Games That Could Be Awesome Movies


We see hordes of movies based on books that grace the screen time and again, and we also see few ones that are influenced by video games.
Albeit the ones that have been produced are disheartening and need to rot in the depths of hell, and hence we bring to you the games that should be made into movies, pronto!

1. God Of War


alt
Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than clubbing the badassery of Greek mythology, some heavy duty bashing that is reminiscent of Prince of Persia, and a landscape worth gawking at. And God Of War seems to have it all! It has the ancient gods in place to keep the anthropological geeks happy, enough high-octane drama to keep the movie-buffs sated, and ample lot of action to have the usual bunch who’re all there to see some blood spill! And simply put, it’s fun to see Greek Gods going haywire, as we’ve grown to enjoy such movies since the advent of cinema!

2. Dead Space

alt
Simply put, Dead Space is all that you get when Half Life meets Doom meets a wee-bit of Gears Of Wars and Aliens and hordes of other things. The plot is what catches your attention in the first minute itself, and it thickens with every passing moment! You are sent on a spaceship that is mining in an obscure corner of space that sends out a distress signal, and when you get there, you find everyone dead and strange horrifying creatures attacking you. Now the twist shows up when they unearth a valuable relic that is sought after by a futuristic religion and that’s where it all kicks off. Sounds interesting? Damn right, it is!

3. Halo

A world-renowned game itself, Halo needs no introduction. It has gone on to form a cult following of its own. Halo’s story is as action-packed as its gameplay. Based on the fight to save humanity from some ultra-ugly and horrendous aliens and to destroy the world’s most powerful weapon left by a race tens of thousands of years ago, Halo offers every thrill imaginable for a movie-goer. The story-line is gripping, and so is the action. Not to forget the ever-awesome Master Chief who happens to be the protagonist of the series and is thoroughly capable of whooping some alien derriere that’ll keep you asking for more. Club that with the ever-branching storyline, Halo would be a delight to watch!

4. Devil May Cry

alt
Consider this to be a typical Bollywood flick paired with the awesomeness that Hollywood beholds. Devil May Cry revolves around Dante’s goal to avenge his mother’s death, only to realize his mother was killed by the demon king himself. Dante later winds up fighting his evil twin and realizing his father too was a demon, albeit a good one! Calling this absurdly stupefying would be an understatement, and yet it truly is! The sword-wielding techniques, close combats, narrative, and the devilish yet suave demeanour of Dante is what makes Devil May Cry unique, and all these aspects perfectly imbibed in a game will do the trick equally well!

5. Hellgate: London

alt
What happens when hell’s gate decides to open up, that too in the hustling bustling future city of London? Chaos ensues! And this is the type of chaos we like! There are monsters, dragons, devils, and every other creature imaginable set loose from the depths of hell to fulfil the devil’s deeds, and an army of brave men is summoned as the last hope to defend mankind against the evil that faces them. Expect a bit of Lord Of The Ring-ish mastery unveil itself with the polished brilliance of that of British’s MI6, and you’d get Hellgate: London. Oh, and as an added bonus, the fine lady in the game is well-versed with the use of guns and blades. Rejoice!

How do we get rid of Blackheads and Whiteheads?

Maintaining a clear and beautiful skin, takes time, consistency and effort. Dermatologist may recommend lots of products, but some of them can be expensive and may actually take a long time to work. You can, however, incorporate some home remedies for blackheads and whiteheads into your daily beauty regimen and in a few weeks, you will experience a drastic reduction or even total elimination of the problem.

● Toothpaste – Toothpaste is an effective blackhead and whitehead remover. Apply a thin paste to your infected areas and let it sit on your face for at least 25 minutes. You will probably feel a burning sensation when you apply the toothpaste, but this is normal and will pass. Once you remove the toothpaste, the top of your blackheads and whiteheads will disappear, but you still need to thoroughly wash your face to remove the buildup underneath. Repeat this home remedy every other day for two weeks.

● Tomato – Tomatoes have natural antiseptic properties that dry up whiteheads and blackheads. Peel and mash a small tomato. Apply the tomato pulp to your blackheads and whiteheads before going to bed. Leave the tomato pulp on your face while you sleep and then wash your face in warm water in the morning.

● Lemon -Wash your face in warm water. Then, squeeze the juice of one lemon into a bowl. Add in a pinch of salt and stir the mixture. Apply the mixture to your blackheads and whiteheads. Leave the mixture on for approximately 20 minutes and then wash your face with warm water again.

● Lime – You can also use equal parts of lime juice and cinnamon powder and apply this mixture to blackheads. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off in the morning

● Cornstarch – Mix about a three-to-one cornstarch to vinegar ratio into a paste. Apply it to your problem areas and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove the paste with warm water and a washcloth.

● Yogurt - Mix three tablespoons of plain yogurt with two tablespoons of oatmeal. Add one teaspoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Stir the mixture thoroughly and apply it to the effective area of the face. Let the mixture sit for five to seven minutes then rinse off with cold water.

● Almond or oatmeal – Mix either oatmeal or almond powder with just enough rose water to make a spreadable paste. Apply it to your problem areas with your fingertips first and then apply it to the rest of your face. Let it set for about 15 minutes and then rinse your face with cold water.

● Rice – Soak rice in milk for 5 hours and then grind this in a blender until it is paste-like in consistency. Use the paste as a scrub on affected areas of the body.

● Potatoes – Grate raw potatoes and then rub the area with the mixture. Wash it off after 15 minutes.

● Fenugreek leaves – Crush some fenugreek leaves and mix with water to form a paste. Put this on the face for 15 minutes and then remove it. Do this every night to keep your face free of blackheads.

● Coriander leaves – Mix some coriander leaves and a little turmeric powder with water and form a paste. Use this as a mask to eliminate blackheads.

● Oatmeal -Grind oatmeal into a powder in a blender and then add some rose water. Use this on affected areas for 15 minutes and then wash it off with cold water.

● Baking soda – Prepare a mixture of equal parts of baking soda and water and rub it onto your face or other body areas prone to blackheads. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.

● Honey is also good for removing blackheads. Spread honey on the affected area and remove it after 15 minutes.

Remember – Be gentle to your skin. Never pinch, scrape, poke, press, or squeeze too hard
