Temple Run: Oz App Review

Temple Run: Oz App Review

Ever since Imangi Studios launched the endless running game Temple Run for Android, it made sure that we never stopped running. The game has seen 4 versions since the original release in August 2011, with the sequel, Temple Run 2 launching earlier this year in January. The game has not just been appreciated, but went on to break the record of Angry Birds Space clocking in 50 million downloads in just 13 days.Find more news on 9Game.

Of these 4 versions, two are spin-offs released in association  with Disney. While one was Temple Run: Brave, based on the animated Disney/Pixar movie Brave, the more recently launched Temple Run: Oz is inspired form the upcoming Disney movie Oz: The Great and Powerful. We started running in the new environments to find out if it continues to keep us just as addicted as the original game.

Temple Run: Oz stays true to the game's tradition of non-stop running as well as turning, jumping and sliding to avoid hurdles and collecting coins. But since this version is based on Disney's movie, it incorporates a lot of elements such as new environments, objects and characters. You run as The Great and Powerful Oz down the mesmerising Yellow Brick Road in the Whimsical Woods and The Dark Forest. 

Now instead of the three demon monkeys or one big giant weird-faced monkey, you're being chased by three flying baboons at the start of the game and every once in a while when you stumble while running. 

The game is definitely more challenging than the original one but similar to Temple Run: Brave and the recently launched Temple Run 2 in some ways. It seems to have gotten faster as well, demanding greater focus and better reflexes. The obstacles in the game are quite tricky and catch you by surprise. They appear only when you approach them really close, unlike the earlier games where you could see them well in advance.

Plants in the game often leap from locations on the side of the path, attempting to grab you as they fall. Trees also often fall, seemingly out of nowhere, into the path to block your way. But the obstacles are just one part. The path itself will sometimes crumble while you're on high bridges or cliffs, forcing you to make a split-second decision to move to the side of the bridge that remains intact.

The musical backdrop of the beating drums has been replaced by the movie's background score that adds a lot of intensity and keeps the adrenaline rush going. As always, the graphics are really smooth and you'll be in awe of the surroundings and the attention to detail.

Temple Run: Oz also has certain common elements as seen in the Brave version of the game. You could collect bows in the game to unlock different bonuses like extra score points and score multipliers at the end of each running session. Here the bow has been replaced by a musical key to unlock the music box for similar bonuses. Further, you can choose to open all the boxes in case you're feeling too greedy, by paying additional coins.

A new element in the game as is the essence of the original Wizard of Oz movie is time travel with the tornado in a manner of speaking. While running you come across sign posts guiding you which direction to take and soon enough you'll see yourself transitioning between worlds with the yellow brick road collapsing before you and taking you to a different location.

The Whimsical Woods are set in bright environs but dangerous all the while with cliffs and forests. The Dark Forest is set in a graveyard amidst ruins of stones and gives a sense of evil lurking around. After each running session, if you happen complete that particular level's challenges, you level up and are awarded with gems or coins.

Another pretty neat movie-inspired element is the hot-air ballon which appears at several points in the game for an additional opportunity to collect coins as you sail through the clouds and make your way across the crystals reminiscent of Emerald City. 

The balloons appear on the screen, and head quickly in one direction at a crossroads. Follow the balloon and hop on to take a balloon trip through the clouds. In case you don't feel like it, you can always choose to head out in the other direction.

The game also offers additional power ups every now and then which include a magnet, a flying monkey and a soap bubble amongst others. Gems can also be used to "supercharge" power-ups. For instance, the 2X coin power-up becomes a 3X coin boost at the cost of 1 gem.

You can opt for Weekly or Legendary Challenges from the Menu section that also award coins, gems and multiplier bonuses. These include challenges like Marathon Man (run a certain distance), Big Time (Get 125,000 points in 1 run), Steady Bankroll (Collect 25,000 coins) and many others.

Overall, the game offers a fresh perspective in terms of being movie-inspired. Apart from that the basic mechanics of jumping, sliding and tilting remains the same. Currently, the app is only listed on the App Store and like other Temple Run games, we'd hope to see it launch for Android as well. (Update: The game has now been released for Android as well priced at Rs. 53.18 in the Google Play Store).  

Even though the app isn't free, Rs. 55 ($0.99) seems pretty decent to try out something new. Those who still wouldn't mind skipping this version, can check out Temple Run 2 that's also new release and is available for free.

