Hit the target to clinch the gold Gold medal


Gunning for Gold,.a game by Games2win, saluting the salvo of India's first ever individual Gold medal winner Abhinav Bindra at the Beijing Olympics. A legitimate tribute to the incredible performance which made the entire nation proud. 'Hit the target to clinch the gold Gold medal', elaborates the better picture and the theme of the game.

Games2win have tried their best to recreate the aura of 10 m Air Rifle Event final at the Beijing Olympics, with all the tension and obvious pressure Abhinav had to face on his way to clinch the medal. The game is visaged in the shooting arena with the rivals trying taking their attempts along with the gamer. Though it hardly affects the gamer's attention while shooting, but the rivalry is maintained. With the rivals named as Qinan Zhu and Henri Hakkinen, it basically gives a realistic kind of an effect. The gamer has ten attempts to hit the bull's eye. The faster you shoot, the better is your score. The maximum number of hits to the bull's eye will ensure that the gamer gets the gold.

The game is very effective and will be appreciated by the gamers as it is quite hard to win. Though me being a good online game shooter found it very easy to hit the bull's ey,e but to shoot it in lesser time was quite difficult. The game is definitely a must play all sports gamers as Games2win.com have really done a good job in framing such a fantastic game. My ratings for the game are as listed below

Is Singh really the King?

The latest roar on song........ Singh is king, sometimes with a reason and sometime without it. As the movie rises up on the chart buster list, there go all the kings. With the government finally succeeding in saving the vote of no confidence motion, the prime minister turned out to be the real king in the parliament. '*Yes...... he's smarter than our average PM and this time he's truly proven that Singh is King ' *With this propelling punch line, Games2win frames out a new game featuring on the prime minister of India, titled as '*Singh is king.*'

The game is based on the present and omnipresent circumstances of the Indian politics, a jungle of blame game, and features the prime minister of India caught in the midst of all the allegations and debates of the opposition. The gamer needs to pull him out of all the debates and allegations before its too late. National issues such as Inflation, Nuclear deals, Poverty, Protest and other international issues are barriers created by the opposition on the road where they can trap the prime minister but the gamer has to win the battle for Mr. Singh to crown him the real king

The game looks effective but wont turn the gamer on its feet after playing it. It just all about running on a plain track and jump or to skid, when meet by a hurdle. The graphics are ordinary and so is the platform. The sounds are wearing away in the race. My ratings for the game is as listed below.

Graphics- 5/10
Sound-7/10
Replay chances- 4/10

Storyboard-4/10
Overall- 5.6/10

All in all, 'Singh is King' is a good effort from Games2win; but running away from problems in the game is definitely not gonna make our Singh the King..............mind it..............!
