I had watched the much anticipated movie: The Happening. Well, at least I was anticipating it. Hmm… mysteries, scary, strange things happen and people dying. That almost sums up most of the features of a horror film. The trailer is brilliant too, but not for long.

Preview
Everyone is happy during the day in Central Park. People are jogging, chatting and walking to work in the busy city. Soon, everyone just stop their actions. Few screams are heard and nobody cares. A woman sitting on a bench stabs herself with a hair pin and her friend screams in horror. Next, construction workers at a site start to fall off the roof and people in the surrounding area seem to be confused by the act. Well, up to this point, I thought this story is going to be very exciting,

The scene then moves to a classroom where Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) a science teacher, is giving a lecture. Minutes later, he is summoned to an emergency meeting and is told to dismiss his class because there is a report on possible terrorist attack in Central Park. More strange cases happen where people kill themselves on a busy road.

As people start to flee Philadelphia, Elliot, his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel), Julian and his daughter Jess and other passengers are stranded in a small town because the conductors have lost contact with the traffic controllers. Julian leaves his daughter with Elliot and Alma to search for his wife in Princeton but he kills himself upon arriving at the infected Princeton.

God of War, what a nice name for a game. The name sounds so aggressive that I was hoping to get a good fight in it. Well, it did not disappoint me though. I started the game in Normal Mode and finished in less than a week with an average 40 minutes of playing time a day. As stated in many game reviews’ websites, God of War is rather short.

Gameplay
The first video explains about Kratos. As God of War starts, Kratos is soon greeted by a giant boss and will have anyone controlling Kratos, pressing hard on the PSP buttons. When playing God of War in Normal Mode, I will usually charge on the enemies. However, this does not work in God Mode. Every boss has its weaknesses and methods to avoid being hit and that has to be figured out when playing God Mode to keep Kratos alive.

In order to upgrade the weapons and magic, Kratos needs to collect red orbs. Breaking boxes, vases or statues as well as killing the enemies gives Kratos the red orbs. Green orbs restore Kratos’ life bar while blue orbs increase Kratos’ magic bar. All colours of orbs can usually be found in chests. There are also Gordon eyes to extend the life bar and Phoenix feathers to extend the magic bar. 70% into the game, I reckon that you will manage to collect all Gordon eyes, Phoenix feathers as well as upgraded all the weapons and magic.

As the game is 18+, there are some sexy mini games and videos throughout God of War. So, parents, be warned.

I watched The Andromeda Strain last Saturday but I have not written the review yet. Well, it is a three-hour long movie. Instead, I have completed my PSP God of War: Chain of Olympus review and 90% of the TeckNet FM29A FM transmitter review. I just have to tidy up bits and pieces of the functionalities of the FM transmitter. I will have them posted soon.

I managed to integrate the CHDK software which is designed for Canon camera in Mee’s Canon IXUS65. I have not got a clue of what settings that I can change to improve the usability of the camera. However, I am glad that it works on Mee’s camera and I need to study more on the functionalities of CHDK to see if it will enhance the camera before I write any review about CHDK.