How to Play Shahi India Poker

How to Play Shahi India Poker

One of the silliest poker games, Shahi India Poker- also known as Blind Man's Bluff - is a popular variation of classic poker that many people have seen in movies. It’s also typically played during parties, where beer is often considered a requirement for ultimate gameplay (but you didn’t hear that here!) There’s virtually no limit to the number of players, but usually 6-10 work best. Ace is high card.

So here’s how it’s played: each player puts in an ante (usually one dollar) to play. Using one deck of cards, the dealer deals a card, face down, to each player around the table. The players then place the cards on their foreheads with one hand, so all players except themselves can see what they’re playing with. The card stays held there until the end of the round. If a player looks at their own card, they’re out of the round, and lose their ante.

Next, one-by-one, starting with the dealer, each player puts in their bets or folds. Decisions are based on what a player believes their unseen card is compared to others’ seen cards. Once all bets are in, everyone sees their hand. High card takes the pot.

To continue the game, the next person to the left deals out from the remaining cards—setting aside the cards played in previous rounds. This continues round-after-round until the entire deck is gone.

Many people love this game because it takes a lot of reading faces (literally!) and can be quite a riot. Plus, it can drive you crazy trying to bet when there’s no limit and you don’t know what you have. The question is, can you keep a straight face when your betting friend with the two of hearts keeps raising?

The Story Behind Teen Patti - Indian Poker

The Story Behind Teen Patti - Indian Poker

9Game: Today I am going to tell you the story behind Teen Patti. You may know how to play this Indian Poker game but do you know that Teen Patti is a story of love, hate and betrayal?  Do you know how the lives of three friends, Arya, Mohor and Mukul, get altered by these forces? Read this article and find out!

It rarely happens you come across a movie that is a culmination of all the archetypal filmi ingredients - Jai-Veeru type friendship, love triangle, a murder and several suspects, a tough-as-nails police inspector, one femme fatale, a girl singing in bars to support her sick mother and drunken father and, keeping pace with the latest fad, a psychological thriller-type ending. Teen Patti, a debut film of director-duo Rehena Parvin Jenny and Dipayan Mandal, provides all the above-mentioned masalas, but, unfortunately, forgets to provide the string to attach all these ingredients in a coherent story.

The film starts with the murder investigation of a businessman called Rupak Chakraborty. Young Crime Branch officer Siddhartha Roy ( Koushik Roy), in charge of the case, finds a diary in Rupak's house that tells a story of three friends - Arya (Indraneil), Mohor (Puja) and Mukul (Ritwick). In an ek-phool-do-mali-type situation, childhood friends Arya and Mukul fall for the same girl. The directors then very carefully construct a prolonged scene where Mukul teaches Arya how to propose Mohor and how they take part in a bike race to decide who'll get the girl. And by the time Arya bares his heart to Mohor and they get married, you are bored to tears. Then the plot meanders through varied and bizarre twists and turns and the end result can be compared to a dish of mixed vegetables without salt. Weak script and dialogues, some unnecessary characters and some disjointed editing make it more tedious.

Though the movie tells the story of love, hate, betrayal and the how the three friends' lives alter, the directors have failed to build the characters substantially. So you fail to empathize when Arya goes through heartbreak or Mukul loses the balance between right or wrong. As no one relates to them, Indraneil's acting doesn't leave any mark and Ritwick looks like he is trying too hard. Among the others, Puja is in her elements only when she is wearing a shiffon and lip-syncing to the songs and as Ushasie's character (business tycoon Gargi Sen) doesn't get any proper closure, it's instantly forgettable.

Frontline Commando 2: How to win?

Frontline Commando 2: How to win?

9Game: This article will teach you how to win in Frontline Commando 2.

War: depending on which video game you draw your real life principles from, it either has changed or never changes. Scholars often question what it is good for, with some concluding that the answer to that is absolutely nothing, good god y'all. Whatever one thinks, it's clear that a great many people enjoy playing games based around war. 

Recently, the flavor of war that has been most popular is the modern variation, something which I am sure is in no way connected to what Activision's Call of Duty series has been doing. Frontline Commando 2 takes the familiar series gameplay and brings it into the Black Ops era, with the results being more or less as expected. Some people love it, others hate it, but everyone likes to save a few bucks, so here are ten tips and hints for playing Frontline Commando 2 without needing the financial backing of a PMC.

Spend your gold on items. Gold is a premium currency, but you'll earn it here and there for finishing certain missions, leveling up, and so forth. Realistically, you'll almost never earn enough to buy one of the premium weapons, so you're better off spending it on items that can help you get past tough battles. You can also earn some extra gold by watching ads, but unless you're incredibly persistent and stick with it regularly, it's really only good for topping off your next item purchase.

