Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium War

The lecturer once told me that computer games is one of the good medium for us to interact and to experience and I agree to that statement. However there is one game that I have been playing for quite some times and I didn't realise this game provided us with unique way of playing and experience compare to the other game in the market. It is called Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars made by Electronic Art Company. It is a RTS (real time strategy) game like no other because it contain live-action movie during, before and after the mission in every chapter of a campaign. They use live-action as medium to tell the story and it made the player feel as if they are the "REAL" commander in a "REAL" live situation. Without the live-action cut scene, the game will be almost similar as the rest of the RTS game in the market.

Check out some of the video cutscene in You Tube.
There are 2 factions: The world defence organisation called GDI and the world terrorist orgaisation called Brotherhood of NOD. There is another faction called SCRIN which is an alien faction but it does not have any live-action cutscene.

Well, a new blog, because there is a new subject because there is a new lecturer... GREAT

Well a new subject for a new semester - Experiential Studies. When I sat down on the chair in class, I was expecting Puan Sri or Mr. Mazlan or Puan Mastura to be my lecturer, well I was wrong... it is Prof. Harold, the Dean himself. I was surprise and I am kinda of glad that Prof. Harold because he is a Dean and I heard he is an excelent lecturer, so I sort of have high expectation from the lecturer.

I find that the first class is great and Prof. Harold have shown me a lot of media that I have never experience before like artistic archicture to a new way to enjoy movies. I bet this is going be one of the kind class that I will not sleep.

Before the class I always thougt that I have seen almost all new things that the world has to offer like 3D movies, gadgetry , games, dinosaur...and so on; but after my first class of expriential studies, I found out that the world is bigger than I thought it would be because the lecturer have shown me something beyond my imagination as if like it only exist in dreams (Im not exagerating). After the class, the only thought in my head was, I want to know more. I'm looking forward for the next class
