Hi guys and thanks for taking some time to read my newspaper. Just for some of you people who might be thinking what Gaience is, it's actually a gaming newspaper but with a little bit of scienctific theories. Gaming+Science=Gaience! Ok now onto the articles.....
Upcoming Games

Game Rumours
As you all know, there are such game rumours. One of them is the rumour that Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2 is coming out but I do have confirmation that it WILL be COMING. Infinity Ward has confirmed this. (Try searching it on the net, it’ll help).
But today, I won’t be talking about COD (Call of Duty), instead I will be talking about the rumoured SWB3(Star Wars Battlefront 3). There is no lead if there will be a SWB3 but there is one leaked video that has been shown on the net. Here’s the link:

This is the SWB we’ve been wanting. It has ground to air combat where you can get into a ship and fly it to space unlike SWB2 or 1. You can even bash up a storm trooper with an Ewok!(lol I liked that part) and you could also fly Boba/Jango Fett’s ship! It even has a good storyline. Looking forward to this. This would sure be a bestseller if it were to sell in the market.
PC
Best strategy game: Sins of a Solar Empire
After finally managing to survive through 2 hours of Sins of a Solar Empire, I have just captured 3 planets. This is the game for those strategy gamers who really want to manage a country (instead of countries, this game uses planets) as well as going to war with the other factions. You can build alliances with other factions too. I haven’t tried the online part yet but I could tell you this, this is a recommended game.
Best Shooter: Far Cry 2
Almost, maybe I should say all, parts of the game is in first-person mode which is giving you the “feel” like as if you’re in that game, running away from bullets. What makes this game a good badass game is that it is mostly based on reality (other than the fact that your going solo most of the time against a whole army of baddies) like the part where you can pull shrapnel out of your skin and when your gun gets jammed. Nice memories, aren’t they?
Best Multiplayer:Left 4 Dead
I don’t know where to start to talk about the good things about this game cos almost all of it is good! The multiplayer, co-op mode, zombies, graphics and did I mention multiplayer? Oh and the maps! Although everything sounds so good, the best part of it is the multiplayer part. Better than any other multiplayer mode is when your team is being chased by zombies and your stuck in a zombie apocalypse. A must-try game.
Tips and tricks for L4D
Here are the five golden rules you have to live by to live(survive) in the world of L4D multiplayer.
Rule no. 1
Know the Map like the back of your hand: You should really make an effort to get familiar with the map so you could get extra ammo, health etc. Of course, you wouldn't want to lead your team into a spawn area of a tank. And also know the "ambush places" where you can get ambushed by the enemies.
Rule no.2
Get a leader and listen to his orders(unless you want to be kicked out of the server)
Assign a team leader in your team, of course the team leader must be familiar with the map, so it would not end up like the one I said earlier. Listen to all the team leader's commands and maybe, just maybe, he could save your life. If you hate being told what to do, why don't ypu learn to give orders.
Rule. no 3
Be cautious of your surroundings
L4D is a game where you need all of your senses(except for smell, but be sure to get out of the house if you smell smoke), you got to hear if there is a sobbing sound (witch) or the change in the music(hunter etc). Use your eyes to spot out figures in the dark. It could save your skin.
Rule no.4
Stay in formation
1 in front, 2 at teh left and right and 1 at the back. There you got yourself a perfect formation to cover each other.
Rule no.5
Noobs, give the shotguns to the pros
Ok, pros, this is when you come in, grab the shotguns first while leaving the noobs with the SMGs. We wouldn't want any "friendly-fire" accidents, would we?
Live by the rules, Live in L4D.
Q and A:
