I’ve been playing this game for a couple of days. Ninja Blade is a nice “hack and slash” action game with some, shall we say “event key sensitive” scenes much like that of Spider-Man 3. It reminds me of Devil May Cry style of sword-fighting having some nice “moves”. Having the capability to upgrade weapons to a much stronger one using what the game calls “Blood Crystals”.
My wired broadband router is getting old and it seems that it is starting to perform a little less reliable and disconnections are kind of becoming frequent so I guess it’s time to change it. I got my little home network a new router, the D-Link DI-604, since the interface is new to me, I have to familiarize myself with it. Fortunately, the device’s user interface is pretty friendly so I got it setup easily. Though unfortunately, base on D-Link website, the product has already been discontinued as of June 1, 2008, I still managed to acquire one. I guess this device would just do fine for my simple home network needs.
The device has 4-port switch with 10/100 ethernet ports for direct connection of a small home or office network of up to 4 PCs or computer. After using it for a day, its performance so far is good. I just hope it would last long given that the product is now discontinued by D-Link.

I heard that this game, Crysis, is a hardware-demanding one, given the performance my pc gained upgrading my video card to a little bit higher one, I tried this game anyway and see how it performs in my rig. I tried it at maximum settings with some anti-aliasing and I just got around 20 FPS, still playable for me (I’m used to playing pc games at around 15 FPS 
). But I decided I wanted my playing to be more smoother so I settled for high settings only and got me around 30 FPS. Well that’s smooth now so on with the playing. Continue reading ‘Crysis’
I’m really fond of playing first person shooter games especially those games that are war simulation, involves stealth missions, you get to choose or pick up a variety of weapons in every mission, new tasks or actions within a mission and so on. So I get to try this game that I’ve heard that’s really good. This game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, in my opinion, is indeed really good, if not, then really awesome. It has all those features I mentioned. Continue reading ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II’
I just upgraded my video card from Geforce 9400 GT to Palit Geforce 9800 GT Green 1GB. It was a necessary upgrade for some graphics and photo editing tasks and as well as some gaming. Well, I can say it’s a good card for value. I did some benchmark and compared it to my previous card and performance was really noticeable. Games having a low FPS, around 15 fps, jumps to a very nice and playable framerate at around 30-50 FPS and occasionally shoots over those rates. Continue reading ‘Palit Gecorce 9800 GT Green 1GB’
