The Allure of Casinos a new trend of gambling games! Check this out

|

Memorial Day is coming up and when I was trying to figure out where to go with my friends, the minute I thought about Atlantic City (AC), I knew I had chosen ‘a sure thing’ for everybody. I love casinos, and it’s got nothing to do with the gambling because I don’t gamble that much. Maybe it’s the non-stop hedonism of casinos, the idea of staying up all night just for pleasure and entertainment. For occasional gamblers like me, going to a casino doesn’t cost that much because drinks are usually on the house, and food is cheap. The first time I went to Las Vegas, it was love at first sight and maybe it’s because it’s ‘Sin City’. What’s not to love; they had shopping, clubs and restaurants; all the things I enjoy. Even on a student budget we managed to have a great time. I remember the flight from LA was $50 round-trip and the Days Inn Motel, www.daysinn.com, was $50 per night which worked out to $25 each for the two of us. My friend from London even won a $100 mini ‘jackpot’ which was a windfall given that the buffet was $10 a head and she ended up treating me to dinners.

When you go to Vegas, you quickly find out that the normal rules of decorum do not apply. What goes on in Vegas truly stays in Vegas. People quickly find out that there’s no point in investing a lot of money on accommodation when you’re up all night anyway and when my ex-room-mate went, they had 6 people sharing a room includuing her brother. On another occasion when I was on a modest budget, we stayed at the ‘Circus Circus’, www.circuscircus.com, which has a circus theme as the name implies so that meant the whole hotel was over-run with little kids so I ended up giving up my room because all I did was party all night anyway. On another trip, my friends and I were paying a lot for staying in the Hilton, www.hilton.com, we never really got to bed so we gave up our rooms and the 4 of us moved into one room in a cheap motel off the Strip. The cheap motels off the strip are always interesting because they have skanky casinos full off deadbeat characters who have been banned from the major casinos on the Strip. You spend all your time at the major casinos anyway so it doesn’t matter where you keep your baggage.

Obviously my favorite casinos are the ones with retail shopping and they include The Venetian (www.venetian.com) Caesars Palace (www.harrahs.com) and The Bellagio Hotel, (www.bellagio.com). I can keep myself busy for hours with just the shopping alone so if it ain’t gambling that one is hooked on, it’s something else. Fortunately flight to Vegas from almost anywhere in the US are cheap and I have been know to leave work in New York City on a Friday to go to Vegas and return straight to work on Monday from the ‘red-eye’ flight back from Vegas after my annual pilgrimage.

Closer to home, I could not believe they opened a new casino at The Raceway in Yonkers, close to the ‘hood. Now you do not have to go as far as Foxwoods, www.foxwoods.com, or Mohegan Sun, www.mohegansun.com, the two casinos previously nearest to New York City, for your casino action. The only problem is that there are just slot machines and no tables but they have live bands doing covers and so it is a nice little outing. Once is a while I like to get a rental car and drive out to Mohegan Sun but for real holiday action, if you can’t get to Vegas then Atlantic City will just have to do. There is even some up and coming retail action there. The Tropicana has a shopping arcade now and I can’t wait to check out the renovations at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino, www.trumptaj.com. Since I am a regular at the New York 40/40 Club, www.the4040club.com, I had to check out how the one in AC is.

And no trip to AC is complete without a stop at The Borgata, www.theborgata.com, although I think JLo’s mama emptied out the winnings ever since she won the $2 million jackpot at the beginning which latterly given by the 토토사이트 to those that has a good gameplay on the online games of the websites. I love their 5 cent ‘Megabucks’ machines which promise you millions just for a few nickels (although m machines take actually take coins these days). The best New Year’s Eve I had ever had was at AC where we started out with a concert, everyone gave us free drinks and we partied all night. I don’t even bother getting a hotel in AC, it’s too expensive usually for non-regulars like us who don’t get comps and it’s close enough to drive back to NYC. Heck, I have even taken the granny buses from Port Authority (http://www.panynj.gov/CommutingTravel/bus/html/pa.html) a couple of times, and companies like academy (www.academybus.com) and greyhound (www.grehound.com) even throw in at least $15 in gambling coupons and meal vouchers at the casinos for the price of a $24 round-trip ticket. Another attraction of AC is the boardwalk and the beach which are great in summer like the Fourth of July weekend when everyone is ‘at the shore’.

