Top 5 Cheat Codes in Gaming History




Using cheat codes might be very smart for cheaters. There are lot of games that has the cheat codes, which allows you to win the game by cheating for the reasons. It gives you a cool choices of having infinity ammo, invincibility modes, unlockable content, level select and etc that the game contains a codes that allows you to cheat instead of doing the game properly without using cheats codes. So here is my "Top 5 Cheat Codes in Gaming History" that became most nostalgic cheat codes of all times.


5 - Revenge of Shinobi - Infinity Shurikens




























Revenge of Shinobi is the classic 2D Hack 'N' Slash for SEGA Genesis. What I like about the game is having the infinity shurikens may be quite an good idea to beat the enemies and boss easier without making the game harder. This will guarantee the casual gamers to have an great experience to beat the game very fast without running out the shurikens. All you have to do is go to options menu and change the shurikens into zero and wait until its turn into the infinity logo. So get your shurikens ready ninjas.


4 -  Doom - Weapons, Keys, Ammo and God mode















Doom is one of my childhood favourite FPS game on PC. So I've typed the codes in during the gameplay and got everything I needed for this game is Weapons, Keys, Ammo and mighty GOD MODE!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah, I can kick all these monster ass for fun with my mighty power, even my Big F-ing Gun 9000.
This is one of my favourite cheats code on this game. You just type IDKFA for Weapons, Keys and Ammo and type IDDQD for God Mode, which you won't get damaged hit by the enemies. So you should try it on this game and beat the game on Ultra Violence.


3 -  Mortal Kombat - Blood Codes





























Mortal Kombat is the bloodiest fighting games in 90's. I'm very disappointed that SNES version have removed the blood to piss off the Midway fans, since they enjoyed it on the Arcade version with no problems at all.
The genesis version has the blood, which you need the codes to use the blood mode for actual gameplay.
It gives you the blood effects and more fatalities moves is what the game should be like on console versions, except SNES. On the grey screen, you have to press ABACABB to activate the blood mode. So thanks to Genesis version for the blood codes, which makes me want to enjoy my gaming experience. This is why Genesis does what Nintendon't.


2 - Sonic 2 - Level Select





  























Oh yeah, Sonic 2 is my favourite Sonic games on SEGA Genesis. I love how the Sonic games has the level select since the first Sonic games. On this game, this will gives you a choice of levels that you wanted to play on without having to start the game all over again. So you just go to options menu and use the correct numbers on sound test by using this codes here 19,65,09,17 and then go back to title screen and hold the A button and press start button to take you on level select, YAYYYY!!! I get to play any levels I want too.
This is why I love the cheat codes on Sonic games.


1 - Contra - 30 lives




















Contra is an awesome Run 'N' Gun by Konami, but the game is damn freaking hard! unless I can beat the game by using Konami Codes, which gives me an 30 lives remaining. So thanks to Konami Codes helps the gamers to beat the game very easy and simple without having less lives to make it more challenging. On title screen, you have to press the correct button on the controller by pressing UP,UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A and then press start to increase lives. So this got to be best cheats codes ever made by Konami.

Tomb Raider PS3 Digital Download Review



Before I review this game, I'm going to talk about the history of the Tomb Raider series.

History of Tomb Raider series

In 1996, Core Design brought the first 3D adventure games called Tomb Raider for PS1, Saturn and PC. It is the 3D platform adventure games with puzzle solving, unique levels, searching treasures, and jumping on ledges that defines the game genres. It considered to be best 3D platform adventures ever made on fifth generation console. The character Lara Croft is the most memorable female characters that caught gamers attention. It sold 7 millions copies worldwide becoming the bestseller. With the success of the original game, it is later making the sequel, such as Tomb Raider 2, 3, The Last Revelation, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness, right just before the second era just started 2006, when Core Design decided to close the studio down and sell the franchise to Crystal Dynamics to take over the series. The second era has Tomb Raider: Legend, which is meant to be an improved sequel over the previous games. It receives positive reviews by calling it greatest games sequel in franchises. It is later making the remake called Tomb Raider: Anniversary as the part of the remade original game with better graphics, precised gameplay and very challenged puzzle solving. Tomb Raider: Underworld released on 2007 did have an positive reviews, but it's not just good as the Legends, but still an decent game for Seventh generation consoles. 5 years later, the third era was made and brought the reboot simply called Tomb Raider is completely different game with new storyplot, new gameplay environment and including online multiplayer. It receives much critical acclaim reviews by critics calling it best Tomb Raider games so far and best rebooted game on the series. So, lets do the review right now and see what I think about this game.    

