Mafia II A BIG Incomplete Flop

Mafia II a big disappointment. I expected it to be a little more different from the first part and may be more. Don't get me wrong, the story is good, very captivating, the 3d world is highly detailed, superb graphics and neat cars but what spoiled the game for me is the short game hours, close ended game design, no option to buy properties, less interaction with the environment, no free time between missions and the worst of all, incomplete and sudden stop to the story. It may be a good strategy for the developers, leaving the gamers in cliff hanging situation but at times it creates bitterness.

A game after all these years, you would expect it to be able to compete with GTA series but in major portion it failed. True the GTA characters were kinda weak compared to the characters of Mafia II but that had more option and flexibility. A disappointing feature of Mafia II is that the protagonist CAN'T swim!! Come on!!! A few missions on the beautifully created waters, boat or ship would have been wonderful. There were few pretty cars but hardly any time to drive them around. And trust me after you once complete the game you will not want to have a go another time.

Mafia II is a neat game, no doubt, but would have been a game of the year if it had overcome those flaws. We had high expectation from the maker after they had delivered such a wonderful first part, but i guess the expectations were misplaced. If you come across it, do play it, you will love the game and the story, but i will not be responsible for aaaany outrage after you finish the game.

Happy gaming!!

City Cell Zoom Ultra... Yet Again..

Have I have started free promotion for Citycell Zoom Ultra? Heck no, I have started a blog to provide important informations to the Net users out there who are suffering gravely due to the indifference of few entities. Lets get back to the topic. Since Citycell will not help out its clients, its us the clients who have to help each other out till we have to use their services for our sake.

Just thought of letting the users know that even though the citycell zoom ultra service is more or less consistent sometimes you will or may need to configure the username and pass or dial number to access the citycell ultra for the creating a new profile or just setting up a dial up in windows. The dial number is '#777' with both username and password 'waps'.

Generally I use BTCL ADSL 1 MB connection but in emergencies when your phone line goes dead and remains dead for the weekend and days length at times in such emergencies nothing could be better than the prepaid packages like these. I would have thanked the citycell again but their lame site and lack of information cancelled that out. So no thanks.

City Cell Zoom Ultra

Hey there,

I know there are many unhappy citycell zoom users and mostly the new annoyed users who have just bought the citycell zoom ultra package. I myself faced the citycell ultra pain few days back when i had decided to  buy it as a backup since my other backup, GP net's performance was on the decline.

Anyway, after buying the citycell ultra package the first dillema i faced was how to activate the zoom since the zoom point guy forgot to inform me. So i had decided to google it and surprisingly i could not find any information regarding the citycell zoom service. the Citycell's site itself was the biggest disappointment of all. There was a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section which had absolutely no important information posted.

After about half an hour of searching i called a support number at around 12.45am and thankfully a customer manager was able to help me out. Just posting the number in case someone out there needs it - +8801199121121.

Here is the info i actually meant to post in this blog (its for Zoom Prepaid by the way):

To activate Zoom (not the ultra):

• Type ZOOM and send the text to 9666 (Spells Zoom on keypad)
• To deactivate it (ZOOM) type ZOOM OFF and send it to 9666

To activate Zoom Ultra just type in the service or the package

For example i am using the ULTRA 2 which is 1.5 GB for 920 BDT  (including VAT) at 300 kbps (37 KBps), i had to send a text to 9666 with ULTRA2 as the content of the message.

After you have activated the Zoom Ultra and connected to internet, you will notice the citycell cuts the balance without any notification. Its kinda unnerving. Anyway, thats all for today. If you have any other question just dial the help line (mentioned somewhere above).

Signing off for the day,

Adios

P.S. So far, the citycell Zoom Ultra Net Service has been really satisfactory, worth the investment. Best of luck.
