Mute Heroes..

Must be hard saving the world. All the adrenaline rush, gun - ho blazing, dismemberment, lame-ass boss and not to mention to all the ladies that's along for the ride. Bet its also hard for those people how do talk much, or even too macho to show emotions. Chances are, someone else end up bitch slapping them up. Most overused for silent people in game world are:-

Gordon Freeman from Half-Life series.

Gordon freeman has a tough life, just so happens that he is a scientist who doesnt even speak at all. He has an IQ of 240 and arms himself with a crowbar and a gravity gun, doesnt strikes him well. Either he is cursed to a handicapped or just dont know how to make speak.



Jack from Bioshock

At the start of the game, Jack never had an introduction, nor a face. A survivor of a plane crash and unrevealed himself to the underwater city of Rapture. Even throughout the game he doesnt even whine or shed sound on what is going on, nor even bother to ask the little sisters what the f##k is this place!!

Sergeant First Class "Soap" McTavish from Modern Welfare.

Trained under the command of Captain Price, Private Soap Mctavish was a bad habit of not answering the Captains call or even his questions. Instead the silent treatment gave him the rank of Captain after the killing off a Russian terrorist leader. I wonder if it works in the real world?

Issac Clark from Dead Space

Issac Clark is a engineer for a mining organisation who doesnt take crap from anyone. When the whole operation got screwed up, he never seems to bother to asked anyone what really does happened. Living by a code of " Don't ask, don't tell" philosophy, just-follow-orders-and-everything-will-be-fine solution. Just aim and shoot, aim and shoot..

The Jackal from Far Cry 2

moving on.....

Samus Aran from Metroid series

The Metroid Sagas has stepped every challenged, climbed every obstacles, shoot the living hell out of everything and survived. The reason it doesn't speak that shows bravery and courage knows no boundaries. Until it took off its mask.. guess you don't even thought of it haven't you.. it's actually a woman!! Dressed in an armored suit poised as an all time "alpha male" adored by the every male nerds who wants to emulate "him". Guess that courage knows no gender either..

Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves



Nathan Drake has returned and hungry for more action, drama, treasures and more women... Developers Naughty Dog has more tricks up there paws and brewed up a new and yet, more improved sequel.

The story starts off where Nathan met some old friends telling the missing story of Marco Polo’s lost treasure. Its up to Nathan Drake to solve the mysteries of the so called longs lost valley of Shangri La. The story itself twists and turns throughout the course of the game, as you might expect, and for the most part it's a solid tale. Nate and his pals go through a lot, so it does a good job of reeling you in and keeping you hooked until the end

First of all, Developer Naughty Dog has claimed the new Uncharted has pushed its limits of the PlayStation 3 raw processing power. A pretty bold claim for a first party developer for Sony, but after lushing out its enormous and beautiful vistas, Naughty Dog really hit’s the jack pot. From the crumbling city of India, the cold blistering cold tundra of Tibet, to the ever bushy green jungle. It’s just amazing to look and has more details in every level. Overall its has the most prettiest graphics to date.



In the game play department, overall it has most of the same technique as the previous processor, Then again why fix it when its not broken. Other new a features like more weapons to choose from and more treasure to collect. A Staggering 100 treasures at different locations, and most of them are really hard to find, I manage to find around 34 treasures on my first try. Yup I wasn’t trying hard enough. Trophy whores would have to find ways to get those freaking platinum trophy somehow. One skepticism s was made before that Uncharted has Online multiplayer, where players around the world pit against each other like capturing the flag. In this case you capture a treasure instead. There’s always a reason or two to play it back some more.

The story in Uncharted is always epic. The bigger the better has always made this game so great, leaving you feeling its more like a movie than an actual game. From the history of Marco Polo’s adventure, the love triangle between Nate, Ellena and the new hotter girl Chloe, to over-the-top action sequence. Nate’s wisecrack jokes has always been adamant him as one of the best game character in gaming history.

If you own a PlayStation 3 and haven’t picked up a copy of Uncharted 2 : Amongst Thieves, you definitely don’t know what you are missing. Uncharted 2 has already been nominated to the best game in 2009. Naughty Dog has set its benchmark of excellent games making. This truly is the best sequel ever made. A 5 out of 5.

Worst Dressed Characters.

Throughout the years, clothes represent character, symbolic, functionality, status and customs. Right from the Guardians of Cyrodyll, impeccable Iron cast armor, representing authority, protection and peace. Dante’s infamous red jacket, as a symbol of flair, rock and cockiness. While others are down right stupid. Lets mention some of the less subtlety and zero functionality attire that reminds people not fit to wear in a war/fighting/ or even a shopping mall.

1. Rachel - Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 and 2



2. Ayumi - X-Blades



3. Tyris Flare - Golden Axe series



4. Aya - Onechanbara: Samurai Bikini Zombie Squad



5. Sakura - Street Fighter 4.



6. Ivy - Soul Calibur
