Game Review: Tomb Raider 2013

Image
Tomb raider is a 2013 action adventure game which reboots the famous gaming icon Lara croft first seen in the 1996 videogame Tomb raider. A little history lesson… When the first tomb raider came out it revolutionized the gaming industry. Cut scenes started playing an important role, plat forming became awesome and all this was tied off with a globetrotting adventurer who was easy on the eyes. Over the years there have been many sequels though none as successful as the first trilogy. The games which appeared after them were not very good and the series was fading. In 2007 crystal Dynamics adopted the franchise and rebooted the franchise with tomb raider legend. The game was a groundbreaking success and it also had a successful trilogy namely Legend, anniversary and underworld.  Then Square Enix stepped in and successfully took over the franchise. Their first outing with tomb raider was a co production with Crystal dynamics. Lara croft and the guardian of light intro...

TV Series Review: Sherlock Season 1 and Season 2

Sherlock is a modern day take on the wonderfully intricate cases of Sherlock Holmes the character created by Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock first appeared in publication in early 1887 and soon set the bar for Whodunit novels. Even after the death of Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock graced the pages of many books.

He has provided inspiration for many characters especially Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot When I first heard the idea of a modern day Sherlock from my friend, the first thing I thought was that “there are more electronic gadgets today, wont that make Sherlock’s life easier?” I dismissed the show as yet another grab to make money, and I have not been happier to be proven wrong. First of some introduction on the cast and crew- Creator...

Hello World!!! Hello world!! I am Mrithyunjay. I am 16 years old. I love books, movies and games. I prefer books to movies or games but I like it all. So that’s what this blog is going to be dedicated to. I will be sharing my thoughts on the books I read, the movies I watch, the games I play, their pros, cons and everything else in between. I love music, especially the classical instrumental pieces. Beethoven and Mozart are the kings of the world in my opinion. I also love good heavy metal bands. And to top that off I am a huge fan off all those YouTube stars out there. The piano guys, Lindsey Stirling, Alex Boye, Stephen J. Anderson, Peter Hollens, Mbandi, Against the current, Hannah Trigwell……….the list practically never ends. I aspire to be a writer. My inspirations are Patricia Cornwell, Agatha Christie, Rick Riordan, JK Rowling and Lee Child. One day I dream of publishing a book, or writing a screenplay, stuff like that. I am constantly working on improving my lan...
