitude, he asked for help to Athena, who states that if Kratos performs one final deed – the murder of Ares – he will be forgiven for the murder of his family. Athena assigns Kratos to destroy Ares because Zeus has forbidden divine intervention.

This is another excellent video game because you have total control on your chapter.While playing , you can up-grade your weapons or armor.You will improve your skills if you practice a lot.You have to complete the missions.Next you will add points in your powers and skills.As I told you , you have to save your game in each cheakpoint.Otherwise you will start again.In conclusion , God of War will catch your attention only if you like mithological stories.Otherwise ,you must try to play other kind of videogames.

Wolverine:Origins!! (Harold Farmer)

Wolverine Origins is a video game published by Marvel Comics from November 2001 to March 2002, written by Bill Jemas, Joe Quesada and Paul Jenkins, and illustrated by Andy Kubert (pencils) and Richard Isanove (color).

Origin tells the story of the superhero Wolverine, best known as a member of the X-Men. Since the character first appeared in the early 1970s his history had often been shrouded in mystery,but  this series was the first to reveal Wolverine's early days and his original background. In their introductions, some of those who worked on the series express their reluctance to reveal the actual origins of one of the comic world's most popular and mysterious characters. Even Wolverine himself has few recollections of where he came from and this was an essential part of his appeal.

Two mutant brothers, Logan and Victor, born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on. Basically, they're fighters and killers, living from war to war through U.S. history. In modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker, recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher. When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker's crew, the colonel sends the murderous Victor. Logan now wants revenge.

I´ve played this game cautiously because it is so difficult . Only if you are a pro-gamer you can try playing in hard mode but if you are a noob player you must play it in easy mode otherwise  you wont enjoy it .First of all , you have to get a good joinstick , for example a sony one or a Samsung one both of them are good.Most importantly , try to save your game in each cheakpoint otherwise you have to start from the beginig.It´s clear that playing videogames involver emotions so you will find them playing Wolverine: origins.

RESIDENT EVIL 5 !!(HAROLD FARMER)

The setting of Resident Evil 5 has a similar feel to the film Black Hawk Down.The game is clearly a direct sequel to the Resident Evil series and continues chronologically after Resident Evil 4. The player characters and protagonists are Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, and the game takes place in Africa .

During the game's events, he is a member of a group known as Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), and sent to investigate a terrorist bio-organic weapon (BOW) threat in an African desert area in Kijuju, that serves as the game's setting The antagonists of the game include Albert Wesker, a returning antagonist to the series, and Excella Gionne, a relative of the founder of the Tricell Pharmaceutical Company who operates the company's African branch.Oswell E.Spencer, the founder of Umbrella Corp. and a key figure in the background story of the series since the original Resident Evil, is also included in a flashback

Here is my comment about it. I´ve been playing video games since I was a child.Resident Evil 5 is a great game.Basically ,you will enjoy it and also you can have fun playing multiplayer mode with your friends.You could get extra misión if you finish the game in hard mode.The adrenaline will start as soon as you start the game so you will improve your skills only if you practice daily.

(VICTOR VIVANCO PAREDES) SURROUNDED OF CARS

Could you tell me if we are surrounded of cars?

Unfortunately, the answer is “yes, we are”.

As we can see it is going to be a future problem, as people are buying cars every year!!!

So do you know where is going to go too many cars?

Actually, we don`t. but the reality is this.

Nowadays, cars are increasing dramatically, even though we know that it will be a future problem.

we can say everyone has one car or more, because, cars have made our lives more convenient, also the car allows moving freely. and with a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the cold or under the burning sun.

But, in the other hand, this huge numbers of cars are causing numerous troubles.

For example, more environmental pollution happening ,where they consume huge amounts of fuel and produce huge amounts of poisonous gas which pollute the atmosphere causing actual harm to the health of people.

A friend told me that we can not find a solution for this increasing phenomenon problem radically, but we can reduce it, There are two ways to solve this, firstly, while diminishing exporting and importing the cars or develop cars with new technology which are more environmental friendly, the government can require taxes on the people for their cars also they can encourage people to use public transports with less charge. The government can also rebuild new roads to avoid traffic jams.               

To summarize: not only the government must help stopping the future problem; we can do more than them, stopping to buy cars. Otherwise we will get in trouble in the future transportation.

Do you imagine it?
