Image
Shashank Kumar There are action games which are mixed with heavy and intensive role playing; that makes you sit hours hooked to it; and there are strategy games which takes the bolts out of your head; and there are racing games fast , aggressive which make you foresee whats coming next, but there are very less games which defines a genre of their own and, still, come out as a winner in terms of both game playing and addiction. Crayon physics is one masterpiece form the indie game designer 'Petri Purho' who actually managed to grab the Best Indie Game Award. Crayon Physics was designed in less than seven days.

Wars have caused immense destruction from the beginning of human civilization; but video game makers seem to love every small detail and nuances of untold wars, unsung heroes and a place that is full of rubble and shattered debris. I am not in the position to judge whether these games should really recreate the pain and horror that war is in reality; after all, there are no heroes in war.
