Games

It’s that time again, folks. This Friday marks the return of one of the biggest sporting titles on consoles as FIFA 13 hits entertainment retailers to what will be a staggering abundance of sales. As is expected of the latest installment in the ongoing canon, FIFA 13 brings into play a whole range of new features in gameplay, whether it be an improved first touch system, advanced forward runs from attackers, or whole new game modes.

With the annual Electronic Arts games, progression is key in maintaining the interest and ultimately the purchasing power of gamers. After all, if the FIFA games remained constant in their gameplay mechanics and offerings feature-wise, gamers would eventually tire and move their focus to other offerings.

Whilst new features continue to prove that FIFA is the crème-de-la-crème of soccer offerings, looking back through the history of the games has brought my attention to some sorely missed features that I would love to see a return for.

Diving –

Week in, week out we see Premiership players attempt to gain an advantage in the ‘art’ of diving so why not bring it back into FIFA? Admittedly, nine times out of ten it didn’t quite work with the referee, but on that odd occasion, you could pull it off and gain either a free kick or that all-important penalty to clinch that win. EA is always raving about realism, here’s something that would ramp it up even further.

Indoor five-a-side mode –

Previously players were given the opportunity to play in indoor five-a-side (or more) matches in a varied mode from your run-of-the-mill stadium match. It was a fun way of playing against friends and even tested out your abilities in a faster-paced situation, perfect practice for those wannabe pros.

Violent conduct –

Whilst violence in football should never be condoned, FIFA previously added in just that, the opportunity to have a little ‘dig’ at your opponent at the risk of being punished. Once again throwing in a realistic edge (after all, players do get irate at times) this could be something worth considering for a return.

Quick subs –

Using the D-pad to quickly tinker with your team for a quick substitute was a clever little feature in the past but EA decided that it was not worthy of being continued. Admittedly it could prove difficult to do whilst fending off your opponent but would prove a neat return considering the time it can take sometimes when making substitutes.

Manual forwards run –

A new addition to the gameplay this year is the feature in which your attackers make much-improved runs for that all-important through ball that can pick apart the opposition defense. The problem; is all automatic. The solution; bring back manual forward runs that saw you pass to another team-mate for you to run into space for a return pass, simple really.

I’m sure there are plenty of other additions many gamers would love to see make a timely return to FIFA 13 but for now, we have to make do with what still is going to be a revolutionary footballing title. Just don’t forget, it’s out on Sept. 28! Will until then you have Poker IOS PKV that offers you engaging and fun games that you can try until the launch of a new FIFA game. 

There are lots of fun to be had while playing video games, and for some people, they have even turned gaming into a livelihood either by streaming or by playing professionally in a competitive scene. However, despite all the good things that one can obtain from playing video games, that does not mean that you will let your child do what they want while playing video games. In this article, we will discuss the things that you can do in order to make sure that your kid is safe while playing. Without further ado, let’s start:

1. Limit their game time

As a parent, it is important to impose limits on your children’s gaming time. You should set a weekly time limit to their game time so that your kids will not spend all of their free time playing games. Online video games are specifically more addicting since they have the competitive factor, which makes people more inclined to play more to practice, train and be a better player.

2. Check the age rating of the games you purchase for your kids

Every single game has a rating from ESRB that you can check prior to making a purchase. The ratings will allow you to see whether or not a game has content that is sensitive for children, allowing to make an informed decision when purchasing.

3. Do not allow them on gambling or betting websites

When playing online games, it is inevitable that your child will come across betting and gambling websites. This is particularly true for games with a competitive scene, or for games with a tradeable inventory system that contains expensive virtual items. Gambling and betting websites like sbobet can be addicting, and you as a parent should protect your child from such content.

The Dervish is a very unique class of its own. It has its own style of fighting and defence. But can you control the unique skills of a Dervish? In games that are loaded on DominoQQ, you will find some very basic games that do not involve such gameplay but are quite interesting. 

A Dervish’s skills are mainly based on Enchantments. If you have no enchantments in your skill bar and you’re a Dervish, you may as well play a Mesmer with no hexes. Enchantments are the Dervish’s survival and boosting skills.

To play as a Dervish, it is best to choose one of its attribute skills.

You can play as an Earth Dervish, whose main points of fighting are: Defence, Regeneration, Blindness and brute Strength. Blindness is mainly used because the opponent inflicted with this condition has only 10% chance to hit the target. It is very rare for someone to hit something while the blindness condition is inflicted on them.

Wind Dervish, they are less favoured because they are not tough at fighting at all, the Wind Dervish’s main uses are for: Speeding enhancement, Energy Saving and Crippling. These are fairly useless in Player vs. Player or even Player vs. Environment themselves. A Wind Dervish is usually associated with the Assassin class and used for Running.

Mysticism Dervish, this is fairly common for most Dervish’s to use because of the elite form they are able to use. They can choose from taking the form of: Balthazar, Dwayna, Grenth, Lyssa and Melandru. All of which have their own unique abilities. Balthazar gains speed, armour and deals holy damage, which is very highly prized in Player vs. Player. Dwayna allowed you to gain health and lose a hex whenever you use a skill; this is very helpful when you are against an opponent that will inflict a hex on you every now and then. Grenth will allow the player to be un-blockable against foes that have an enchantment on them. This is really helpful against Dervish’s that might have inflicted blindness on you. Then your last form, Melandru, you gain 100 maximum health and you are immune to conditions, this means, Blindness, Cripple, Bleeding and all other conditions are totally useless on you.

When using a Dervish, the preferred weapon is the Scythe. If you have seen the Grim Reaper and the weapon he bears, you have seen the prime weapon of a Dervish. The scythe has the highest maximum damage in the game, but the down side is that, the minimum is very low. You may look like you’re whacking the day lights out of the opponent, but you have an equal chance of hitting a 20 or less. This MUST be avoided at all costs in Player vs. Player. To evade the low damage, max the Scythe Mastery attribute. This way, you are guaranteed you will hit about a 70 – 80 on average, but this may as well depend on your opponent.

Once you have selected your other attribute you with to master, you have to know how to use it. A simple and effective Dervish might want to add some self healing skills, one or two attack skills, Condition appliers and removers and enchantments. This way, you are balanced out on what you want to do.
