Multiplayer Madness!



1.Team Fortress 2

Before team fortress 2, it was really hard to imagine animation-graphics and insane ruthless battles side by
side.Well that's what team fortress essentially is.It may seem really odd,but after youfeast your hands on team fortress 2 you will not question the developers decision.

Basically team fortress 2 is like any other multiplayer game.
You choose which team your on(blues or reds) and you exterminate the other team's members and while your at it, your primary objective is to secure key locations in the map you are playing .


There are 9 unique classes to choose from in team fortress 2 ,from the treacherous spy to the overconfident soldier.They are all stupid,funny and flat out crazy which makes them really likable.Each class has a distinctive role on the outcome of each battle making team work crucial for victory.

I personally enjoy playing Team fortress 2, i find the game to be unique specially its animation-like graphics, very well done art direction and insane bloody wars that will have you at the edge of your seat.However,This is an opinion i know some people to turn away from this game due to its cartoony graphics and excessive dependence on teamwork.


2.Counter strike

Grab a gun,look for the enemy,shoot to kill.That is what counter strike basicall
y is,and yet no other game does this better than counter strike.Its simplicity makes the the second best game on our list.

When you start Counter strike you need to choose which team you are on,you can choose between the counter(good guys) and the terrorists(bad guys)and then you must choose your weapon of choice by pressin (b) or the buy button which it is usually called.Sometimes the weapons are scattered on the ground and you'll need to pick your weapon up.You can choose any type of weapon from pistols to sniper rifles.

Games usually last for around 2 minutes and during that time chaos engulfs the server,which makes the game pretty fun.
The only downside to this game is that most players you will get to face have been playing for years,which means that you'll die a lot.

.Avast! pro antivirus
.Grisoft AVG 8.0.93




1.Scanning speed


The Scanning speed of an Anti-virus is perhaps the most important aspect of the anti-virus.Consumers seek out the fastest and least tedious mean to scan their computer and now we are going to unveil the best

1.Eset NOD 32-Revolutionary-Scanned 60,000 objects(40gb) in 6 minutes and 48 seconds,or 408 seconds.Average speed:98 mb/s, 100%

2.Features and Accessibility

The Features and the Accessibility of the anti-virus will pretty much be the first things you get a taste of, after you purchase the anti-virus,and if they fall below your expectations,I have no doubt that you’ll demand a refund.