Killzone 2 – Review

|

I’ll be honest when I first popped Killzone 2 into my PS3 I was actually surprised, not at the amazing graphics, but Visari’s rousing speech as the game loads up. I used to play a lot of games on QQ before I got hooked on to the PS3 and started enjoying it quite a lot.  For a second I thought maybe, just maybe, this wasn’t going to be a no brains shooter, but just as that thought popped into my head a muscle-headed army dude punches the wall and grunts something incomprehensible – scratch that idea.

If you’ve managed to avoid the hyped juggernaut that is Sony’s Killzone then I’ll sum up what’s been going on; in the first game the Helghast (read: bad guys) attacked a planet controlled by the ISA (read: good guys) in this game the ISA has decided it’s payback time so now you’re invading planet Helghan: home of the bad guys. That’s the biggest thing that annoyed me throughout the whole 5-7 hours it took me to finish the game, the absolutely hollow plot premise, you’re just told that the Helghan are evil and that’s about it, almost no attempt is given to humanise either faction. Arguably the Helghan end up being more likeable than the bloody ISA, the amount of times I cringed as either Rico or Natko – two of the men on your squad – spouted out a string of swear words to try and sound adult was ridiculous.

Luckily, Guerrilla seem much better at designing good gameplay than they do writing because, credit to them, this is one of the only games I’ve actually felt I was in an actual warzone – at least until the phone rang. It’s in the little details such as the ships flying overhead and anti-aircraft cannons firing in the background that make you believe that you’re contributing to a war effort rather than just being funnelled down a linear path. Once, the games pace gets going things just keep getting better and better, first there’s the battle through the streets towards Visari Square, then there’s the shoot-out aboard a moving mine-car and to top it all off there’s the incredibly tense, inch-by-inch bloodbath towards Visari’s palace in the final mission – it’s moments like these that push you through towards the end rather than the limp plot.

The shooting is solid and responsive and gunning down Helghast never gets boring, the cover system is intuitive and really sets apart Killzone from other FPSs, making shootouts more about tactics than quick reflexes. The AI is certainly commendable; again it’s in the subtleties such as how they scramble to cover when shot at and how they’ll start blind firing if you constantly shoot where they’re taking cover but sometimes it does start to feel all too easy to just rush at them with the combat knife before they can react, up close all they’ll do is fumble around and maybe try and clobber you with their gun.

I couldn’t go through this review without paying special attention to the graphics, everything about them is spot on, from the way the lighting works to the soldier animations and the way you reload your gun – everything works down to the tiniest details. What did annoy me though is the sheer amount of shooter grey there is, sure you have the greatest graphics engine to play with but when everything is literally various shades of greys and browns things can get monotonous. I think in all honesty that explains a lot about Killzone 2; it’s almost less of a game and more of a tech demo, showing some of the feats that the PS3 can pull off, it certainly doesn’t feel like the complete package that other first party games have been such as Uncharted and Ratchet  amp; Clank. Guerrilla

Multiplayer does go a heck of a long way to solving that though, and this is where Killzone 2 shines; remove all the silly NPCs and clichéd characters and stick in a bunch of trigger-happy gamers and you’ve got a seriously addicting game. The multiplayer obviously draws lots of parallels to Call of Duty for obvious reasons but it also draws heavily from Team Fortress as well with various classes to choose from making it more tactical, if less accessible, than CoD and its ilk.

It might be a year on since Killzone 2 was released but it still is one of the best shooters to date. Guerrilla have their engine sorted now so they can focus on improving the plot and characters for Killzone 3 so we’re not left with Cro-Magnon idiots like Rico.

So if you’re looking for a multiplayer FPS to get your teeth sunk into Killzone is still a definite alternative to CoD but if you’re after something with deeper meaning and an interesting story stick with Half-Life and Bioshock.