Always keep a sniper rifle with you. You can carry two weapons into battle, and one of them should always be a sniper rifle, even if you have something more powerful. There are always going to be distant enemies, and if you're not packing a sniper rifle, you'll have to depend on your squad to take them out. Your squad is helpful, but believe me, you never want to be relying on them.

Shotguns complement sniper rifles well. So, with the sniper rifle in tow, you can choose your other weapon from an assault rifle, a machine gun, or a shotgun. Naturally, if there's a big power disparity, you should go for your strongest gun, but if they're more or less the same, you'll probably want to bring the shotgun with you. Its extreme power at close range, amazing effectiveness at headshots, and vehicle/cover destroying properties all add up to make it a very useful tool for things that can't be sniped.

Until you've got something really good, don't bother upgrading your weapons all the way. While cash isn't a huge problem in this game, upgrading a weapon fully is quite expensive, and not really worth it if you're going to be upgrading to something better soon. Unless you're waiting to reach a higher level to unlock new weapons, you really should be saving up to earn better guns rather than throwing too much cash into something you're going to discard. Upgrade them about halfway, or as needed.

Upgrading your squad is money well-spent. The squad is the main new element inFrontline Commando 2, and you'd be wise to keep your buddies in mind. Often, using your money to level your team up can prove more useful than maxing out your weapon. Again, though, you'll want to be careful about getting too invested in any of your one-star members, since you might end up replacing them. It's good to keep one of each type in your leveling loop so that you're never left without the squad you want at the level you need.

Pick your team according to your needs. There are four types of teammates, but you can only bring three. Someone has to be left on the bench. You should almost always have your medic with you for obvious reasons. Besides the medic, the other roles have situational uses. If you've got sniper troubles or aerial vehicles causing you problems, you'll want to bring someone who can use RPGs. If you're going to be facing up against land vehicles, grenades are extremely useful. Finally, if you're dealing with overwhelming numbers, the drone can provide an excellent distraction while you whittle down the pack. In PVP matches, a grenade-user is a must. Grenades can solve all kinds of problems, and if you're playing against another player's team, you don't have to worry about aerial vehicles.

Don't be afraid to use your items if you think it'll help you secure the win.Basically, getting access to guns requires you to level up. PVP doesn't give you much experience points, and repeating campaign missions isn't a whole lot better. Getting a higher level and gaining access to better gear is best achieved by progressing in the single player campaign. You can't do that if you get blocked at a boss fight or a particularly tough mission. So if you have to toss a couple grenades or use a health kit to get past and reach the potentially less-taxing stages that follow, go for it. They're not so rare that you need to hoard them.

Make sure you login each day to get your daily bonus, at least for the first 20 days. Yes, this is tool-tip level stuff, but it's important. Sometimes the daily bonus will give you something of limited use, like a PVP power-up, but you can also get items and cash, and if you manage to log in for 20 consecutive days, you'll get an awesome shotgun. The consecutive login rewards fall off pretty badly after that, but if you can spare a minute each day when you're not actively playing, it'll make things easier for you when you do.

Go for the team captain in PVP matches. They're almost always carrying the most dangerous weapon, so take them out first. You can see each character's name underneath them, so you just have to go after the one with the same name as the player you challenged. After that, you'll probably want to take care of the medic if they're using one, followed by snipers, then cleaning up whatever's left. Be especially careful if the team captain is using a sniper or shotgun, since either one can wreck you quickly.

Take advantage of both PVP and campaign modes. PVP requires stamina, so whenever you sit down to play the game a little, you should start by having a PVP match, just to get the timer going on recovering a stamina point. PVP matches are a good source of extra money and, occasionally, items, though as mentioned before, they don't give much in the way of experience points. Ranking up in PVP can get you access to some cool squad members and items that will prove useful. Campaign mode has no stamina bar, but there are some hard challenge-walls. Play as far as you can, then go back and try to get three skulls on earlier challenges to squeeze out every reward. Finish up your session by using your remaining PVP stamina. You'll progress more quickly all around by bouncing between the two modes.

Until war changes yet again, the tips in this guide should help you play Frontline Commando 2 as effectively as possible without actually tossing any money at it. Besides, what fun is it to just use your pocketbook to buy your way to victory? It's much sweeter if you actually earn it, even if it does take a while.
