Check out my favourite games!


Whenever I feel bored after finishing my homework, I would either take out my PSP or switch on my computer to play the games Monster Hunter and Left 4 Dead.

Now I'll be talking about Monster Hunter!
Monster Hunter is an RPG game made by Capcom, basically the game essentially, the game revolves around you hunting giant monsters that range from monkeys called Congalala, wyverns like naruga kuruga (the one in the picture) and elder dragons like Lao Shan Lung (yes, 老山龙). See the links I have? skiesofcroda? It's a very nice forum for things related to Monster Hunter!

Basically, there are two types of hunters, blademasters and gunners. As implied by the names, blademasters use melee weapons than can be hammers, greatswords or even lances! Blademaster armours usually have twice the defence of gunner armours as fighting up close to monsters is usually dangerous. Gunners use ranged weapons that are Light bowguns, heavy bowguns and bows. Gunners 'trade' the range capabilities for half the defence of blademasters, this lack of defence usually means that certain monsters are able to make you 'faint' in one hit.

I usually hunt with Kiran, Charley and Nicholas Yuen. I am a gunner and so is Charley, though now he also uses melee weapons more often than me. Nicholas and Kiran are mainly blademasters who use ranged weapons occasionally.

This is a video showing a group of hunters hunting a monster called 'Blangonga'



Here is a video of Left 4 Dead:


The background of this game is that mutation to the stain of rabies and the virus spreads through the human population very quickly, turning them into grotesquely disfigured, as well as very violent zombies that attack the uninfected on sight. You get to play as one of the four uninfected stuck in a city crawling with zombies and you must fight through the hordes of zombies to reach the safety of a rescue vehicle to finish the campaign. There are four campaigns which include five levels which you have to fight through, with the last level called a 'finale' where you must make a stand against the zombies until the rescue vehicle reaches your destination.

There are special types of infected, and they are all shown in the video. The first one shown was the witch, in one in the room with the red eyes that was wailing and suddenly lurching at the survivors the moment she noticed them, the witch can kill you in one hit on the hardest diffculty and most people avoid it whenever they manage to discover it without it noticing them.

Next shown was the smoker, which uses it tongue to strangle and pull the survivors away when the others are not watching. Even when the smoker s\gets killed, it leaves behind a huge amount of smoke that temporarily blinds the survivors.

Up next was the hunter, swift, fast, agile and deadly. The hunter moves about and quickly pounces on unsuspecting humans, the only way to get it off you is for the other survivors to hit it off you.

Lastly, there was the tank. the huge zombie is what the incredible Hulk would look like if he got infected, he can toss cars at you, rush through walls, and he kills in 2 to 3 hits. What else do you need?

There is another special infected that the video does not show.it is the boomer, the boomer vomits a bile-like liquid on you that would blind you and attract zombies toward you. even when killed, the boomer explodes and the bile-like liquid would also land on survivors nearby.

Well, that's pretty much about Left 4 Dead, yes, I admit it is quite scary but it sure is fun!
