What bunfire thinks?

Although it's been over three years since the last SoulCalibur game, this version seem very similar in comparison. SoulCalibur 5 may boast a new range of fighters but they are mostly descendants or students of the already famous combatants we knew for years. The 3D weapons based fighting retains the same fighting system as it always has with off the wall flashy moves and the new and improved Critical Edge system which give newbies the ability to jump in and perform impressive attacks.

The game revolves around a rock-paper-scissors type fighting style where your mistakes can cost you your life. The game is a bit of the same as the other SoulCalibur games in the past except with the new playable characters, this makes it repetitive for people who have been playing the game for a long time. The game boast impressive graphics and great music, although the characters voice overs could use some work. 

There is a story mode which is based on Patroklos one of the new additions to the series. Patroklos is trying to rescue his sister Pyrrha of her 'malfestation'. The malfestation is a curse that befalls anyone who makes contact with the Soul Edge sword. Patroklos is also trying to wield the Soul Calibur in the name of [Love] (Ewww). The story mode however is very uninteresting and doesn't keep my attention, I don't even feel like I should finish it. I would rather play multiplayer and face my friends than to get myself involved in this story.

The addition of Ezio from Assassins Creed is another addition as the Star wars characters were to SoulCalibur 4. Ezio will is a nice addition to the game that will help to keep things a bit fresh in the game. 

With that addition of new characters and some new moves SoulCalibur 5 is definitely a fighting game worth playing. The game graphics and sounds are great but the story and the game modes are a bit lacking and disappointing to say the least. I don't mind the game modes however because it's a fighting game and I let the crappy storyline slide because I bought the game to fight my friend and others online and don't really care for the story. If you are someone who prefer to play the story mode/ Arcade mode/ survival mode then you might and probably will be disappointed in these aspects of the game.

All in all I love the fighting of the SoulCalibur universe, I love the way the combos link up and I love to play the game and challenge others. If you are the same as me most of the other features won't bother you so much and you probably want to see the old faces you are used to anyways. The game is pretty solid and the fighting lives up to the SoulCalibur theme as it's always has. I would recommend this game to all fighting game fans to give it a try and come join the SoulCalibur universe.

Beats by Dre.

Beats by Dre headphones now available at GameStop.com

I want to give my review of Dr, Dre's beats headphone. I personally love these headphones as they provide me with everything that I look for in any headphone plus a little more. Beats by Dr Dre is a beautifully crafted headphone which will have necks breaking when you are out for a stroll. I would expect this and more from these headphones for the price ranging in the $300+.

Beats by dr, Dre has a steep price but if you are willing to shell out your hard earned money it should be for something that you like and I like these. The bass for these headphones is wonderful as I love bass and there is no lack here. The cushin on the ear pads keep in and deliver quality sounds and stops your annoying sister/brother from talking your ears off with it's noise canceling ability.

The sleek design is excellent if you want to show off as you go for your daily commute and as you take your breaks. Beats also come in many different colors so you are able to get the color that suits you, if you are willing to shell out the money for one of these beats by dr, Dre might as well get what you pay for. The price is the biggest draw back of these headphones, if price is not a problem and you like to look nice and flashy then these might be for you.

Platform-PS3, XBOX-360

Genre- First person shooter

Company-Infinity Ward


What bunfire Thinks?

Call of duty Modern Warfare 3 is the definition of what a shooter game should be. MW3 is the continuation of the already famous Call of duty series. The story continues where MW2 left off with Captain price and Soap chasing Makarov. In this new installation you are introduce to new allies, new weapons, new dangers and a brand spanking new story.

The story mode although full of action and great will not keep your attention for too long, however the multi player modes both online and offline will. The online experience is wonderful as you try to survive as you kill your enemies. In the online portion of multi player you you will be able to battle up to 18 players at the same time. There will be a lot of explosions and death happening all around you as everyone kills everyone.

There are many weapons to choose from so you aren't stuck with something that you don't like. Perks help you to live longer and fight back and strike packages get you the well needed support and and assault to put the hurt on your foes. The online experience is great and should be enjoyed by every fan of the series.

The offline multi player modes are fun as well. Gather you friends at your house, kick back and enjoy the game with your friends if you can't go online. If you don't have friends there is also the spec ops mode where you can take on defender and survival type missions. 

The game has a leveling system which help to increase weapons and get all  sorts of achievements and attachments. This is one fun game especially when playing with others, this game is definitely a must have for first person shooter fans.

        Ipad Review

After using the Ipad for a while and enjoying every moment with it to boot, I believe it's time I give this wonderful device it's due respects. I want to give my review of the Ipad to help others decide if it's for them or not.

   From the first time I saw the Ipad I fell in love with it. Everything about the ipad made me want it, the sleekness, the ability to play games, watch movies, surf the web and play music drew me towards the device.

The Ipad's 9.7 inch screen size makes watching movies, playing games and surfing the web a pleasure. The 1.5 lbs makes it easy to carry around and use, and the 3g internet connection makes sure you are always connected to the internet even where there is no wifi. 

 The Ipad is definately a Awesome piece of work from Apple and every household should have one. If you are always on the internet or need to check mail, listen to music, or are just bored the ipad is for you as it will take away the boredom quickly.

For the specs of the Ipad go here.