Tomb Raider PS3 Digital Download Review

Tomb Raider is the action-adventures games for PS3, X360 and PC. It is also available on PS4 and XONE as definitive edition. It is developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. This game takes place in Yamatai, Japan. The story is about Lara Croft manage to escape from shipwrecked and ends up in island. Her mission is to save her friends and tries to escape from groups of savage mens. 
I say the story is quite different from the previous games is about being more puzzle solving and more adventurous plot, but this game is about being mixed between action and survival games where the characters have to defend themselves from nasty groups of mens trying to threat and kidnapping innocent people in the island to make it more being survival instincts and some darker tones, which makes the story more interesting to watch cutscenes. The characters in the games are great. Lara Croft is still memorable characters, while rest others like Sam, Roth and others are the great supporting characters in the game.
I say the story and characters has amazing dialogue and plot to keep the game outstandingly entertained. 
This game has single player, online multiplayer and unlockable content on the main menu. 
The gameplay is pretty simple. It's very similar to Uncharted, but it has more exploration and survival mechanics. The controls for movement are pretty straightforward for climbing on the obstacles and jumping on the objects are done pretty well for character's movements. The combat gameplay plays really well with stealth combat where you can sneak behind on the enemies and using bow and arrow to silently kill enemies without making others to react. The weapons are quite good with pistols, machine guns, shotgun and bow and arrow are pretty worked very well, but you could also use axe as the melee attack is quite handy for the combat gameplay. You can upgrade your weapons and skills through camping to improve your character's abilities and weapons performance. It is also you can use fast travel to move different areas in the game are sounds pretty good idea for the gameplay. I say I never liked the QTE on this game where you have to press the correct button that appears on the screen are quite too fast, if you have to quickly press the right button to avoid the enemy's attacks. If you pressed the wrong button, then you're dead. 
The good thing about this is you can explore the whole level to mess around for fun and finding the treasures and items to collect stuff. I say the gameplay plays very good for character's movements, combat and great levels environment for some puzzle solving and exploring. I say the multiplayer is still fun to play, but it has some several glitches, but the multiplayer is still decent for the free for all, team deathmatch and cry for help. 
The graphics are look pretty amazing with fantastic character's models, great animations, superb special effects and incredible environment for backgrounds and smooth textures are by far the best looking graphics on multiplatform consoles.
The music and sounds has the best music score on this game that fits the mood of the game atmospheres. The sound effects has very rich background noise, atmospheric effects and awesome quality of the sound are by far the most perfect sounds ever made in this game.
The special features has unlockable stuff like artwork, trailers and behind the game video. It has DLC pack for multiplayer.  

         
Advantages

Amazing gameplay

Fantastic graphics

Perfect music and sounds

Great single player campaign

Amazing story and characters

Decent online multiplayer

Impossible QTE

Some several glitches for multiplayer


Final Verdict

Here is my overall review.

Music and Sounds 10/10 - Fantastic music score, very rich background noise, atmospheric effects and awesome quality of the sound.

Overall 9.7/10 - Tomb Raider is by far the best game on the series. Crystal Dynamics took the step forward to make the game more realistic and most epic action-adventure games in history. To all the fan of Tomb Raider series, you should go pick this game up for PS3, X360 and PC. Those who owned the PS4 and XONE are new to this game, you should go pick definitive edition.

The Raid Blu Ray Review


Like I've reviewed most of the video games, but today, I decided to do a movie reviews as well and it is my first time reviewing the films for Blu Ray or DVD. 

The Raid (A.K.A The Raid: Redemption in US) is the indonesian action film released in 2011, which directed by Welsh directors Gareth Evans, who is best known for directing his first action film Merantau released in 2009.
This movie receives more positive reviews calling it one of the best action movies in indonesia that gains the people's attention. It's the fast paced martial arts with tons of ultra violence and some serious gun shooting what makes this movie an hardcore awesomeness. 
The movie takes place in Jakarta. The story is about officer Rama (played by Iko Uwais) and his teams are arriving at the building and has the mission to assassinate the drug boss Tama Riyadi (played by Ray Sahetapy), who owns the block and orders his reinforcements to fight the S.W.A.T teams under his protection. I say the story seems to be outstanding with fantastic storyplot, darker atmosphere and more of being survival and action. The characters in the movies are just awesome as hell. Rama just kicks everyone asses what's makes Iko Uwais a great martial art actors. I also like the whole villains in the movie are just how insane these people are with screaming and chanting during the fight scenes. I also like Yayan Ruhian did a amazing job playing as Mad Dog is one of the most badass villain in the movie. 
The atmosphere in the whole movie is just mind blowing awesomeness. I like how the special effects did really good job on gun shooting and fridge scenes is just look realistic and keeps the movie entertained.
I love the blood splatting effects on fight scenes where you see the people getting showered by bullets and stabbed by the axe or knife are so amazing to watch. The fight scenes is just kick ass. It's has the fast paced pencak silat style and aggressive fighting performance keep the movie so intense and fun.
I also like the music in the movie. It's mixed between electronic and ambient are much focused on cutscenes moods. It has brilliant soundtrack made by Joseph Trapanese, especially Mike Shinoda (Composer of Linkin Park) did a wonderful job on the music track that fits very well on the movie. The sound effects are great for backgrounds noise, gun shooting effects and the quality of sounds are superb for surround sound systems or home cinema sounds.
The special features has uncut version, trailers, audio commentary, video blogs, fan films made, featurettes, behind the music and an evening video. 


Advantages

Overall 10/10 - The Raid is one of the most masterpiece action movie of decide and by far the best indonesian movies ever made by Gareth Evans. I highly recommend to all action and martial arts movie fans to watch this and it's going to blow your mind with amazing action scenes and most intense story.
